February 12 Embarassing Moments!Over this weekend, I got the comments once again about how I never seem to get embarassed....To others, it appears I can act the fool, talk to strangers, dance like a Thunderbird, or do anything without embarassment. This is true to a certain extent. I have a high embarassment-tolerance and not many things I do will turn me shades of red (more likely to occur in anger!)...
Rest assured, I do have SOME embarassing moments, well probably more like SEVERAL...but just to prove that they don't embarass me that much, I'm going to list them for the world to read....
BUT....
I know we've all had embarassing...and what's more they make for funny reading for others. You know how sometimes you think you've been really embarassed...and then you read about other people's exploits and realise you can once again hold your head up high in the public arena??
Well...that's what I'm talking about!!
I'm hoping that you'll join me in reliving and admitting to some of the embarassing things you've done...YOU CAN ALWAYS BE ANONYMOUS IF YOU HAVE TO (but where's the fun in that then, eh?)...
I'll start off minor. But be aware, there are more where this came from (i'll update occassionally)
 Embarassing Moment #1:
I have never been a sporty person, in fact I seem to be missing the hand-eye coordination gene, and combine this with my bizarre running stance, and you can understand why I dreaded sport days at school. In Year 9, at the merry young age of 14, the class was learning the discus. I was immediately a disaster, and couldn't even control the way the darn thing went. At any rate, my Phys Ed teacher - a very thin and spritely red-headed woman of about 27 or 28 - kept giving me motivational talks, words of encouragement that she didn't realise were eternally wasted on me. After several attempts, I was getting worse and worse. Dear Ms X with her last remaining bit of patience told me to really concentrate, to close my eyes and put all my force behind me. This I did. When I opened my eyes and saw the flock of people moving towards the teacher, I felt that icky feeling, and when she emerged from the crowd, mouth bleeding and half a front tooth missing I realised what had happened. Yep, my discus straight into the teachers mouth with a force unlike any other I have ever or will probably ever produce. Fellow students congratulated me, the teacher had about 2 weeks off work and had to get her teeth crowned, and I still list this as one of the more embarassing moments of my life.
Embarassment Factor: Excruiciating

The other day, out for lunch with Nina at the local shopping centre....was just walking around after we ate, checking out shops and stuff. Nina was describing to me the look of someone she knew, and used a strange terminology to describe it. Thinking this was quite funny, I attempted to laugh with a mouthful of water, and succeeded only in spitting it out. Unfortunately I spat it all over a lady, but mostly on her unhappy toddler in a pram. I would have apologised, except that this caused me to look on in shock, in a display that then caused me to begin choking. She just glared at me. Nina walked off so as not to wet herself, as she was now also quite embarassed!!
Embarassment Factor: Humourously Mild
(I don't know the woman and am not likely to ever see her or the child again, except maybe the child in a few years for counselling due to this traumatic event!!!)
OK, so now tell me your more embarassing moment, release it, and leave it here for all to read (and chuckle about!)....
I'll tell you (more of) mine if you tell me yours..... Comments (7)
