Most embarrasing moments...

[throwingbones]

I'll start...

My junior year of high school, I wanted to ask Lisa to our Winter Banquet. (I went to a private school, so we didn't have dances.) I was at Dairy Queen with several friends from school, including her and some of her friends. I was sitting at a separate table with a couple of my good friends. They knew that I was planning on asking her that night and apparently they told everyone else; eventually word even got to her, unbeknownst to me.

I'm kind of a private person and I wanted to ask her privately, not in front of everyone... so I was waiting for the right opportunity. After some time went by, she got up and walked outside by herself; supposedly to see if her sister had arrived yet. I waited for a minute, gathering my courage and then I stood up. All of my friends started cheering, whistling, and applauding as I walked towards the door. I got close to the door and suddenly Lisa walked back in the door, so I did the only thing that I could do. I walked right past her and out the door, as everyone was still hooting and hollering at me. I must have sat outside for a good ten minutes trying to figure out what I was supposed to do now. I couldn't be smooth about this anymore. So I walked back inside, walked past her table to mine, and sat down. I scolded my friends for their obvious betrayal of my trust and was told that Dairy Queen had threatened to call the cops because of all the noise that my friends were making on my behalf.

Again, Lisa got up and walked outside. I immediately stood up and told everyone to keep quiet this time. I walked outside and saw Lisa's back to me. She then turned around and said, "So, are you going to ask me to the banquet or what?!?" So I said, "Lisa, will you go to the banquet with me?" And she said, "Yes." And that was the end of it. It was quite embarrassing.

I was in a play durring my senior year. There was a scene in the play where I was suppose to run off the stage and behind some tables that were set up on their sides. Well, it was dark, and as you've probably already guessed...I missed the gap in between the two tables and hit face first...the crowd loved it though.

Great story throwingbones!

Is this just general most embarrasing moments, or to do with the opposite sex?

I remember, one time, I was about 7 or 8 or something, I went to visit an old friend of mine from playcenter when I was 4. I guess you could call her my first girlfriend, lol. Anyway, I went out to see her, and at one point during the day, I was trying to make her laugh by pretending to be a crab. Little did I realise I had a hole in my shorts... which she pointed out to me. I tried to act like there was no hole, and proceeded to get up from my crab stance.

I still remember most of that day fairly vividly.

Part of high school graduation ceremony required me to sing for everybody before the senior slideshow, and as I was walking over to the performance riser, my choir director yelled, "catch!" and threw a mic at me. I wasn't really paying attention and the mic bounced off my face, put me off balance, and I stepped right into the gap between the risers and got my gown stuck for a second. :o

Now thankfully, my graduating class was only 55 people and so there couldn't have been more than about 500 people there, including my classmen. But without missing a beat, I got up, grabbed the mic, and asked him, "I know that was probably your last opportunity, but be honest now- How many years have you been wanting to do that?"

Everyone laughed, commencement proceeded, I got my diploma and went home to put ice on my face.

But it was a masterful save, if I do say so myself.

haha, that's great!

I just meant embarrassing stories in general... it just so happens that mine has to do with the opposite sex.

By the way, yes I did get the girl... but the banquet was awful. She was one of those girls that say yes to be nice, when they really want to say no. She pretty much ignored me the whole evening... I think she must have gone to the bathroom 8 times. Ah well, such is life.

I got another one, also has to do with the opposite sex. Not a huge story... I was over at a girls house, one that I had a crush on at the time. I believe it was the summer between my Junior and Senior year in high school. There were about 5 or 6 of us that would go over to her house everynight and hang out until 1 or 2 in the morning. We did this almost every night that summer. Well, one night I really had to use the restroom (and I am one of those people that don't like to go anywhere except at your own toilet at your own home), but I had to go bad. So, I used her toilet in her bedroom. When I tried to flush... it didn't work. The pipes were backed up and the toilet water started rising. It overcame the bowl and started pouring down the sides onto the floor. I panicked and grabbed towels and layered them around the base of the toilet. Before I knew it, there was a huge mess. I had to go out and face the music... she took it well. I was totally embarrassed. Found out later the pipes were old and broken and they had to replace all the pipes... it wasn't my fault! I was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Took me a long time to be able to use a "strange" toilet again.

Anyways, keep them coming.

 

[seangoh]

HAHAHAA that's so funny and man it sure is embarassing i believe.

Ok, for me i don't think i've ever had a really embarassing moment. Sorry folks.

 

[Tuffguy]

throwingbones,,, LOL
Thats a great story. There isn't enough room here to describe how awkward i was around girls as a teenager. Your story hit way to close to home.

Nater_Tater reminded me of a theatrical screwup of my own. I was in a play in the 9th grade, and once scene called for me to throw a suitcase through the door of my "hotel room" and offstage. My main concern was making it through the door, which I thankfully did that night. However, the case made a slide as soon as it hit the ground offstage, colliding with a huge 5 glass jug and completely shattering it. The entire audience could hear what happened, and was in a sort of bemused shock. I quickly tried to come up with some way to cover for it, and decided to go with what I was really thinking:

"Now I'll have to pay for that," I said.

The audience erupted into laughter and, thankfully, I didn't have to pay for the jug.

