I dont blush or get red to often but this one sure made me! I was in a series of meetings. After one meeting I went to a co workers office and was sitting in one of two chairs across from where he was sitting at his desk. A drop dead beauty lookin girl that was at this meeting came into his office after a few minutes and was standing there talking to us. I was not much paying attention to what she was saying, instead admiring her beauty and "attributes" wink wink.......... I had to stop myself a few times from drifting off to fantasy state! hehe Anyways......... she stops talking and stares at me! Being the gentleman that I am I offer her the empty chair directly beside me! However I must have been tongue tied by her beauty, as I look up at her and say " Go down" !!!!!!!! I meant to say or wanted to say have a seat or sit done, something along those lines but O no, being the bonehead that I am I had to say "go down"! Where the ------- did that come from I immediatly thought as the words slipped by my lips! After the shock drifted away from us all we ended up having a pretty good chuckle over that one!
hehe

A couple years ago I called one of the local HVAC supplier and asked for a specific part. The old guy had problems looking up the part I needed. He finally told me he "was" going to put me on hold and get a different parts book. When I thought I was on hold, I made a comment to the boss about how stupid and slow he was. Needless to say, he snapped at me to "Hang on a minute" and then rudely put me on hold. He didn't talk to me very much after that. :D

I work in a restuant and we all get along pretty good! This one day I get there for my shift and walk into our change room. 2 of my other cook friends, Nathen and Vince are already there at a table and they are just sitting there listening to a stereo that's playing in between them...

As i'm walking by I listen in too and it's some guy playing a guitar and singing... it wasn't bad, but it was off key a bit, etc. I listen in for a bit more, stop and joke, "Oh gawd that's some awful music you guys are listening too. Sounds like a dam frog in that poor guys throat!"

Well Nathen gets this horified look in his face after I said that, Vince just shoots daggers in his eyes at me.. I didn't understand it till later when Nathen told me that he and his girlfriend just moved in together. When Vince heard, he decided to do something nice since Nathen and his girl had always been good friends and treated him good. So Vince wrote and sung a song in a studio and gave the recording to Nathen as a gift, which was the song playing when I walked in and bagged on it... I was completely embarassed and felt like ass... Vince hasn't really liked me much since.. :(

Not so much embarassing as it is just kinda funny....probably more so if you were there. My friend was over and I was getting such horrible connection I decided to call comcast. Well while they were connecting me to tier2 support I just thought it be funny and acted like somebody was on the other line so I made the comment, "yeah, I have a friend here and he has a small penis. Can you help him?" just jokin' around right? Well, I heard silence like I had been hearing cause I thought I was on hold or being connected but then out of nowhere kinda faintly, I hear this guy crackin' his ass up in the backround.

I just hung up and started laughin' and my friend was like, WTF? :confused:

I was working in a very big Bowling Center I was the head Mechinic and in charge of general maintenance. It was early in the morning before the place was open all though there was a side door that was unlocked so employees could get in.

We were going to have the terasso floors in the bathrooms resurfaced and I was taking bids from contractors. I was showing one of the contractors the bathrooms. When we walked into the bathroom the smell was unbeleivable. I started saying things like "God what died in here" and calling the guys who worked the night before all kinds of names for leaving me a plugged toilet full of s**t. I started checking all the stall trying to find the plugged toilet. When I got to the last one which happened to be the handicapped stall the door was locked which was common practice if the toilet was plugged. I laid down on the floor and slid under the stall door. There to my supprise was not a plugged toilet but a little old decrepped man sitting on the toilet taking a dump. I pushed myself back out a lot faster than I went n and told the contractor that we should check the other bathrooms and made a fast retreat.

Not making this up:

It was the last day of band camp (yes, I really was at bandcamp and yes it did horrible damage to me) and we were having the big band camp final concert. ( I played the trumpet, very badly) And the conductor would announce each students name and they would come up for a bow as we left the stage so ma's and pa's could take a picture. Well, my name is called and I walk up and smile and hold my trumpet over my head as if to say "Look at me and my trumpet, am I not the biggest geek you have ever seen?". I look down at my mom and dad so they can get a good picture of me and both of them are kind of looking at the ground like "holy crap that's not our kid". I was a little pissed at that and as I turned and started walking off the stage I noticed a low laughter in the crowd I hadn't noticed before.

Well, I think they must be laughing at my holding up the trumpet and convince myself of how cool I was and head to my room to grab my bag. I was about halfway to my room when I noticed the breeze, yes, I had relieved myself shortly before going onstage to play the concert and had stood up in front of all those people and raised my hand over head, giving them all a view of my open fly and my nice tighty whiteies. It was then I understood why ma and pa had their heads down in shame. We ignored it on the ride home and it was several years before a comment was made and we were all able to joke about it. My mom mentioned how glad she was that she had forgotten her camera.

