Most Embarassing Moment

motoLyn

So the other thread on Eloping popped a thought into my head.  Think back ladies and describe to us the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you.  Wednesday funday around here.  We're all good friends and could use a laugh.  Just to build some trust and crack the ice I'll go first.  Because honestly I can look back and laugh about it now.


Long ago, say 6 or so years I was dating a guy.  He and I were dating for a few months now.  Anyways we went out to dinner one night and went back to his place.  I was driving and so I dropped him off and went to go park the car.  On my walk to his apt. I came to realize that I needed to go to the bathroom BAD, you know drop off the kids.  Dinner was wrecking havoc on my digestive system.  It was a long walk to his apt and there was no where to duck into some bushes to do my business without being seen from the street.  So lets just skip that gross part and tell you that I didn't make it to his apt and my jeans were ruined.  Embarrassingly I had to ask the guy to use his shower and borrow some boxers.  My jeans were thoroughly washed several times and I had to toss the belt that I was wearing.  This incident is only known by my BFF and now you ladies.  I can look back and laugh about it now and i'm sure that I must be a funny story to the friends of the guy that i was dating.  Yeah.....

Oh my  Moto... you are very brave to tell us that story!

My most embarassing moment came on a spring break trip to Cocoa Beach, FL, while I was in college. I had met this boy early in the week and while we were at a party a few days later, we ended up in one of the bedrooms, making out. I was wearing this super 90's vest/shirt thing that only had four buttons. After we made out for awhile, we went back into the party. I thought everyone was smiling/laughing at me because they 'knew' we'd been making out. Nope, turns out the middle two buttons had come undone during the makeout session and I was giving everyone quite the show!

Oh wow. That is bad. I'm picturing it like the scene from Bridesmaids. Glad you can laugh now though!

Hmm.. My most embarrassing moment happened on Christmas eve. I've had a glass eye since I was 4. I recently learned how to clean my eye on my own. I don't know why it's taken me 18 years to get the courage to clean my own eye, but still. FI (he's never seen it out.) went to a friend's house. His sister called and said they would be over in an hour or so. So, I had an hour to clean it. While it was soaking, I laid down on the couch. I fell asleep. I woke up to headlights coming through the curtains. It was my FSIL! I unlocked the door and ran as fast as I could to the bathroom. I sent them a text to tell them that the door was unlocked and I'd be out in a second. My FI came home a few minutes later and loudly asked if I was having bowel issues. Yes. He said bowel issues. When I came out I had to explain that they had caught me with my eye out. Luckily, they just laughed. I'm still pretty self conscious about it, so I was really embarrassed.

Oh Lyn, that is mortifying.  You are so brave!

I always have such a hard time with these things because I try to block these kinds of memories out, otherwise I keep reliving it a million times!  Gah, stupid brain.  I am trying to think of one though.

Oh I have one.
I only started using tampons about 4-5 years ago.  I was afraid of them in the beginning.  So I still used pads for everything.
I went with this guy I had liked FOREVER and his brother to the pool.  I wore my jean shorts in the pool because I was wearing a pad but I am pretty sure they knew.  I also may have been leaking blood around me as I swam.  They kept giving me funny looks while we were swimming so I am sure they knew.  It was so embarrassing

Late one summer night when I was 18, I got caught red handed doing the deed soon after I lost my V card... guess who gave me up? My BF's dog, who was barking at the door. His mom opened to the door to find me nekkid and sort of covered under a comforter, with clothes everywhere. The dog jumped on the bed and proceeded to try to lick my girly bits.... and my BFs face.

You ladies too are brave souls.... Thanks for sharing.  The best we can do is look back and laugh.  Don't worry I still cringe now and then.  More now than then.  *Cringe*  See? 

Nursey I wouldn't be able to look her in the face ever again.... 

Raven those be some awkward experiences.  I heard of girls on their periods and wearing white shorts. 

tuarceatha

hm... I'm with Raven, I've blocked the worst more recent ones out...

But once in middle school I was leaning over a round table doing math with a small group or something. And the kid that supposedly liked me saw my white Lily of France cotton conservative undies showing at my jean line, and decided that it would be funny to give me a wedgie.

Yup. He put his 12 year old hand on my 12 year old underwear line and pulled. I whipped my head around, and, as I remember it, gave him a look of horror. I covered up the way high underwear line with my shirt and dealt with it once class was over in the girls bathroom.

I remember walking outside the classroom trailer with underwear shoved up my a$$, and thinking "How could he do that to me?? I thought he LIKED me? Why would he be so mean??" I think only he and his friend saw it. I wonder if they remember doing that to me... Stupid boys.

These stories totally remind of seventeen magazine. They were always about underwear, periods, and bathroom issues. le sigh...

Oh Liv the stories we have could fill up a comedic book.  I have tons as well, and my BFF never seems to be out of "Do you remember when you..." stories that make me cringe.  Things from butt flops into bodies of water to bathroom mishaps to hickies gone wrong and cops showing up to the door looking for a supposedly missing guy who happens to be sitting on my couch.  Yeah.....

