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 🤣

Crying laughing at this! Trying to be quiet so I don't wake everyone up 🤣🤣🤣

Stop it! I’m shaking the bed laughing

Years ago I broke my leg and had to keep it straight. So wheelchair with a extension if I went out. My cousin and I were in town, started going down a slope to get to the bus station. Problem was the wheelchair wouldn't stop. Nearly ended up going through the plate glass window of a shop. Thankfully some bloke grabbed the handles and stopped me but it was very very close! 🫢

Just tried to read this out loud to my DH and couldn’t get that words out - full on mutley laughter 😂

@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.

I feel like you need to start a thread about this. HOW was she ok? What happened to her legs? What did they both say!!

I've just woken a sleeping cat laughing at the wheelchair one and the stump.

Hellbound for sure.

Stop it this is hilarious 🤣🤣

I often chuckle at MN posts but this is the first time I've been made to cry laughing, hahaha. Thank you 😂

This is the funniest thread 😂I was chortling at the wheelchair removal van incident, then the @Hillsmakeyoustrong getting into somebody else’s car has finished me off 😆

I once heard a loud whistling sound, mid interview. I cocked my head on one side and said, ‘What’s that?!’

It was in my ear. Nobody else could hear it, and I looked very strange.

😂

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!)

Stop it @Gymnopediegivesmethewillies 😂😂😂

I was shopping and returned to find my car had been stolen. Reported it to the police who came out to the car park.

Realised a few minutes after they arrived that I had parked it in the identical car park on the other side of the shopping centre.

Mortified.

I was looking around secondary schools for eldest son when a man approached me and dh and started chatting. I couldn't place him, so presumed he knew dh. Then dh wondered off. Still unable to place him, the conversation turned to work. I was just about to remark that it's a small world, I work in IT too, when it dawned on me he sat behind me in the office.

Tbf he wasn't in his suit nor at work so I my brain couldn't cope. I was so close to saying " I work there too!" He must have thought, wow, she's a bit weird outside of her work persona. I had spent the last month working with him 1:1 on a project!

The wheelchair ... the smash ... Then walking off with the handles. Pahahahaha!!!

Not as funny but I once kicked a man up the bum by mistake. Going down the steps at Moorgate tube station, rush hour, very crowded. The man in front of me paused briefly. I dont have great balance (and I was heavily pregnant so even worse than usual). I couldn't stop my stride in time and my leg flew forward and my boot planted firmly right between his arse cheeks. I felt terrible. He turned around and apologised to me, how very English!

Ran out of my front door and hopped into the passenger seat of my waiting cab, apologising if I’d kept him waiting as I hadn’t heard him knock.
Driver looked at me and then calmly advised me he was just waiting for his wife who’d popped into one of my neighbours, so I apologised, undid my seatbelt and trotted back inside before she saw me, to wait for an ACTUAL TAXI.

I am laughing so much at the wheelchair story that I am crying …weirdly it’s the fact that the poster put in that it was a removals van that gets me

the car at the service station is a close second

Im not a guggy person - more into waving from a distance. Saves a lot of problems.

This one has sent me over the edge! I've woken up both dogs and sleeping partner. Horrible experience for you, but it's made my day 😂

I crossed paths with an acquaintance while doing the school run. She said “I haven’t seen you for ages!” I had expected her to say “How’re you doing?” as she usually did. I managed to “Yep, haha absolutely great HAHAHAHAA” and kept on walking. Took me about 5 minutes to realise what I’d said and it still pops into my mind to crucify me a little a couple of years later 🙈

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.

I was maybe 18/19 years old in H&M a very busy H&M too, queuing up waiting to pay for something and had on a black pencil skirt that zipped up at the front.
mid que my zip broke and my skirt quite literally dropped to the floor so I was stood in this que ass naked in little black thongs 😭
I managed to laugh it off, hold the skirt around me, buy some jeans and changed into them in the changing rooms.

I have stomach pain from laughing at these stories. The poster left holding the wheelchair handles, the shaking a stump, demonic hissing and the Amberley Open Air Challenge Museum stories 😂
