walking into a wall while telling my girlfriend how hot she looks.

bitching at the drive thru guy saying " I ordered 3 burgers and there is only 2 in the bag", and he takes the bag and says " look, one two three, anything else sir".

a woman asked me to guess her age ( by the way, I will never play this trivia again)
so I say " hmmmmmmmm, 42"?
she says " im 33".
 
I just talked about this one with Doozer yesterday :reject:


A couple of years ago, the women in our family got together to drive to Vegas for a bachelorette party for Doozer and Mr. BAW's older sister. We were caravanning in a van and a car and pulled into a truck stop to gas up. The van I was riding in was pulled to the side waiting while the other car was gassing up.

I noticed Doozer's then girlfriend get out to pump gas in a big purple coat and forgetting that someone in the front seat had my video camera out taping, I said loudly "oh my God, look at her...she looks like Barney!" The whole van cracked up laughing until we realized it was caught on tape and everyone else would want to see it when we got home :eek:

Oh I have many embarrassing moments. :reject:


I just got out of school for the day and I was talking to someone while walking backwards. I ended up on the ground because I crashed into a parking meter. :reject:

From the mouths of babes...from the bigger mouths of babe's dad....

Doozer had a friend, a very close friend...didn't work, knew everything about the world but the fact that she wasn't employed kinda drove me nuts...our kids were small...the youngest one overheard me refer to Doozer's friend as "Donna, Donna Do-Nothing!"

So wouldn't you guess....there comes a day when we get together at A.'s house..I don't know WTF led to this but they start asking about names...Daniel asks Donna, "what's your last name?" she tells him...he asks again, she responds a second time.....

Like a typical 5-year old, Daniel blasts out..."No its not, Rick says your name is Donna Do-Nothing!" :lmao: :eek:

Mouths agape to say the least!

Damn, we raised a bunch of blabbermouths, didn't we? :eyebrow:


Daniel, age 3 at Olive Garden: Rick's DRUNK!

Javier, age 7, walking through a restaurant bar: Hey Rick, are those people barflies?



:mad: :lmao:

in the 8th grade we were playing football on the basketball courts. i was standing right next to a metal pole, and i turned to run really fast to catch a football . . . and i ran straight into a pole. hit it square with my left temple. it hurt really bad, and i had a terrible headache all day, but it was actually kind of funny. while i was on the ground my friends were trying not to laugh. i think i even suffered some memory loss from that. a mild concussion, no doubt :huh:
 
I have a few....but I remember one very clearly...I was in the 7th grade...I was in my 8th Period Class.....and I had to go to the bathroom badly cause I felt sick...well, I barfed all over the hallway and into the bathroom where I barfed on both the sink and toliet (not at the same time of course). Luckily no one was around when I actually did it...but I felt soo embarrassed that I stayed in that bathroom until the bell ran...and as soon as I got out...I saw a lot of people cleaning up my mess...which made me feel even more embarrassed!

I have another one...but it was when I was very young (2-3 years old) and I had a Chrismas Tree falling on me as soon as my mom got out...but I don't count that as a true embarssing moment...cause it was my own :censored: fault for playing with it in the first place!
 
Speaking of kids that cant keep their mouths shut.
I was in the bathroom with my mom in I think McDonalds one day. I had recently watched what about bob with my dad and I had a few questions about words in the move.
So Im standing outside my moms stall and theres lots of other women in there and I ask her
"mom. whats a douche bag?"
:banghead: my poor mom. she told me she would tell me later. so I asked her
"mom, whats a dingleberry?"
:tsk: she was so embarrassed. Now every time one of those words comes up around us we laugh together
 
Has anyone ever taken the Myers-Briggs assessment? It's a personality test. It assigns one of two letters in 4 categories to describe your personality. For example: E or I (extrovert or introvert). The final category is J or P (judging or perceiving).

I did the assesment when I was in college with a group of about 20 people. When we were reviewing the results, the person who administered the test was reading, from a book, the different characteristics that corespond with each letter. When she got to the last one, "P" for perceiving, I was amazed at how well the book was describing me. I matched up completely with it's description of "P" personality! So when she finished reading and the room fell silent, I blurted out, "Man, they could write a book about my P-ness!" :silent:

I immediately realized what I had said and just stood up wide-eyed and put my hand over my mouth. Then the room errupted in laughter.

the most recent one I can think of- I was on a computer at a public library and because I'm a careless typist..I was trying to type in msn.com and I got man.com instead. It's some sort of porn site so of course this uh big warning thing popped up

I think I remember you mentioning this in another thread (probably about four years ago), and I still remember it because it's one of the best embarrassing stories I've ever heard. :laugh::up:

OMG!!! That is my nightmare!!! I know this is about TRUE embrarrassing moments but every since I bought my September tickets I have had nightmares that I get pulled up on the stage with Bono and my pants split open -and all the guys are frozen in horror as 20,000 ppl are laughing at my ares:crazy:
 
Don't worry Carmel.... I have it on good authority that Bono is a true gent and would offer you his jacket to wrap around your waist :wink:
 
years ago I was my orchestra was giving a concert. I was in the violin section and sitting next to someone I didn't no very well.

to make conversation I was just prattling along. There was this guy just walked in, and I said to the girl next to me 'oh god look at the state of that bloke - he looks like a mad einstein. And just look at the state of his clothes blah blah blah blah blah.

(You know what's coming......)

She didn't say anything so I just continued prattling on about how ridiculous this bloke looked. She finally turned round to me and said 'that's my dad'


:eek:
 
I get REALLY nervous reading aloud and absolutely hate it because my eyes and brain usually get ahead of my mouth, so I misread/skip/combine/mangle words. When I was around ten or eleven years I had to read a passage from Acts in church.

When I got to the verse that says, "For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth," I said "genitals" instead of "Gentiles." :reject::eek:
 
My English boyfriend...we were at Rules in London and he went to give me a ring and we had been having a few and as he starts his speech he has ring out....falls flat on his face in the floor....Susan

this one is my favorite!
 
The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me, was when i clogged the toilet in the hotel during my eight grade d.c trip, and i had to call room service because we didn't have plunger, and they sent this guy up, who came with a high tech looking machine, and spent a good ten minutes in battle with the toilet. Anyways, that was pretty bad:reject:
