Just made a massive fool of myself

[pyjamas89]

Walked out to the carpark with a colleague as Ieft the office this evening. Approaching my car noticed some bad damage to one side where someone has presumably driven into it. I was having a rant and my colleague was making the right kind of sympathetic noises. My colleague headed off and I then found I couldn't open my car door... Because it wasn't my car!

I'm switching between my cheeks burning to thinking it's hilarious to being delighted I won't have to pay to have it mended! Please come and make me feel less silly by regaling me with tales of your moments of making a fool of yourself?!

Many moons ago I went to the chippy to collect an order, my then Boyf drove us in his extremely old, light blue fiat panda.
I ran in, collected the order and jumped back in the car. Put on my seat belt, chatting away as I did, and turned round to see that the driver was in fact a very old man and not my bf 🤣.. my bf was sat in the car immediately in front p*ssing himself!

In my defence it was the same, very old and uncommon for the time model of car - in the same colour.
What’s worse is as I got out, having apologised for my obvious mistake, the man leaned across and pushed down the lock button, clearly he didn’t see the funny side 😬

Pyjamas89 Remember a similar incident about 15 years ago were my bank had wrongly charged me or frozen my card or done something wrong, I can't remember what it was but it was enough to make me storm into a branch and rant when i in a strange town at a managers training course and stopping a couple of days anad couldn't access my account (days before internet banking). I was livid and stood seething as I queued getting more and more worked up (thinking a bad couple of days and this was the straw that broke the camel's back)
Then the poor young bloke clearly in his first managerial position couldn't get a word in edge ways as I ranted to the end... He jumped in with his chance as I paused to draw breath and said "Madam, please can I stop you.... this isn't Xxxx bank, we are Yyyy bank, you're looking for the bank next door.....," the two banks had doors next to each other with the sign hanging like An a old pub sign in between the two and I picked the wrong door and in my temper not realised the bank decor was nothing like my banks..... I ended up bursting out laughing at the absurdity of it and was still laughing going into the correct bank ...

When I was 18 I went to my first interview for a house share - I was absolutely bricking it and wore my favourite new tight fitting shirt. I'd put some weight on and had a bit of trouble doing up the poppers (not buttons) over my boobs but managed it eventually.

Anyway I have the whole 'interview' with this bloke who shows me the amazing house and I think we get on really well. As I'm about to leave I raise my arm up to shake his hand, and literally every popper from the belly button up BURSTS apart. I am left exposing my entire push up bra. It was like something out of a porno.

Horrific and it still keeps me awake at night sometimes.

I'm 32 now.

@Pawsandnoses Thank you. I did wonder , as there seems to be a lot of 'accidentally getting into the wrong fiesta' posts on here!

@Tessabelle74 You've just reminded me of ds2 when he was small....
Staying with family on the coast. Ds2 and I went shopping. He started to get fractious on the way so I stopped to buy him a flag with a wooden handle.
A few minutes later I needed cash so stopped at a pair of cash machines. Left ds2 behind me and started tapping away. I became aware of a man next to me at the other machine. He suddenly stopped midtap. His hand frozen over the keypad... I finished and turned round. To my horror ds2 had slipped out of his reins and was poking the poor guy with his flagpole!! I made my excuses and we fled!

These stories are brilliant! One day myself and my ex were having a small bbq. His reaaalllyy fit mate came round and I took the opportunity to txt my mate ‘come to mine pronto fellas really fit mates here’ only I hadn’t sent it to her I sent it to my fella. I realised straight away and then his phone pinged. He looked at the message, pissed himself and then showed it to said fit mate. Mortified.

Had an argument with my boyfriend at the time in a pub we had never been to before. It was lunch time and we weren’t drinking so can’t even blame alcohol, it wasn’t a shouting match or anything but a very serious, albeit quiet row was going on.

We paid and I stormed off to make a dramatic point of how angry I was but instead of opening the door to the exit I walked straight into the men’s toilets. Boyfriend was walking behind me and luckily urinals empty but oh my, the shame of opening the door to see my boyfriend stood there looking confused!

I got to the car and so wanted to burst into a fit of giggles but I was far too stubborn so held it in and just replayed it over and over feeling like an idiot!

