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 🤣

I'm astonished and frankly disgusted that so many people were lolling about this. Without even knowing if the woman was ok. It must have been really frightening for her and she could have been badly injured.

What is wrong with people laughing at this? It wasn't a staged scene in a sitcom. It was real life with real people. People really can't distinguish reality from fantasy can they?

FFS.

I think most people would assume that the poster wouldn't have told this story if the woman had ended up injured or worse. And the image it conjurs up IS very funny!

Oh my goodness gracious….!!!! The poor woman, was she ok? I have to know if she was ok, so I can laugh my head off! 🤣

Sorry I’m laughing anyway. I’m going to hell arn’t I😂

@LycheeFizz1972omg, I'm just had a hideous cracked molar extraction, and laughing really hurts, but I don't care, I genuinely have tears in my eyes. It was waving the wad of cash at the stranger that killed me 😂

I went to my now sister in laws wedding, I hadn’t been with my husband long. The wedding was in Scotland, The highlands. I was outside having a cigarette, surrounded by mountains and stags when the groom joined me, we were chatting away, this was probably the 3rd time meeting him.. Perfect scenery, super quiet and I let out the biggest fart anyone has ever done in the history of farts.. mortifying! He was nice enough to pretend he didn’t hear.

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

This reminds me of a few weeks back, OH told me he went to the loo,sat down, pulled his boxers down, and inside them was one of my thongs! (to be fair, they cling to everything, always finding them stuck to other items of clothing)

Quite a few years ago I was waitressing. The Pre Christmas period was insane!

Long shifts not much of a break. We used to just grab whatever we could to eat on the go from the chefs or discarded stuff.

Anyway one day I was at the till mid eating some delicious turkey..The Duty Manger suddenly appeared and said what are you eating and I said “oh sorry I was just testing the turkey” and he said “you shouldn’t be doing that”

I said “I know, Gobble Gobble” (why i don’t know! i was panicking) thankfully he laughed. We were both laughing so much the turkey in my mouth accidentally spat out of my mouth and landed on his tie.

I cringe myself inside out every time i think of it!

Oooh remembered several more, it’s a wonder I can show my face at all out of the house.

When my twins were around 9 I had gone to pick them up from school and you had to go and wait in the playground for them to come out. The school was set in a curve encircling the playground so parents etc waited in the middle (relevant). Son was going straight to his friend’s for a party and sleepover straight from school so I had taken his overnight stuff to hand over to him. As I went to hand him the bag I said give me a hug goodbye, I won’t see you til tomorrow, he dodged away from me laughing, so I pretended to rugby tackle him and accidentally tripped and we both went down like a sack of potatoes, him lying on his back with me sprawled on top of him. I looked up and there were about 150 shocked faces of kids, teachers, parents etc in a semi circle around us just looking on in horror. Everyone ran over to check he was okay and absolutely no-one checked on me. I scuttled away to where my friend was standing, she was grinning broadly and said “that was so embarrassing for you”. Luckily he forgave me, but I did try and be a bit cooler after that.

I wrote in a biology test about an Amoeba being a singular celled orgasm instead of organism. The teacher marked them, laughed at me, and then told me that the teachers submitted their most ridiculous student moments every year to a vote, and she thought I'd place well. 15 year old me was MORTIFIED.

I remember a floppy-haired young man making this mistake while recording the quiz show, Blockbusters. The answer was “organism” and he blurted out “orgasm”. At least your mistake wasn’t filmed. I don’t know if it made it into an episode at the time, but it certainly made it on to an out-takes show.

I once worked in a supermarket and a bag was left at the checkouts. I looked inside and discovered naked pictures of a man with a large penis. Alittle while later the man called to ask if a bag had been handed in. I said yes and to come into the shop and ask at the tills and someone would collect from lost property. The man arrived later and before he spoke i said "oh we have your bag" and then suddenly realised he hadn't asked me yet so i ran off bright red.

I think he'd done that on purpose. cynical

And we will all have had the yesterday’s knickers working their way out of your jeans’ leg as you walk down the street. Haven’t we??
I once got on a crowded rush hour tube with people crushing in behind only to realise I’d walked out of one of my shoes.
Luckily a guy on the platform heard me squeal and lobbed it into the carriage just before the doors shut. It was then passed from pillar to post over everyone’s heads til it got back to me.
My most embarrassing though was when I was a starving young waitress and picked a lovely bit of cheese off a pizza before I took it out of the kitchen and put it in front of the customer only to find I was still attached to his pizza by a long string of melted Mozzarella hanging off my bottom lip.

