Wow, I can't believe I didn't put one of the strangest days in my life on here. Just recently, around three weeks ago, the science museum where I work was having a grand party because of the opening of a new wing (It's goregeous and huge!).

There were tables spread throughout the whole museum where people would line up and get food. I was already starving and I had an hour break. So I line up and find some cheesecake. I grab a huge slice of it because cheesecake is one my favoritest food. I'm with a couple of friends while I was holding my plate full of food. I tell them, "Wait, give me time to eat my cheesecake!" with my mouth filled with food. My friend Dustin informs me, "Joe, that's not cheesecake. It's cheese." And my circle of friends all have a good laugh.

I still cannot live it down as of now. Sometimes, when a friend passes by, they whisper "cheese".

It does not make it any better that the same day, a waitress had offered some crab cakes. I reach my hand in and grab what I perceived to be a crab cake. "No." the waitress tells me, putting down the slice of lime I had picked up. "This is a crabcake" she said as she showed it to me.

Later on, someone had tried to shock me with one of those "shockers". It's disguised as a lighter but if you touch it, you get a jolt in your hand. (Do you guys know what I"m talking about?) And I end up backing up into a wall and spilling ginger ale on my pants.

To top it all off, while doing a head count of employees, I kept messing up the numbers because the person sitting next to me kept saying a number when he was actually a friend of an employee and not really working there. I ended up the day with everybody doubting my counting abilities.

^^lol! yeh i get my numbers mixed up a lot too!!

egh. Today I had to wear an old pair of jeans to school (nothings wrong with them, its just that the laundry wasn't finished yet and I wasn't about to wear a knee-length skirt in this weather)
I spend the whole time walking around, nothings wrong, right? wrong. So, around 6th period I realize that people having been staring at my..er...backside a more than even a really rude person would. I get home and I realize that I must have satin something at lunch or whatever and a had quite a few brown spots on the seat of my pants... It looked really--sucipious. And to think none of my friends stopped to tell me, at least then I could have put a jacket around my waist or something! Oh well. (they really need a good blushing smiley here...)

poor taks! yeh i had something on the back of my pants before. it wasnt lunch though...it was my "time"...so yeh. that was very embarresing.(agrees with taks about the blushing smiley)

O that happened to my friend once. Her 'time' leaked through and she was wearing tan pants too. It's never happend to me luckily.
Could this one make a good embarrassment smiley? hmm.

Maybe this?: *blushes*

Naaaahhhh....oh well . I haven't had an embarrassing moment all week *gasp* unless you count this

Orangephoenix runs up the stairs to the second floor, taking the steps two at a time, hoping not to be late to class since the clock by the stairs said one minute 'till the bell.
She trips and sprawls out on the stairs.

Bob (this is one of my hotter guy friends and Bob isn't his name but it's a cool name so I'm using it ): Nice going 'orangephoenix'!

Orangephoenix jumps up and attempts miserably to look "natural", rubbing her head.: Thanks Bob!

Looking at my post I see it doesn't look all too embarrasing or funny (which it was). Sigh, I guess you had to be there .

I didn't get late to my class either. The stupid clock was fast! I had five minutes before I would've been tardy! Argh!!!
But oh well, that's the story of my life lol.

lol haha, poor orangephoenix I hate it when those evil school clocks are fast--or slow for that matter.

My Embrassing Moment for last week:
I was having one of the worst day ever. In only about 3/4 hours I had:
Overslept- and almost missed the school bus
Put my shirt on backwards--and walked out the door that way
Gotten in trouble with a teacher-- I had to go in early the next morning... ugh
Lost my folder- with two of my projects in it (well info for them) one of the projects was a group one-- boy did they get mad
Lost my pass- to ride home on the bus with a friend, luckliy the bus driver let me on anyways, because I didn't have my spare key

then in Science my teacher was explain one of the terms (something to do with cells) with a visual aid--the aid being a water ballon. He tosses the water balloon to Taylor, it goes to high, breaks when it hits the light fixture and crashes down on me, Adam and Micah.
So I'm having a bad day then there is water all over my notes and my books and all in the front seat of my pants.

I go into Band class-late- none of the Band members are in my Science class so they start laughing about my pants being soaked... It wasn't very funny! It was just embrassing...

Of course the day doesn't get any better low test grades, miss my bus stop, fights on the bus so I can't get off. All of this in the wet pants because they were blue jean and don't dry well...