Reminds me of this:

Funniest stories, laughed out loud! Reminds me of the time my friend's car wouldn't start, a random stranger jumped into the driver's seat whilst she pushed her car, her purse in handbag on the front seat, splitting her blue Spandex trousers on the way to a Bay City Roller's concert.

I did the same the other day. Leaving the shops with 2 year old, walk to car, notice there is mud splattered all over the front, thought it was strange and was trying to figure out where I had been driving where this could have happened. Try to open the door but couldn't, think thats strange I never lock the door! Had to look at the registration. Turns out it was a different car. On closer inspection, it wasn't even the same model!

When I was 13 I walked over to my dad on holiday and held his hand (we all hold hands still idk) and it was not my dad, it was a Frenchman and he looks confused and then horrifjed and then looked around while backing away like people would think he was a perv.

Poor bastarde.

@TheBigFatMermaid we were both standing and it was an unfortunate incident involving me not seeing his hand was already holding onto the pole to steady himself

You've all had me in stitches, thanks for sharing your cringeworthy moments

@Beachcomber I'm not sure why but even having read it several times your story still has me in fits of giggles!

My DM more than once has got into the wrong car when she has come out of the local shop my DD just laughs now ,then me just after having my youngest ds I was in one of the shops in the village we lived in with my dm I nipped back outside to get a trolley went in and saw my mum looking at veg I ran up to her gave her a big squeeze from behind shouting mum for my dm to turn round it wasnt her just a woman with the same coat my dm was stood at the end of the aisle laughing at me

Went to an interview for a maternity cover contract. The lady who came to get me for the interview had a rather large pot belly. I said 'I presume the cover is for you'. She replied :'No'. Felt like turning round and walking out there and then! 😱

Oh I’ve tried to get into a car that wasn’t mine before!

At an old job the offices were in a big building and downstairs there was a cafe and shop etc. Making my way down to the cafe one day and was replying to a message on my phone. Went to walk through what I thought was the door and instead face planted a massive glass window.

Everyone in the cafe was sitting staring at me. Everyone outside the cafe in the foyer was looking at me. I decided I wasn’t hungry that day and made a quick exit outside the building to compose myself

I was coming out of school with the kids and a wee boy went to run out onto the road behind a car. I shouted at him to stop and then his mum appeared and I apologised and said 'sorry it's just I was worried because some idiots parked right there blocking the road'

The mum got in the parked car. That was 6 years ago and I still avoid her?

I got in the wrong car outside the station on my home from work once (that was a fiesta too )
Dh would pick me up from the same spot pretty much every day, so that day I walked out to the road, saw the car, opened the door and got in, flinging my bag into the foot well. Turnjng away from the driver to grab the seat belt I said the usual "hi, had a good day?" kind of greeting.

Nearly nutted the roof of the car jumping out of my skin when a slightly terrified sounding female voice said back "well I have actually but who are you?!"

I work as a GP's receptionist. One day a man came to the desk and said 'I don't have an appointment, but I wonder if the doctor could take a quick look at my nose?' His nose was long and thin, with a bulbous purple end. I sympathetically replied 'oh dear, that does look nasty'. He looked blankly at me for a second and said 'my NOTES'. It was about a chest x-ray, It was his normal nose. I actually heard myself whimper….

I know someone who got into somebody else's car and attempted to start it but the key wouldn't fit the ignition, funnily enough.

Mortified and decided not to tell anyone, but realised when nipping into the corner shop on the way home with the DC that she'd left her handbag in the strange car, so had to go back and steal a handbag out of someone's car! DC told everyone. So don't feel bad, OP.

Rural Ireland in the 80s or 90s if anyone's wondering where this unlocked car haven is.

My dad park up in the petrol garage, went in and got what he wanted and came out, he then got into the car and was about to ask my mum something, only to realise it wasn't my mum. Hed got into the wrong car 😂

My sister walked into KFC and up to the counter before realising it was closed for refurbishment 😂

Too many to relate! Seriously though, I love reading posts like yours because it makes me feel so much better about myself! So glad you had a happy ending!

@pyjamas89
