To ask what's the most embarrassing thing you or someone else has said in public.

[Sadbri]

A bit of a fun thing to do in the run up to Christmas.

What is the most embarrassing thing you have said out loud or someone around you has said out loud.

For me in was in America in a target store. I was 20 and with my American friend. We were in the stationary isle and they had some amazing erasers. I very loudly shouted to my friend in the adjacent row "OMG come over here and check out these rubbers!! This one smells amazing!" It was very loud and not hidden at all. A few people looked at me funny and I was none the wiser. My friend very abruptly came over to me, took me away and told me what I had just said 😳😳

Tell me I'm not the only one who's mouth just runs away!! 😂😂

Once had to do a scene from a Greek tragedy in front of most of my school and accidentally said ‘with sweet scents of burning incest’ instead of ‘burning incense’

Not embarrassing but incredibly funny. On hols in an African country. Loos were separated by a wall that was open at the top, few feet. DD, then about 12 was taking a while. DP asks her if she's ok, DD, loudly enough everyone in the Men's could hear her, proclaims "it's ok Mummy I'm pushing out smelly dates". Cue hysterics on both sides of the wall

During sex ed class at age 10, I randomly stood up and declared I'd started my periods. True, but why?

20 years later, when asked in a job interview about my most embarrassing moment, I retold that story. To two young, Male, interviewers.

My niece didnt speak until she was 2 and a half. Taking her to the shops one say, she spied a lady puffing up the hill on her bicycle. Cue first words 'Fat man on a bike.' Didn't know how to respond!

That reminds me! My first words were in a cafe, I proudly held up my knife and fork to the server and proclaimed "fucking knife".

My sister, aged about six, asking her friend’s mum ‘Are you EVER going to have your baby?’ Let’s just say she was ‘pregnant’ for a very long time...

Amibeingnaive - did you get the job?

I’d been looking after a patient who was undergoing quite a few tests and we had been going in and out of her room all day. As I was leaving at the end of my shift I popped my head in and said “I’ll let you rest in peace”.

Obviously it was some kind of mash up of “I’ll let you have some peace” and “I’ll let you rest” from my tired brain.

I wanted the ground to swallow me whole but she was a good sport about it thank goodness

Laughing at r0sesandtulips

Oh these are brilliant!

On the bus the other day was an obese man whose belly was on display under the bottom of his shirt, resting on his thighs. (You do see some lovely sights on the number 100.)

DD2 declares from her buggy, 'That man's got a big bottom!'

Astonishingly, yes I did. Didn't take it though; how could I?

Total tool.

With my children at mass happily sung 'Burn Jesus, Burn' instead of 'Shine Jesus, Shine'
God knows why or how. Kids just erupted into laughter which made it all the worse. They never let me forget it

When I was at school, the librarian had to write out a speech for open evening. She allowed me and my friend to look over it as some of the students, including us, were also doing speeches and we had to make sure nothing was repeated too much .One subheading was "working with students" but, in her handwriting, looked like "wanking with students". As me and my friend lost our shit over it, we had to point it out to her. Luckily she found it funny but it must have stuck with as, when she read out the speech, she read out "...and, over the past year, I have very much enjoyed wanking with students."

When I was a toddler, maybe 3 or 4, I was in town with my mother. We saw a neighbour approaching in the distance and my mum muttered 'Oh no, it's Mrs X, she's a right nosey old bat'. Mrs X comes up, says hello, asks me how I am and I pipe up 'My mum says you're a nosey old bat'. My mum turns to me crossly, 'Not THIS Mrs X! It's another Mrs X'. And gives me this annoyed frown.
I'm still peeved about this betrayal, 60 years later ...

There used to be a lovely art shop in Bristol called Harold Hockey and when I was a kid the owners had a dog who'd wander around the shop. Not sure if it was an actual Old English Sheepdog or a bearded collie, but I remember seeing it lying in the paint section one day while my mum was picking out some gouache and saying very loudly, 'Look Mummy, it's the Durex dog!' Lots of snorting adults around me for some reason

When I was at university I had a part-time job working as a PA to a well-known actor and writer. I had a huge crush on him. We were discussing a situation he was thinking about and I said 'you don't want to get sucked off on that path'.
In my head I knew I wanted to say something like 'you don't want to go down that path' and 'you don't want to get sucked into that' but his nearness to me had got me all discombobulated. I still blush at the memory.

@SerenDippitty Once at the supermarket I was going to burp very quietly but instead was caught unawares by a thunderclap of a belch. blush. Several people in the pet food aisle looked round in surprise.

Possibly the most British thing I have ever read. Brilliant!

I used to work at McDonalds during my A levels and I was taking orders on the speaker, with my mind clearly on other things. I said ‘please check your homework on the screen’ Instead of ‘please check your order on the screen’

I had a friend at uni who was a bit of a “character”. A bit caught up in her own dream world and unaware of others. Lovely, but with quite an unusual approach to life.

One day we were getting a train and on the way to the station, she had one of those moments when you forget a word. She desperately tried to remember it but it wasn’t coming to her. When we got on the train, the only seats available were in the quiet carriage so we decided to just sit there and use the opportunity to relax in the very full but silent catriage.

Only, after about 10 minutes, she suddenly remembered the word she was thinking of earlier and suddenly burst out “FELLATIO!”

A very posh woman politely but coldly asked us to leave the carriage. I was dying inside

An old lady I know calls her Volvo her vulva. English is not her first language. I can't tell her....

I was complementing my cousin on how fit and slim she looked after visiting not having seen her for a couple of years. After when we was leaving I asked her where she got her skinny genes from ( me not having received the skinny genes) and she replied thanks I got them from primark ! I just left it at that

I was in Greece on a family holiday. My daughter, aged 3 at the time, started running towards the pool. In horror, I notice one of her jelly shoes is unfastened.

" STRAP ON!!!!" I yell at the top of my voice.

Cue everyone around the pool dissolving into fits of giggles.

'They'd been happily wanking at their neighbours for years,completely oblivious to the fact the neighbours fucking hated them'. Heffalump That has properly cracked me up!

I have a long name that is often shortened. My best friend started to date a woman who had two young children. I went over to meet them. I was introduced by my full name and my bestie said can you remember what else we said you could call her and one of them answered 'bike'. Turns out they had just been given their new bikes as they has the conversation about my name....... Or so I'm told.
