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 🤣

Oh and another one which will out me as I’ve spoken about it before…

Really filthy rainy night. Came across a hedgehog in the middle of the road just sitting there in such a spot as to be in real danger of being squished before too long.

So I pulled over and went to save it, only as I got closer I realised it was in fact a lump of mud. But I didn’t want to look silly so I picked it up and placed it tenderly in the bushes at the side of the road.

New friend!
Hilarious 😂

These are all making me laugh but this one I was laughing away trying not to wake my baby sleeping in my arms 🤣

I’ve told this before but me and an older lady both arrived at a little local shop at the same time so i let her through the door first with a smile. A couple of minutes later, I bumped into her in another aisle and we sort of smiled again,
I went and got a few more things and rounded a corner and there she was again. Another smile.
Realised I had forgotten something, went to get it and as I rounded another aisle, there she was again. So I commented “I promise I’m not stalking you” and she gave me another smile, but I got a bit over excited and did this really loud shriek-style laugh in a tone I’ve never used before. I’ve got no idea where it came from. What’s worse is that while I was laughing, I sort of acknowledged how weird it sounded by going “HAHAHA….OOOOOH!” The lady looked mildly alarmed and scuttled into the next aisle.
The shop was pretty much silent so my big hysterical laugh and “oooooh!” boomed around the whole place. I’ve no idea why that laugh came out like that because the whole situation was only mildly amusing and certainly not laugh worthy!

When I was about 16 working in a large open plan office, someone left a bowler hat on the coat stand. One of the current Bond villains, Oddjob, used to take off his bowler and throw it like a frisbee, decapitating his victim. I decided to mimic this in the (thankfully) nearly empty office, but got his name mixed up with another villain, Blofelt, and threw said bowler over the desks, exclaiming "Blojob!" I hid.

Had a holiday in Italy and visited some farming relatives I'd never actually met before. As I strode up to the barn near the house, the old man seemed happy to see me so I ran up, laughing, and embraced him, briefly noting the fearful look in his eye before I slid in the mud and tumbled at his feet.

Turned out they'd never received our letter warning of our arrival and he had no idea who I was.

I went to the Ladies in a stately home, and came out to meet DH who was looking at a plant stall nearby. To get there I had to walk down a sort of open staircase and then cross a small courtyard. When he was ready to go, I turned round to discover that the area behind me seemed to have become taped off suddenly. I was wondering why I hadn't noticed it before, when another woman kindly pointed out to me that I had the end of the toilet paper stuck on my shoe and had trailed it all the way across to where I ended up.

This has cheered my morning up. My DS really isn't well and I have read some out which has made him laugh, so thank you.

Now, this isn't mine but I I read it on MN and it tickled me. A lady popped for an item at her local supermarket while her DH put petrol in the car. She didn't realise it coincided with a minute's silence. When she was at the checkout, the silence started. She spotted him outside smiling and waving at her to let her know he was finished and had parked up. She bowed her head and hoped he would go just go back to the car but but he thought she hadn't seen him so started tapping on the glass with a pound coin to try to get her attention. A deafening tap in a silent supermarket.

Oh my goodness, this wins hands down! 😆😆😆

Oh my god @ShakyBake that's made my laugh so much..it's so Frank Spencer 😂🙈

At my mothers funeral I spotted a couple I vaguely recognised and immediately assumed they were my aunt and cousin who I hadnt seen for many years. After a big squishy reunion hugs, I realised they were my mums downstairs neighbours.

I actually laughed out loud to this 🫣

These are brilliant really made me laugh
Not mine but happened to a friend
Friend was in a supermarket with her Dh who was pushing the trolley friend popped off to fetch something she had forgotten.Friend went to find her Dh spotted him went up to him smacked him on the arse whilst saying “love your arse” only for some random man to turn round and say “so does my girlfriend” she scuttled away and then found her actual Dh.

I once went to kiss a female friend on the cheek, continental-style. She went in the French/Spanish direction, right cheek first, and I went Italian, left first. We ended up kissing on the lips. I just thought this was funny, but she didn't.

Omg, situations like these are why I never initiate any kind of handshake, hug, kiss on the cheek etc until the other person has done it first. I'd quite happily never have any form of physical greeting again

On the first day of my new job, nerves had kept me awake until the small hours the night before.

Part of the 'settling in' programme was a meeting with the leadership team followed by a buffet lunch. When lunch was done, and seizing a lull in the chat around the table, I opened my mouth to say thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome, and instead a massive yawn came out.

I was so mortified, I tried to lightheartedly brush it off by boldly announcing "I'm so sorry, I should have warned you about my necrophilia at the interviews".

Cue a silence that seemed to go on for an hour and horrified faces all around the table. It wasn't until a stoney-faced HR director quietly asked "Is narcolepsy the word you were looking for?" that realisation hit.....

I'm not elderly, but I'm now a wheelchair user following an accident last year. This thread has just reinforced my stance that not a chance would I let any random stranger anywhere fucking near me. I have a power chair but sometimes it in a tight spot I might switch to manual so DH can assist. As for particularly steep slopes - nope. No handle grips to come off on my chair, so that's one thing.

This made me proper LOL at the thought of you walking round the hospital with your pants on your head😂

I was once at church and the bishop had come to say mass as sort of doing the rounds of the diocese.

For some reason he made everyone come up to him and tell him a confession at the same time as taking holy communion. I am terrible at thinking on my feet and I was getting more and more flustered and my mind drew a complete blank. I still don’t know to this day why I whispered “I’ve stolen some pets” into his ear. He never followed up on it so I’m assuming he didn’t understand me properly because he was foreign.

I came out of the ladies with my skirt stuffed in my knickers at a very posh wedding. One of the elderly relatives on the other side of the family, who I didn't know, took pity on me and discreetly mentioned it. I was mortified.

I still cringe 30 years later.

OMG, that's brilliant. What are the chances? Did he get it out and give it back?

These stories are brilliant!!

It is the amount of details people go into that is making me laugh - especially this one "Dh was watching me over the top of the pottery cottage display"

😂

Nooooooooooooooooo

I got stuck in lapels like OP a few times in my life. 😂

Yes it was the removals van than set me off too!
