I'll go first. I have a million of them.
Back in the early 90s I was a young college student on a very large campus. It was the days of grunge. I thought I was looking super cute on that fall day. I was wearing a corduroy skirt with some thick striped tights. I used the restroom after class and then I walked better than a mile back to my dorm. Imagine my surprise when I walked into my room and my roommate pointed out my skirt was tucked up under my backpack. I had walked clear across campus thinking I was too cute and the whole time my tights covered butt was hanging out.

I did nearly that same thing... but it was on a high school trip in the 90s. Denim jacket, black knee length dress, black tights, construction books. We’d just seen a play in downtown Chicago and I ran out of the theatre and like three city blocks with the back of my dress tucked into my tights.

I went back to school in my thirties. I was wearing a new pair of jeans and thought for sure I looked hot! I left class to use the bathroom. As I walked by a group of people sitting in the hallway, they were looking at me. Man, I was looking good! On my way back to my classroom, one of the guys said, "Excuse me..." I was sure he was going to hit on me. He said, "You have a tag on the back of your jeans." MORTIFIED. It was the size sticker.

Similar story, but I walked 4 blocks in Manhattan with my skirt tucked into my sheer to the waist pantyhose. My butt was very exposed, and wooo doggies did I get some cat calls. Late 80s.

When I was 13, I was staying with a host family as part of a girl scout trip. The family, the other scout staying with me, and I decided to play poker. The host family asked me if I wanted chips, and in my literal-minded youthfulness, I replied, "No, thanks, I'm not hungry." Twenty-five years later and I can still remember the confused silence in the room before the host mom gently said, "Poker chips, honey." Also, thanks for this thread. It's been a particularly shitty day for me, and I needed the levity.  |

When I was a senior in high school, we left for our senior trip very early the morning after our senior banquet. I planned to sleep on the bus, so I wore my glasses (which I hated). Several hours in, I decided to put in my contacts and realized I forgot them at home. I thought not having my contacts was the worst thing that could have happened to me. On the way home, we stopped at an amusement park. My first ride was on a roller coaster...and when the seatbelt arm came down it hit and broke my glasses. I'm so very very nearsighted and couldn't do anything else at the park because I couldn't see. I just sat on a towel and sunned myself while everyone else had fun. Luckily my friends came to get me and led me back to the bus when the time came.

OMG jeremysgirl, my embarrassing moment is almost identical to yours! Back in the early 90s, I went shopping one day at lunchtime in Bridge Rd Richmond, which at the time was a very busy shopping precinct. I was wearing a skirt and pantyhose (hey, it was the 90s!). I had tried on a pair of jeans in one of the shops, and when I put my clothes back on, I must have tucked the back of my skirt into my pantyhose. I was walking along the street, when a girl sidled up to me and whispered "Your skirt is tucked into your pantyhose." I quickly ducked into a doorway and fixed myself up. God knows how many people got a look at my pantyhose-covered bum that day. I was skinny back then, so my humiliation was slightly less than it would be if I did it now with a much bigger bum on display. |

I went running around to several stores & ended up at the post office in a long line. After I got home I realized my shorts were split in the rear from top to bottom. I was wearing underwear but the butt part was a see through mesh material so I literally mooned everyone for who knows how long.

I was at the grocery store with my oldest DD, she was maybe 12, and she had gone to the next aisle in the hunt of something. I loudly said to her to "check and see if you dad's nuts are on sale". I didn't realize what I had said until I heard several snickers from another aisle, and one very loud gaffaw.
My husband cried when I told him, we all had a good laugh over that one and it is still around today!

My boyfriend was dropping me off at the subway and stopped just where there was construction. I was wearing a loose maxi skirt with a smocked waistband. When I got out of the car, I didn't notice that my skirt had gotten snagged in the seat, and it literally came right off. I was standing there, in a thong, in front of a construction site full of men staring at me. To say I was mortified was putting it mildly. I jumped back in the car, and made him drive me to another station. No way was I doing that walk of shame.

On the way to lunch with my now husband on probably just our second date, I stopped and bought a cute new cardigan to wear... and strolled right into the restaurant with the long size tape/label thingie still firmly attached all down the front of it. I loudly said to her to "check and see if you dad's nuts are on sale". When my oldest kids were really little, we stopped at the gas station one day on the way to church. I sat in the car nattering away to them as I usually did to pass time while my now-ex filled the tank. We got to church and the two-year-old proudly announced to everyone we passed, "Daddy gots gas." My ex was less than amused. |

When my son was around 5, he heard a boy talking about his "dick" and he came home and asked me what a dick was. As the honest mom I prided myself on being, I told him it was a word some boys use to refer to their penis, but that we call it the correct name.
Later that night when his father came home, he asked his father whether he knew that a dick was a penis. His father of course asked him where he'd heard that, and he said, "Mommy told me!"