I was in high school and was labeled in gym class to be the second fastest runner-female in the school. The only other female that could out run me was a friend of mine and she would only beat me by a split second. Well one day during gym class we were have races. During one round I realized my opponent was going to be that friend, so I had made up my mind that when it was our turn she wasn't going to beat me this time. I heard our number called, I started running as fast as I could and was ahead of her, I crossed the line first(which was at the middle of the gym),but after I crossed it I was running so fast I couldn't stop myself. I ended up tripping over my own feet, fell flat on my face, and slid on my stomach all the way to the end of the gym!!! When I stopped, I turned myself over just to find the whole class in my face staring at me and the teacher laughing playfully . The teacher then stooped down and said to me, "well you have finally won the title for fastest female runner, too bad it wasn't a graceful win", lol. I was so embarassed but I got what I wanted.

When I was in 10th grade at Lunch the whole ruby team was getting the bus and one girl yelled out "Erin likes Matt" the whole team heard. Another time a guy came up to me at school and asked me if I was stocking my crush.

It was in my 7th grade year, I was not paying attention to what I was doing and I forgot to finish dressing out for gym class (forgot the shorts )

Did not help my image much, I just hope that everyone has forgotten about it by now, and that it will not be brought back up at the 10 year reunion this year

peace

Yeah, I did that too, only I was still trying to put my shirt on while I was walking out of the locker room, and one of my classmates happened to be walking out of the boys' locker room at the same time. He just kinda giggled at me and then hit on me for the rest of the time I was at that school.

I have tons lol. Especially from drama. One night before a play, a friend of mine whom I'd known for several years, decided for some reason to pick on me that night (not in a bad way though, just teasing). So, I had just come back from the dressing room and was about to go walk on stage (a tradition of mine to get me less nervous before performances). He came up from behind me without me having a clue and slapped my bottom really hard! I turned around in shock and he and several other crew members just laughed. Hahah okay NO it was not sexual harassment the guy was like a bro to me.

Also, I was in another play where I had to go barefoot the entire play. Behind stage my friend Andy and I would always goof off and sometimes we would arm wrestle (skinny guy lol). One of the other guys (the one mentioned in the paragraph above) had to eat grapes as part of one of the scenes (Greek play). During one rehearsal he left his grapes backstage. We did the rehearsal with all the lights, so backstage was very dark. When Andy and I arm wrestled that time, it got out of hand and we almost started actually wrestling. Then all of a sudden I felt something squish under my feet. Sure enough I got grapes all over my foot and didn't have time to wash it off. I was so embarassed walking out on stage with grapes all over my feet!

I have a few more...One day during my junior year I guess, this soph. guy who was really cute, good Christian etc., but also very arrogant came up to me. He was well liked but thought that anyone who did not go to church five times a week was a heathen. He also didn't remember things because it seemed as though he thought I wasn't a Christian. He invited me to hear his Christian band and go to his church and etc. He would also often come up to me and ask me really off topic questions. I couldn't figure out if he liked me or was just a pain lol. Well, this one day he comes up to me after talking to a few of my friends and says, "hey Melissa...so do you put on blush or is that just your natural color? That is blush right?" I didn't know what to say, as usual he caught me in one of his off topic questions. I just said "yah it's blush" and he said "oh ok" then grinned. I was embarassed that my friends heard the conversation and that he pointed out the fact that I do wear makeup.

This other one didn't happen to me it happened during a play I was in, in a scene with the guy who played my husband in the play. He played a wife beating redneck drunk. He was Orville from Daddy's Dyin Who's Got The Will, in case anyone knows that play. Anyway, he had to change backstage for this one scene very quickly. When he entered from the "hallway" I was supposed to say something like "oh Orville where have you been? No telling with you!". Well, he forgot to button his fly one night! When he walked out I noticed and chuckled, but still covered with a different line...I said, "Oh Orville, do I have to do everything for you? You don't even know how to dress yourself!" Then I pointed to his open fly and he corrected it

From the title I was reminded of a similar thread I started earlier this year.

I mentioned about when I was about 4 I tried to play Dr. Dolittle and tried to talk to my neighbor's dog by barking at it. I must of said something wrong because he decided it was in his best intrest to take a bite out of my face and tear my entire cheek off.

But a story more embarrasing than that would be one time at a restaurant that had an all you can eat buffet (this was a local restaurant, now closed down) after eating I got to feeling sick and started to throw up. Filled three desert bowls with a liquid that looked like a choclate soup. I was about 8 at the time and my family has never let me forget about that night.

Ok ok I got a good one.
One time I was at the State Fair of Texas with my mom and dad. I was about 3 years old. Anyway, my dad says "I'm gonna go get us some food and drinks", so he leaves. He gets the drinks, and comes back to find a huge croud of over 100 people gathered around something. My dad says he started panicking because he couldn't find us in the group and thought something might have happened to me or my mom. Well, he says he got through, and what does he see in the middle of this big group of people? Me, cutting a rug and going crazy dancing to the music they were playing throughout the fair. My dad says he couldn't stop laughing.

When I was a Freshman in high school, we we're playing kickball in gym class. Someone kicked the ball at me, and it knocked me off my feet while the ball went flying onto the air. I'm lying on my back, and I open my eyes to see the ball come straight down and hit me in the face.

I missed my step when I went down these stairs at this big shopping mall one time... I was looking to this movie listings somewhere else and didn't pay attention to my steps. What made it more embarassing that my dad told me that he was just telling my mom that he liked how the stairs being built (note: he's an architect & design/build houses so he pays attention to stuff like that). Sure enough after he finished his sentence, I was literally sliding all the way down toward him, free-styling..woo hooo and BAM!! I was laughing and crying at the same time. I was so embarrased and didn't even want to look around because I know people were looking. lol. And gosh, it hurt!!! I got pretty bad bruises for weeks.
