To ask about your most embarrassing stories ever?

[navteexo]

I walked into Starbucks yesterday and slipped on my backside infront of everyone. No matter how much i tried to laugh it off, it was so bloody embarrassing. People just awkwardly acted like they didnt see it lol! Urgh

Whats yours?

Oh and on another school run I was in my work clothes, wearing a pencil skirt with a zip up the back. The zip decided to fail me and the skirt came apart and I barely caught it before it hit my ankles. I had to stand a few yards from the school holding what was left of it together at the back to cover my arse and ring my DP to come and pick me up. He didn't have a car at the time just a motorbike ..... I had to basically climb on with my knickers out. Bloody wardrobe mishaps.

When my kids were 3 and 5 I was one of the younger moms at the nursery school, mid 20s compared to late 30s. I already felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb. Then one day I was clearing my wardrobe and found my old goth clothes. I had a few hours till pick up sp I dressed myself up and played with my make up. Suddenly before I knew it I was running late! No time to change or wipe the make up off. I felt like I was doing a walk of shame running into the nursery in a corset, fish nets, chokers and chains, 5 inch high coffin platforms and huge back brushed hair and a face like Edward Scissorhands! My son burst into tears when he saw me and my daughter clapped and said "mommy is an evil witch!" Oops.

As a teenager on work experience in an office. I’d say around all morning and no one really knew what to do with me. They eventually decided I could be trusted on a tea run. The kitchen was upstairs and I was so determined to get it right that I spent ages setting it all out on the tray and feeling very pleased with myself. Then on the way back down I thought I was at the bottom of the steps so took a step forward without realising there was actually one more step. I stumbled, got tea all over my white shirt which then went see through and smashed several of the cups.

Even more mortifying was the first aid lady insisted on me taking my shirt off and checking my chest to see if it was scalded. She did it in a side room but I was a very flat chested teenager and I used to stuff my bra with toilet roll. She very kindly pretended not to see all the soggy, tea soaked bog roll sticking out of my bra. I was too mortified to return and had to write an apology letter saying how I’d let them down and I wasn’t a true representation of my school. I still can’t think about it without dying a bit.

I was in Inverness trying to cross the road. Decided to leap frog a fence. Splatted face first in the middle of a traffic island with four lanes of cars on each side. I couldn't get up I was just so embarrassed.

You wouldn’t believe this but I had the exact same story.. Cornwall caravan park age 6/7 all the caravans looked the same was playing outside with my sister who ran off I assumed she went back inside but didn’t quite remember where our caravan was. Eventually walked into one and saw it had the same sofas etc so I thought right well this is ours.. walked into the bedroom to find it empty.. I was so upset we’d just arrived and now we had to leave soo soon! So I’ve pulled out all the suitcases I’ve found under one of the beds to unpack... an old lady and her husband walk in and offer me a marmite sandwich. I ran out of there so so fast!

Another story a couple of years ago in a busy que in H&M with bf. I’ve got a front zip skirt on that has like a key ring hoop on the zip. Bf was buying a pair of shorts on a hanger and thought it would be amusing to hang them on my zip. You guessed it the zip broke the skirt fell off while I stood in the que in a pair of thongs 🙃 I’m sure the guy behind me got a lovely view! thankfully managed to hold the skirt around me to cover just enough while bf went to find a pair of jeans and the lovely lady let me wait in the changing rooms 🤣😭 @

@GetTheSprinkles

the front wheel slipped over the raised edging of the pavement onto the muddy border of the woods and I fell in slow motion into the mud and bushes while still sitting on it

Oh this is comedy gold

I had a meeting with my boss on my new team members first day to introduce them to eachother. I was in super confident upbeat manager mode to show off my excellent hiring skills to my boss, and show off to my new team mate (who was also a friend from a previous job) how well regarded I was by the directors. I finished the meeting by saying "let's get cracking then!" or something equally gobshite and strode confidently into the glass sliding door to the office. It made this sonorous "thwunnnnngggggg" noise and the whole open plan office outside turned to look. My boss juuuuuust about kept a straight face and asked if I was hurt, friend/team-mate was clearly about to have some sort of hysterical fit, I just trilled "oh I'm fine!" and hurried out MORTIFIED. It took about ninety years for my friend to stop laughing and we still laugh about it now. I think it actually left a make-up stain like when a bird flies into a skyscraper.

Passed out in pub after excessive wine consumption.

Stripped off in my "sleep".

A wedding party sort of shielded me as my friends dressed.

I got thrown out of the pub and then decided to get into a fist fight with a former Royal Marine. He was six foot four and I am five foot. Afterwards, he said it was like being batted by a fly. Luckily, he is a good friend of mine.

My husband was summoned to take me home and arrived just when I was squatting down and having a very public wee wee in the park.

Wanted to die of shame the next day.

Name changed (because bloody hell!)

