I just saw this on msn:

When Salma Hayek first got to Hollywood, she didn?t know what an agent was. ?My friend explained that an agent is someone who finds you work,? Hayek told the Calgary Sun. ?She told me there were three major agencies, and I asked her which of the three was closest to where I lived. She said it was the William Morris Agency. So, I called 411 and asked for the number. When the girl at the agency answered, I asked to speak to William Morris. She hung up on me. I called back and asked for him again. She said he was dead and then hung up. So, I called back and asked to speak with Mr. Morris?s son. She hung up. I called back and asked to speak to whoever?s in charge. She hung up. I called back and yelled ?Bitch!? and hung up on her.?

I actually did something sorta like this - I needed new tires a few years ago, I was talking to my brother-in-law about it and he gave me the business card for the tire place he goes to. He scribbled a note on it for me but I didn't look at it at the time. A few days later I go call and ask to speak to a Kelly Radial (i said it like rah-die-all) - this is what my BIL had written on the card! The lady is like, uh , 'scuse me, who? And i said I'm looking for Kelly Radial, she pauses for a minute, and finally says, there's no one by that name that works here, but that does sound like a tire we sell..........
I was sooooo embarrassed.
So, i don't know if this has been done before/recently (if it has, I humbly accept 50 lashes with a wet noodle), but anybody willing to share their most embarrassing moment?
*This* story was not the worst, I have a more embarrassing one I'll save for later.......