I'm back!

brknpromisesx - Oy, those are one of the many reasons I'm glad I'm a guy! Woohoo!

orangephoenix, yeah, you really have to hold on to the handrails! I've probably slipped either going up or down the stairs. Either way is embarrassing. There are times when you just fall down the stairs and you land on your rear end, having it hurt the rest of the day. Or, if you're going up the stairs, and things like your tennis racket slips smoother than a slinky while everybody triest to catch it while it rushes past them.

taks, I'm sure we all have bad weeks, our bad days. My week has been semi-horrible too, so I feel for you. I have no idea if you have a good science teacher or not, but I'm starting to doubt his intelligence. Unless he was planning to get his students wet, why would you throw a water balloon at someone? (let alone let it hit the light! there's a chance of electrocution). Maybe you should keep an extra pair of clothing in the locker in case of emergencies.

Hey, you lost your folder, but at least it's not your bookbag. I knew a person who once had her bookbag in the car, and it flew out of the car window. I guess she was being careless or something.

Yes, we've all had our share of oversleeping and putting clothes the wrong way, losing things, getting in trouble and of course, the major one, getting embarrassed. But other people have it worse, so I guess we all feel better in the end.

Okay, okay, or you can just not let anything faze you. (that's a nicer conclusion)

Aw, taks! *hugs* Poor you! That's even worse than me on my worst days- wow!
brkn promises: Ohh, that really sucks. I always wear blue jeans tho, they're kind of the only pants I have. They may look the same to you but really, there's light light blue, light blue, lightish blue, lightest blue, blue, true blue, darker than true blue but not dark blue, dark blue, darker blue, darkest blue, darkerest blue, darkerester blue, darkeresterer blue (I can go on forever so I better shut up now )

Wow, orangephoenix..that's a lot of shades of blue you got there! Haha!!

I'm so evil...I've just been sitting here nearly falling off my chair laughing at all you poor guys' stories, thinking of all the times I've been in those situations myself...... Which I really shouldn't.....because karma is pretty instant with me.....

But I can totally understand that...er....'time'....problem.......you would not believe how paranoid I am about that.....thankfully, it's never happened....yet...**knocks on wood**.....but that doesn't stop me from constantly checking....how incredibly embarrasing would that be?!!! I mean, the girls would understand and sympathise - they might have a laugh - but they would sympathise, but the guys..... OMG.....

And you'd always be remembered for that, wouldn't you? No matter what else you might do....for example, there was this girl in my class in junior school who...er...had an accident...I can still see the puddle on the floor now, and I still see her around sometimes...she's married, got kids and everything, but I still remember that one day in junior school...... LOL.....how mean am I? I can't help it...I guess it's just human nature to remember these things, huh?

Oh, I'm soooo going to suffer for saying this....I'll let you know when karma decides to get me back.........

If it makes you feel any better though, I got told off in a lab class the other day for chewing gum.....my lecturer said I shouldn't be eating in class and I was like, 'huh? I'm not eating.....' Then I realised he meant the gum and I said, 'Oh, the chewing gum?' And he looked at me like I was the biggest cretin on the face of the planet and said, 'Well, either it's gum, or one of your molars has come loose.' I went the colour of beetroot and everyone was snickering......I felt about two inches tall.....

Quite an achievement, that....27 years old and being told off for chewing gum in class.....

i had a embarrassing/pianfull moment the othe day
i was being a idoet swinging on my belly well my body kept moving up on the swing and i findly fell off and landed on my head roll on my back got up took abou three steps fell over agin got up got three hugs and talked over to a pickent table and wanited intell i could talk in a stirant line
yeah that hurt real bad but not nearly has much as when i rode my dirtbike in to a wall

I feel horrible- I snicker every time I read this forum's posts. I'll be laughing then I'll feel bad for someone then I'll shut up altogether since I've come to one of my posts...

Anyway, I laugh because a lot of stuff here sounds like what me and my friends- or really, anyone at school- do(es) practically every day.

It's so hilarious when it's not happening to you . You're always told to laugh something off but it's really hard, especially when you've got a face like mine that blushes at the absolute worst times and it turns beet red and yeah..... .

We've never had anyone faint though. . I do remember that one time one of my friends was about to throw up (this is really nasty I pity the janitors) in phys ed but the coach thought she was lying so he wouldn't let her go to the nurses' or something so finally she just threw up on the floor. *shudders*.

Oh yeah, haha. Friday in math class we were working on the laptops on some project and we had all gotten out the laptops (I actually managed to do it without screwing up the wires *yey!*) and I had turned mine on and was trying to put in the password except it kept on coming up 'incorrect'! I knew I had the right password and was trying it out again for what seemed like the fiftieth time when this guy who sits next to me leans over and says, "Dude. You got my computer. Go get your own, alright? Sheesh." Yeah, that was embarrasing, the whole class heard and I'm s'posed to be pretty good with computers in the first place .

