What has been the most embarrassing moment/event in your life so far?

More recently I was taking out the bins in the front garden and my breast pad suddenly fell out onto the floor (?!). I'm hoping no one saw. I very quickly picked it up once I realised

Yes, my seeming constant embarrassing moments are hilarious... for others.

I had an extended attack of the noisy queefs during a yoga class once. I must have sucked in the air supply while doing the shoulder stand and the remainder of the class was punctuated by it all escaping again. Who would have thought a vagina had such capacity. It was never ending and everyone heard. I was mortified. A few workmates were with me, though luckily only female ones who may have understood. The instructor and many other yogis present were male though.

Tried to open the car door to someone else's locked car on accident in the dark. Also started pushing someone else's trolley in the supermarket thinking it was mine.

I once went into a stranger's tent by mistake at a music festival. (It was dark!)

I can't think of any. I'm sure there have been some, but I don't embarrass easily. I fell over walking through Chinatown in London last year. It had been raining all day and I just slipped. Lots of people were very concerned. I just said how grateful I was that I was wearing tights and a skirt that would dry quickly, and not my jeans. I got up and continued my conversation with my friend as we carried on walking. No sense getting embarrassed about it. Shit happens. My DH says I'm shameless (which is why he always makes me complain in restaurants).

I also fell over whilst on a ski holiday this year. I fell over a lot on the slopes, but this particular time I was stood still, on a flat. I just leaned sideways... And kept going. My DH and our instructor were in hysterics. I had to get one of them to help me up. Still wasn't embarrassed though.

None. It has been said about me that I have 'no personal sense of embarrassment', and I don't think I do. Nothing embarrasses me.

brittabot · 07/03/2020 00:38

So many, and much worse than this but I will always remember going into school aged 6 dressed in own clothes for our farm visit which was a week later. I felt so mortified.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 07/03/2020 00:40

I've gone arse over tit many times. It's not embarrassing though. Why should it be?

Have posted this under a different username before. Invited new bf to my house for dinner. I was quite young (early 20s) and wanted to give the impression that I was dainty and feminine and didn’t eat very much.

I dished up dinner and gave him a significantly larger portion than myself. We sat down to eat and he was being a bit weird, but I carried on chatting away nervously.

I then looked at his plate then mine, and realised that I’d given him the small portion of food and I was sat there eating the massive one.

I never mentioned it, neither did he, and I never saw him again.

My DP's brother and his DP had just had a baby, I had only met her a handful of times before so felt a bit nervous, I was sat with her and the baby and meant to say she's going to be a thumb sucker because she was trying to get her thumb in her mouth, but instead I said she's going to be some fucker!
But the worst part was I didn't correct myself because I didn't realise until my DD was staring at me strangely and then I got a flashback in my head of what I just said and it was too late to bring it up 😩😂😂😂

Pricklypear12 · 07/03/2020 00:56

@mugoverandover that is hilarious, sat here cracking up!

Had sex with exH (he was still H at the time) and when finished he casually tossed the condom on the floor by the bed. Next morning he'd gone to work, I was tidying the bedroom and the condom was gone so I assumed he'd binned it.

A few days later we were sat in the living room with his mum, in strolls one of my cats with something hanging out of it's arse. I stupidly announced "OMG what's wrong with the cat, has it got some kind of prolapse". We all go to inspect the cat when it hits me, it's the condom! I grab the cat and rush into the kitchen and gently remove it (with a rubber gloved hand I might add). Thankfully exMil didn't follow me in and I said "I think it was some kind of tape worm but I've flushed it now" Grin No idea if she believed me, I don't think she'd have suspected what it really was though.

I promise that we always properly disposed of used condoms after that, I felt so sorry for my poor cat and realise how lucky we were that the cat didn't suffer too badly.

My first boyfriend and I were in his bedroom, making very enthusiastic sexy sex.

His dad came upstairs and hammered on the door, shouting, “what are you doing in there? You’re coming through the ceiling!”

CatAndHisKit · 07/03/2020 01:41

I was lifted up by my (now ex)H on the small dancefloor when we were at a very fancy London hotel for Valentine's Day.
We were in our 20s and he was a bit drunk and he was prone to do eccentric things like that after a drink, most of the crowd were middle-aged. He is generally quite clumsy even without the drnk - so when he was putting me down, he wasn't thinking about my flappy skirt!
The skirt got caught and drdagged up while I was saliding down, revealing my suspender belt and knickers 9well at least they were nice Grin) to all the other couples behind us AND those sitting at the tables by the small stage. Blush. Some people laughed, albeit in a well-mannered way. I was mortified! H was just 'oh well!'

