THE singular most embarrassing moment of your life?

[OlympicProcrastinator]

You know, the one that pops in to your head at 3am 15 years later and you can still feel the burning shame?

I’ll start. Met a client at work and introduced myself, asked their name. It was a fairly unusual name so began making small talk about it / origins, someone I used to know with same name etc etc. Then….for some reason I just completely forgot what we were talking about and followed it up with, “So anyway, you haven’t told me your name”. Que a look of bemusement then disdain from him as he shook his head and said, “I think you’d better go away now”. It was just so awful. I shuffled off.
I saw him a few weeks later with a friend and he was pointing and laughing at me. That was 20 years ago. I Still cringe.

There was a cracking one on here a few years ago where a woman had gone to a wedding she didn’t like and was slagging it off by text to her husband. Except it wasn’t her husband. She’d accidentally text the bride!! Who promptly told her she was blocked forever.

Anyone care to share theirs?

At a work (medical) conference at the NEC, my boss and I hadn't even stopped for lunch. At the end of the day there was an evening reception for more important people and as we had a couple of hours to spare before our train, we decided to gatecrash.
We nabbed a couple of bottles of wine (each) and sat on the floor behind a display, drinking and giggling like teenagers.
We were soon absolutely plastered and I can vaguely remember her trying to wash up our glasses in a mock up display kitchen sink and being puzzled as to why there was no water. Security escorted us to New Street station.

Working in internal recruitment department many years ago
and received a CV that was so awfully written it stood out — bad spelling, terrible grammar, massively boastful. I forwarded to a colleague saying something like’he’s got two hopes, no hope and Bob Hope’ — Yep- I hit reply instead of ‘forward’ . Served me right I guess . I felt totally terrible for weeks as I am actually a real people person .

I was staying in Spain for a few weeks and had met a guy, hooked up. It was a town where I know a few people, and met him in a pub with others (complete one night stand would have been less embarrassing). He was such a lovely sweet guy, and very hot.
Anyway, we fell asleep spooning. I woke myself up with the biggest fart of my life. Already mortified I wasn't sure if he was still asleep, so did a fake gentle snore/sleep sound...no idea why...felt him giggling behind me, whole body shaking to try to hold it in.
Not sure if that put him off, but we were only friends after that

Oh my goodness. The "I'm just an old man" story has absolutely got me

Was once shopping with a friend when I was about 15. Found a disgustingly ugly coat and thought it would be a laugh to reach out to take it off the hanger, all while commenting about how ugly it was and how I wanted to try it on as a joke. Of course it wasn't one of the shop's items and instead belonged to the lady standing next to us, who'd put it on a hanger while she tried another coat on

@Nannewnannew I am absolutely howling 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Going to a ver' posh wedding and coming out of the loos with my long floaty skirt stuffed in my knickers.

30 years ago and I still feel hot and sweaty thinking about it

When my dd was a baby and I was breastfeeding her she started to cough and choke I was terrified and made my other half call and ambulance. They arrived and the ambulance guy arrived and gave me an odd look. After I while I looked down and realized my top was still up and my boobs out ! In all the kerfuffle I'd forgotten to sort myself out !!!

Went skiing when I was young (13? I think). I lost control and down the slope, crashed in to the hut at the bottom where the staff worked. The lady shouted at me and said I wasn't allowed to go up again (as if I wanted to at that moment!!). Everyone staring at me.

Will never, ever ski again. Awful holiday 🤦🏻‍♀️

oh i forgot i had bookmarked this, its cheered up my day!

stayed at someone's house, they didn't have a lock on the toilet door i was probably around 13 at the time the thought someone could walk in was just to horrific! sooo i didn't go to the toilet the whole time i was there, until i went to bed that was! woke up in a puddle of piss. i couldn't confess to this shameful bed wetting so just made the bed and went on with the day and then went home.
i never thought about it again until, my parents had these people over for dinner and at the dinner table the wife said to my mum 'you work in a hotel what do you do when someone gets drunk and wets the bed it must be very expensive changing mattresses'. i knew what she was getting at i was mortified
