To ask what has been the most embarrassing moment of your life?

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

Went to a wedding in a taxi which included the groom's aunt and her lovely friend. When we got to the reception I went to have a look at the seating plan. I saw the name of someone on our table which I didn't recognise but which was fantastic - think something like Marigold Boggle (not the real name). I went back to the aunt and her friend and related this hilarious fact. You have guessed it - the friend said in a quiet voice 'that's me'. The worst thing was she was so nice about it - I really wished I could die on the spot.

As a teen, turning up at the wrong house for a fancy dress party.......
As an adult. My shoe falling onto the track as i was getting on a train. The elderly lady behind me saw it happen and shouted fir the guard, they held up the train while my shie was retrieved and presented to me. So many people were watching I wanted the ground to swallow me up!!!

rosegoldivy Whilst the rest are amusing I keep laughing out loud at yours. Amazing, especially the eye patch

Just thought of another really cringeworthy one - I do tarot readings and at a slightly merry house party was asked by the girlfriend of our housemate to do one for her. No problem, got the cards out, started my spiel about shuffling and then picking ten cards with the left hand which represents the subconscious...... she smiles a little awkwardly and says "I don't have a left hand" which didn't really compute for some reason - probably alcohol related - so I kind of did a "Eh ?What do you mean you don't have a left hand ?" response - at which point she shyly but graciously revealed she actually didn't have a left hand - nor a prosthetic - just a smooth stump. I did not know where to put myself - it was a lifelong thing so she was so adept at concealing it - coping without it - it had never been an issue and no-one had noticed it nor had it been mentioned. She was absolutely lovely about it, but I was mortified for months......

So many! Walking round DH’s home town with his 2 brothers on a down memory lane thing. Turned round a bit quickly, tripped on an inch high kerb, went down like a felled tree.

Stayed at a relative’s house one night and got up to see I’d started my period, big red stain on the lovely white sheets. Horrific.

Christmas shopping, running round town like a mad thing, fell over my own feet, hit my knee on the edge of a metal step. The pain was ridiculous. I hobbled out of B&M as fast as I could. Tons of people in there just standing gaping at the poor fool on the floor.

Swinging an incredibly hefty suitcase onto a train, I managed to miss the step with my foot and ended up in a half splits position with one leg behind me and one leg straight down the gap between the train and the platform. Luckily (or not!) there were lots of people around to help drag me out as I was completely stuck. Once finally on the train, I deliberately hobbled at least 4 carriages down so I wouldn't have to make eye contact with any of my rescuers...

Years ago... Fire alarm at our halls of residence at uni. Middle of the day. Everyone filed outside to wait for the all clear. All eyes turned to me and the guy I was with, standing in our dressing gowns, quite clearly caught mid-shag.

More recent one was director at work saying hello as he walked past my desk. I didn't process who it was properly and just gave a friendly smile and said casually "hello darling" like I do to most of my peers. It takes quite a bit to make me blush but my cheeks were crimson when I realised

Age 13 at the local leisure centre with friend. Somehow I shot out of a tube water slide with my swimming costume top completely down with one boob exposed!

aged mid thirties friends and I were in a well known in blackpool gay night club I had on a very short dress, went to the loo thought nothing of it till half an hour later a big drag queen walked over to me and in a booming voice said ere luv your dress is tucked up your knickers , total paranoia for the rest of the night there must have been 500 people in there you would think one of them could have told me quicker

Breast feeding ds.
Knock at the door.
Staggered, no dragged myself to the front door, I can’t even begin to tell you how tired I was.
Hair stuck up, dressing gown hanging off, I looked like a dead corpse.
Postie stood there offering out a parcel.
Drafty, yes drafts on my bulberous, white exposed boob hanging out greeting our poor postie.
Too tired to be embarrassed or anything otherwise I kinda just looked down at it then up at him, accepted the parcel, tucked in the boob and shut the door.
He didn’t run screaming from the house so probs seen boobage before.

Dd’s Primary school assembly. Parents sat on fold up chairs at the back. Right in the middle of the assembly my chair collapsed and about 200 kids turned to stare at me.
I am rather overweight but it actually collapsed because a nut or screw or something was loose.
I was mortified. As was poor dd.

