To cringe everytime I think about it

[cheekybarsteward]

Had the BT man around earlier to get my phone line back on after storm.
Very chatty pleasant man, having a bit of a gossip etc and getting on nicely when he suddenly comes out with "Why aren't you working?".
I was 'ed!!!!
I blurted out that I did in fact work, do not sit around watching Jeremy Vile all day but had been off sick blah blah (too much information really )
He then looked at me and said "Not you love, I was talking to my line machine"
Oh god, I am soooo embarrased

I also once got out of a lift and said "thank you" to it!

Hilarious

Although I once told the BT man I loved him in quite an intensely passionate voice- I was just so grateful and a bit overcome with exhaustion- He was and also a bit repulsed I think, I was not looking too hot and wearing a wedding ring.

These are awesome!

I remember once being in a bar in Central London and I went to the loo. I was rather pished and as I sort of stumbled out of the cubicle I bumped into someone. I turned to them and said "Ooh Sorry!" only to be greeted by my own reflection...

The end wall was completely mirrored...

The whole toilets was full of women as well who proceeded to fall about laughing >_

Oh scarlet thank you!

OP, thanks for starting this thread. You've brightened up my day

I'm glad my shame helped you

OOHH I've just remembered another one...

Again, in a pub toilets (I'm not some crazy piss-head, honest).

I got thought I was stuck in the cubicle and started shouting for help...before I realised I was trying to turn the lock the wrong way...

A small crowd had gathered and I had to pretend that the lock had miraculously un-stuck...

I thought I was stuck Not sure where that "got" came from

These are brilliant! :o

This thread has cheered me up so much :o

I was in a changing room once trying on jeans. I was pulling them up and leant backwards to lean on the cubicle but it was just a curtain. I fell flat on my back out into the main changing room bit (whic was quite full) with the jeans only halfway up.

Mortified!!

hilarious! He will so be telling his friends and colleagues about the daft woman this morning...sorry!

I worked in a picture framer's a very long time ago. Rather handsome man came in with a rolled-up print and started talking about the picture and how he wanted it framed...

After a bit of chat I said 'well the best thing you can do is whack it out on the table and I can have a look at it.'

Sorry - the best I can do is the usual skirt tucked in knickers story.

The best i can do, is when dc2 was 3 she pulled my the back of my trousers and knickers down in Tesco whilst i bent down to give dc3 her bottle on a very busy saturday, everyone saw my giant arse briefly before i quickly pulled my garments up.
Luckily no-one saw my ladygarden as i was bent over the pushchair-kids!

DH has a slight speech imprediment and can't say 'th' properly. I was talking to him about going to the cinema with my sister and was discussing what film to watch, and it was a choice between Thor and something else. DH said 'well, I'd for four'. Which perplexed me somewhat, as I was only talking about 2 films. We went round in circles for sometime until at last I realized he was saying 'I'd go for Thor'. Luckily he was a bit pissed and thought it was hilarious, rather than his wife mocking his speech impediment . I honestly had no idea what he was drivelling on about for about 5 minutes.

Running across a train station in a large city in Italy. Wearing a backpack. Friend running behind me. When she caught up with me she said that with every stride I took, my skirt rode up under my backpack until there were two cheeks wobbling across the platform. The shame.

I recently said the words "That's not my poo...well it probably is but I mean I haven't just done it, I haven't been today, not since Thursday actually so it must have been stuck since then and come back up...oh my GOD!" to a very startled plumber who was trying to unblock our toilet.

I was working as a cashier in a grocery store when a man came up to me and said "Honey?"

"Yes?" I replied.

He said, "no, erm, where can I FIND the honey?"

Me:

I had a very long, circular conversation once when I worked in a grocery shop with a customer who asked me 'Where can I find the coffee mate'.

We used to keep tea & coffee behind the till as people were always pinching it so I pointed behind me. Turned out he wanted powdered milk

peabodyblue sorry, but that is hilarious!

peabody

Lol peabody

When I was 22 I had a job in the City and it had a strictish dresscode, e.g. had to always wear tights, closed-toe shoes etc. One very hot summer day I was standing on the Tube platform waiting for my train and a number of men were standing on the opposite side leering and staring. I walked down away from them, they followed. This happened a couple of times then I looked down and my wrap dress had completely opened, revealing stockings, suspenders. the whole lot. So, so mortified..... Thank God had pants on.
