What’s your most embarrassing moment?

[cheesysitwots]

Trying to get over an incredibly embarrassing situation and need to know it’s not just me.

what's your most embarrassing moment?

I fell and slid on my knees down a flight of concrete steps during a tour of a facility halfway through an interview process. Obviously I pretended I was fine and laughed off the torn tights and bleeding knee. Excruciatingly embarrassing, why didn't I ask if I could go and catch my breath and clean myself up?!

Somehow locked myself in the front toilet on an easyJet flight and had to sit on the loo whilst it landed but it was bumpy and my head hit the door and when they finally opened it I had toilet roll up both nostrils sticking out but didn't realise until I looked in the mirror in main building and screamed

Oh no! Did you get the job?

It was for a university place, and I did get an offer after but went somewhere else. For obvious reasons 😄

You really wouldn't believe me if I told you 😂

Newly started in job, early 20s. Taking the note in a meeting of the great and the good. Meeting was about Israel. At the end of the meeting, one of the senior men commented that we didn’t have many Jewish people in our organisation. Another one mentioned a colleague of mine that I’d got a bit frisky with. “Oh he’s not Jewish,” I chirped up. “How do you know that?” asked one of the men. Instead of saying I knew the family, and despite the very Jewish name, they were Catholic, I said “Because he’s not circumcised.” There was silence and then one of the men coughed and said he didn’t think we had anything else to discuss, so “on that note” he was ending the meeting. Because they were so senior, there was no gossip, but I couldn’t look at any of the men again without going bright red.

Many years ago, when I was much younger, there was a leaving do at work. I have a slightly unusual surname and there was a group discussing this and how not many people have it. I don’t know what I was thinking, but instead of saying something normal, I said there wasn’t many people with my name because of all the inbreeding 🤣. Said this to a group of older, very staid civil servant men who’d come to say goodbye to a friend. They scarpered.

Can you divulge what happened?

Put my bike on the train home from work as it was throwing it down. Was in full Lycra. Old fella next to me asked lots of questions about cycling - racing, commuting, types of bikes etc. as I headed down the train aisle to the bike rack he shouted out “well all that cycling’s given you a really beautiful bottom!”.

Readers, people stood up to look, peered out of the window, the guard even got off the train to have a gander. Cringed all the way home from the station.

There have been many but one I remember well was in Tokyo over 25 years ago. I was in my 2nd year there teaching English but had just started doing business English courses. First day, small class of around 5 young men. We did quick introductions and I stood up to close the door. As I stood up, somehow my wedge sandal got caught on my chair leg and I fell flat on my face. In front of them all, and we had barely said hello. Mortifying. I was mid 20s and probably the same age as the students!

My university choir was in a concert in a church while on a tour of Eastern Europe. The concert started with just the orchestra and I desperately needed the loo but I couldn't see one anywhere, we were seated behind the orchestra in full view of audience. I held on as I assumed there'd be an interval between the orchestra and our (hour long) piece for me to go and find one, as this was an ancient cathedral and probably didn't have any loos. There wasn't an interval.

No, I didn't have an accident in front of everyone in the end, but the girls either side of me knew I was desperate and I must have been shaking and bright red by the end of it when I rushed out and found a loo somewhere next door.

I thought it was all forgotten and then a few months later one of the girls said 'One thing I remember about that tour was you being really desperate for the loo during the Mozart Requiem.' 😳

But yes, could have been a lot worse I suppose!

HOLY SHIT 🤣🤣🤣

I think I posted this a couple of years back so apologies if anyone recognises it. Nearly 50 years on I still cringe when I think about it,even though i wasnt remotely embarrassed at the time 😵‍💫
I was 17, working in a supermarket. Christmas eve and someone sneaked in some Cinzano so we were having a sneak y swig between customers. We had a recently new store manager, late 20s, brooding good looks, a 70s style Bert Reynolds moustache . When we closed he gathered us round to thank everyone for our hard work and to have a nice Christmas.
In my tipsy state I flung my arms around him and full on snogged him, tongues and all.
The poor guy didnt know where to put himself. With the passage of time I had forgotten about it but a couple of years back it suddenly popped back into my head and stuck there. I cringe with horror and shame at what I did and how the hell i actually thiught it was a good idea !! 🥹🥹

It’s the pervy old man and the gawpers that should be embarrassed, not you.

I once took what I thought was a normal pain killer for a headache before a coach trip to London. On said coach trip I started to feel very unwell and projectile vomitted. It went through the gap in the seats in front and onto a ladies coat. Both gross and very very embarrassing. The pain killers turned out to be very strong ones for my friends broken wrist!

Accidentally farting when standing talking to the parents of an ex in their living room.

Editing to add that I did the same but sitting on the grass outside the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I styled it out and was wearing sunglasses so my eyes didn't give the game away. I thought it was going to be a tiny one...

This can't possibly be real....can it??

Mine is probably from when I was 18 y/o. Got completely off my trolley on a night out with uni mates. On the bus home was desperate for a wee but the driver wouldn't stop (semi rural so a long way between stops). We were sat at the back so I tried to go in a water bottle. Missed most of it and wee'd all over my hand and the floor then watched in horror as it flowed down the aisle of the bus towards the driver. Other passengers turned around and stared/glared.

Thankfully we did come to a stop and we ran off and called a taxi to get the rest of the way home (which my friend vomited in).
