Embarrassing Moments From Around The World
THAT SINKING FEELING
I was attending a party where a group of us were lounging in
a jacuzzi on the upper floor of the house. I needed to go to
the bathroom very badly but I didn't want to go down to the
bottom floor, where everyone was fully clothed. I went into
the bathroom on the upper deck and found it had a bathtub,
sink, but no toilet! There was no way I was going to make it
downstairs in time, so stripped off my bathing suit and
hitched myself up onto the sink. While in progress, the owner
of the house opened the door and caught me naked and peeing
in his sink! All he said before closing the door was, "Oh!
Excuse me!", but I was mortified.

STRANDED WITHOUT COVER
I went on a trip to the beach with a group of friends. We came
back to our hotel after a long day of sand and sun. I was about
to take a shower and was wearing only a towel. Thinking they
were funny, my "friends" pushed me out of the room and locked
the door. In the struggle, my towel came off and got caught
in the door. I couldn't get it out! So there I was, naked and
stranded in the hallway, banging on the door like a crazy person.
If that wasn't bad enough, a whole group of people came walking
right past me and one of them was a guy who'd I'd been flirting
with at the beach that day! I had given him my number earlier
in the day, but he never called me. Go figure!

SPLIT
When I was in high school I had a bad temper. One day, my
boyfriend and I got into a fight. He began to walk away from
me and I tried to chase him. I was wearing a long skirt with
a slit up the back and in my efforts to catch him, the slit
tore all the way up the back, leaving my bare assets showing!
Much to my surprise, when I turned around, many of my teachers
and a lot of students were laughing hysterically. When they
heard the argument, they all turned to look our way. Little
did they know what a show they were going to get.

PAJAMAS
Walmart was opening a store called Asda near me. On the
opening day, I was one of the first in line up alongside my
girlfriend. A guy approached us and asked if we'd like to
have our photo taken with the owner for the newspapers. At
that moment my girlfriend looked down and realized that I
was wearing a sweater on top and my ratty old pajamas on the
bottom! We woke up very early that morning and I completely
forgot to put on pants! There were at least 300 people in
line with us, which made the whole incident all the more
embarrassing. I was redder than a tomato.

DRAMATIC ENTRY
My new business partner and I were on the road, showing and
selling hotels and motels to prospective buyers. At the time,
we were staying at one of the highest caliber hotels in
Calgary, Alberta. I went back to the lobby to return a paged
call and planned to meet my partner in the lounge afterwards.
As I entered the lounge, my heel caught in a metal joiner in
the carpet and I started on a journey that I feared would
never stop. I went nose-diving through the entryway, through
a crowded cocktail lounge, right to my partner's table -- at
breakneck speed. I somehow landed on the chair across from him.
Everyone in the lounge clapped and cat called and I felt like
crawling under my chair! My business partner (now my husband)
never lets me forget my dramatic entry!

FACE FIRST
Back in the 60's, going off to school on the bus was fairly
normal for a kid in junior high school. Not this cold morning,
though. As I was getting on the bus, I stumbled up the steps
and landed face first ... into the bus driver's lap! He was
a cute, young guy and I was mortified! I got a little nick on
my ankle that started to bleed (the scar's still there), but
that was the least of my worries!

CAKE SHOWER
I can still recall the horrible scene to this day. I was at
my aunt's baby shower and a whole bunch of hot guys (who
just so happened to be friends of the family) were there. Of
course I acted very cool and tried to impress them with some
of my weirder talents. When it was time to say a prayer and
have dinner we all gathered around the table. Something in
the prayer struck me as being very funny and so I laughed to
myself, trying to control the volume of my laughter. I received
a few stern stares, which put a very abrupt end to my silliness.
When the prayer was finished everyone sat down. I tried to plop
myself down on my chair but missed it completely and fell back-
wards. Trying to stop myself from falling, I grabbed the nearest
thing: the table cloth on the cake table stand. I pulled the
cake right off the table and it landed all over me! Everyone was
laughing but I was crying! I ran out and to this day I still
don't like baby showers.

TWIRLY GIRL
During my freshman year of high school, I was flirting with
a really cute guy in my first period class. I have really
long hair and I started to twirl it around my finger and
laugh at every word he said. I must have twirled a little
too hard as I laughed at one of his jokes, because I fell
right out of my seat! Everybody in class turned around to
see what had happened and the teacher asked if there was
something wrong with me. The only thing wrong at that point
was a very bad case of embarrassment!

