Now I love embarrassing storiesThis one actually happened way back in 1991 when I was celebrating the multicultural social events organised in Sheffield when the World Student Games were held in the city.
I went with a friend to the Crucible Theatre which was hosting a free night of folk music and dance (in the foyer!)...as usual I was dressed down for the event (t shirt and ripped jeans! - remember the fact I had ripped jeans on)
but as the whole event was very relaxed I kind of blended in!
Anyhow I remember sitting on the steps of the bar looking down at the singers and crowds below..and one guy, who was sitting at a table with some friends caught my eye!
I looked at him.....he looked at me! and suddenly I thought "my lucks in!!!"
Anyhow this game of glances carried on for a while ( I remember the guy looked a little like a bearded Jake Gyllenhall) and I did that half smile and hair toss flirting thing! before I caught sight of him downing his pint then weave his way through the tables to walk to where I was sat up on the stairs!
He leaned over slowly so I could smell his after shave and whispered gently into my ear
"Hey mate...I wanted to tell you that you have a rip in your jeans and one of your b*lls is sticking out!"...he suddenly left and went to sit down again!!
What happened to me?..........well I died on the spot
Now please....can I have some embarrassing stories from the lot of you
LOL OUCH John LOL!!! Oh dear...I'm having an aweful time trying to think of something at the moment but I KNOW I've got one...or maybe a few...if I can remember them. It would be hard to beat your story though hehehe! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday....Maura;)
ReplyDeleteOh, John, that is hilarious! I'm sorry, LOL! Really, I am, ROFLMAO! How HORRIBLE for you, (tears rolling down my cheeks)So sorry.......
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA .....
Still laughing.....
Now that was just a pertfectly hysterical story but best thing is that you shared! I love that part...you just made my day! :)
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Word! That would be a moment when red wouldn't BEGIN to cover the situation!
ReplyDeleteI will have to think of some such for my blog later, brain is not even gurgling at this point. Too tired to be embarrassed? Heh.
Cat
I couldn't possibly top that story. Thank you for sharing that moment! HAHAHA LOL indeed!
ReplyDeleteOk, here is a moment I'd rather not remember... (your story brought the memory back) I was young, not really aware of all the changes that were taking place. I was asked to a water skiing picnic so I had to wear a bathing suit.
Well, I didn't have any b*lls to peek out, but as I sat down on the beach towel I was embarrassed to find that I had *hair* showing where I wasn't used to finding it.
I remember making friends with a towel.
I wish I had been one of those free spirits who would have just said what the h*ll, acted like I planned the exhibit and enjoyed the day instead of being embarrassed.
I'm feeling strangely nauseous...
ReplyDeletewell I definitely haven had one of my b*lls hanging out !
ReplyDeleteMy jeans zip is always open as the stoopid zip is not very long... a man came up to me at the market to tell me. I thought I knew him & gave him a beaming smile & said hello - to be told my flies were open
ROFL, ROFL, Okay I have to remember to not read your blog when I am drinking something, I always laugh and either get choked or spray the computer :O)...
ReplyDeleteI will give some thought to a moment LOL...but I know I don't have one that funny.
That is beyond funny. Illegaly funny, even.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine.

And many more since then.
Dirty boy! That was brilliant, you should have re-enacted the scene and shared a photo with us! xxx
ReplyDeleteHEE HEE, you did not feel the 'fresh air' on your man bits?
ReplyDeleteshaking head and laughing
Oh my.....that..was....hilarious! lol
ReplyDeleteSorry to laugh at what happened, but, funny is funny.
Thank goodness I have learned to not drink anything while reading you posts. lol :)
Thanks for sharing.
As for embarassing stories, yup, got a few.
Thank you for sharing that. LOL. I had a rather unpleasant day yesterday, and reading that made things a lot lighter. Although laughing out loud like that hurt, it was totally worth it! ;) LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy, oh my, oh my ,oh my! Well, it is either laugh or cry and I think laughter is always the best...'cause that was pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteCan't top that one. But, God...how embarrassing. My most embarrassing moments always seem to involve some sort of farting.