Well, in gym 2 days ago, I had to punt a football. And, umm, lets just say that I can't do it that well. When it was my turn to punt in front of the class, I dropped the ball. Then when I went to try again, it flew about, umm, 3 inches away from me. To top it all of, the teacher kept trying to explain to my what I did wrong. I was so amd, and embarrassed. I hate gym, and my gym teacher.

Oh, I did too.....we used to write each other notes to get out of it when I was in school. Of course, being a girl, I was at a huge advantage anyway because all you had to say was that you had period pains, and hey presto! No gym class!!

Gym teachers are such sadists though....I reckon they've all got chips on their shoulders because they never hit the big leagues.....teaching was all they could get...

In fairness to gym teachers though, they're not all like that. I had one who was......nah, you know, strike that. They're all sadists....

ooh i know! it is very easy to get out of gym because of periods (thankgod) yeh we had to swim in gym and i didnt want to so i just told my gym teacher that i was having a bad case of cramps, and she was like alright go sit over there and i was like yes!! lol well this didnt happen to me but to a girl in my class. she was having her period and she didnt have any pads or tampons and she didnt know what to do. i told her to go to the nurse but she was just sitting there. i was like what wrong with her?? then when you got up, the whole chair was covered with her....you all know what. everyone in class saw it, the teacher (male teacher) and the students. i felt soo bad for her. but it was stupid of her not to be prepared or anything, you know? it is good to know that you guys (or should i say girls) can relate to all this lol!!

and jeff you dirtbike in to a wall?? ouch!!

Lol, this has turned into a special discussion with particular moments during "that time". Let's just say I didn't expect that.

You know, I think I've just figured out why I hated gym so much....most of my embarrasing moments seemed to have occured during gym classes, now I'm thinking about it....

There was one time when we were doing warm up sessions before a netball game and we had to do leap-frog thingies using our mates as vaults....I'm not particularly agile like that and my ankle caught my mate's backside, she fell, I fell, and I landed on top of her hand and broke two of her fingers.......

Then there was the time I did a chest-pass in netball when the girl I had to pass it to was way too close to justify a chest-pass, but I really hated her coz she was the school bimbo and she had a head the size of a blimp, so I really put some force behind it and ended up breaking one of her fingers too.....

Then there was a hockey game once where I whacked the ball so hard that the stick slipped from my fingers and went cartwheeling through the air, missing the blimp's head by inches....

**tee hee**

I'm not a violent person, honest....I really don't enjoy breaking people's fingers and hurling hockey sticks at their heads.....

McDonalds restaurant's seem to be a bit of a no-go area for me these days too, though....since I..er....overestimated the distance between the bollard protecting the drive-thru window and the side of my car....and ended up not just scraping it but buckling both doors and causing over five hundred quids worth of damage....much to the amusement of the snickering, spotty little kid who took my order.... Needless to say, I kind of lost my appetite after that.....

OMG, Louise....some finger-breaker you are, huh? I really pity those who had to partner with you in gym class. Nah, you're really alright...those are only two incidents you had (or do you have more? ... ) Gym class can be really dangerous sometimes, and accidents do happen.

You know, I wasn't much a sporty person meself! In fact, I often get this kind of twitchy whenever the bell rings for gym class...

I remember the time when I was at school and the teacher was looking for a participant in high jump. She made all of us tried even though you told her you're not good in it.

So, there I was, some distance away and preparing to make a jump and....let just say I'm not a good jumper. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I ran straight up and smash myself to the pole and landed with a loud thump on the mattress. Okay, so it wasn't that embarrasing (but my friends thought otherwise... ), more like a painful moment... but every time I think back about it, I would simply smile away, you know... yeah, school memories...(and when you're at uni level, you'd wish you can go back to school years eh? )

Me and my best friend got separated in class last Tuesday for ‘talking constantly’ so we had two options we could send notes flying across the room to one another or use the good old text messaging service we both have on are cell phone’s /mobiles. Of course she being the more practical one decided to text me and so it began…

“Iam just sat here looking at Mr G’s skin falling off his arms…oh its so hot”

Was her first message…of course I laughed and wrote:

“Have you noticed that Mr G’s got no butt…its such a turn on?”

As I sent it I regretted it…at lunch my friend had played me a new ring tone turning off her silent mode to let me hear…the beeping began from her purse…my face burned red. The aging teacher not hard of hearing moved over to my friend and held out his hand, she put the phone into it her face just as red as mine. The whole room watched him as he began to read we could all see him reading the message my heart beat so fast. The teacher stopped and looked at my friend with one of those ‘teacher-ing looks’ (you know the ones) but I could see he wanted to say something more.
“Miss James you can get this back at the end of the day…back to work” he said… ‘I was off the hook, I thought’ until he sat down at his desk and called over the class to me.
“Toni, turn your phone off”
The humiliation was above me…I didn’t know what to do. I just stared.

