ok. earlier tonight i was reading a really old thread about how your kids have managed to embarrass you when small. totally was pissing myself laughing at most of them. so as not to create a zombie i thought i would reserect it for 2021 especially as we all need to have a laugh. also maybe adult stories too? where you have done something really stupid that made you cringe at the time but now just burst into laughter thinking about it. have 2 stories. first when i was about 5 or 6 we had a close friend who's eldest dd was very overweight. this was at the time that noel edmonds house party was the most watched tv show. once having a nice day out at the seaside i suddenly in the loudest possible voice shouted "mummy emma is mrs blobby isn't she?". my mum is doing her best thomas the tank impression shshshshshshs. but i kept saying it. the earth could have swallowed her up. second as an adult. went out with a few friends for drinks. got up in the middle of the night to use the loo not really thinking where i was. i started to climb into my friend's bed. sudden shreek and me all red faced. so what are yours?

I ran away with someone else’s trolley in the supermarket, I didn’t realise until a voice behind me said “ I think you’ve got my trolley” and offered to get me another one. Thank goodness for face masks.

Was having a great conversation with my 'brother' in the street then realised it wasn't him. My real brother was further down the street and there was a woman (wife/partner) glaring daggers at me!!!

Also got in a strangers car! They were sitting in it. Looked nothing like my friend... or her car!

Last week when I went for my covid vaccine (I was really anxious as suffer from agoraphobia and it was the first time I had left the house in a long time).
I thought I was doing well. Went through the paperwork fine.
Then when I got to the nurse my anxiety was crazy. He held out his hand and I stupidly went to shake it (momentarily forgetting we were in covid times!). He was obviously putting his hand out to receive my paperwork!!
Thankfully he was really nice about it!

Years ago , I had a Saturday job at the local supermarket, it was next to the bus station .
One day a man rushed up to my till with a few items in an obvious hurry . It made me feel a bit panicky as I assumed his bus was in and he was rushing to catch it. I quickly put his shopping through and hurried to give him his change, it kinda started to fall through my hands so I went to grab it but grabbed his balls instead !

@Awalkinthefreshair I've done that too and I still cringe remembering it. I was a student teacher observing a lesson and at the end of the class the teacher walked over and held out his hand which I promptly shook.....he said "I was just wanting you to pass the textbook" whilst I still had hold of his hand Blush

brilliant grabbing a guy's orchestras instead of the change. as for the shaking hands thing in covid times must confess that last year when restrictions eased for hospitality i often put my hand out to shake hands with someone at a pub whom i just started talking to. quite often they took it whilst i then suddenly remembered we were being told not to do it. think because it's something so ingrained into us that shaking hands is a nice greeting we just do it totally instinctive without thinking aboutit.

I smelled a strangers hair in the supermarket just last week. I was with my teen daughter who was wearing a white hoody. She must have moved away and was replaced by said women also wearing a white hoody. Both dark blond pony tails so I sniffed her pony tail, it smelled lovely and I was going to ask what shampoo DD had used. The horror in the women’s face said it all. Dd just looked at me with a WTF face and walked away.

I was in the supermarket the other day with my partner but not walking round with him
Anyway I saw him walking towards me and for a laugh I grabbed his sleeve,stroked it and said ‘by hell lover,our shag earlier was just bloody fantastic’
Only it wasn’t him
The bloke who’s sleeve I did grab was very unimpressed and walked away while giving me dirty looks
Of course my fella found it funny and every corner we turned there was unimpressed guy

I hugged a man in the supermarket thinking it was my dh, it wasn’t, the guy was ok with it but his wife wasn’t impressed!

On the bus with my toddler who was going through a stage where she wouldn't accept help or hold hands. Went to get off and told toddler to stay put till bus stopped. I walked to front of bus, bus stopped and I heard her footsteps behind me. Reached back to grab her hand to jump the big step off and grabbed a young mans willy.

He was wearing loose joggers

I was only about 8 but these supermarket ones have bought this back to the forefront of my mind - thanks.

Shopping in Asda around Christmas time so looking at boxes of chocolates, crackers etc the usual over indulgent Christmas stuff, and we came across a trolley on an aisle. I was with my dad and older brother. My dad turned to me and said 'DriftGames, go have a look through that clearance trolley and see if there's anything nice' - I did. Picked out some chocolates and nice fancy biscuits. Then the trolleys owner returned and asked me why I was stealing her shopping SmileSmileSmileSmile

I was waiting for a plumber to turn up and noticed I had a few missed calls from him and then a text, to say he would be a bit late. I replied to say "no worries, sorry I didn't answer your calls, my phone was in my vag and I couldn't hear it"..... obvs I meant 'bag' but auto correct had kindly changed it 😱😱😱
