Embarrassing moment 😳

[ConnieHeart]

Went to a wedding yesterday of OH's nephew. Lots of his distant family in attendance that we hadn't seen for ages. As we were leaving I said goodbye to my SIL's BIL. I wasn't sure exactly how to do it as I don't know him very well so I put my hand out & he shook it(!) & I kind of leaned in for a hug (as I'd hugged his wife goodbye) but it didn't quite work out as he's really tall & I ended up just putting my cheek on the jacket of his lapel and just staying there for a few seconds as I didn't really know how to finish the very awkward move. I then stood back up straight and mumbled "goodbye". There should be a rulebook for how to say goodbye to people you like but don't know very well 🤣

Coke and popcorn? Something my brain would do to me 🤣

Was he excited to meet you? 😀

Years ago when I was heavily pregnant with my son, I saw this woman that I kind of knew from somewhere who was also heavily pregnant. I assumed she was from the antenatal classes I'd been going to and where it wasn't always the same people absolutely every single week. I was whittering on about the weather, how hot it was and uncomfortable it was being pregnant in the heat, she was chatting back. I left and said I might see you next week . I went home and it wasn't until hours later that I remembered where I 'knew' her from - it was Colleen Nolan.

Once leaned in for a kiss to greet my friends wife and grabbed her boob. A bit awkward.

I'm getting Talking Heads video vibes from this.

The update has got me crying! Absolutely brilliant.

One that comes to mind is when I got into the car of a random stranger and stayed long enough to put my seatbelt on before realising.

My partner had dropped me off at KFC and went to park the car. I got the food, came out, saw the car, jumped in and handed him the bag of food before putting my seatbelt on. Only it wasn’t my partner’s car (or my partner!). It was the exact same model and colour. I only realised because it was spotlessly clean inside and my partner’s car is not. Once I looked at the poor random guy, he just said ‘Hello’ and smiled at me but to make matters worse, I then screamed OMG in his face before jumping out.

Holy fuck 😂

Working in a hospital ward and helped a gentleman with sever spina bifida up onto his bed. He was brilliant at transferring with very little support. But it was obviously hard work for him. He was really out of breath and stupidly I said

“I bet you feel like you’ve run a marathon now”

his response

“I wouldn’t know how that feels”

thankfully he thought it was hilarious, I still want to die every time I think about it.

similar to the first wave pool one, I was going down the rapids at centre parks and I ended up basically getting wrapped round a woman and her child half the way down I couldn’t detach myself and the poor lady had me straddled round her so we went down 3 in a row with me at the back

I was working as a relief catering assistant many years ago and so went to lots of different locations. On one occasion a very friendly girl welcomed me and said ‘ I’m Michelle whats your name?’
I said ‘it’s Catherine …I mean actually it’s Helen’. To this day I don’t know why I said Catherine. I don’t know any Catherine’s . I’ve never felt the urge to be called Catherine. I felt such an idiot and I had to work with her for days!

People in wheelchairs can have a sense of humour too. You’d never laugh at anythinging in life if you just focussed on the what ifs.

I once was amusing my youngest dd (who was about 3) by spinning around and singing 'tick-a-billa!tick-a-billa!sing along Molly!'

Span round and crashed into my landlord who'd come round for something and had finished,so had come to tell me he was leaving

When I say I crashed into him,I mean we both went down,with some force onto the floor,and I landed on top of him

He died a fortnight later-bloody hope i didnt have anything to do with it

Reading bits out loud here and there to my partner, we're both laughing our heads off, especially at the wheelchair and kick up the bum ones 🤣🤣😭🤣 what a great thread!

This thread has had me crying with laughter despite everything going on in my life. Thank you.

I have done so many of these and it’s so reassuring I’m not the only one!

Thanks for telling me. 👍

That's wild 😄

Maybe you were Catherine in a previous life.

This made me laugh so hard it was physically painful 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As young student nurses my friend said ‘orgasm’ instead of ‘organism’ in a presentation to the cohort. We couldn’t finish (ha ha!) for laughing.

My Dh went to the gym he belonged too to have a swim he’d put his swim shorts on before he went then just took his other clothes off at the side of the pool and hung his bag up
He went in the poolside shower then started to walk to the other end of the pool
He got in then heard a lot of laughter and someone shouted “ nice thong “ as he’d swam along a pair of our DD’s thongs that had been caught in his swim shorts most likely from getting caught up in the washing machine floated behind him (luckily he knew most of the people in the pool ) but he was still mortified

I bet you’re fun at parties 😂

As a district nurse I was once trying to gain entry to the house of a man wheelchair bound with spina bifida who was well known as a heavy drinker. When I finally succeeded and he opened the door I said (referring to his love of alcohol) ‘I thought you just must be paralytic in the chair’.

Hahaha! This reminds me of a tale my SIL told me about taking her toddler to a swimming lesson (the type where the parent has to go in the water too). Toddler was a handful so SIL would have to get herself changed at the speed of light.

After swimming, back to the cubicle. SIL went right through the bag but her knickers were nowhere to be seen which she thought was odd as she had definitely been wearing some when they arrived. After a thorough search she gave up and decided to go home commando. Peeled off her swimsuit and found she was still wearing her knickers underneath, which must have been visibly protruding a few inches from the leg holes of her high cut swimsuit. As she left she mentioned it to the swimming teacher who said "ah yes I did wonder about what you were wearing in the pool!"

True story ...lived in a village with 2 pubs ...the bluebell inn and the lane end pub ...
All fine so far , until my dopey teenage daughter got on the bus in town....and asked for a single to The bell end pub !!
She's now 43 and lives else where now but still curls up round the edges when you mention it