I haven’t been able to look him in the eye since…opps. Thank god he didn’t read out what I’d wrote though, adding to that my ex boy friend is in the class that would of been shameful as he does often ask why we broke up… lol

Ps) I have many an embracing moments in my car ‘Dana_Scully I’ve been there with the whole barrier thingy’ though I have only been driving since a bit ago but there was my driving lessons… “Oh the good days”. Driving on the wrong side of the road tends to come very easy to me…its understandable though being brought up in England…the cops in America don’t think that’s such a good excuse though…dam it!
And I have to say its quite an insult when my good friends make me a car bumper stickers saying “move away…my English head could come on at any time” and “prone to driving like a queen…(ENGLISH)”…its most hurtful the way they treat me…lol. Oh and don’t get me started in gym class…



~whomeisi~

Whomeisi - it's too bad that we don't have a blushing smilie. Lesson of today: never pass notes/text message in class. And, cell phones are your worst enemy in class. At least he didn't read it out loud. . .Maybe you should send an apology note or something

I have to agree with Dana - you have beaten your embarrassing moment (the "rubber") with this one.

Ooh yeah....well, slightly off topic, (which is terrible for a mod who should be setting a better example....) but I'd like to wish all the guys from the States here a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Double ooh...Christmas is coming!!! Gonna have to dig out a nice festive avatar soon, I think.....

I'm sure the upcoming festivities will make for a whole plethora of embarrasing moments though, with all those Christmas parties.......all that drink.....you should see me after I've had a couple of lagers.....for some reason I start getting convinced that I can shake it like Beyonce......

What y'all laughing at??!!!

Oh, yeah! Happy Thankgivings to all...and early Merry Christmas (I know, it's one month earlier... but it never hurt for an early wishes...)

I think the 'embarrasing moment of the week' award is awesome too! Just as long as we're not encouraging people to embarrass themselves in order to get the award!

Oh I am so jammy to receive this award…I mean it was nothing really, the humiliation of ever time I see Mr G around the halls and I get ‘that look’…the redness of my face which am sure I am scared with for the rest of my life (as its not died down yet)…that’s about it and now the embracement of my embracement being so embarrassing it wins the 'embarrassing moment of the week’ oh the shame…

Ha lol…I got to eat turkey today and celebrate that thanksgiving thingy even though am English…it was fun turkey with all the trimmings.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Thanks Make sure you check out who the bird is in the picture. The picture was probably just a little bit too big for the forums, so I decided to link it instead.

I hate it when my cell rings (for either calls or text messages- somehow I can't put my cell on vibrate or silent for text messages) during class. I've been caught a few times, but they never took it away, hehe. But you have the whole class staring at you, and your teacher giving you the look (and it's worse if your teacher is also a dean...erk).

This is not an embarrassing moment for me, but it's for my friend. She was at this camp during the summer, and everyday she would eat pastrami for lunch. She has this thing for hating beef, and refusing to eat it...and little did she know that pastrami is beef.
Nearly the end of the summer...her TA's (teacher assistant) said to her, "You do know pastrami is beef right?" And she gave him this extremely shocked faced that only she can do. Her eyes bludged, with her mouth opened so wide. I think I might have a picture of her doing that...xD

Wow, isn't it strange how when holiday season comes around, the work begins to pile up?

Hey everybody! Looks like some changes have been made.

New embarrassing moment:

I always thought it was impossible to trip over something that's lying right in front of you. But the other day, I was walking, and I tripped over an empty cardboard box in the hallway in school. Not once, but twice. First I tripped and spun around, then I landed my foot in the box and I almost fell on my head. I tried to play it off but I think I received a couple of stares.

OMG!! Joe!!! Welcome back!! *huggies* Miss ya mate... the forums are just not the same without you....

Anyway, haha!! Yeah... I've tripped over things many times before... hmm... what can I say... my feet just won't agree with me sometimes... *tee hee*

And the other day, I was wearing this high heels (again ) and there's a small crack on the floor that I've overlooked and my left shoe's heel stucked in there. That shoe simply got stucked there while I walked bare footed a couple steps. So, I had to turn around and actually had to bent down and pull my shoe out from there.... aiii... what a shining moment for me eh?

Luckily there aren't many people around but a few stares are unavoidable... heh...

lol

poor joe and zyra.

In a fit of nostalgia, I just spent several hours re-reading all the old threads in the JGAFL forum. This one had me laughing for forty-five minutes (I take pleasure in your pain!!), so I just had to resurrect it...

