Public embarrassment!

[NotSoSlimShady8]

Most embarrassing public moment- I’ll go first …

Sat on a bus on the ‘side on’ seats at the front as the bus was absolutely rammed full. I
stood up to press the stop button on the pole that was opposite me, come back to sit on my seat and unbeknown to me the bloody thing was on springs and had closed back up, i just fully kept going down until I was sat on the floor with my legs in the air. I was on my own which made it worse and every man an his dog was watching as I did my best impression of a turtle on its back trying to stand up whilst the bus was moving around. No one spoke about it which made it hella awkward.

your turn ! …

@NotSoSlimShady8 sorry that made me really laugh. I have so many, honestly I shouldn't leave the house.

I have accidentally joined a funeral procession and to top it off ended up on the front page of a paper.

I went out one day with beautiful white trousers on. Went on the bus there and back. Round the shops... got home and seen my beautiful white trousers had split at the bum but on top of that, my period had started which I never noticed and I had completely leaked through.

When I was mid 20s I accidentally went to the wrong place for an interview. When they told me they weren't doing interviews and I wasn't expected, I burst into tears.

Went up to dh in a shop and felt his bum. Whispers in his ear, can't wait to get you into bed. Yip it wasn't dh.

My list is endless 😳

I once witnessed someone doing exactly this - maybe it was you! I was CRYING, it still makes me laugh now to remember it. She was sat on the floor rather than legs in the air but she couldn't get up until the bus stopped and I was trying so hard not to laugh and embarrass her but my shoulders were shaking.

karma got me back very quickly tho, like five minutes later, it was back when phones didn’t have music on them so I was listening to my iPod and didn’t realise my phone was ringing so that embarrassed me.

@Noglassjustthebottleandastraw Omg why do periods see white jeans as invitations ?! I swear they do. That also happened to me at a festival!

@petridishmystery wasn’t me as it was this year but I am defo happy it’s happened to someone else , and had I not have been the victim I would have been in stitches too 😂

I have accidentally joined a funeral procession

Dying to know how this happened?! (Pun intended 😁)

Aw OP, did no one help?!

Recently 15 minutes into a walk through a very busy city area I realised my skirt had ridden up to about waistband level... luckily I had dark tights on but still some folks got a horrifying view of my ass 😵 I could have died.

Also discovered at during a busy HIIT class that sit ups make me fart.

Coming back to my room from a boozy night in lanzarote, I stopped to talk to a family sitting outside their chalet. I fell face first into a large aloe vera type plant and couldn't get myself out of it.

I went out one day with beautiful white trousers on. Went on the bus there and back. Round the shops... got home and seen my beautiful white trousers had split at the bum but on top of that, my period had started which I never noticed and I had completely leaked through.

My "definitely through menopause" present to myself will be white trousers. Certainly not there yet,though.

I have done exactly this op, except to make matters worse my 2yo son was in his pram next to me. As I instinctively reached out to stop myself falling, my son got a swift slap in the face. Thankfully he was OK but we were both left red faced that day!

I was hungover on a packed bus on my way to work.
I did a burp which I thought was going to be silent and dry. It wasn't. It was very loud and accompanied by a significant quantity of foul-smelling vomit which just kind of dribbled out my mouth and down my front.

I got off the bus. I changed my route to work.

I was put in charge of a group of adults with special needs to take them to a craft place where I’d booked a tour. Off we went in the minibus. I did think the place seemed very quiet and the owner seemed a bit surprised to see us but was happy to give us a tour. I thanked him at the end, off we went for a pub lunch and got back to find a frantic manager demanding to know where I’d been. This was pre mobiles and the owner of the place we were supposed to visit had phoned, concerned when we didn’t show up. To this day I’ve no idea where we went.

Omg loving these 💗

@RagingWoke nope! No help! I was merely a comedy act on the telly. Onboard entertainment 😂

Effing brilliant

On work experience through uni (in my early 20s), working in an office. I was asked to write an email to a colleague about 'BME groups' (now known as BAME for Black and Minority Ethnic) in the local area. The colleague I was emailing just happened to be an Indian lady.

A short time later, the office door opened and in walked my supervisor and the colleague I'd just emailed. They both sat down and said they needed a word. They asked if I'd proof-read the email and I had a sneaking suspicion they were about to tell me I had not.

Both of them suddenly erupted in uncontrollable laughter. I was puzzled and embarrassed. I didn't know what I'd done wrong. My Indian colleague explained that instead of writing 'BME groups' in the email, I'd mistakenly put 'BMW groups'. I was young and didn't think a simple typo was office crime of the century until they pointed out that 'BMW' stands for 'black man's willy'. More hysterics from them both ensued whilst I pleaded for the ground to swallow me up.

I never did live that one down and learnt to proof-read before hitting send from that day onwards.

