just a thought ladies.
i had a red-faced moment today which i thought i'd share....and it got me thinking that perhaps we could have a giggle by sharing our embarrassing experiences.
:-)

i'll go first....

today, i was walking along one of the busiest shopping streets in glasgow when the zip on my skirt broke!!
as if in slow motion, i felt it start to slip from round my waist (there's no button...it's just the zip holding it up)....
i had so many things in my hand that i didn't know what to do.
LUCKILY i just managed to catch it in the nick of time....before it landed round my ankles.
the thought of being left standing in the middle of the street wearing just my pants makes me cringe so so much!!!

what about you guys???

Good idea, Gail. Sounds like quite a moment for you! I hope you were wearing clean, nice undies!

The most embarassing moment I've had was in high school. It was during the passing period so everyone was out walking the halls, changing classes, and I was coming in the main hallway from outside, where it was raining. Well, my foot slipped and I did the splits (which I can't normally do) in the hallway! If that wasn't bad enough, there was a group of "popular" girls right behind me and they stopped to see if I was ok, but they didn't tell me that my pants had ripped from the inner thigh up under my crotch, all the way around the back of my leg to my outer thigh! I didn't realize that until I started to walk and felt a draft...I burst into tears and ran to the bathroom. Thankfully, I was an aide in the main office at one point so I ran in there and told them what happened and they let me hide there and wait for my mom to bring me a new pair of pants! What a day!

oh lol
that's awful julie
trying to think of others that have happened to me...

once i was on a minibus with my mum (just nipping to the shops) and the driver was MENTAL.
he was one of those ones who puts his foot down then brakes REALLY hard at the last minute.
we were sitting in the front seat....there was no barricade between us and the driver's seat.
so he braked suddenly and i flew straight off the chair and landed on his GEARSTICK!!
oooh-er missus.......not THAT gearstick....
lol
i was right in the driver's cabin beside him, on the floor.
but instead of stopping, he just glanced down and said in a really broad yorkshire accent 'ye aw'right loov'....
eh .... NO!!!
hee hee
my mum was so mortified and in such hysterics, she just gasped 'oh gail'....and rolled about giggling.
:-)

Hey girls,
HAVE to join in here!
I have a colleague in an office in another part of the country.
I have to order all sorts of statistics off him at any given moment so that I can target my campaigns to our members.
Well - we were talking the other day about ordering some data (in the industry called a "dump" which is then "cleaned" - just the lingo!) and were discussing some legislation called the SPAM Act re: email allowances.
Well - aside from first calling the SPAM act the SPERM act on the phone to him TWICE - when we were trying to decide on what statistics to order he comes out with - clear as day and INNOCENT as you can get - "Um well, how about I just take a big dump for you?!"
Hahahahaha!
Well - you could try, but I am not sure that's physically possible!
Hahahahahaha.
Em
xx
(Incase its not the same in the US and UK a poo is commonly referred to as a "dump" here...hahahaha it was like he was asking me if he could have a big poo for me!)

Hi

Mine was when I went to the vets cos my cats had worms. I asked for a tablet to give them. The nurse on reception asked how big they are, I replied, holding my fingers about an inch apart, 'they are about this long' referring to the worms, she had to stifle a giggle and say that she meant the cats not the worms!

I quickly paid and legged it very red faced!

OH those are class!!!
em - how embarrassing!!?!??!
lol

this one didn't involve me directly but i LOVE this story from the local paper i used to work for.
one of the sub-editors was telling me that, way back in 1979, when the pages were type-set etc by hand....someone made a massive blunder with a competition to find the prettiest bride of the year.
instead of making the headline 'are you the bride of 1979', they accidentally missed out the 'B' and had a huge headline saying 'are you the RIDE of 1979?'
eh...who's gonna want to win THAT???

ha ha

Those are too good!! And yes, we do say "dump" here in America as well. That made me think of what happened today at work. Since it's towards the end of the school year here, all the kids are turning in their textbooks. Part of my job entails looking through them to make sure they aren't badly damaged. Well, it seems that the kids like to draw penises in their books and I was explaining that to these 2 teachers and I said, "Just today I've had to clean 4 penises!" -- meaning that I had to erase them or white them out. When I realized what I said I turned all red and tried to change the subject!