All right, then... embarrassing moments... heh...

I had the classic one the other day -- my friend and I are walking in the hall and we're talking (not in the, um, most positive sense) about a class. Then the teacher comes 'round the corner... well, we're not used to dealing with these situations because we're good little girls (), so we don't think to change the topic or anything. We just shut up really fast and stare at him. We've walked past him and we're starting to think that everything's OK, and then we hear him say "hmm... students talking, teacher comes over, students go silent... I know what's going on..."

Another lovely school moment... I was a little spacy at the end of my sixth period physics class (I tell myself that my brain was overworked from concentrating so hard), so I went to my fifth period class instead of seventh. Bet you can guess how much my seventh period teacher loved that excuse.... "well you see, it took me five whole minutes to notice that I was sitting in class with twenty ninth graders" ....

I've also had the super-fun gym class experiences. *groan* In sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, I remember the girls had to do gymnastics routines in front of the class while the boys had their football unit (sexism in the schools... I ask you... ), and every single year my gym teacher and I went through the "let's teach Allie to do a backward roll" thing. She held me after class and everything, and I had to practice rolling down that stupid wedge-shaped mat while she ranted about how I needed to make a better effort. And of course, all of the other girls always ended up lining up to watch until the bell rang. Grr.

Which reminds me of when I was seven, and they actually put me in "remedial gym" because I was scared to climb to the top of the stupid rope, which somehow translated to "lack of balance and eye-hand coordination." Dude, the three sports I've played are tennis, softball, and horseback riding! And I had it mentioned to me from time to time through junior high... I'm the girl who went to "special gym" and used to get bus sick in first grade.

The pinnacle of my embarrassing moments, though... I'm just not telling on the Internet.

Righty then, that was humanizing, huh?

Ohh, wow....I am the KING of embarrassing moments! I probably have one or two embarrassing moments each day, but only one very memorable moment i guess around every other month...

Hmmm..there are so many I cannot even think of one. OH! Yes I can!
My family always teases me about this:

When I was four, at my preschool graduation (haha), everybody was all dressed up and looking nice. My mom had me wear my extremely uncomfortable dress shoes, against my will, obviously. After the long ceremony, the principal of the school began calling up each kid at a time in alphabetical order (we were sitting in a semi-circle on the stage). I was the second-to-last person, and I started to get nervous and was playing around with my feet, when suddenly one of my shoes popped off! I was only four, so this made me extremely nervous, and I paniced. I tried desperately to slip my shoe back on, but as unsuccessful. Then, I heard my name: "David Weiss." I looked up and saw my whole family in the back clapping their hands off. I tried harder one last time to slip on my shoe, and got it half-on, but it was not very tight. I began walking up to the podium, and on my way, SLIP! The shoe slipped off! I turned back and saw it, turned forward and saw the crowd, looked at the shoe, the crowd, the shoe, the crowd, and decided to keep on walking, with only 1 shoe. The principal noticed, and (with everybody laughing in the background ), walked to my shoe and helped me get it on my foot in the middle of the stage--in the middle of the ceremony! I was terrified! I will never hear the end of that story from my family!


_daviD

-EDIT- PS: Allie..I just read your post and I feel HORRIBLE! hah...I hope you have recovered from those events

my most emabaarsing moment was when i was about...10? I had to wear a kilt to school (I do live in scotland ) and i was at the front of the class, getting paper, and i was fiddling with the buckle of the kilt too much and well...it well down, exposing my underwear to the class.

I died inside!

WOW!
Those are some embarassing stories!
I never really had a really bad embarrasing story...but i do remember...

i had P.E. and it was in 5th grade, we all had to run a lap and we were timed. So i was rushing to get ahead of everyone. Sadly, i bump into someone and i fall flat on my face. People were laughing...
But alot of people stopped and asked me if i was okay..

so it wasn't all that bad...oh and i remember i was in 6th grade and i said that middle school was good, and that the 8th graders were not mean or anything. I was basically boasting about being in Middle school even if i was the freshman...then suddenly i bump into this tall 8th grader...and to make matters worse i bumped into another 8th grader....

which also reminds me when i was in lunch. i was talking to my friend and we got up to dump our lunch, so i continued talking to her and i realized it was someone else! Talk about embarassing...

How about telling someone a secret and saying "I'm not supposed to tell anyone this," and then the person you just told the secret to says "Yeah. Because I was the one who said not to!" Ooops. I've done that.

