Help me not feel so silly...
I was sitting kind of slumped over in my car today, resting my head on my steering wheel. It was really silly, I was avoiding carrying in my groceries and doing my laundry, so I decided to hang out in my car a while and Facebook on my phone. All of a sudden my neighbor shouted my name and came running over. He thought I was passed out in my car. So I had to explain to him that I was really fine, just being lazy! Just a little embarrassing!

A few weeks ago I was just minding my own business walking down the street, a man started chasing me shouting very loudly 'excuse me, you've got something hanging out of your bottom'!! He grabbed hold of my arm and told me again 'there's something hanging out of your bottom'. It turned out to be my scarf blowing behind me in the wind! I told him what it was and he said rather snottily 'I was just trying to save you some embarrassment'. Yeah, don't shout and grab me in the street if you want to save me any embarrassment and next time go to Specsavers

The week of our wedding I was meeting a lot of my husband's college friends. For 2 years I had heard about "Cho" but never saw a picture. I answer the door and this huge guy with red hair and a lumberjack type beard/mustache saus "Hi I'm Cho". I look at my husand and say "But he's not Chinese" Thought I was whispering but he heard. Turns out "Choo" was his nickname since she was a railroad engineer. Luckily he laughed and we became friends.

My DH and I were going to get on MARTA (transit system) in Atlanta- heading up I had the choice of the escalator or the stairs. I chose the stairs and started at a fast(ish) pace. I tripped once, fell down but got up and kept going. Now, DH is beside me on the escalator and there are people coming down the stairs. So I continue at the fastish pace and tripped and fell again. I couldn't even look over at DH bec I knew he'd seen both times. I was dying of embarrassment but just brushed it off like no big deal. I'm such a spaz!

I'm not embarrassed really easily, but I am a clutz. I've fallen in some spectacularly embarrassing ways.
Just yesterday, I had the inverse of your experience. Someone was resting their head on their steering wheel, and it looked like they had slumped over. I thought I was going to have to knock on their window to see if they were alive, but fortunately, they moved before I did so.

My dd & I were visiting my sister, who lives in a neighborhood with cookie-cutter houses. I've pulled into the wrong driveway before, but usually realize it before turning the car off. I didn't recognize the kid playing in the yard when I pulled up, but sis has 4 kids so I figured it was a friend of one of hers. I opened the front door, another kid (again, whom I didn't recognize) ran past me out the door. I still thought it was another neighbor kid. I yelled "we're here" and got no response. Then I started looking around and realized the house way WAY cleaner than I've ever seen my sister's house. I quietly said to my dd "I think we have the wrong house" and about that time, a woman's head popped around the corner and said "yes, I think you do". Thankfully, she had a good sense of humor and told me I wanted the house 2 doors down. Sure enough, there in the yard was my niece, laughing hysterically Pam

When I was 18-ish, I had been talking to a guy for a while on the phone. We agreed to meet up in a very public setting - my cousin's wedding. I looked AMAZING in my cute strapless dress. When it came time for the bouquet toss and the guy still hadn't arrived, I decided to participate. I jumped up to catch the bouquet, but my dress didn't! I tried pulling it up in mid air, but instead fell and landed on a table where an old guy was sitting (he was quite amused). I ran into the bathroom to hide. About 20 minutes later, I came out of the bathroom and the guy I was waiting for was right there and said, "I caught the show." I was never so mortified.

I hope you're not the girl in the picture that went around the Internet about 10 years ago. She exposed the top half of her body.

Ripped my shorts at Arches NP in July. Had no idea as we walked into the visitor center with out 10 million other people. My DH was right behind me but obviously wasn't checking out my ass with the ripped shorts and bright pink panties showing. He went to the restroom and I went inside with my back to the entrance doors bending over looking at a display. Lady took pity on me and rushed over to give me the bad news. At 51 I was only slightly mortified. Made my DH go get my hoodie out of the car to wrap around my waist.

I spend half my life doing goofy things that either embarrass me or a kid. Just today I lost my balance (for no other reason than I exist on the planet) while talking to the tree guy who had to reach out to keep me from falling. I went out to lunch in a sit down restaurant in work in the garden clothes (baggy ass shorts with a t-shirt that was bordering on filthy and crocs.) I texted my friend and the text went to the wrong person. And that was all before about noon. I will spare you the rest of the day. I live in a world where my mantra is 'if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?' because I am huge dork, and I know it.

Oh, I have plenty. But if you ask DH or DD (who wasn't even there!) they'll say it was at the wedding of one of my best friends, Jeff. I've known Jeff since I was 13, long before I met DH. And Jeff's dad was my doctor when I was growing up. Anyway, we're at Jeff's wedding, and I'm around 5 months pregnant (and suffering from preggo-brain). Jeff's dad sees me (for the first time in over 10 years) and comes over to say hi. I go to introduce DH (who's name is Jim) to him, and say, "This is my husband, Jeff." Oops. We all laughed it off, and DH still thinks it was pretty funny. But wait! It gets better! Over a year later, Jeff brings his wife, Michelle, over to introduce her to my parents. He introduced her to them as Samantha. Yeah, that didn't go over so well with her. She never had liked me, but this pretty much sealed my coffin with her. No loss. She turned out to be a real bitch and the marriage didn't last long.

