Embarrassing moments, whats yours?

[spotsandstripes]

So the other week I went on a 'date', to be introduced to the mother (great date right?). Anyways, she cooks us a meal, I presume he can't cook rather than wont cook. Dinner was canadian burgers, YUM, my fav...Kinda. On arrival the burger looked awesome, only to bite into it to realise it was bloody awful, instant gag reflex on the first bite, swallowing the whole lump and struggling to breathe to stop the gag reflex. The burger was just awful. I played around with it for a bit, eating the chips. We sat in his room just the two of us and he asked if I wanted a drink, agreeing he then went off leaving me alone to fetch the drinks. The dog basket being in the room, smartie pants decided to hide the burger in the dogs bed so that when the dog went to bed he'd munch his tasty snack and no one would notice. When he arrived back he must have assumed I wolfed it down and I refused extras being so full you know! ;) Wee while later the mum comes to ask me if I enjoyed the burger for Cheeko the dog to scoot in along side....Straight to his bed like some kind of sniffer dog sniffing out drugs he found the burger and pulled it out of his bed, and tucked in to his burger in the middle of the floor infront of his mum & my date. I couldnt describe the look I received from the both of them...

So tell me, Whats your cringe worthy moment?

HaHa like it S&S - but it serves you right! Difficult situation though, I couldn't have eaten it! What was the outcome? Did they laugh about it?

any update on the dog?

[sunflower68]

Oh lordy spotsandstripes I feel your pain....did you see him again?? He he...
I will try and top that.. went into a shop in high heeled boots only to get one heel stuck in the grid infront of shop. Grid came out of ground attached to heel so I attempted to right the problem by using other boot.
Only to discover both boots caught in the now removable grid and I was having to jump around like some snowboarder till I could kind of hop over to the side, sit down and remove the grid.
Had to get boots redone in Timpsons and when I handed them over to the fella there all I could smell was stale urine from the drain where the grid thingy had been. Oh my life...

They both wasnt best mused to be honest and im pretty sure she hates me now. She didnt say much to me awkward and I sat there watching cheeko eat his burger as they looked at me...awkward!! He laughed about it later in texts, my mates even more so. I didnt get the like vibe from the mother though and I don't think I'll be asked for dinner too soon :P Oh wells, shame that, with her cooking being so good ya know! lol

[spotsandstripes]

beejay, its a possibility the dog died. I just hope the poor thing is ok LOL

Mine was years ago, I was left in charge of little brother who was a real joker, his favourite trick was to run out of our back yard round into the next street to knock on our front door then run away and hide. Unknown to me the local vicar who my Dad knew well had come round and knocked on the front door, with little bruv nowhere in sight I assumed he was up to his usual tricks, so I yelled "Go awayI know what you're up to!" This happened several times until I got fed up and bent down to look through the letter box supposedly at little pest of a bruv, only to have a tremendous shock as I came eye to eye with the vicar who wondered what was going on, and decided to look through the letterbox too! Was my face red!

[ummmm]

That sounds like something out of a sitcom..

[Ann]

We still laugh about it in our family to this day!

I had a physio appointment once, and went in my jeans instead of loose trousers. Long story short, the physio said she couldn't really do anything while I wore trousers, and asked if I had boxers on and would mind removing my trousers. I said I'd put clean boxers on that morning so it was no problem.

So she did all her stuff and I went away. Later that day I undressed (for a bath or going to bed or something) only to discover the boxers had a hole where the seam was (and honestly, I couldn't tell when wearing them) and as such all during the physio I had been flashing my meat and two veg.

At a quiz recently when asked for the name of the leader of the Dambusters squadron, my brain told me Guy Gibson but my mouth blurted out Guy Gisborne - I didn't know where to look...

(One of!) mine happened years ago when I worked at the council. I was wandering around Woolworths during lunch when I thought I saw a woman named Ruth from another part of my department. She looked slightly different, then I realised she had another hairstyle which I thought suited her much better. Being a nervous teenager and trying to be friendly to this older woman I walked over and said "Hello, your hair looks very nice". The look of horror on her face suddenly told me it wasn't Ruth but a complete stranger! She dashed off repeatedly looking over her shoulder!

I remember dealing with mine, with great aplomb.... in the 1970s when we wore minis, we wore 2 pairs of pants - one inside and one outside the tights, so people would see nice knickers when we bent over. Walking to work one day, I just got to the office gates when the elastic went and the outside pair fell down .... I just stepped out of them and stuffed them in my pocket, and carried on walking. Nobody ever said anything!

I once lost my waist slip in the same way boxtops!

Mine was years back when you had to sit and queue at the doctors before appointments. I had to take son2 aged about 2- 3 and the surgery was packed. The only seat was next to the receptionists window so I sat there with son2 on my knee. A while later an exceptionally large lady came in and stood next to us to book in. Son2 suddenly piped up with 'Thats a big fat lady, Mummy' so the whole surgery could hear. The floor didnt open up and swallow me so I had to apologise profusely to the poor woman. She smiled and said she knew she was and not to worry which made me feel even worse and we had to sit with son2 staring at her till we were called in!

[boxtops]

I was told as a child that I'd made a similar comment to someone sitting near us on the bus, linedancer......

One time I wished I'd bitten my tongue was when I'd just had my hair done, and a neighbour who I didn't know very well offered me a lift. He said "your hair looks nice", and being a bit embarrassed I responded "doesn't it usually?" - he was so put out, and I wished I hadn't said it - I've never repeated it!