SHOCK ROCK
I live in a rural area with just a few houses in the neighborhood
and because I'm so busy, I have not had the chance to meet any of
the new people in the area. I drive a convertible and usually play
the stereo loud. One day as I was heading to work, I pulled up to
the stop sign at the corner and as I down-shifted, I accidentally
hit the eject button on the CD player. The CD popped out and without
thinking, I pushed it back in. The volume was turned way up from the
day before, but I wasn't aware of it because I had not yet turned on
the stereo that day. As I pulled away from the stop sign and turned
the corner, I saw three young boys standing by their mailbox. Just
as I started to pass them, the CD started playing. The very first
sound on the CD was a person shouting "Remix", which really startled
me. I screamed loudly and swerved onto the shoulder of the road.
Since I had the top down the boys heard me loud and clear and were
looking at me like I was completely crazy. I was so embarrassed that
my face was red for 10 miles.

DRAMATIC DEPARTURE
I was 19 years old when my friend met this rich nerd and began
to date him. I met him a couple times before he decided to ask
me to go on a blind date with one of his friends. I didn't want
to be rude but I just knew that his friend would be a nerd, too.
My friend begged me in private until I finally agreed. When the
day of the double date arrived, I was very surprised to see a
very fine man at my door. We all had a great time -- dinner and
drinks. My date had a bit too much to drink, so we had to drop
him off at him home first. (I was the designated driver.) I had
to use the restroom, so I went in his apartment with him and he
showed me to the bathroom. When I came out he kissed me on the
cheek, much to my delight. Just then his phone rang and as he
walked to the other side of the room, I decided to just let myself
out. (My friend and her boyfriend were still waiting in the car.)
I opened the door and backed out as I gave him one last sexy
glance and a wave. Before I knew it, hangers were banging me in
the head and I realized that I'd walked into the coat closet. I
never spoke with him again.

THE NEXT MARILYN
I went to the mall one day to meet a friend of mine. She was a
little late so I walked around a bit, although I did not know
this mall very well. I was wearing a dress and without realizing
what I'd done, I walked right over on air vent. My dress blew
up over my head and everyone saw my skimpy thong underwear. I
never did meet my friend that day and I haven't been back to
that mall since.

NUDE BEACH
I had heard of a legendary nude beach somewhere in New Jersey.
After an exhaustive internet search, I finally pinpointed the
place and decided to visit it on my birthday. What better way
to spend my birthday than in my birthday suit? When my friends
and I hit the beach that day, I was (as predicted) the first to
shed my clothing. It was very interesting to see people playing
volleyball, walking, body surfing, swimming, and frolicking
around sans clothing! For those of you otherwise inhibited souls,
I can't begin to express how liberating it is to walk around in
the buff in public without having the troublesome burden of
having to cover up parts of one's anatomy.
One thing that I found disappointing was the very small size of
the beach. I went for a stroll up the beach and after about five
minutes I got the feeling that something was different in this
section, though I couldn't figure out what it was. It seemed that
everyone was looking at me and I frantically tried to figure out
why. Was it because I had such obvious tan lines, whereas the
nude beach regulars were brown all over? Then it occurred to me:
No one was nude here! My face was suddenly as bright red as my
sunburned shoulders as I stood there wagging in the breeze. Hastily
retreating, I couldn't understand how this could have happened. I
happened to look at a sign that I had nonchalantly blown off just
minutes earlier. It was facing the direction in which I was now
walking and read: "Now entering clothing restricted beach." If you
ask me, they should also have one facing the other direction that
reads something like: "Now entering nudity restricted beach"!

100 METER DASH
My friend and I were playing truth or dare and I dared her to run
down past my neighbors' driveway topless. The neighbors weren't
home and neither were my parents, so I didn't think that it was
*that* big of a deal. She went through with the dare and as she
was coming back, a car pulled into my driveway. Startled she threw
her hands up in the air, exposing herself completely, and dashed
back to the house. To make matters worse for her, it was my dad
in the car. My poor friend was so embarrassed. But my dad, who was
our track coach, wasn't about to let her off without her fair amount
of teasing. He said, "Wow, if you could run that fast with clothes
on, you'd win the 100 meter dash by miles!" She still can't look
him in the eye!

RED LIGHT
I was out riding around one day, going to the store. The day
was going fine until I came to a stop light. Because I had
only recently started driving, I happened to forget some of
the stop light rules. There was a blinking red light and so
I stopped, waiting for the light to turn. I waited there for
at least a half an hour for the light to turn green. Cars
passed by me, honking their horns, but I couldn't figure out
why. Then it hit me and I felt so very foolish.
