The driver just looked at me in a rather disgusted fashion - and I wasn't even drunk!

Re: Most embarassing
My most embarrassing moment:
Approaching the school bus stop at the age of 14 in my new smooth soled slip on shoes (they were all the rage honest). Had just started to 'go out' with this fit bird in the year above me, so thought I was the bees, she was stood there waiting to catch the school bus with me.
As I got nearer to her (and the other 30 or so kids waiting) I failed to notice the big steaming dog turd on the ground, freshly layed by some hairy goliath that morning. Yeah, I'm afraid to say, I slipped in it, landing flat on my arse in it and had to endure a day at school in dog shit trousers!!
The worst part was to come...I took stick for that for years, even acquiring the new nickname - Turdy!! Needless to say, the fit bird from the year above dumped me
Class act!!

Re: Most embarassing
Great Thread guys, cheered up my misty, icy morning in Falkirk.
My most embarassing moment was when I was 16 and on holiday in Spain. Picture the scene, early in the evening in a nightclub on a holiday camp in Spain. No is dancing yet as it's just getting going. The fog machine's been on and the dance floor's been waxed and is all nice and shiny. In the corner is a 16 yr old girl wearing her brand new unworn holiday heels. Can you see what's coming...........?
Said young lady decides she needs to reapply lippy so makes straight for the Ladies which is directly across the dancefloor......OMG, I'm getting red just thinking about the next bit.
Yes, you guessed it, 2 steps in and I landed on my rear end and skidded across the entire length of the dancefloor to the sound of rapturous applause and laughter! Needless to say, I spent MOST of the night in the loo washing mascara from my tear stained cheeks. On the upside, EVERYONE in the holiday camp knew who I was and I don't think I bought another drink all week

You just reminded me of something my daughter did when she was 3. My MIL took her with her to visit an elderly person in hospital and unbeknown to me my daughter had put a pair of MY knickers which she had taken from the laundry basket (NO, no skiddies before the filth brigade asks!
) She was wearing a Gap fleece which was quite big for her and my husband (I was at work) had no idea they were there as he packed her off with Grannie for the day. Anyway, wlaking down the corridor in hospital, my knickers fall gracefully to the floor. I was mortified when I found out, apparently the nusrsing staff were in hysterics.

Quality. Can you remind fellow BE peeps which airline employs you?

Re: Most embarassing
I was on holiday with my parents about 10 years ago, and we were having a meal in the hotel restaurant.
I had just come back from the toilet, and went to sit down at the table. As I looked up, I noticed I was sat at the wrong table, and there was my mam and dad staring at me, from our table, with a very confused look on their faces....not as confused though, as the couple I had sat down next too

Re: Most embarassing
many years ago, having done a spot of retail therapy and loaded down with carrier bags, i was walking to the bus stop when i noticed 2 gorgeous long-haired blokes across the road from me. i watched them walk down the road, not seeing a row of concrete bollards in front of me - as i was too busy ogling these guys i walked straight into one of the bollards and went flying!