ReplyDeletea great number of comments but no real secrets being shared!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to remember embarrassing moments and have decided that I have either led a very shelter life, blocked them from my memory, or the brain cells have kicked off.
ReplyDeleteI do remember in a 1950's gym class diving in a swimming pool wearing one of those old wool bathing suits and having it down around my waist when I came up. I hated those suits. They were horrid.
How about wearing a new suit in the '60's on a plane trip to S.F only to find out the sale tags were hanging off of it. Or making a mad dash to a school bathroom and not locking the door, only to have one of the nuns burst in... there was a deer in the headlights moment.
I know, rather pathetic stories, really. But, I tried.
In the US everyone is referring to your mishap, but not what happened. So I had to check it out. Oh, man, I bet you just died. And the guy was cute too!! Ouch!!
ReplyDeleteNot as funny as yours,John, but here goes!
ReplyDeleteWe lived on the West Coast of Canada in B.C. There was a beach there that was only accessible from a path high up on a cliff. We parked our bicycles and headed down the path ....which switched-backed down towards the beach. A friend was with us and I was a little ahead of them. Assuming they were right behind me, and being in one of my 'goofy' moods, I proceeded to act like a complete 'Orangutan'....literally jumping down the path. I was making all sorts of appropriate 'ape-like' sounds too. Thinking they were keeping up to me because I could hear them talking but not replying to me. So I looked over my shoulder, between the hops and squeals, and IT WASN'T THEM BEHIND ME!!!! They were further back giggling at my expense. The guys behind me gave me a smile and quickly passed me. I was very embarrassed and made sure we were no where near them on the beach.
i hate that sort of uncontrollable situation!!! too funny
ReplyDeleteyear ago I used to work for a large bank and when returning from lunch I saw my sister in law standing at the checkout!
I crept up behind her and smartly slapped her on the buttocks
yep
you have guessed it
it wasn't her!!!
Hey John...FYI...I'm Ron not Jim...I get it all the time...and besides this is Sophie's blog!
ReplyDelete....I digress
...Here's my faux pas...One day I went in the bank in the hopes that I could get a car loan...I was ushered into the Loans Officer's Office. She appeared draped in a large caftanish tent dress and because I was beyond nervous I thought it appropriate to comment on(not the size of her dress) but her size thinking she was preggers. SO WHEN ARE YOU DUE? I chirped. Truly an honest question---OUCH! She replied 'I'm not pregnant'...I slithered in to the seat...she was somewhat understanding and did give me the loan...NEVER will I allow myself to get in to this predicament again.
Hi John!! I'm just getting caught up on my blog reading and have saved yours for the very last--A good thing, nothing I've read could top your story!! I wish I could share an embarassing story with you, but I don't know where to start and I don't think you have enough time to listen!! :-)))THANKS for giving me a much needed laugh, with the way things have been going for me, I really needed it John!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my bloggie.
ReplyDeleteI came to say hi,
I will share my most embarrasing moment.
I pooped on the floor in our farm store. Yup I did.
Someone saw me- I was so embarrased.
My mom was really embarrased.

The manageress of the shop I worked in during my early twenties told us that she had gone to meet the parents of her boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteShe dressed very nicely and even wore lovely new underwear. Silk French knickers. However, for reasons you can work out, she needed to use a panty liner.... well we all know that French knickers have no gusset, only a seam..... yes - the inevitable happened the panty liner slipped out & landed dramatically on the carpet right infront of boyfriend's parents !!!
Red face followed rappidly
( And if you are thinking "Oh Yeah" that the story was about me - I was too shy in my early twenties to even have a boyfriend & I hate French Knickers ! )
I don't think anyone else could top that story, so I won't bother to share with you!!
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
Secrets are just that...secrets!
ReplyDeletebel. depends if you have anything to hide!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, LOL suddenly any embarrassing moment I may have had don't seem so bad!