Omg, I need to know the end of this! How did the customer react?

I felt awful but she was ok but the bang when she hit was massive. What made it worse is I had never met them before and just remember saying sorry over and over and when I left realised I was still holding the handles and had to go back again.

OMG this makes it even funnier!😂

On the beach wearing a long skirt and leggings, stood up to take my leggings off from under my skirt and pulled everything down at the same time including my pants, showed my bum to the whole beach, guy behind got an eyeful and couldn’t stop laughing!
I nearly died but still not my most embarrassing thing Ive done unfortunately

I spent ages in the window of a small cheapo jewellers looking at trays of gold rings. Young male assistant eventually approached me and asked if he could help. Held up my left hand and said ‘yes I’m looking for a little fingering ‘
he stared at me. I stared at him. We stared at each other. I said never mind and left. I still don’t have a ring on my little finger

Sat on a random blokes lap on the tube! Was sat with an empty seat either side of me, went to move for a mum and child to take 2 together, but it coincided with the train moving and I over shot a bit 😳

@ShakyBake i am literally crying with laughter.

One of my (many) embarrassing moments was when I got into someone else's car at a service station. I was having a very stressful time and rushing to get to a very poorly family member, so I wasnt thinking too straight.

Anyway, I'm in the driver seat, whilst wondering how has the car suddenly got so clean, when the real owner opens the car door and asks me, very nicely, why am I in her car. I reply, also very nicely, that i am in fact in my own car and I'm in a bit of a rush, I fasten my seat belt to reinforce the point and with the hope she will remove her arm (and head) and let me shut the car door. But she doesnt budge. So I graciously get out to show her the reg plate. Turns out it isn't my car. The lady is so kind she offers to help me find my car which at this stage I feel I have to accept 😂. As I'm climbing into my messy car she asks me if I'm on the HRT, i say yes i am 😂. She stands and waves me off (probably as an act of self preservation) and I wave back thanking the gods she was such a nice lady.

Fun times.

Stop stop stop dying laughing

Love the bit you are background wondering how the car got so clean…

Once offered to push an old women down a steep slope (wheelchair) as her husband was struggling and both rubber handles came off and I couldn't catch her despite running and she smashed into a removals van.

That's hilarious!!! Like a comedy sketch!! 😂 (I hope she was ok though? 🙏

I went to a wedding with my (now ex) DH. I wore a beautiful silk dress from Whistles and thought I looked the bee's knees. It had a low-cut (cleavage-level) wrap neckline. Unfortunately, because it also had a cut away back, there was nowhere to put a bra (this was in the days before stick-on bras, nipple pasties, tit tape, etc.)

ExDH introduced me to some friends of his family. There was mum, dad, adult son and daughter, and their partners. I shook hands enthusiastically with all six of them, noticing as I went down the line that they each had a fixedly horrified expression and were making very determined eye contact.

I looked down to discover that my entire right boob had escaped from my frock and was jiggling away as I shook hands.

I was once greeting someone for an interview, I put my hand out to shake hands and he has a deformity on his hands (think the soup guy on scary movie) so I just kinda got hold of one of his fingers and gave that a shake 🙈🙈

OMG 🙈🙈🙈😂

I went to shake a friend’s grandad’s hand but he didn’t have one and I ended up shaking his stump.

Jesus!!! I can't I imagine who was most embarrassed!!! X

I was on a boat trip and the water was quite rough. I was on deck watching some dolphins and then decided to go down into the nice warm saloon. As I let go of the bar to cross to the steps, the boat lurched and I was flung across the deck and ended up running the full length. Halfway down I rugby tackled a man and pushed him on to the steps and I finished up on top of him. He looked absolutely terrified, he was only about 30 and he was trapped underneath a 60+ woman with her arms and legs flailing. I have never, ever been so embarrassed.

Running the full length got me the most 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I accidentally kissed the same old man twice in the first visit to my Church. He was greeting everyone at the door and I didn’t realise he wasn’t too steady on his feet and when he sort of wobbled towards me slightly I took it as an invitation and kissed him on the cheek. He looked startled but was very gentlemanly about it. Later, during ‘peace be with you’ handshake he leant past me to shake the hand of the person the other side of me and I got the wrong end of the stick, grabbed his hand and kissed him again! I’m surprised I didn’t get asked to leave as a sex pest!

RIP Mr Angell (his real name!)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why did you kiss him though?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
