Just for a chuckle?

Mine is when I wet myself during the festival of voices aged 7. I know lots of kids wet themselves - mine just happened to be during a concert with all my classmates feet in the puddle for the remainder of the song, I was wearing a long dress and somehow thought I could style it out.

I couldn't Sad

My DCs are a bit ridiculous. Last summer DS1 and DS2 were outside playing in the garden while I finished showering (DH was in his office supposedly watching them). I heard DS1 shouting "Mummy, Mummy, I think George (DS2) is dead" and ran outside entirely naked to find DS2 wrapped in the carpet we'd recently removed from the landing, after being instructed to "play dead" by DS1.

The very, absolutely worst part of all, though, is that our garden is overlooked by DS1's best friend's family, and his best friends Mum was merrily stood looking over the fence to see what all the noise was. As I casually tried to stick-insect myself against the side of the house without showing flange.

Fortunately she's from Yorkshire and is both hilarious and not a prude. My front bottom still clenches when I think of it though.

When I left home to go to university I had a cocktail dress - red and gold brocade cut v low at back with breast shaped padding at front, (much larger than my own chest). SO sophisticated! Wore it to a ball that Christmas and as one of the boys squeezed past me he unwittingly pushed one of my "breasts" in. Where it very, very slowly came out again as they all watched. Instead of any more dancing I spent the night with my arms crossed over my chest trying to stop them pressing my breasts in order to watch them come out again. Never wore the dress again and couldn't tell my mother why, so she was ticked off with me, adding guilt to adolescent shame. Blush I bumped into one of the boys recently (now a respected surgeon) and he still remembers - says it was better than the cabaret.

Oh I've got too many moments to pick the worst.
As a newly qualified nurse having my first interview. I was asked what qualities I would need to work with acutely psychotic patients, I replied I could empathise, realised it was a ridiculous answer and started to panic and ramble. I was then asked how would I deal with a stressful situation and rambled on about having a bath when I got home with candles and bubbles etc. I didn't get the job!

Went to a houseparty with my then BF, got very drunk, was staying at his parents house. They offered us two sofas to sleep on, we decided to stay the night. We pushed the two sofas together. I woke up, disorientated and feeling sick, I couldn't work out how to get out of the sofas and vomited all over BFs chest, the duvet his parents had given us and the sofas. The next morning I begged DF to tell them it was him but he didn't. I was mortified.

Realising my mother in law had hand washed my pants as her washing machine had broken ??

Piefacepieface · 15/05/2015 23:12

Few years ago, making those santa videos for the kids on t'internet where you personalise it with their names. DH thought it was funny to make one for me except Santa was telling me I'd been very naughty because I always fart in bed. Kids (and me) thought it was hilarious.

Cue visit to santa at the garden centre not long after and its one of those ones where 6 children go in at a time and all the (many, many) parents stand behind them while Santa chats to the kids.

DS shouting out loud 'I got the letter you sent me'
Santa 'oh right my letter...?'
DS 'yes the one where you said mummy has been naughty because she farts in bed'

Two weeks ago when on a long haul flight, I was feeling pretty restless. I was sat in the aisle seat, sat beside a couple I didn't know but who had been making polite conversation throughout the flight. About 3/4 way though, the woman made a comment I didn't quite catch, and (very dramatically I might add) I through my head around and loudly said, "Oh what was that?" She hadn't even been talking to me, so I tried to salvage the situation by acting like I also wanted to glance out the window and had a big of a stretch. Whilst doing so, I knocked somebody walking down the aisle, so I quickly mumbled a small apology- it was only a brief elbow knock. When I turned around, I realised it was the air stewardess who was now scrambling about on the floor searching for something. It wasn't until she shot me a mean look that I realised she was carrying someone's false teeth!! Which were now beyond unhygienic having been knocked onto the floor.

Straycatblue · 15/05/2015 23:29

Crying with laughter at these! Just the tonic I needed after a bad day at work today. Cant stop giggling at the sad tampon :D

ursuslemonade · 15/05/2015 23:42

I was about 12 and stayed at my classmate's place with others for a sleepover. There was a campfire before we all went to bed (don't know if it's 100% true but I've been told many times while growing up that I should not stay close to the campfire close to bedtime as I can easily wet the bed.
I've never wet the bed before or after)
In the morning I woke while wetting the bed. I was mortified. Said something like I poured some water out but her mum must have smelled it. The girl never mentioned anything afterwards but it took me an awful lot of time to recover from my shame. But I've always been a very sensitive soul.