I once worked with a condescending irritating twat. I was delighted to see one day that she had tucked the back of her skirt right into her control top pantyhose after using the toilet. I kept a straight face and didn't say a word. I was so disappointed when she discovered it before leaving the bathroom.
Karma got me back for that many years later. Shortly after one of my surgeries, while I was still on pain medication, we stopped at a McDonald's for me to get a bite and use the bathroom to pee. I had a surgical binder on and was in a lot of pain, so navigating wiping was a little difficult. I finished, washed my hands, and joined DH in line for our food. After a few minutes he hustled me out of there; I had a long long tail of TP hanging out the back waist of my sweatpants. Lololol I was mortified but the meds helped it to also be funny.

When I was 13, my mom gave me a bra for Christmas. I was embarrassed and stuffed it under the chair I was sitting on before anyone noticed it. Later that day we had some family friends come over. Our dachshund found said bra and pulled it out from under the chair and went running around the living room with. I.wanted.to.die.  Like jeremysgirl, I have tons of embarrassing moments. My sorority used to give the *Fickle Finger of Fate Award* for the person that had the most awful thing happen during the week. I won it 3 times in one year. I won't go into why I won it.  |

I was in my late twenties and we went to a fancy schmancy restaurant to have dinner with friends. There were two steps down into the dining area which was full of diners. I was wearing high stiletto heels and when I stepped down I miss stepped, fell and skidded spread eagle right under the table of two men. They were mid bite and both looked down at me under their table and asked if I was ok. By that time my husband got to me and picked me up and told the men, she's fine she does this all the time. It is true, I am a klutz.  |

I was dating a new guy in college and we went to DC for the day. We stopped to get a soft pretzel. He said something funny and when I laughed a piece of the pretzel literally lodged in my throat and I couldn’t breathe. He thought I was still laughing and I was choking. I got up and ran around to the back of the park bench and threw myself down on it (basically giving myself the Heimlich-my dad was a firefighter and told me that trick!)
In doing so I dislodged the pretzel which went flying out of my mouth and burped like I had chugged 3 warm beers! He looked at my disgustedly and I finally was able to tell him that I had been choking not laughing! We still dated for a while after that so I guess my wit, charm, and beauty made up for my gross belching skills! Lol

Before I started nursing, I didn't know anything about hospitals or how they worked or what the terminology was. Back in those days if you worked for one hospital on a casual basis, it was called "nurse bank". A 'bank' of nurses and if a ward had sick leave etc, they could call in one of the bank nurses to fill the shift. When I had my first interview at the hospital I would eventually work in, she was asking me about my career plans for down the track, and I mentioned that I might go back to finish my psychology degree at some stage, and she said, "yes you could still do that while working in the bank" I was a bit confused as this was a nursing interview so I said "I've never really been interested in that sort of work, I thought I would just work at the hospital still" I didn't know why she thought I'd suddenly take up banking as a career  ....lol. Despite that, they still employed me! |

yup. one day in my 20s, had a cute flirty skirt with a short sleeve linen blazer and high heels and panty hose....
got on the streetcar to go to work and felt like i looked so nice.
people kept looking at me and i remember thinking "wow... i must look really nice, everyone is looking at me". i got off to transfer to *another* streetcar to get downtown and when i got on and moved down the streetcar people were still looking at me. the streetcar was pretty busy and no seats and as the driver came over the speaker to encourage people to "move down to make more room" i did. i noticed two guys gave UP their seat and moved down the car behind me. wow!!! i was SO super-cute in my outfit!!!
one stop before MY stop, i reached down to smooth my skirt and when i did, it seemed like i was kinda pulling it down... like there was extra fabric or something!?!? yah... my skirt was tucked into the back of my pantyhose and my ass was on display for the entire world to see. i.was.mortified.
i got off at the next stop, fully blushing and embarrassed. i was so mad. NO ONE could say "hey, you might wanna.....". REALLY??!?!
for the next three months, i was SUPER early for work because i didn't want to see any of the same people who saw my ass hanging out.... and if i WASN'T able to be early, umm, i was late for work.