[QUOTE]I have a lot of ridiculously embarrassing stories. I feel like I've spent over half my life just feeling mortified. I think something is wrong with me. Anyway, the one that stands out most in my mind right this second is another period one. I was in 7th grade and I had had periods like clockwork and didn't have a pad on me because I was only two weeks into my cycle. Turns out, I was at the beginning of what would become my 100-day-long heavy period. My body was all sorts of out of whack. Anyway, I was in English class, and I didn't realize that I had bled through my jeans. Nothing HUGE but enough. And it got on the seat...I didn't realize. A really terrible boy in my class was making a huge deal about it and was like, "gross!" but no one had found out yet it was me. And then my (male) teacher started being like, "Gross!" too and was asking who did it. It was mortifying. I sat on one leg to try to keep it off the next seat I was in, and then basically RAN to my next class. Another girl was there and I asked if I could borrow her sweatshirt because I was "cold." I finally persuaded the teacher to let her go to her locker to get me the sweatshirt...because I think something finally clicked for the teacher that something was wrong. I put the sweatshirt around my waist, brought it home to wash it, and returned it the next day. Word had spread about the blood and then I was linked to it...it was terrible. I was the very first girl to have my period and this was in September of a new school year at a new school, so it was pretty much hell. My mom actually called the school and spoke to the principal about my male teacher who handled things SO poorly. He apologized to me, which was almost just as awkward. To this day, I will never know why my 12-year-old self didn't just CONFIDE in my female teacher I had an issue.

I feel like a complete creep quoting you again, but the same thing happened to me! I was in family and consumer science (home ec) when I was 12 and I had just started getting my period a couple months earlier. My tampon leaked and blood went through my pants. I went to the nurses office and called my stepmom, and since she is amazing she let me skip school for the rest of the day. I was completely mortified by the situation, but nobody ever mentioned it to me so maybe the didn't notice. I still wince everytime I think about it though.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Most Embarassing Moment : Not gonna lie, I'm sort of relieved I'm not the only one mortified by life. My mom always brings stuff up and she's like, "What, it was funny!" She is SO not one to instigate if she really thought it bothered me so she really does think some things are amusing. I'm like, "Mom, not there yet. Give me 5 more years." Man, I have so many humiliating moments.  Another is when I was in 6th grade and boys in the line going inside from recess were comparing girls' boob sizes to fruits. They said mine were grapes. :( Then between 7th and 8th grade, it was all **WHAM!!** suddenly I had breasts and hips and I got my braces off and grew my bangs out and all that. And THEN boys decided I must be stuffing my bra since I went from flat to a full C over a summer. FML.

What gives me a face palm moment is that a majority of my embarrassing moments happened after I left High School.  Oh how my late teens and early 20s will haunt my self preservation for a long time.

When I was 15 or so I was at my neighbour's pool with a bunch of people, including 2 guys I had HUGE crushes on. We were playing Macro Polo and my sister was "It" and grabbed the  string on my halter bikini top. I was smart enough to knot it well, but I guess it wasn't' very well made and the string ripped away from the bathing suit. I tried to run and grab a towel while holding myself so people couldn't see my boobs (I was already a D cup at that age) and I slipped and fell and knocked the wind out of myself. I was just lying there, crying because I was so embarassed and couldn't move.

I threw up on a stripper...while she was giving 2 russian dudes a table dance...at what was (at that time) the ritziest strip club in DC...on my brother's 30th birthday.

You know, actually I think that would qualify as "the most awesome thing you've ever done in public".

I'm a little late to this party, but I'll add to it. I was on a plane, and it was delayed, so we had to sit on the tarmac for ages. I had previously drank like an entire water bottle full of water, but didn't have to pee while waiting around. Then, right about when I was going to get up because all of a sudden I was desperate, the plane started moving. I had to call a stewardest over and tell her I had to go. She said I would have to wait 20 minutes until the plane was in the air and the seatbelt sign was off, because when a plane is moving on the tarmac, it's illegal for any passengers to be up. I told her I couldn't wait that long, and she said- well if you get up, we'll have to stop the plane again. Soooo that's what we did!! I made the plane stop after everyone was waiting for so long already, and ran to the bathroom with my pants practically undone. The second I got out, she was on the phone with the pilot saying, she's out. The plane started moving before I got back to my seat LOL. It was embarassing, but my mom found it hilarious

Again, late to the party.

I get BV a lot (bacterial vaginosis). They give you a giant syringe type thing you need to stick up your vag and stuff some white cream in it in the morning and at night. You need to wear a pad because the cream falls out throughout the day and it's nasty. (TMI... but stick with me) I was going to a wedding this past October and had BV, so I had to wear full coverage panties with a pad so the cream didn't fall out everywhere. I was wearing a super cute dress. During the ceremony, FI leans over and said, "I was checkin' you out and can totally see your underwear." CRAP. So I went to the bathroom right away and wtf was I thinking. I was wearing striped underwear and you could totally see every single stripe through my dress. I tried folding it inside out, but nope. Still could see it. So I just took it off and went comando. Fastforward to the reception. After dinner I stand up to go get some punch and there is a GIANT white pile on the chair. It's the cream. I thought it had fallen out mostly already, so I didn't worry about it. But nope. FI noticed, but I don't think anyone else did- or else they were just too weirded out and embarassed to say anything to me. It did not look like cream! Ah!

LMAO these stories are great!

The first one that popped into my mind is when I was in 8th grade I was sitting at my desk in my history class when all of a sudden my nose started bleeding, a LOT. I didn't notice it until I actually heard a dripping sound on my pants. The way I was sitting the blood drops were landing on the inner thigh of my khakis. Great location and great pants choice.

I threw one hand over my nose and the other in the air to tell my teacher I had to go to the bathroom, and at first he told me to wait, until he realized I was getting blood everywhere. So he volunteered one of the popular girls to come help me out. She basically handed me paper towels while I tried to clean off my pants and plug my nose up. Poor girl looked like she was going to pass out.

I had to walk around school with a blood stain on my pants the rest of the day too.
