AIBU to shrivel up and die of embarrassment?

This thread (apart from that one that obviously never happened) has reminded me of so many moments. I once won a mobile phone in a competition for most embarrassing moments - but I fear if I post the juiciest here because it will end up on a Youtube Channel or the Daily Mail 👀

Hope this has helped OP, you are definitely not alone :)

Yes, this might well take the prize 😅

This has reminded me of my most recent embarrassing moment. Went to the toilets in the local Wetherspoons after having consumed a few wines. There was a man in the toilets and I said indignantly and rather loudly, ‘No men allowed in the women’s toilets!’ Everyone in the bathroom turned on me and started shouting angrily at me and I ran out of the toilets in fear of my life. For it wasn’t a man at all, it was a gay woman with short cropped hair.

We have a winner

So funny. I can see why your were mortified though but plumber would have found it funny. Thanks for posting

So sorry for laughing 😆But this reminded me of the time my then 4 year old daughter had been doing my hair and make up, and I forgot and answered the door to the postman like that, he must have thought I was Mrs Haversham 😋

I rang Bosch because my washing machine wasn’t starting. Kept flashing up a strange symbol. I had tried pressing the 2 buttons together nothing worked and I couldn’t find the manual. I described the symbol to her thank fuck I was speaking to a woman.

It went like this Bosch lady erm your drawer isn’t closed properly. 😂😂😂Me oh my god I feel like a right idiot. Me closes drawer but it’s still not going. Bosch lady yeah now press the 2 buttons.🙈💩

I am mid 50's, reasonably intelligent and have had 3 children of my own and until I read your post it had never occurred to me cats have belly buttons. I'm off to wake our mog for a look now!!

Used to work for a plumbers long ago, when anyone called about a leak around their bath the first thing I'd check was that their shower curtain wasn't outside the bath when the shower was on, as that happened to two customers who then had to pay a call out fee 😋

I love this!
I went to see my gp last week. I left on a high,because he was lovely to me. Genuinely felt that he thought I was a delightful patient, he was unusually smiley.
It wasn't until I got home, and looked in the mirror I realised why he had been so happy. I put concealer on and didn't get around to blending before DS kicked off and we had to leave...obviously my half done make up slipped my mind.
I looked like I'd had my face painted like a lion for the appointment.

Don't feel bad, I once did the same except the PC was plugged in to one of those extension leads with a switch. I'd switched it off with my foot without noticing and couldn't work out why my computer suddenly went off 😂

I thought my phone was broken, 30 minutes of frustration, I couldn't swipe or do anything on it...turns out having a plaster on your finger prevents you from swiping 😵‍💫

All most amusing, but what if it really does start leaking again?

You’ll need to call a different plumber! 😀

We parked our car in the multi-storey carpark of the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas, commenting that we were on the top level and opposite the lift. Next day we were panic stricken not to be able to find it, after an hour of wandering about we went back down to have a think, wondering how much the hire company would charge. Eventually we went back up and were amazed to see it where we'd left it, later we realised that not all the lifts go to all the floors nor to the same part of the carpark.

My friends got me over late at night because she could smell burning that was coming and going in her downstairs… I went over and sure enough strong smell of burning in certain areas.. but it was coming and going. We were sniffing plug sockets.. light switches and light fixtures. Almost called the fire department when her brand new dog dropped his new bone on my lap and picked it up. THAT WAS THE SMELL! He’d been playing with it and moving it around. We laughed for ages now that would have been embarrassing if we would have wasted time!!

😂😂🤣That really did make me laugh out loud!

One very bad winter I called the AA told them my car had a fault and I couldn't drive it. The patrol man called me back as they were extremely busy and prioritising and asked me to describe the problem and I did and he said it was my ABS. I told him I had been driving over 30 years and I knew what ABS was and this was something serious.

He came out got in my car drove it and braked, there you are I said smugly ..... Yes he said its your ABS working in the snow

I had a handyman dismantle my washing machine and fix a problem with it. It was working fine and I was really pleased, then started noticing wet patches to the side of machine and thought it was leaking.

He came back to check, couldn’t find anything wrong and then I realised it was actually cats pee.

Which is why it was randomly appearing as they kept doing it in this one spot.

Luckily I know him quite well and I think we were both relieved it wasn’t the machine 🤣

My friend was over at our house a few weeks ago and became ill in the evening. We called 111 and they said a paramedic would be with us within next 12 hours.
That meant she had to stay overnight so we left all doors to rooms open so we could listen for them arriving which our dog found very exciting.

Anyway about 2am ddog started barking at the front door so I ran down in my nightie and flung the door open.There was a man standing there so I said “I’m glad you’ve arrived we’ve been waiting for you, come on in”. He looked a bit shocked and handed me a bottle of milk!

He was the milkman not paramedic 🤣🙈

Oh god, I just remembered our hamster one! Don't know how i could forget it. We took our hamster to the vet year ago as I was convinced it had some sort of tumour. "Those are his testicles. They can look surprisingly large in something so small." I couldn't believe I ihad to pay to be embarrassed like that.

One of my tenants did this, called out emergency repairs as pipes were vibrating so badly, she went to the houses on either side to tell them to evacuate in case her house blew up so when workmen arrives the neighbours were all standing outside…..
twenty minutes later, workman came out holding a large dildo which had been leaning on a pipe…..
she moved very shortly after

I recently just avoided a cringe moment. My 17 year old car had been in to have a sensor replaced on the ABS system, a couple of days later I became aware of a clonking noise when I pulled away in first then second gear and after a few worrying days I decided to take it in after I'd been to Lidl. Feeling in the open cigarette lighter compartment, it's that old(!), for a £1 coin for the trolley I wondered what the heavy piece of metal was, turned out it was the locking wheel nut from when the work had been done and it hadn't been put back in the boot with the spare wheel kit! It made exactly the right noise and my gear stick wasn't in danger of coming off in my hand.

In our student flat in the 90s we called the gas man out for our gas oven. He asked what the issue was. i told him that that even if I selected a low gas mark on the dial, there was a really big flame inside as if it was set to High and ignoring the setting on the dial. Nearly died of embarrassment when he said "Well, the flame will be big until it gets to the temperature you've set, and then it will reduce to a smaller flame to maintain the temperature."

"Ohhhh!" 😬

That's really funny! 🤣 🤣

I had just broken up with my long term boyfriend and I'd arranged for a man with a van to bring the rest of my possessions to my new home. I'd carefully packaged and sealed everything into boxes but after everything had been unloaded into my living room I realised two things:

1. That there was a very weird knocking & whirring noise coming from one of the boxes, and
2. Said box had been opened (presumably by the driver)

It turns out my dildo vibrator (yes my friends), had switched itself on sometime during the journey/loading process and was on its wildest, spiciest setting, going round and round making the most awful racket. Driver must have stopped and opened the box to see what it was, and then carried on without switching it off. I can think of no other explanation. Thankfully he didn't say anything. The horror.