My wedding day in front of 100 guests.... oh god 🫣😳😳😳

Anyway, was super nervous and could feel a fart coming on during our vows. I was squeezing my bum so tight to hold it in.

No word of a lie, it went like this when my husband was in this middle of his vows...

"In sickness and in health" fart

He just burst out laughing and had to start again! I was mortified!

And yes we had a videographer and no he didn't edit it out cunt

A few years ago I had moved house.
I drove home from work a couple of days later, pulled up on the driveway and entered the house through the unlocked door and wondered why my neighbours were sat eating their evening meal........in their own home.

A similar style thing happened to me a few dates in with now dh. We went out to dinner. I was sat on a bench type seat along the wall. In my head it was a continuous bench that ran all the way along the wall past all the other tables. It was not. So when I slid over to go the loo I just slid right off the end and on to the floor.

Oh no! I'm surprised no one helping you. Some poor lady got face planted when she missed as step at a castle somewhere in Eastern Europe when I was inter-railing, me and my friends (also 18 yr old idiots) ran over to help her.

I took out my headphones to take a call on the train (I didn't have a mic). Put head phones back in and continued to blast ABBA. I was surrounded by men going on a stag weekend, they all started laughing and I then realised.

So so many others too that I just can't think of.

I was having a sex filled afternoon with my bf at the time. The parking ticket was going to run out on my car so I had to pop out and buy another one. As the car and ticket machine was just a few meters from the front door, I simply put on my coat and buttoned it up. As soon as I walked out a man and pre teen boy walked past, looked at me and the man said to his son “just carry on walking”. I was confused but sorted out the car, went back in and realised in the mirror that I hadn’t buttoned my coat up fully and was flashing my vajayjay.

This was 13 years ago and I’m still mortified.

This was very recent.

I was using a veet electric dermaplaner on my face. I was using the torch on my phone and holding a mirror at the same time to get a really look at what I was doing.

Some fucking how, I whatsapped a fella from work, and had recorded a voicenote of my electric dermaplaner.

It sounded like a fucking vibrator.

I didn't realise until I was sending a message to someone else, that I had sent the vibrator sound message to his personal phone and quickly deleted it.

It didn't have a blue tick, but had been delivered.

I've not mentioned it, and neither has he, but I do wonder if he heard it before I deleted it 😂

Completely flashed a group of jehovas witnesses when I bent over a fence in a little kimono to pick up my cat.

@Irishfarmer that's how you know your old apparently. If you fall over and people laugh, you're still young, if they rush to help, then you're old.

@CinderellyCinderelly I literally laughed out loud
I have a fart one. I was about 10 and my family went to have dinner with their friends. Me and my sister thought something was funny and I was still laughing and walked into the living room laughing and as I sat down on their plastic covered chair 3 large and loud farts echoed through the room it made a BRRR BRRR BRRRRRR sound. The room went silent then everyone erupted* *laughter. They still never let me live this down.

Walking through town one day (market street Manchester if you know is very busy) and went over on my ankle and fell right on the floor. I was obviously very embarrassed so I thought I’d laugh along. I turned around and started laughing as I thought the people behind me would be, to be confronted with a lot of straight faces🙈 So not only had I fallen right on my arse, I probably looked like a mad woman too!

When younger and working we were often late for things but obviously normally make sure we are on time for a funeral. the crematorium near us have two chapels facing each other.
On this particular day we were just on time but the doors were closed. We quietly opened then and were ushered to a seat at the back. So I catch my breath and have a quick look round. Qué panicked whisper to DH ...I don't know anyone. This is not the right funeral.
So instead of politely sitting it out at vthe back we jump up and make another dignified (I hope) retreat to the exit where of course the doors had been shut again.
So mad dash to other chapel where by this time we really are late, although we hadn't been in the first place.
By now door closed on this funeral so another quiet apologetic race for seat at back with people turning around and funeral directors looking askance. We have form for lateness ...but not for funerals. Qué dagger looks from DM whose friends funeral we were at. Nothing we said could convince he we hadn't been late in the first place ...until guy from other funeral directors came over and asked if we'd got ourselves sorted.
The previous posters description of joining a funeral procession brought this almost forgotten memory back. So thank you for the thread op. Stuck in the house with mild covid so be thought back a Emory that I've shared with DH which wasn't funny at time but is now. 😀

Too many.

As a teen, went to the nearest toilet to the plane gangway exit, full on goth mode. My ankle length skirt was tucked in my knickers, I made it all the way to passport control before a lovely lady told me (at least a 15 min walk). I vowed that day to always tell someone in the same situation!

Victoria station, rush hour, on the really long escalator. Baking hot day. I was wearing a knee length box pleat skirt. One of those gusts of air you get when a tube comes through happened at the same time as the guy behind me bent down do do a shoelace or something. He stood up and his head was under my skirt. I was embarrassed but he was utterly mortified. I felt more sorry for him tbh.