Last week DH and I flew to San Antonio. It's been 20 years since we have flown with checked baggage, and we ended up in the wrong place at the airport. We ended up going through TSA screening with the suitcases we had intended to check. Don't bother asking how stupid you have to be to do this, because I'm still trying to figure it out. Because our luggage was already on the belt, they wouldn't let us go back and check it. They confiscated all my hair products, perfume, contact solution, Lysol spray, DH pocket multi tool, and 6 bottles of ice tea. We held up the luggage search area for almost 20 minutes, as he unrolled every sock, and searched every crevice of our suitcases. The TSA agent was actually really cool, and posed for a selfie holding my gallon zip lock bags when I told him I was a scrapbooker. He even joked about having more than just The Alamo to remember about our trip.
When I texted my kids the picture DS texted back with what will be the title of the scrapbook page... "When you walk in gangsta Notorious B.I.G. and walk out shamefaced Nefarious O.L.D.".

We had just moved into a new neighborhood and got invited to a couples Halloween party with all of the cool people that lived there. We were having a great time getting to know everyone when all of a sudden I choke to death on a bite of pumpkin roll. (The first and last bite I have ever taken of a pumpkin roll in my life, BTW!) I mean CHOKED TO DEATH, can't breathe, can't swallow, can't talk, no air. Everyone freezes and starts freaking out. Then they circle around me like I'm performing a circus act while my husband tried to get behind me to give me the Heimlich and I'm dodging him and trying to get away from him because he's making a bigger scene than needed while a lady screams, "No, she's getting a tiny bit of air, I can tell. Don't do the Heimlich." Meanwhile all I want to do is run out the front door and die in the privacy of their front yard instead of in the middle of everyone in their living room. After about a minute, I'm 100% fine and we continue on with the party.

i was in my mid-20s and had a cute new outfit for work. i did my make-up and spent extra time on my hair. i thought i looked good!!
i walked up the street, waited for my streetcar, got on and everyone was looking at me. i thought "dang, i really do look good". the streetcar was jam packed and the driver tells everyone to move down the car (i didnt' get a seat). i moved down and this guy that had a seat jumped up and followed me down the car!
i got off at a very busy intersection, waited and then transferred to my second streetcar. people were still looking at me. i thought to myself, i really should spend a bit more time in the morning, it makes a BIG difference.
i dinged the bell for my stop, walked down the stairs and into the street. i happened to smooth down the side of my skirt and realized THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. the entire back of my skirt was tucked into my pantyhose. my butt was hanging out the entire way to work and NO ONE thought it would be a kind gesture to let me know... wasn't even wearing cute undies, it was the old, faded, ripped period panties. UGH.
for the next several months, i went to work early to avoid seeing any of the same people. totally embarrassing.

Yesterday I went to the lab wearing a cute sundress instead of my usual weekend casual shorts. While I was in line to register I noticed my belt had pulled my dress top down and 1" of bra was showing. I yanked up on my dress, my hand slipped, and I punched myself in the face just as my turn to walk to the desk arrived.

Nothing is more emberassing than "choking to death" in front of near strangers and being stared at as you die. Thanks for sharing.

I helped at a wedding reception last week. There were SO many leftovers. I told the mother of the bride start finding people to give this food to because most of the family did not live in the area and that is who was mostly left at the reception.Then I realized they weren't going home right away. It's a big family and it would get eaten. I sincerely hoped she didn't think I was trying to take some home. She gave me a weird look.

I texted my friend and the text went to the wrong person. That reminds me of something I did! I drove to my friend's house to pick up her daughter named Destiny. This is the jist of the conversation. Me: I'm outside Person I thought was Destiny: Who is this? Me: It's me M, isn't this Destiny? Person I thought was Destiny: What? Me: Isn't this Destiny's phone number? Person I thought was Destiny: This is Patrick I probably scared the poor kid! I'm outside. Isn't this destiny?

We lived in a row home. They all looked completely different, but it didn't stop her from walking into my neighbors home! That's why I always lock the door behind me when I get inside!

This is an everytime!
We built our house, as in every ( not so) square inch of the place ourselves. Even some of the furniture! While working in the place ,sometimes I would have to run to the Home Depot or walmart , usually in my dirty ripped smelly work clothes, no eyebrows, dirty hair and there I would always(always) run into " perfect" person. I have probably made somebody's people of walmart page.

Tasha, the same thing happened to my friend. She had 3 little kids at the time. Pulled in the driveway and everyone was sleeping, she was tired so she leaned her head back and decided to nap also. Her neighbour came and knocked on the window and woke everyone up. She was so mad and still tired! I would do the same thing if I saw that in my neighbourhood.

Just a little embarrassing! At least you were in your driveway. One time when I was in the first stage of pregnancy (so tired!), I fell asleep in the car pool pick up lane. My house was only a few blocks away. I had a teacher look at me weird because I was out! I wish I would have been 9 months pregnant! I might have got some sympathy.
