Share With Us Your Embarrasing Tales!

I like running. I particularly love running at a nearby lake we call the "Old Mill" (for the Gone With the Wind fans, it's the very same mill you see in the opening of the movie). Unfortunately, a lot of people like running and walking around the lake so one morning I decided to get up before dawn and get a good, quiet run in.

Sure enough, there was nobody there so I began my run while enjoying the wooded surroundings and watching the early morning mist roll over the lake... then I see it. Oh snap! A chow! You see, chows don't like me and I don't like chows. It was big, fluffy and full of teeth and he was about a hundred yards up the path staring at me. I stop and we stare at each other for a few moments - then he charges!

I jump off the trail in the woods next to the lake shore and grab a stick. Great. A rotted one. Ah, but then I see a nice, solid limb laying there amidst the pine needles. I quickly grab it and leap back on the path, crouching and ready to swing... Ah-ha!

But to my surprise there's no chow there. Instead, there's a girl who was running up from that direction right in front of me. She stopped in mid stride and looked at me with alarmed eyes.

"Um... *blushing* did you, um, see a dog?"

"Uh, no", she says.

I'm looking around hoping the dog shows up now so I don't look a mugger ambushing young ladies running around the lake!

"Wait, don't I know you", she asks.

You. Have. To. Be. Kidding. Yep, I recognized her as well - I worked with her.

"Well," awkwardly she begins, "I have to get going so I can shower before work. Nice, uh, 'running into you' like this..."

Yep. Same. Not!

Of course I then start running into her around the office after that, though strangely, she kept her distance from me...



Yeah. So... what's your story?





P.S.

I never saw that chow again...

Most embarrassing tale? Hummm. I am excellent at tripping. At the most convenient times. You know when there are like ten thousand people around.

Back when I was 19, my sister was in her 8th grade homecoming court so of course I went to watch her. We sat down on the bleachers and I thought it felt a little cold, but thought nothing of it. When we got up to leave my mom realized that I had ripped the back of my pants and my undies were on display (thank God I was wearing ones with a full back side on them!). It's not even like the jeans were tight..I guess just cheaply made. Luckily it was January so I just tied my jacket around my waist..who does that anymore..so people were still looking at me like a weirdo. Suprisingly that's not the first time the back of my pants have ripped in public. When I was 14 my shorts ripped getting off of a ride at an amusement park. I had no jacket then because it was summer..my dad just walked closely behind me and we went back to the hotel.

Ok.....seriously, this is in my top three most embarrassing moments but the only one I'm willing to share.

Every year we have a big hot air balloon race in St.Louis. It starts in Forest Park which is bigger than Central Park in NYC. It's a HUGE event...the park is packed. The two younger kids were at the inlaws so I decide to bike to the event with my daughter. So after the event we are riding home and we are on the sidewalks because the streets are rather dangerous and I have my daughter with me. So I come to a group of people and yell out...on your left...they don't move. So I'm closer and again..on your left...nothing. So I attempt to ride onto the grass with my handy dandy mountain bike and when I cut back my tire happens to fall right into a large crack between the grass and concrete...it locks up...I go flying over the handle bars and skid across the sidewalk and into the street. The people I was trying to pass came running over....they don't speak english...which explains why they didn't scoot,lol. My daughter is horrified...people are gawking.....and the kicker......I tinkled in my pants. Seriously...I was so scared I peed myself. I had to ride home in my peepee pants. My daughter thought it was the funniest thing that she ever witnessed...after she realized the only thing I hurt was my pride.

LOLOL!! Oh, joy... finally I get to laugh at somebody else's expense.

I feel your pain though - on a caving trip I ended up ripping the back of my jeans (last time I wear cheap Old Navy jeans caving!) sliding down a bottleneck. My boxers were on display for the whole group for the next 4 hours...

Haha! I'm really enjoying reveling in the misery and embarrasment of others. Hmm, well, can't say I've peed my pants, so you've got me there.

And if you're getting married next year, you'd better watch your wedding dress because this five year thing could get really embarrassing.

Now I have a few embarrassing stories. I ripped my pants one afternoon when I was helping load some equipment. I caught my jeans on something and just ripped the side. I had a class that afternoon and I didn't have time to go home and change.

You'd start to think everyone has ripped their pants at one point in time, yet I've never had the fortune at laughing at them - only being laughed at.

 

[Rhye]

Simple. I was walking. I tripped. All the people turned and looked at me. And there was absolutely nothing on the ground for me to trip from. I tend to do that a lot.

Oh, once in painting class, I set up all my stuff and sat on the chair. I walked around the whole day with paint on my butt and no one told me, until my friend who saw me by the end of the day, pointed it out.

I walked all over the department that day. No one said a thing. No one.

My ripped pants experience wasn't embarrassing...it was terrifying. It was my birthday and I was 9...a bit of a tomboy still. My mom was so happy....she bought me a pair of Calvin Klein jeans....I was supposed to be her little disco diva girl. I could not have cared less. So I tried them on..then went out to play. I was chasing a friend and hopped a fence and ripped the pants. I freaked. I knew she would kill me. So my friend drug me into his house and attempted to sew the rip with his mom's sewing kit. But I didn't take the jeans off first and he ended up jabbing a threaded needle into my leg. I ended up going home...walking my death march...knowing I was going to be killed on my 9th birthday. She was going to spank me but then she saw where I had been sewn up by my friend and she grounded me instead,lol.

Well I'm not sure how familiar you are with bridal gown terms, but my dress has a cathedral train on it...if someone steps on my train and rips that back of my dress..well first of all, someone is going to die, second, I want back my $900 it shouldn't rip that easily.

I'm familiar with the terms. I'd want my money back too.

I copied this from my Face the Board thread in the mens' forum because I don't see the point in typing it out again. Edited slightly for female company.

When I was in junior high school I went with my family to see The Sixth Sense at a drive-in movie theater. It was the second in a double feature, and halfway through the movie I had to pee. However, the restrooms were at the far end of a dark, slightly-wooded field, and I'll admit it: I was too creeped out to go. So I sat uncomfortably through the movie, bounced and twitched all the way home, and walked carefully through the back yard to the house and up the stairs to the bathroom.

And my dad was in there.

I waited for about 2 minutes, and then - literally holding it - ran down the stairs, out the front door, and let loose off the front stairs behind the bushes that stood on our front yard. It was about 1:30 AM, so I figured nobody would come by and see me.

I figured wrong. Some high school girls came by at just that moment, and there was no way I could stop peeing and put everything away. They pointed and giggled and walked a little faster, and I just kept going, turned to the side to hide my parts as much as possible, and nearly died with shame.

It was cold out, too.

I was trying to buy something embarrassing in Wal-mart tonight and as I was trying to find the right aisle the floor washer chased me down on aisle and up the next. I finally found what aisle I needed and was trying to pick what I needed out and here comes the floor washing zamboni and chases me away again. I try and go back to the aisle and they're stocking the shelves I need to get to. If it wasn't bad enough to be embarrassed about the product there were obstacles. I didn't realize I was in a sitcom. But all the stuff I got to distract from the one embarrassing thing, I ended up buying. I now have quilting squares. And new toothpaste. But not what I needed, because I'm shy.