Psh, I make a fool of myself every single day. This makes for more embarrassing moments than I can count. Recently, I've been falling down the stairs a lot because I screwed up my ankle and have no balance. It's just as humiliating the thirtieth time as it is the first to miss several steps and say "You saw nothing." Sometimes, it gets even better and my ankle collapses when I'm just standing there so that I fall over in the middle of a room. Really, this is a good deal.

In other moments... A few years ago, my horse shyed as we were headed towards a jump and I fell face first into the jumpstand. I had the square from the top of the stand imprinted on my forehead for days. Or there was the time over the summer when I was out running with some friends and we decided to detour through a shopping center. I just missed running straight into a glass door as someone opened it, but dodging the door meant that I fell over the garbage can to the side of it.

Ah, that's enough for now. Maybe I'll come back later when I feel up to divulging more lovely stories.

Yikes Oh Helen, I feel for you mate!! And Darcy, oh my ... lol, that has to be awkward. Allie, I never knew there was such a thing as remidial gym?? I dont think we have that here! Aww, Meggie you sound hilarious ... though I bet you walk around bruised a lot

I have a lifetime of embarassing stories, but this is one that touches on the whole fame thingy...

When I was sixteen I was at a local pub (yeah ... I know I was underage, but I'd been going to pubs since I was fourteen and they always let me in) to see a band that me and my friends used to go and see often. I had a humngous crush on the base player, his name was Lloyd, he was cute, not gorgeous, but I always liked "quirky" and I just thought he was a god. So I used to stand there drooling and he picked up on it (hey, the guy would have had to be blind not to, I was rather obvious) and used to wink at me and playful stuff like that, just mucking around when he was on stage. I loved it, but always assumed he was just teasing me (in a nice way) about my crush.

Well, this one time I went up to the bar to buy a couple of drinks with a friend, and who should come up behind me but Lloyd Of course, I had built this guy up so much in my head that when he approached me and said hi I stood there with my mouth gaping open unable to say a word, so I stammered a squeaky hi back then just turned away from him, completely ignoring him, and spoke to my friend because I was in panic mode. phffft I mean, to him it was like the biggest brush off ever ... DOH!! I walked away from that little encounter totally mortified

Ah...isn't it just fun to read other people's embarassments, and then feel embarassed ourselves when we have to post ours?
*sigh* Well, here are the embarassing things that happened to me today. (then, other embarassing stuff that actually are hilarious)

*Last night, I had decided to braid my hair as I had just washed it, and it was wet, so it would have a shape. (I do that countless times, trying to look like Hermione ). But, today, when I unbraided my hair to see its shape, it looked horrible! It actually was bushy, but I didn't plan on it look like that and I tried running water through it loads of times, and then it finally got to decent, but no one really noticed.
Just for the record there, I'm not a girly girl who's always worried about how I look and stuff, on the contrary, I never even wear makeup. That probably wasn't that embarassing.

*Well, speaking of makeup.... I'm in a PFI class, which deals with the same stuff as in the show CSI. One time, the girls had to bring in lipstick because we were testing who's lip prints belonged to which girl. I brought one of my mom's old ones to use. After we were done with that lab, I put the lipstick tube in my bookbag, but never bothered to take it away. So, today, when I arrived at school, and went to my locker, I got out my binder and books. I was on my way to my French class, when all of a sudden, I hear this noise that sounds something like between a bell and a gong. I look down and see that the tube of lipstick is at my feet. Now, in front of me, one of my teachers was talking with someone, and I think she saw the lipstick. Of course, as I said, I'm not one who worries about makeup and so that was a sticky situation for me because...it just was .

*Then, after school, I stayed after for flute practice. Others as well. Anyway, I was walking towards a room to pratice, when all of a sudden, my hand hit a stand, and the stand knocked over into me, and I almost fell over! It was in front of my fellow eigth graders, as well as some seventh and sixth, and high schoolers who volunteer to help! hehe

Okay, now for my past stuff...

*This was about a month ago. I was going into the locker room, to change into my regular clothes because GYM was about to end. But, before, there were these two mats on top of each other, but it wasn't perfect. So, I was paying attention to something else (can't remember what it was), and suddenly, I fall flat on my face! I didn't even notice it, and to be honest, it was fun, and I told my friends that too. Well, my friends helped me up, and I couldn't talk because I was laughing so hard!