Those were the days, young, dumb and goofy, oh wait, I'm still two of the three, not out of the woods yet.

I'm really bad at names and faces and I'm constantly running into people who start talking to me and I have to play along, lest I hurt their feelings. It's nothing personal, I forget nearly everyone.

To diminish this lameness, I developed a line for girls if they ask if I remember who they are: "I'm pretty sure that we haven't slept together." This usually gets a laugh and life goes on.

Well, I was at a concert and this girl is looking at me (most of you already can see the train coming, can't you?) and we start chatting. I'm don't recognize her, but that means nothing. Eventually she asks the question and I give the stock answer and...

...that's right. Oh, man... :o

Hey! It was dark, it had been about five years and she looked a lot different (different hair style and she'd lost weight) and I hadn't seen her since that night, cuz, well...my girlfriend had staked out my house that night and when I showed up late, she had demanded to know where I was. "Uh, well...OW!!! Stop hitting me and screaming or the neighbors will call the cops!"

Needless to say, the relationship had some problems after that. She got me back - she f*cked some other guy, broke my heart and then rushed to marry the first guy she dated after we broke up. I met my current g/f of 9 years and life went on.

Epilogue: The ex called me about 2-3 years ago, "just to chat". Apparantly she wanted to call six months earlier when she discovered her husband was having an affair with a chick he met online. I guess I was supposed to provide the grudgef*ck action or something. Haven't heard from her since.

Tried to call the other girl a few times, but she never seemed to interested. You think it's because I forgot her? Jeez, women are so touchy about that sort of stuff. ;)

I don't like long stories so I will try to keep this one short.

I was 18, I was messing around with a girl who was staying with her grandmother for the summer. Her grandmother and my grandmother were friends, thats how we met. They lived down the street from one another. On with the story. So one night I was drunk and walked over to her grandmothers house and went to the window she was staying at, knocked on it and we talked for a litte while. Well I convineced her to go swimmng with me. This seemed like a good idea at the time. She said she would be a few minutes and to go ahead and get in and wait for her, she wanted to make sure her grandmother was asleep and sh*t. So I went around back and got into the pool, naked I might add. But as I am waiting for her to come out and go swimming with me, the cops show up. It seems the neighbors thought I was a prowler. So There I was stuck in the pool, naked, drunk, and not exactly sure what to do. SO I got in the corner of the pool and tried not to be seen, I knew if i got out they would hear me for sure. But, they saw me, and I had to get out, naked, ask them if I could get dressed, then explain what I was doing there. I couldn't tell them I was there waiting on her, because her grandmother and my grandmother didn't know we were messing around. So I told them I was drunk and just wanted to go for a swim, and that I new the owner of the house. Which to check my story out, they woke up her grandmother to ask if she knew me. Embarrassed I was. They let me go, but if that wasn't bad enough, the next day she came over to my grandmothers, where I was staying and told my grandmother about her whole side of the story, and I got laughed at by both of them and had to re-explain it all over agian.

SO there you have it, My MOST embarrassing moment.

This was not only embarrassing but also somewhat humiliating.

I was coming back from Chicago one night and was about 20 minutes from my house when I decided to stop at a Burger King and get a whopper. Did the drive-thru thing and went on my way. If you ever ate a whopper and drove you might see where this is going. I decided to stop at the local grocery store. I went in and noticed people were staring in my general direction, some laughing, some turned away in apparent disgust. I figured they were looking at the young kid in baggy jeans and purple hair that followed me in. After about 10 minutes of shopping and getting weird looks the manager came up to me and asked me to leave. I was like WTF? What’d I do? That’s when I glanced down and saw the “special sauce” from the Burger King Whopper on my shirt and crotch. I noticed several people looking our way and damn near fainted from embarrassment. It didn’t help matters that some were co-workers and friends of my parents.

Looking back on that incident, I should have taken a taste of the “special sauce” and coninued shopping. :D

LOL.. some pretty good stories here. Mine's pretty straight forward and simple.

Back in highschool I was sitting in the car with my girlfriend(of the time). We were parked in a loading dock of some business that had just gone out of business. Well a couple of cops were sitting somewhere else trying to tag someone for speeding when they saw us parked there. So they walked over to check it out and I didn't notice until one knocked on the window of the car with his flashlight(still mostly daytime out... around dusk). The embarrasing part is that i was getting my weasal greased at the time and had to get dressed REAL quick when they showed up. They asked my girlfriend if she was there willingly(like I was forcing her to do it :rolleyes: ).... needless to say quite embarrassing. Sorry, not that great.. but better than no story at all. ;)
