Most Embarrasing Experience...

ChristianDude777 · May 5, 2005

Grace and peace to all,

This might have been done already but hey...it's good for a laugh.

Maybe we can post our biggest public "DOH..!!!"

I'll start...

In the summer of my 9th grade year, a bunch of us teens were working at the school. A summer job program...

There was a big room where the metal fabrications lab was located. It had two big garage doors (it was right next to auto mechanics..) that allowed you to drive right onto the outside pavement.

Well, one day we were to cut the grass on the school grounds. The teachers who were our supervisors parked a bunch of riding mowers in the room for us to go cut the grass with.

As I'd always used a push mower and never driven a riding mower, I had NO idea how the thing worked.

BUT....being ever adventurous, I had no doubt I could rise to the challenge.

I got on my mower, cranked it, put in gear, released the clutch, and took off...........backwards...

Yep, I had put the thing in reverse...

Sooo....not wanting anyone in the room to get hurt, I did the only thing I could think of..........I jumped off.

So here goes this renegade riding mower with no navigator, plowing down the room, backward.

It proceeded down the wall on the left side of the room, taking down desks, stools, trash cans, etc. It hit the teachers desk, took a right hand turn, and went along the back wall, again, taking out desks, tables, stools, people, and everything else that got in it's path.

Finally, some brave soul chased it down and got it stopped.

After the exhaust fumes cleared, the room was seen to be in....well....let's just say it looked different than it did before the mower got loose.

It was a mess folks...

Everyone had a real good laugh...except the teacher who's room was destroyed.

I had no choice but to laugh as well and humbly display that "I meant to do that" expression.

It's safe to say that my crediability as an avid outdoorsman was on shakey ground...

Now, if only someone else will post here, maybe I'll have a chance to point and laugh for once...

God bless you all...

Tim....I would be more than happy to add to the embarassing memories. I mean I am always up for the laugh, and I have to say I enjoyed your post. I have had interesting experiences with riding lawn mowers too, almost ran over my mom and dad with one....wasn't pretty!

Ok, on to my lovely story! I was over at my best friend's house. A huge group of our friends had gathered in the living room and we were watching a movie. The guy I had a huge crush on was there that night. So, my best friend thought this would be the perfect night for me to ask him to the prom...I wasn't as thrilled with the idea being I am so shy. She managed to get everyone out of the living room and tell them to come with her for a minute to her room, so him and I could have a minute alone so I could ask him to prom. He was oblivious to everything and when everyone left he was like what is going on. I had no choice but to ask him straight out and he said yes. I was relieved of course. So, he yelled for everyone to come back in the living room. When they all got back in there, my best friend asked at the top of her lungs what took so long, I thought you two were making out in here. The guy I had a crush on, yelled back at her at the top of his lungs while keeping his eyes on me....No, but we still can!

Another embarassing moment I had I posted under the embarassing moments during a date...which is the best one yet...but I didn't want to repeat myself. So, if you want a good laugh, check that one out too! If I think of anymore I'll post those later.

So much for being shy, huh..???

Thank you for posting here. Man, I was beginning to think no one else had ever experienced the Doh factor.

LOL...I'm a stutterer and really struggle with my speech when I am nervous, excited, tired, etc....so the Doh factor comes into play basically whenever I open my mouth!!!

When I was around mid twenties or so I shared an appartment with another girl. We each bought our own food since she was a vegetarian and I am a carnivore, through and through.

I used to go food shopping every Sunday morning. Well one week I couldn't believe how fast I was going through my groceries! The milk was just about gone by Tuesday and I had no lunch meats to make sandwiches from. Also that week I was beginning to wonder if I had a hygene problem because whenever I was alone in my car going to and from work, I would smell this increasingly disgusting smell. I would go home and shower and use deoderant and perfume but the next day the smell would be worse.

Well finally Sunday came and it was time to go grocery shopping again. I went through the store, got my stuff and went to load the bags into the car. Well wouldn't you know once I opened the trunk there were about 7 bags of full groceries in there from the prior Sunday!!!!! That's what the smell was and that is why on Tuesday I had no milk and I didn't have any lunch meats!!! I must have gotten distracted after I had shopped the prior Sunday and just forgot to unload the bags.

Dooooooh.

My moment involves speedboats, innertubes and the loss of a swimsuit at a church retreat. Add all together and see what you all get.

Wow, those were all pretty funny.

-_- I can't think of any embaressing moments right now, but I'll come back if I think of any.

My most embarrassing experience was um...oyyy, this is tough!! It's just so humiliating. *sigh*

Fine, fine. Lemme just say it and get it overwith. I'll try not to be too gross in explaining. Oyyy. Okay, I once was walking around for God knows how long with toilet paper hanging out of the back of my pants at my job. *runs away and hides* I WANTED TO DIE, because I work in a RETAIL STORE, people. I CAN BE SEEN. The toilet paper I had placed on the seat got pulled up along with my pants and stayed hanging from the top of the pants. No, it THANKFULLY wasn't wedged in my butt crack or anything...just caught to my pants. But that makes no difference to whoever saw me after I came from the bathroom. To them, I might as well have had toilet paper in my butt.