*Now, this was a year ago, when I was in seventh grade. There was this guy that I had the biggest crush on. About 3 years at the time, to be exact. I've known him since fifth grade. Anyway, we almost every hour together. In one of our hours, we had art. So, for some reason, we try to race each other down to the art room. To get to that room, we had to go down a flight of stairs. Well, we were. One day when we were doing that, a boy a grade younger that was carrying a lot of stuff appeared before us. Apparently, he was going up the stairs. So, the boy that I liked accidentaly pushed the boy carrying the objects my way, but I just minded him, and tried getting out of his way, for fear he [the boy carrying the stuff] would fall. But, instead of him falling, I triped on one of the objects that he was carrying, because it fell! This was on the stairs, too.
I fell on my front side again, as well. But, I had my hands in front of me, and again, I thought it was pretty fun. Of course, when I got up, the boy that I had a crush on had gotten my books for me, because they had fallen out of my hands. When we were walking towards our art room, my hip was aching a little, and said jokingly, 'if you need to have surgery, I'll pay for it', and I smacked him.

*And, my last one for the day..
I was in fourth grade. I had to go use the restroom really, really badly, but thought that I would hold it until I got home, because there were only 20 minutes left of school. So, the bell rang, and we had to put our chairs on top of our desks. I did mine, and all of a sudden, I felt this warm, yet disgusting feeling. I realized that I had wet my pants! I called over my teacher, who was one of the best I've ever had, and when she asked why I had called her, I started crying, and she hugged me. Ah well, she was the only one that knew, because the other kids were towards the door, and my desk was one of the farthest away. Whew..

By the way, Allie, don't worry about gym. I can't even to a cartwheel! I absolutely hate it though *feels as though another story is coming up*.
Yesterday, we had to do a fitness test. We had to do a number of sit-ups in 1 minute (I did 33), and then, we had to sort of hang on a bar, with our chins over it, for as many seconds as we could. I couldn't even jump for my chin to be over the bar because I was too short! Then. my hands were just gripping the bar, and I was hanging. And, it sure felt like a long time to me. So, you know how many seconds I got? Probably less than 0.5! My P.E. teacher, who's very nice, gave me 1 second.. Lol, more than I could hope for.

Oh my...Razz! Lol, sorry it didn't work out. I know how you feel like though, that people sometimes tend to tease others' feelings.

Were you okay, Meg? Lol, don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault.
Haha May I, I've imagined doing something like that...maybe I have. That would definetly suck though.
Ah, bumping into eigth graders.. Hey, I do it all the time > You should see how crowded my classes are.

Lol, Yagraine! I cannot imagine how that must've felt! What did everyone say to you?
Well, Felix, if you're the king, then I must be the queen because I'm one of the most embarassing people ever, and sometimes I'm even not aware of it unless someone points it out..
Aw, you were only a little four year old!

Well, this is kind of hard to post because of its embarassment level. but:

I walk into school on picture day, feeiling nice and happy and cheery. So I go to my locker, which is located by the office. The assistant principal walks out, sees what I'm wearing (A white tee-shirt with a blue over shirt) and says, "No, tuck them both in. I was like "Well that kinda fruity" I didnt say it. I thought it. So I tuck them both in (reluctantly) and go to class. Then the announcements come on and the assistant principal comes on, "Students," she says, "please tuck in all of your shirts. Even if you have, for example, a white tee-shirt and blue overshirt they must both be snug in your pants. Take a look at (she gives my name) as an example, as he is the only one I saw with this problem. Thank you."

The rest of the day, everyone stares. The cheery expression is long extinct.

daviD, Your story reminded me of one my son and I discussed (with laughter) just the other day. When he was three years old, I was doing costuming for a play, and had to go into the city for the rental costumes. The guy who owned the costume place was an old friend, and very fond of James. So everytime we went up there, James would get a present--sometimes a pirate eye patch, sometimes a plastic sword...well, that day James was wearing a white tee and little royal blue overall shorts. And the guy gave him a matching beanie to wear with it. He loved that beanie...until evening came and we went to rehearsals, that is.

We were sitting up in the high seats, the auditorium below us, watching a dress rehearsal. The orchestra was off to the left, near the stage. James decided he wanted to sit closer to the stage and started on down there, taking the elongated steps down...the breeze from his descent started the little propeller on the beanie to spinning. The whole orchestra started to crack up! This adorable little blonde boy with the propeller...they just thought he was too cute! But he was CONVINCED they were laughing at him because he looked stupid. It was the first time I ever saw him embarrassed. He refused ever to wear that beanie again!

Heh heh... I love reading all your embarrassing moments. Good reminder that everyone has 'em, huh? Just to clarify on my lovely gym class stories... don't judge the States as a whole by my first grade experiences, Razz! I don't think "remedial gym" is a big thing over here, either -- just something that my wacked school came up with... I dunno... to help kids with coordination problems or something? Suffice it to say, I don't fall into that category... but yeah, it's not some institutionalized concept that everyone knows about but you....

