Hey everyone, what's your Most Embarrassing Moment? I thought it would be fun to have a thread about them so we can all get a good laugh!

Okay, I have one! This was at my wedding. So I walk down that aisle and reach my little sweetie bear... hehe. And I look at him and then I look around at the other attendants and then I look back at him. And do you know what the first words that came out of my mouth were?
"Where's your boutonniere?"
LOL! Okay, so it probably wasn't the most romantic first words to my new husband... but those boutonnieres and corsages cost me money! And nobody had them on during the ceremony!
Lesson here: Make sure that the florist doesn't just deposit an unmarked box on the counter... apparently nobody thought to look in the box when they were all getting ready. And I couldn't remind anyone because I was off elsewhere putting my wedding dress on (couldn't see the groom you know!). ::sigh::

Ok. One time I was at the mall. I decided to walk up the steps instead of taking the elevator. So, I am walking up the winding 2 flights of stairs and I trip, I'm very clumsy. I trip going up the stairs and some how I fell all the way back down. It was so embarrassing. I was 18 and the mall was full of People. Also, I used to wear my favorite jeans when I was 16, when I got a chance because I went to Private School. I loved my DKNY jeans so much I bought 10 pairs of the same exact jeans. One pair had a loose stitch on the inside of one of the legs really close to the top. I wore these jeans one day, not knowing about the stitch, as I was waling in the mall they came open! 2 girls were walking behind me laughing at me and I didn't even know and then a sweet older lady came up to me and told me. The whole was very close to my special place! So embarrassing!
I had led a boring, dull un-embarrassing life until I had my son. At which point I live daily with embarassments.
My two favorites were in Walmart. My husband was actually the closest to him for this one, which I was thrilled about because he always seemed to miss these "special" moments and would only get to laugh at them later when I called him mortified. So the first was when he asked a "Pat" if it was a boy or a girl. He was 4. And to give him credit, niether my husband, myself nor my mom ever figured out the gender.
My other favorite was when he asked a mom (in the Walmart check-out) if she was the Gramma to the little girl sitting in the cart. When she said no and asked why, he informed her that she looked too old and wrinkly to be a mom. And when I picked my jaw up off of the ground and tried to help a bit by saying that he just thinks that way because his mommy was so young when she had him, he corrected me by saying, "No, mommy, you were 30. This lady looks older than Gramma." He was 4 at the time and we had just been talking about my age.
We stayed out of Walmart for a year or so after that.
Oh, and my all time favorite embarrassing moment was him telling a fat lady at the zoo (who was in a wheelchair because she was so obese) that maybe if she got up and walked and stopped eating the chips and pop, she wouldn't be so fat and need the wheelchair. He was 5 at the time.

mine was a few years ago. i was a cheerleader in college and during a game the ground was still wet from the night before since it had rained. well we scored a touch down so we were dancing to the fight song, and when it came time to do the high kicks, i totally slipped and fell on my butt and slid....it was sooo embarrassing in front of thousands of people!!!!!

Sometimes people need a kick in the pants. Too often we don't say things because we don't want to "offend". The nice thing about children is that they are honest. Pure and honest. They aren't saying it to be mean, they are saying reality.

^^^ That's true. But, If some lil kid was to make a rude comment to you...wouldnt you blame the parent for not teaching them manners?..But, then again..he was only 4. I would still feel offened if I was the lady.

You're saying the lady who was mistaken for her child's grandma needs a kick in the pants??? WHAT? Of course people bite their tongue because we don't want to hurt people's feelings. I'm not understanding why you think that is wrong. It's not like she asked for honest opinions on whether or not she looks like a grandma! She was just shopping for crying out loud.
On my 18th birthday, a bunch of friends were taking me out to my first night clunb. While my boyfriend was still at work, I decided to go to the mall to buy a shirt to wear. I was kind of in a hurry, so I just grabbed a few shirts off the rack and went into the dressing room. I usually wear like, a Large because I am pretty blessed up top. Well, I tried one really cute pink lacey top on and I noticed it was a little tight. I turned it around to see the sales-tag and it had an L on it.
Once I got it all the way on, I noticed it was TOO tight. I tried to take it off...no luck. I got completely naked trying to get that damn shirt off! My boyfriend called me when he got to my apartment to see where I was, and I told him I was stuck in the dressing room and he needed to come help me..and when he got there, just to grab and random shirt and make it look like he was comming to give me a different one.
It seemed like I was waiting forever and when I heard someone come in the dressing room, I peeked out and a lady who worked there looked at me. I told her I was stuck and was wondering if she could help. She laughed and came in and helped me out of it. As I made my way out, my boyfriend had just got there.
Worst part is, two weeks later I went back and the lady who had helped me just looked at me and laughed.
Embarrassing Moments!