SlummyMummy1974 · 16/05/2015 00:30

I'm nearly weeing myself laughing at these! My 5 cats and dog are staring at me like I've lost the plot! Tampons shooting under doorways! You couldn't make it up! Hahaha!

GeraldineFangedVagine · 16/05/2015 00:35

I am a theatre nurse and was working in Neuro theatres one day. After our list finished one day, the surgeon thanked me and kind of went to shake my hand I went for a shake but cupped his bits. I don't even know why or indeed how. He was shoked I was mortified. We neither of us spoke about it again.

DrFoxtrot · 16/05/2015 01:18

I love your stories! I've done the breastfeeding tits out thing - Xmas Day 2006 breastfeeding my 3 week old son, both tits out through the whole of dinner without realising, XMIL, XH and my sister said nothing. Neither did my two year old who could have spoken up!!

During A Levels I took advantage of the hot days off by sunbathing in my underwear. We lived down a country lane on the school bus route and it was convenient for the bus to drop my brother and sister off at the gate. I asked my dad, who was working outdoors, to warn me when he saw the bus coming. He thought it would be hilarious to let the bus pull up and stop full of secondary school children watching me try to scarper across the drive in my vest and knicks.

And I've just remembered that I may have urinated all over my first boyfriends brothers room. I was staying over in the spare/brothers room and after a few beers I have vague memories of trying to get to the toilet in the night. But I actually peed all over my clothes and the brothers birthday cards. In the morning, my boyfriend got the blame as it wasn't the sort of thing a girl would possibly do, I didn't own up Blush.

The same boyfriend (different night) also tried to catch my vomit in his hands to stop it going on his mothers settee, the vomit coming out of my nose as I was trying to keep it in. I was really classy!

YellowTangerine · 16/05/2015 01:37

Mine was the other day. I walked into Asda totally unaware I was wearing slippers. To add insult to injury they were odd slippers. The security guard near wet himself.

SilverSamhainFairy · 16/05/2015 02:47

I have told this one before but here goes..I was vacuuming my cherished Ford Mustang one fine summer day. Enjoying the attention from various males because of the carmy youth and beauty. Bent over to vacuum back seat, lovely little baby doll dress (circa 1994) gets sucked into powerful vacuum...totally ripped off! I am left standing in car wash park in my knickers..dive into driver's seat and roar off..the ringing of wolf whistles and laughter in my ears. My face is red even now..

LunaMay · 16/05/2015 06:11

Ohh this may out me but oh well... When i was younger (13ish) i played in a week long sports carnival 5hours from home, staying with strangers etc
One day our team was playing on the main field which had a grand stand and lots of people watching. Half way through the game i start needing the toilet badly but before i know it its my turn next at bat...

So im standing waiting for my turn willing myself to strike out when i realise im just not gonna make it. i turned and ran back to the 'dug out' whick is caged and had to beg my coach to open the door and let me in where i promptly wet myself... actually i dont even remember if i got in before i did... Who knows how much everyone in the grandstand saw but it was awful. Had to tie a jacket around my waist and go swap pants, to make it worse we were going swimming after so most of us had worn our bathers under our uniform. So wet pants in front of hundreds, couldnt go swimming and spent the rest of day acutely aware of having no underwear on.

Strangely once i got back to the house i was staying and had to tell the mother why i needed her to wash my clothes asap i suddenly found it hilarious. I guess i realised i was never going to see any of the people again and only had to deal with my teammates who i was friends with anyway.

Whattonamemyselfnow · 16/05/2015 06:24

After birth of dd, not that long ago....
Went swimming. Fine. Getting changed afterwards I couldn't find my pants. Weird, where are they? Looked down and I'd been wearing them over my costume Confused

CheerfulYank · 16/05/2015 06:51

Oh these are amazing!