Onto more of my tales of woe... one of my more horrible "incidents" in a LONG time happened to me last year. My parents and sister were away, so my friend and I were staying at my house alone for the night. My mom gave me money for pizza and garlic bread and a tip for the person who delivered it. I'm not usually trusted with monetary transactions because I have a bad habit of -- er -- losing said money, so she counted the bills out for me and everything (I was sixteen -- how sad is that? ).

Anyway, the guy came and delivered the pizza... it was some kid in my class, and my friend was giggling like a lunatic because she seems to find it funny whenever we see our classmates in more "personal" settings (like my house). He had the pizza but apparently they ran out of garlic bread. So, being the good person who I am and not the type to tell off the middleman when the middleman happens to be a 6'2" guy in my class who's more than capable of beating me up, I say something along the lines of "sure, no problem" and pay him.

He is positively staring at me. Seriously, I'm starting to feel creeped out. Then he says "oh my god, Allie, I'm going to request to come to your house every time!" I don't even know this guy too well (never had a class with him or anything, just recognize him on sight), and he's looking at me and my friend's still giggling. And so he keeps going on... "Allie, you're AMAZING" ... and I think, "OK, OK, back off, buddy... down boy..." So I say "um, right" and shut the door.

We're halfway through dinner, and I say to my friend, "I know exactly what's going on. I gave him all the money even though he didn't have the garlic bread." Accidentally gave him a 50% tip! Wonder what he thinks of me now... either that I like to throw my cash around or that I'm very poor at arithmetic, probably.

Urgh. *Wishes these forums had a blushing smiley*

Another embarrassing moment that actually happened today (wow, I feel like I'm making a fool of myself all the time )... not quite as goofy as the pizza story, but when I was walking out of English, I caught the strap of my bag on the door. I got stuck there, obviously, since I was moving pretty quickly and the doorknob just... got in the way. I created a bit of a domino effect, since there were people behind me and I sort of took them by surprise when I suddenly jerked backwards (), so I fell on the person next in line to leave, someone else smashed into her, etc. I'm very clumsy... I've caused similar things to happen on the stairs and all over the school, really.

'Course, my day looks like it went brilliantly when you set it aside Resilda's....

well at my school,kids go out (like boyfriend and girlfriend...) and i tried it( i know,we're so young) and i asked this cute guy out(i knew him since kindergarten) and -this was last year-and now everyone knows i like him now. then i saw this cute guy at the movies when me and my friends went to go see the harry potter and the goblet of fire movie.then turns out i've been flirting with a guy that was a sophmore in highschool and is friends with my brother since fifth grade .that was so embarrassing.i hope my brother doesnt know about this. .

Hehe...funny story, Darcy...I hope your son has recovered! hah...

Well, something extremely embarrassing happened to me just today, in the morning.

I was absent last week because I was on a school field trip, and I missed a science lab. My teacher told me to come in before school to make it up. I went to the science hallway to find her classroom completely empty. It was very early in the morning, so I was prtty tired and was looking down (with my eyes half-closed ).

I continued wandering around the school trying to find my science teacher. After a while, I figured she wasnt there so just began walking around he school. All of a sudden (in his VERY loud accented voice), I hear my Spanish teacher yell out at me "HOLA DAVID!" Whoa, did that wake me up! My head jerked up and to the left and I looked at my teacher, but for some reason continued waking, and crashed RIGHT into my girlfriend!!! She went flying backward and landed on her - urrr - behind! LOL...Ahhhh, soooo embarrssing! Now my girlfriend AND my teacher think I'm a clutz! haha...

eeeeeek.. *Wishes with Allie that these forums had a blushing smiley*

Ah, the causing-someone-else-to-fall-over episodes are horrible, David! I guess it could be worse -- I've been known to go crashing into teachers instead of friends. Or worse, you and another person are walking toward the door coming from opposite directions and you end up trying to walk through the same side and bumping into each other. And then you try to get out of it by going the other way, and you hit each other again. Or you just end up wavering awkwardly and look like you're dancing. Hopefully your girlfriend was understanding.... although admittedly, that little incident probably didn't do much for the "cool, sophisticated boyfriend" image....

Your story makes me really glad I don't have a brother, Kassandra. Hopefully I'll never find myself flirting with one of my fifteen-year-old sister's guy friends. Good luck with your little... erm... predicament! You're brother's going to be merciless if he finds out!

My embarrassing moment for the day.... we were working on a centripetal force lab in physics. It involved one person swinging washers (those little 6g round metal thingies... yeah... ) around their head on a string and the other person counting the number of revolutions per thirty seconds. Well, it turns out that I'm not so good at getting the revolutions in motion... so I ended up hitting myself in the head with twenty-four washers. My lab partner found it funny enough... me with the little blinking stars in front of my eyes...