Thinking back it wasn't too bad as I was young and it the lightling was subdued, but at that moment wanted the ground to swallow me (this was late 90s, before the total sexualisation of media and underwear as outerwear Grin )

This still wasn't the most embarassing moment, I had worse.

CatAndHisKit · 07/03/2020 01:42

sorry for typos gah!

Rayn · 07/03/2020 01:51

Mine is awful. We were at the seaside with my parents. I was a kid! There were some giant fish in the harbour and everyone was looking over the wall. I was shouting my dad and he wasn't listening so I jokingly gave him a kick up the bum to get him attention.

He turned round and it wasn't him!!!!
Mortified!!!

Rayn · 07/03/2020 01:54

Another one. My ex husband sent a picture to my work of the new baby!!
Baby has just been born and he sent a picture of him as he was delivered. Lovely picture of me holding him. Right on the corner of the picture was a close up of my nipple! The male team I worked with were in hysterics whilst I just cried!

As a teen, I was hitch hiking to visit my boyfriend for a weekend, and the visit was a surprise.
I was all glammed up, hair done, cutest outfit, ready to see him.

While waiting for a car to stop, it began to snow, those big fat, fluffy flakes that melt so quickly.

Soon enough, a fellow pulled up, and I hoped in. He gave me a few funny looks, but nothing scary like.
I told him I was on my way to see my boyfriend, and how surprised he would be to see me.
He nodded, made a comment about the poor weather, and offered me a tissue.
My nose was a tiny bit runny , so I used the tissue, pocketed it, and thought no more.

We chatted away, and after 30 minutes, I reached my destination, and he let me out.

I walked the last bit to the bf house, and he let me in, he bust out laughing. My make up had run (both the mascara and the blue liquid linerBlush) and I looked like an extra from a clown horror flick!

I once had fiancé sleep over at my old place when we started seeing each other. I can't remember the exact details of why it happened but I basically wet the bed before I was able to get up. I was so humiliated as I was consistently dry as a child and never had an issue of bed wetting once out of diapers. My mum felt so bad for me as she understood how humiliated I must feel as it was not something I ever had a habit of doing.

Going to sit down on a chair on a v swanky beach bar in Barcelona not realising that the chair wasn't in the decking properly and I went arse over tit on the chair. When I was about 15 I went to the corner shop on the way home from school - The crisps were all stacked in boxes from floor to ceiling. The ones I wanted were right at the top. I stood on my tiptoes to reach them lost my balance and fell into the whole tower of crisp boxes knocking them all over the floor 🤣🤣

Casino218 · 07/03/2020 04:49

I've got many but breaking bad news as a ward sister to a grieving family. I noticed they were all looking at my chest. I looked down and I had leaked breast milk all over my uniform. Obviously the emotional situation had triggered it.

Casino218 · 07/03/2020 04:54

@mugoverandover omg laughing my head off 😂

igotdemons · 07/03/2020 06:24

Going out with a friend to a Christmas themed party night in a local hotel, dressed up and wearing a pair of strappy high heeled sandals that I didn’t wear very often. My DH dropped me off in the hotel carpark - as I exited the car, I didn’t realise how slippery the tarmac was and went arse over tit as soon as my feet hit the floor! 😳 As if that wasn’t bad enough, other people who were also going to the same event happened to be arriving at the same time and witnessed me buggering over so I spent the entire evening with random people coming up to me and saying ‘Are you the person who fell over outside? Are you OK?’ all bloody night! 🤦🏻‍♀️😳😆

SimonJT · 07/03/2020 06:40

My partner at the time worked away and I hadn’t seen him for about four months. The night he arrived back in the UK was my new work places xmas do, it was free at a very very nice venue and an over night stay was thrown in. Me and my partner had a flatmate so we decided to take advantage of a free hotel. We went bed earlyish and caught up on four months of sex.

Next morning we were seated by room, so on one side was the CEO and the other side my boss. CEO and his wife said they didn’t sleep well, neither had boss.

I didn’t think anything of it until I sneezed and while packing and heard the CEO say “bless you”. We had been the reason they couldn’t sleep. I was absolutely mortified, my boyfriend thought it was hilarious. He would, he didn’t have to see them everyday!