Got caught wanking when I was 12ish by my dad in the living room when he came home early. Threw the ahem "helping hand" that I was using down the back of the sofa but he saw the movement and went to look for it. When he saw what it was he immediately got a shocked expression, stared at the ceiling for a few seconds and said something along the lines of "Right, I'll let you get on then ..." and dashed upstairs!

Beat that!

*dressedme

*dressed me!

Jeez

I love fancy dress and have absolutely no problem being the only person doing it. Dressed up as Snow White, wig and all, for a charity dress up/down day at work. Not only did I get the wrong day, I didn't even realise at first because I knew most people weren't going to be dressing up, so I just carried on as normal. Took an embarrassing amount of time before I noticed they weren't dressed down either.

Want to stay with friends from the internet at their house. Had a bath. As I stepped out my period started all over their white bath mat...

@flyingspaghettimonster That is literally the best thing I have ever read on Mumsnet (from one ex goth to another, I bet you looked great )

I just got to say I love reading all these embarrasing but funny as fuck.

Thank you for that

Glad I am not the only one who has occassions made a right tit of myself 😂😂😂

A few years ago we were walking in the woods and my kid (ahead of us) found a hunting horn in a bush! I didn’t realise until she was blowing it repeatedly (she thought it was a trumpet 😂)

Cue a whole pack of foxhounds appearing followed by furious huntsman as he thought we were hunt sabs blowing a decoy horn to get his hounds off the trail 😳😳😳

Once I explained he was very jolly about it and kindly took the horn off DD (apparently he’d lost it a week earlier and thanked her graciously for finding it!)

I nearly passed out with embarrassment when the hounds appeared though!

Another rural one; I was riding a friend’s young horse, who didn’t have great brakes.

We galloped up a hill and erm galloped down it instead of stopping, over a few brush fences, over a field of crops then finally he decided to slide down a steep bank into a stream! As he slid to the bottom of the bank he did a huge unexpected leap up the other side, I fell off in the water and mud! Then we had to chase him through the woods for hours. Luckily he was fine but friend rides him in a gag snaffle now!

The one about the knickers in the hood at pre-school is the funniest ever!

@hangingover that really made me laugh thank you 😂

@MaryBear

Was enjoying a lovely weekend away with then BF. Decided to make use of the jacuzzi. Sat chatting in there for a while with the bubbles doing their thing and having a lovely time. Decided it was time to get out and BF let me go 1st with him close behind. The bubbles must have gone right up my fanny cos as I was climbing out I let out a massive fanny fart within inches of BF face. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't stop the farting. Luckily he found the funny side but I was embarrassed as well as uncontrollably laughing. Not my finest moment.

Pissing myself laughing at this, brilliant

Rather than go to my regular girl for an all over bikini wax I decided to do it myself, little did I realise that she used just wax rather than the big patches, I stuck one on the top, ripped it off, fine, then the next one went underneath, and stuck it in the wrong place, I ripped it off and split my nunny open, blood pouring everywhere, I had to go to A&E where they glued it back together, could hear them all sniggering about never having seen anything like it before

Primary school introduction tiny room parents all stood round huge table .18 month old on my hip and holding 4 year old dc hand I don’t know what happened but in a spilt second smaller dc managed to grab hold of my t shirt and bra and somehow flipped out all my worldly goods for everyone to see , dc wouldn’t let go of my hand so I was stood with my boobs out in full view of the new terms intake of parents and children . Still makes me want to cry 10 years later

These are amazing!

FIL and Step-Mother IL stayed in the spare room to watch our children one night as DH and I had to travel for a funeral. We got back the next day and found a few things out of place in our room. SMIL had gone through every drawer and cupboard in our bedroom and left a note saying she'd found a disturbing box under our bed and my lingerie in the wardrobe and said she was horrified at our 'interests' and my 'sluttiness' and reminded us that sex is for reproduction. She had also moved the things from my bedside table and dressing table into the spare room and suggested I sleep in there from now on to help DH control himself!

However we noticed two items were missing from 'The Box'...

My DH and I used to commute to the same city for work. We drove in together and he dropped me at my work. At the end of the day I met him outside his work and we drove home. He always parked in the same place and 1 day I got into a car of the right colour with a man sitting inside waiting ... Only it wasn't our car and I suddenly spotted him killing himself laughing in our car parked a few spaces away.

I used to teach in a school that was set out over 2 floors. Each floor had the same layout , a central hall with classrooms around it and a staircase at each end linking the two. I was upstairs and about to go down one staircase when I heard the head's voice at the bottom. I was avoiding him for some reason, so turned around to go the other staircase when I heard the voice of a parent talking to some one as he came up it. This particular parent only ever came into school to complain, so with great presence of mind I leapt into a cupboard on the landing and congratulated myself on my narrow escape. Unfortunately, he had come in to say that he wasn't happy about the costume his child was wearing in the nativity play and I was in the cupboard where the costumes were kept. Another member of staff was bringing him to the cupboard to see what else we had. I was praying and praying that they wouldn't open the door , but of course they did . I decided to style it out, smiled brightly, said Good afternoon and got myself to the staffroom as quickly as I could!