I've blocked mine out, I'll have to think. :o

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 16/05/2015 08:45

As a young teen, sleeping in lurid coloured sleeping bag at friends sleepover. Wake up in the early hours to discover I'd wet myself during the night. Whilst 'surveying the damage' to see if I can possibly get away without being found out, I realise that the wetness has DYED the carpet from the colours of the sleeping bag!!

I ended up having to wake my friend in tears and 'fess up! Her mum made me scrub the carpet clean! I still get butterflies when I remember it! (not the good kind of butterflies!)

TheoriginalLEM · 16/05/2015 09:22

BigfatNessy · 16/05/2015 09:29

Farting at yoga. Blush made worse by the fact it was right at the end during the quiet meditation part. And it was a smelly stinky one.

More recently, going for bike ride with hubby and some friends and my bike got a puncture. Another rider in the group offered to pump the tyres up but couldn't and had to tell me the whole wheel was buckled, obviously from my weight..
I wanted the ground to open up. But It did prompt me to start a diet so some good came out of the embarrassment.
I keep telling myself that.

hollyisalovelyname · 16/05/2015 09:30

In France on an exchange, probably 13/14, got in from a day out to discover my yellow trousers had period stains on the back of them.
Oh, the shame I felt.
I've never told anyone, ever!

pnutter · 16/05/2015 09:38

Years ago bf elder sister walks in on us in a 69 position. Which was bad enough. Then she just stood there. Then she started asking bf a question. Like "do you want tea?" Answer : "hmrmphfff"

Tanith · 16/05/2015 09:52

Ooh! I have just remembered another.

I used to work shifts years ago and we could dress more casually on nights.

I had a lovely, flowing long skirt on and, as I walked into the staff entrance, I rummaged around for my pass card.

The automatic doors shut on the hem of my skirt and, as I walked forward, pulled it right down Blush. The security guards were in fits.

It was on the security film and, for days, the rotten gits would see when I was approaching and play it back especially for me Grin

RusticBlush · 16/05/2015 09:54

These are hilarious - reg the saliva Grin

Friends and I were out watching a local very lively band when we saw a group of men we liked really letting themselves go on the dancefloor so we thought we'd join them - bad idea - the biggest burliest of blokes did a funny leg swing out 'move' and totally knocked my legs clean away mid dance resulting in me face-planting the floor - sexy Blush

sportinguista · 16/05/2015 09:57

Accidentally falling in the slurry at a friends farm Blush my sister in particular never lets me live that one down. Ironically DH has had a similar incident only his was cow sh*t and he had to walk a few miles in the heat of his home country in summer and then wash off in the village pump in front of all the locals, his friend had made him walk behind as well. So clearly we are made for each other Grin

sourdrawers · 16/05/2015 10:22

So many to mention but most recent involves knickers too. Handsome man late 40's, my age, has moved into flat downstairs and I've given him my best restrained but slightly flirty hello's.

After hanging my washing out on the clothes horse on the balcony the other day, (my flat isn't overlooked so no one can see my skimpies fluttering about.) I noticed all that wind we had the other day , and I went out to bring washing in. To my horror almost all of my undies were gone. I looked over the balcony and noticed most of them rolling around in his garden downstairs. I had to go down to his flat and ask him if I could.......He was home luckily, and was very sweet about it, he let me in and followed me to the garden and i saw him smirking as I hurriedly gathered up my bras, nix and tights. I could feel my face burning and I gathered it all up hoping he didn't notice what it was. I thanked him, ran passed him with my bundle of lacy items, avoiding eye contact, almost free, I then caught bra strap on his front room door handle and all spilled out onto his hallway floor. He told me to take my time and to let myself out. I let myself out anyway... I got home and almost chewed my fist off with embarrassment.

Anyhow yesterday evening came a knock on the door, it was him and he said I forgot something the other day and handed me my huge, apple catchers. He said "you forgot these the other day, hope you haven't missed them"? I snatched them from him and went a darker shade of crimson than a few days before. He was really nice and told me his name and that he's a plumber. I told him my name and he joked he know my name as it was written on my knickers and if I ever needed a plumber or the use of his washing line..... Actually there is a leaking tap in bathroom. DD can't believe I'm even considering asking him down here. What do we reckon.? Sorry for long post.
