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 Blush lol! Urgh

Whats yours?

I went to get a bottle of wine from the local garage (rural and the garage do sell quite decent wine). On the way out, I got to my car, opened the passenger door to put the wine on the seat...only it wasn’t my car.

To be fair it was the same colour as mine (although it was an estate rather than a little hatch back).

Years ago, I was a young temp on the first day of my first job. I was sitting at my desk and the manager was standing next to showing me how to fill a stapler. I sneezed and coughed at the same time and a large glob of green phlegm landed on the back of his hand. I didn't go back the next day.

I was working abroad as an au pair in Germany when i was 17 and was terribly homesick as it was my first time away. My German was very basic and I was feeling really lonely. I was staying away for a few days with the very 'proper' and well mannered upper crust parents of my employer and was mortified when i woke up in the morning and I had wet the bed! Full, soaking wet bed right through to the mattress. I had not been drinking, taking drugs etc, I can only assume I was so upset and homesick that it happened. I didn't know what to do with myself , absolutely mortified with embarrassment. i didn't even know how to say it in German! To her credit, the grandmother in the family was the person I bumped into first when i went downstairs and she was incredibly sweet and discreet about what had happened and made sure nobody else from the family saw when I bundled all the bedding down to the laundry.

Oh god there was a similar thread a while back in here and a post from a woman who was dressed as a company mascot who got on a funeral bus by accident? It was HILARIOUS

@Magickl and @Hangingover your stories have crying with laughter - thank you! Grin

I took a new job which was a step up, found myself leading a meeting in front of the whole office. I'd been stood up to present but misjudged the sitting-back-down...Completely fell off my chair and landed in a heap on the floor Blush

I farted during a bikini wax once 😳 the rip & subsequent pain made me flinch and I lost control

I had the plastic bit that attaches a bra strap to the main bra snapped during a night out on holiday. It was a new bra and a little tight. I am large chested so it was fairly noticable that one boob was much higher than the other. Several bar staff took it in turns to try fixing my bra with various methods. You couldn't just be sewn because it needed the broken part to hold the strap. A small crowd of customers got involved adding suggestions. In the end someone (staff) found some thick string. Which was threaded through the loops of the strap and the main bra. Luckily I had, had a few drinks so the embarassment didn't fully hit until the next day. I now make sure my bras have metal fixings.

As a student, myself and 2 friends got very drunk one night. We managed to walk home but couldn’t get up the steep grass verge leading to our front door (there was a path but we were too drunk to find it in the dark!)

So the 3 of us scrabbled up this steep muddy bank on hands and knees trying to get to our house, my friend was vomiting in a bush and other friend was wailing about needing an ice axe as it was so slippery! She also lost her shoe and thought it was a ski.

I’ll never forget the look on our neighbour’s face when he came out to see what the commotion was 😳😂

Ski holiday in Austria, group of friends (mostly male, I was one of two females). We went to a spa in our swimwear and got told to take it off!

No swimwear allowed in the spa, you had to be naked and only got one small towel each.

So we went into the sauna, giggling and trying to cover up our bits with tiny towels, to find about 20 naked people. They clearly didn’t care and thought we were weird for trying to hide our bodies!

I farted once as I left the drs room. I think I was more mortified because it was a 'silent' one. And we all know what that means Grin

I went out with a tour manager once and he’d let a band come back to stay at his for the night. We were all extremely drunk so I think it saved my embarrassment slightly but I was sitting on the toilet completely naked when one of the band members stumbled in. They’re a metal band so not super well known but still on the scene. Died a little inside. The door didn’t lock and the toilet was too far from the door to hold.

I also once asked my best friend to stand by a train toilet door and tell people it was occupied because the lock was broken. For whatever reason he failed to do this and in walked a man as I was changing my sanitary towel... Died.

I once borrowed my older sister's cowboy boots for my ballroom and latin dance lesson (what was I thinking?! At least they were hidden under my jeans). They were old and well worn; the instant my foot hit the dance floor I slipped and fell over backwards Blush.
Another time, also at dance lesson, my dancing partner asked if I was wearing a new top. I was pleased he noticed and beamed. Then he burst out laughing, saying "I know it's new because the tag is still attached!" Confused