An embarrassing story short, one male co-worker finally decided to say something, but couldn't do so to my face for understandable reasons, so he told a female worker to tell me instead, feeling it was better that a girl inform me and not a guy. And when she passed the message to me that I had toilet paper hanging out from the top of my pants I just imploded. I was just SO embarrassed and wanted to leave. I scolded myself for not noticing, for not even CHECKING. It was from then on that I ALWAYS turn around and look at my backside in the mirror to make sure there's no clingy toilet paper there. Stupid stupid stupid!

Excuse me while I go hide under a rock now.

Ok, I remembered another one. I am in a medieval reenactment group and we were all in our medieval garb. Just making small talk with the heavy fighters, I asked them why they wore such long belts and let the end of the belt just hang down. So, one of the guys said here let me show you. He took my hand and pulled me closer...some how at the same time he took his other hand and wrapped the belt around my waist. In the blink of an eye he had pulled me up against his chest with the help of his belt and our noses were nearly touching! All I could think was, "WHERE ARE MY HANDS? WHERE ARE MY HANDS?" Thankfully, my arms were still at my sides and not in front of me touching places on him they shouldn't be! *whimpers*

i fell off a raised platform with a baritone saxophone in grade 8 concert. i was in a quintet, and a couple people just wanted to shift over. and they kept on asking. but i had to shift over so much that my chair toppled. i wasn't hurt and neither was my golden sax. that wasn't really the embarassing part. what was embarassing was that it was videotaped and shown again and again, upon request, during music classes for a while.

i miss my sax, but of course i couldn't play a note now even if i tried since it's been so long

Here's one for you folks.

I'm a worship leader / song writer. One Sunday morning my Pastor announced 'Rick has a 'thong' to share with us'.... I did wonder where his mind was at that moment in time! finally when everyone had picked themselves up off the floor and wiped away the tears of laughter I shared my 'song'...

Dooooooh.

I have a similar food D'OH!

When going to grad school I made it a habit to sneak out hard-boiled eggs out of the lunchroom so that I could eat them during a class break. Anyway, one day I put one in my bag, and went on with my business. I didn't eat the egg right way like I normally did. For the next few weeks I kept on smelling a foul odor nearly everywhere I went. For weeks I was stumped on where the smell was coming from. Then, one day as I was going through my bag before class I came across the spoiled rotten hard-boiled egg! I quickly tossed the egg and promptly washed my back pack!

My next embarassing moment is when I got lost in Ft. Hood Army Base in Kileen. I was simply trying to go around Lake Belton for a nice leasiurely drive during my college graduation week.

Picture this. You see big Army tanks coming down the road towards you, and signs telling you that this is an Army Base. All of the other civilian cars turn left, but you make a right. You drive several miles and still keep on seeing these GIANT Army tanks and army guys, and out of the corner of your eye to the left you see some kind of weapons testing.

I eventually got to a road block, and had to turn around. I headed back and eventually got to the checkpoint. Since I didnot have a pass I had to show them my ID, etc., etc., etc. This is the most embarassing moment in my life-and I don't get embarrassed too easily!

Ironically, the checkpoint army guys probably don't rememeber me, nor did they probably know that I was going in the wrong direction, etc., etc., etc.

Lessons learned:
1. ALWAYS take a map with you if you are near a military base!
2. Don't ignore the signs (Army tanks, etc.). Turn around immediately to save yourself the embarrasment.

I know a story that can top that one. At a NCAA Baylor women's volleyball game a few years ago, one of the opponants-well, let's just say that we could tell that it was her time of the month because there was a string hanging from her shorts.

Ambular · May 10, 2005

I was a sophomore in high school...
I was one of the star players on our varsity softball team and we were playing in our schools first ever playoff appearance. We were down by 1 run in the 7th inning (fast pitch softball has 7 innings opposed to 9 in baseball), but we had runners in scoring position with a chance to win the game. I was on 2nd base and there was another runner on 3rd. Well, for some reason I thought there was also a runner on 1st. We had 2 outs at this time. The pitcher walked our batter, and stupid me, thinking the bases were loaded, started doing a slow trot towards 3rd (since this walk would have meant the runner on 3rd would have gone home, I would have gone to 3rd and the "runner on 1st" would have gone to 2nd... automatically). Needless to say, once the pitcher saw me headed towards 3rd, she quickly ran over and tagged me out. Nobody even said anything to me as I left the base, and later I found out this was because everybody was so shocked that nothing would come out of their mouths! So I still didn't even quite realize what had happened until we ran into the dugout and my coach told me there wasn't a runner on 1st. Man, I felt like and IDIOT! Because of my stupid mistake, my team's chances in our FIRST EVER playoff game were shot. Nobody could even believe what I did, because like I said, I was one of the star athletes at my school! I went home and cried and cried and cried... and then I told my mom I was NEVER going to school again! :o Well, of course I did. And everyone forgave me because of course we all make mistakes. But regardless, it was the most EMBARASSING moment of my life!

Everybody together now..."DOH!"

We should all get trophies for at least having the guts to keep our chins up and take it like true champions...