I was feeling tired but coaxed myself to go out and wash my pvc gutters.
Got my bucket of soapy water and chair to stand on. Set the bucket on the tarmac and climbed onto the chair. I washed a bit of the pvc and as my cloth was dirty climbed down off the chair straight into the bucket of water. As the water gushed into my shoes and up my trouser leg like the Titanic I glanced around. No one around, you can style this out Tomorrow, no one’s saw you. I continue with the water dripping out of my shoe.
A few days later I meet my neighbour. “How you doing Tomorrow?” “We saw you out our window the other day and nearly wet ourselves. I said to my wife we could have made a fortune on YouTube if we’d managed to film you stepping into that bucket”.
I’m sure it was sheer coincidence a new car appeared in their drive a few weeks later!

Walking back from work one day wondering why it was so cold to realise my trousers had split.
Thankfully I had a jumper with me to tie round my waist. That was the last time I buy trousers from a market.

Had a small parcel to post so chucked it into my handbag and headed to the post office. I handed it over to the post office man with a couple of tampons attached, they hitched a ride on the sellotape from my bag. Mortified.

After a NYE party, 1994. Late, everyone has conked out. I go into the loo, switch the light on... and find myself in the host’s parents’ bedroom. They are mid shag. Doggy style, so they both saw me. I turn the light out and back out gracefully...

wouldnt say embarrassing as such as i was a bit out of it on drugs but after having son 2 he was that big my vagina and bits came out after him

he was 8 days over and a 14 hour labour and he kept getting stuck so they used a ventouse,after a few pulls he just about came out with a lot of struggling and my insides came out after him,my mother and the midwife was holding it in their hands

i had a 3rd degree tear in my bladder,bowel and the bit between the foof and bum hole was completely torn open and my bum hole was ruined

i had him at 10 past 11pm,by midnight i was in surgery having the lot put back together

baby was 9lb 11 and 27 inches

Got drunk in pub. Passed out. Undressed myself in my "sleep". Concerned strangers pulled my clothes back on. I was barred from pub.

I was on holiday and went down a very steep fast slide at a water park.

Water obviously went up the wrong way and I was leaking all the way to the toilet.

Luckily the water park wasn’t that busy at the time.

on a school skiing trip lost mercifully in the mists of the 80s, i once brought an entire mountain to a standstill.

we were on the button lifts and i was not concentrating, due to being in a permanent state of terror. i did not like skiing, and it did not like me. there was a small flattish stretch of snow, probably around halfway up, which seemed MUCH further up the mountainside.

i got off.

reader, it was not the getting-off place. not even a bit.

i panicked, and did the only thing i could think of, which was to sit on the ground. so the person on the button after me crashed into me, and the person after them crashed into us, and you get the general idea. eventually the carnage was such that they had to close the lift, and the slope, to disentangle everyone.

the horror.

it’s not even the worst thing i’ve ever done, but it still makes me shudder.

I threw up down the back of a helicopter pilot while flying over the Grand Canyon.
Lots of bits of cheese and champagne.
Was a long flight back ,I tell you .

Was in the airport in Alicante with ds1 (2 years old at the time) and ds2 (13m). Was breastfeeding ds2 when ds1 decided to run off. As I was on my own I had to go after him. So I’m running along to catch up with ds1 and ds2 wanted to know what was going on... so he pops off to have a look and leaves my breast on display for all to see. I had no free hands to cover up as I was still holding ds2 and also pulling a suitcase

In our French office, working away busily at my computer. The big boss comes over to greet me with the usual kiss on the cheek and I absentmindedly kissed him on the lips instead. We both recoiled in horror.

@aWeaponCalledtheWord I am crying with laughter

That’s better than Bridget Jones!

I was sleeping over at my ex's dorm. I dreamt that I was bursting for a wee and so in the dream I wee'd. Except I woke up during the dream wee and I was actually pissing in the bed!!!

Got on a tube train. I was early twenties. Slightly older bloke sat opposite. I realised his flies were undone. Spent several stops wondering whether to ignore or point out. Decided to be brave and as I got out very quietly indicated he had a problem. I blushed, he blushed more. I got off the train feeling glad I'd told him to spare him further embarrassment but deeply deeply grateful to live in a city of millions so he'd never see me again.

Next morning, waited in a different spot on the platform, just in case.

Sat down, glanced up.

We both blushed all the way to my stop!

Thankfully never saw him again.
