What is the most embarising thing you have ever done?

Post Reply New Topic

I've humiliated myself so many times, in so many ways, I can't pick just one. Or even just five.

omg, you guys are hilarious! Especially the farting during a silent prayer

My funniest Freudian slip was when I told one of my bosses instead of "But give me the text!! !": "But give me Sex!!" I was laughing so hard that I had to take the elevator to the roof and go laugh alone on the terrace till I calmed down.

I don't want to spoil the fun of the thread with my bitterly embarrassing Aspie-clueless mistakes, though.

I once genuflected at the eucharistic ritual; everyone stared.
I don't know why I did that. I guess I got consumed with the holy spirit.

I sang Happy Anniversary for my parents anniversary party.
There were about 50 guests, they looked at me with concern and the room fell deathly quiet.
Then I realized I was singing the Flintstones anniversary song....

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Haaaappy Anniversary....


My parents were blushing in unison.

I once walked into the ladies room by mistake at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI).

I knew something wasn't quite right while rounding the corners (no doors), because there was way too much chatter coming from within. (No talking in the mens room!)

You never saw anybody pull a 180 as fast as I did the second I rounded the final corner and realized the error of my ways. ("Where are the urinals?" was my first thought.)

Oh well, I blame it on that bar in the terminal, the one with the Orioles photos all over the walls, $1.50 pints, and oysters on the half-shell. Crap, I may still be a wanted man in Maryland...

Okay, that was the worst. I was never so happy to get on a plane in my life, getting the hell out of there.

like id tell you

Last September, Mom and I took the dogs to the park. It was one of the last really nice days left of the year, so I decided to wear a sundress. Well, I took one of the dogs up to the top of the hill and we got there, a bunch of birds were flying over us. Afraid they were going to poop on me or something, I screamed and started running down the hill in the opposite direction with the dog. As I was running, I slipped and skidded down a good amount of feet. The dog came, too. My dress ended up flying right up and it wasn't covering up everything it was supposed to. The worst part was a boy at the top of the hill got a great look at everything. Fortunately, the birds never did poop on me, but I did get covered in scrapes on my butt and grass stains all over that sundress.

Another time was when I was thirteen, I was in line at a grocery store with my grandma. I told her I was dizzy, and she told me to go sit on one of the benches. As I was walking towards it, I passed out. When I woke up again, pretty much everyone in the store was right in my face, all really worried about me. How embarrassing.

Oh, I just remembered one: I was about 12 or 13. (You can't tell by my avatar, but I am a girl.) My parents forced us all to go camping together: my parents, who were always arguing about everything, my 3 brothers, who constantly teased me, and my younger sister. It was the camping trip from hell. I hated everything about it. Well, we were going to go swimming in the lake, so I went to put on my swimming suit. It was a one-piece. It felt a little funny after I put it on, kind of...different. I put it down to a sudden growth spurt. I didn't realize, until I had walked all through the whole camp grounds, that I had it on backwards!

Woah, I have done so many stupid and embarrasing things I would have to write a novel! I think the one everyone here at college likes best is when I ran face first into the refrigerator 'just because'... Still don't know why I did it!

i can not really remember. i do not feel embarrassed. i feel silly however after making a mistake, and i feel anxious about making an almost fatal mistake (like the second example).

mistake from last week:

i argued with a person who said she thought i was at the oaks pub (in neutral bay) on the previous night.

she was looking at me while we were waiting at the counter of a cafe.
her : were you at the oaks last night?.
me: no not me sorry.
her: i know you were there because nicole told me!!
me: who is nicole?
her: don't play dumb with me robert!!
me: i'm not robert. you have me confused with someone else...
her:..yes yes hang on robert...(then to me) sorry i'm on the phone.

she was on a handless mobile phone with an earplug and i did not know.
she seemed to be looking at me but i was not looking directly at her so i was mistaken. it was also a coincidence that the answers of the person she was talking to must have corresponded with mine in general content and tempo.
------------------
the worst one in the last few years (almost fatal in a sense):

i released a new version of a software platform i wrote that is used as the central control system of a company i work for.

when i write software, i always get the code correct first, and i design the aesthetics of the screens last.

so while i am developing the processing code, my screens are a hotch potch of input boxes and radio buttons and check boxes and list boxes and text boxes and command buttons etc.
i do not bother to place them any where in particular. it looks like a hand full of fridge magnets thrown at a blank fridge door.
also i do not label my buttons appropriately until i am tidying up the presentation (aesthetics) at the very end.

i demonstrated the final product to a meeting of people and they agreed to release it as the new system for the company.
so i made the installation dvd's and gave them to them and i thought that was the end of the project.
but i compiled the 2nd last version by mistake.
it was the version before the screen tidying.

i write my screens to amuse me before i edit and fix them for release.

there was a menu item labelled "f*ck off" (which should have said "exit"), and there were buttons like "the useless report that ian wants" (should be labeled "member points by region summary report"), and "the que sera sera report" (should be labelled " forecast wizard") etc.

also there was a screen which said "key stone cops episode : " and then the date , that was supposed to be captioned "Executive Work Schedule :" and then the date
the screen contained large pad style buttons that showed each of the executives photos on the buttons. they click on their face and they get all their information and reports they need for the day.

in the design phase, i went to http://www.uglypeople.com/ and found random pictures that amused me to use as my bosses faces shown on the buttons.

for animated icons on buttons like "create new client" i used rude animated icons which were suggestive of procreation. for the "dirty data analysis" module i used a picture of a dog sniffing another dogs bottom.

but that was the pre release version which i totally tidied up, and i supplanted the proper pictures of the execs, and the proper animated icons and the right labels etc to make the release version.
but i released the prerelease version by mistake, and it had been installed on about 50 computers before the error was noticed, and it was immediately censured, but many people explored it and it ruffled feathers extremely.

the correct version was installed later that afternoon.

so my job was maintinence at that time. I worked in that department for more hours ( when I was working) . this was confusing at first however quickly turned to will this woman ( women*) sue me .? yes now to the funny part I was cleaning the front womens restroom and mind you I had my cart blocking the entry way so no one would could come in on me. however it didn't work. there were four stalls and I heard four stalls click and lock at the same time . I was turned around at the time in the large stall in the back . ok first thought what to do?
so I turned around and looked to see who it was .: it was a attractive women my age maybe a little older. second I just stood there and smiled she smiled back . third my values came in to play : I asked what do you want me to do? she replied I don't care . ok then I asked for reclarefiction : Do you want me to stay here? She started prepareing to go to the restroom and I freaked out I didn't want to get fired for improperness with customers and ran like as fast as I could yelling bathroom is closed!