When I was 15 I was going through a hippy phase and on this particular day was wearing a very floaty, long silk skirt with a jumper whilst riding my bike. Now , my bike happened to be a boys racing bike so had the crossbar. I was riding down the main road that led to our capital city, very busy 3 lane road. I could see the traffic lights ahead turning orange so was about to start slowing down, when all of a sudden my bike came to a very, abrupt stop and I landed right onto the crossbar. My skirt had gotten caught in the spokes of my bike! I tried to entangle my skirt- no luck so I had to hobble about 15 feet to a traffic island in the middle of a 4 way intersection, CARRYING my bike with my skirt hiked above my waist. It was winter so luckily I was wearing black tights so no showing of underwear at least. Then I spent 10 minutes trying to get my skirt out without ripping in while people stopped at the lights just sat in the cars and stared at me. I eventually managed to wrap my skirt around the front and tied it in a knot above my knees. And yes, I continued riding another 15 minutes into town and met my friends, then rode the 45 minutes home again. Corinne |

I was playing tennis and I still have no clue how this happened, but my audio book started playing and let’s just say it wasn’t 50 Shades of Gray, but it might have well have been. Everybody on my court heard it and I wanted to just slink away.

in colorado, there is a gown called Limon. We pronounce it Lime-un
Google maps prounounces it Lee-mon.
Ds and I had used maps to get to a new shopping area that had a food court. The building was called Simon something or other. Ds read the sign correctly to reach i replied quite loudly, "Or it could be see-mon." The very conservative looking couple in front of us turned around shocked.
Ds and I cracked up. It was totally unintentional and until it was said outlook, I had no clue.

Was 16 and a newly licensed driver cruising around town during the evening. Apparently I missed the section in the DMV book that states that when turning left on a green light, the other driver has right of way. I couldn’t understand why there was a car approaching from opposite side and was driving toward me. So, I laid on my horn and then I realized it was a cop car I was honking at!😳 He proceeded to get on his loud speaker and exclaim “aren’t you embarrassed”?!? Hell yes, I was embarrassed! Lucky for me, he didn’t stop and ticket me! My best friend was in the passenger seat.

On the day I turned 16 I was on a mission trip on the eastern shore of va.
We were roofing a house where they'd been adding layers of shingles for 75 years and when we removed them the last layers were cedar and making a mess. I was little in size so my team had me go into the attic to spread dropcloths to contain the mess. It was dark and there was stuff everywhere and I didnt see that one of the cross beams was broken and when I stepped I dropped right through the ceiling into the little girls bedroom.
On the way down, the back of my jeans tore from the outer thigh all the way across my butt on the other side of the pocket.
The ceiling broke out in a panel where they fixed it the first time someone fell and somehow I landed perfectly in her bed on my back so I fixed the hole I made and by the time I got it patched and the pastor called my mom to tell her I had fallen we were late to get back to the high school we were sleeping in. We went right to the auditorium for worship and as we walked in they announced it was my birthday and that I had a rough day and they pulled me on stage to sing.
Still filthy.
Ass hanging out.
Wearing a black thong.
On Jesus stage.
I was mortified, my kids now think its hilarious.

My son was three and we were doing a mom and me swim class. My husband was in the other class with my daughter. My son was to swim across the pool to his teacher and then swim back to me. He swam across the pool and did a great job. He kept going right into the pool edge and sliced his head open. Blood was everywhere and they evacuated the pool. They called an ambulance. I convinced them to let me drive him to the er to evaluate for stitches. So off we went to the ER with me in my swimsuit. I had used my towel to stop the bleeding so I was standing in the middle of the ER dripping wet in my swimsuit. DH stayed with our daughter at class so I called my sister and asked her to bring me some clothes. You would think they would have something for me to wrap around myself but it was a pediatric er so no go. Super Super embarrassing!

I was 16 and on a French exchange, and got a bit over-ambitious with my French. Instead of asking the father of my exchange girl if he will be taking us to the dance as I had intended, I actually asked him if he would dance with me, in front of his wife, daughter and all her friends. Everyone gasped and then burst out laughing. He laughed. I was mortified. I still go hot thinking about it 35 years later.

The week prior my dear son (who was around 2-3 at the time) pinched is Grandma in the boob and she said "Quit pinching my titties". He thought that word was hilarious and kept saying it over and over. I told him that wasn't a nice word and the correct word was breasts. Fast forward to the dinner.. He came into the kitchen and asked what we were having and I said fried chicken breasts. We calmly walked into the living room and announced that we were having "Fried chicken titties" to everyone present. I could have died. The room went totally silent for a moment until our pastor started cracking up laughing~ |

Working on a college campus, I can't tell you how often I have seen the the dress/skirt pulled up by the backpack!
I think I've shared mine. I was shopping in the early 90's I was looking for a dress to wear to a wedding. I went into mall store and tried some on. I didn't like any of them so I went find more, found one and tried it on and also didn't like it. So I went to another similar store and found more to try on. I didn't like any of them either and went to put them back. But I realized that one of them was one of the dresses from the first store. I had walked out of that store with it and into this other one! No alarms went off but I had unintentionally shoplifted! I freaked out. I didn't want to walk out of the current store and go back. They might think I was stealing! And how would I get the dress back in the other one? I ended up just shoving it onto a rack of the current store and leaving.

A couple years ago I went to get breakfast in the hotel. DH saw me and said I had toilet paper hanging out of my pants!
Thankful we were early birds and the place wasn’t too busy.
