This story actually won me a t-shirt on our local radio station! Many years ago I was going out with a lad who was in a football team. I arranged to pick him up from a match and I parked in a space outside the sports hall. After a few moments I realised that I was looking straight into the changing rooms with all the football team in various states of undress. I decided if I moved they would realise I could see them so I stayed put and buried my head in the A to Z map! Eventually after about half an hour he came to the car but when I tried to start it I realised I'd left the lights on and the battery was flat! Then he looked up and saw the last few players getting dressed and teased me relentlessly about being parked there. To top it all the players had to push my car down the road to get it started so I was a bit red faced - but so were they!!! Have you got any embarrassing stories to share, my friends? |

When I was in high school, I was involved in the sign language club. We would be on stage with the choir and sign the songs they were singing. Earlier that week I was riding my horse at home and I fell off and injured my arm. I could not move it very well...couldn't flex it actually. I was in a sling for a few days. At school we had a concert and I had to sign with the rest of the group but the trouble was, we had to get ourselves on stage...from the front. So while everyone was lifting themselves up, here I am with a bad arm!! I tried my best to get up...hoisting my body up by my arms and I end up smacking my face right on the stage...with my rear in the air...facing the audience! Of course everyone is laughing as my friend tries to drag me to my feet. Yes...good times.

Up and out at 5 am, home at 10 pm. We had to see as many bird species as possible, over hundreds of miles. Well I was with a car load of men, the only woman (serious birding, very male dominated hobby). We were going everywhere through the barren, treeless, bushless Nevada desert. It got time for me to need the loo (toilet), not a tree or bush in sight. The guys said they would turn their backs, but I just couldn't do it. Finally, now in allot of pain, on our way into a reserve, we passed a hut with toilets. I jumped out of the van, rushed to the huts, got in, got my trousers down and perch across the hole in the ground when in walks one of the men . In my hurry (agonised hurry) I had not see the little man figure on the door, or locked the door. Both self and man were embarrassed , but with a whole half day together we decided to just 'get over it'. I'll wait to post my second most embarrassing moment, which happened again on a birding trip. |

I was sooo embarassed and the teacher I knew was really struggling to keep from an hearty belly laugh herself just lookin at me. Needless to say, my mother came to school with an set of different clothes for me. Good thing we wore "petty coats" back then. |

I had to go " wee wee" also, So I thought that there was this nice bank of "rocks" nearby I'd creep over there to do my duty. I had just gotten bent down when she came up behind me and grabbed me, and scared the livin day-lights out of me, wet on my socks naturally...and she's saying, "Not here".., it's Spring...the rattlesnakes don't have thier "rattlers" in spring, they could bite you as your bent over...they live amoung the rocks!. So there I go jumping up quick like..while she's "laughing" and I'm there I am..walking the "asparagus trail" shaking my leg from the wet socks, commenting that "alone" would most likely posion them if they tried to bite me,.. I eventually "stuck out" my foot in the river before heading home. she kept adding to the comments all along this episode until we were just cracking up laughing by the time we got home...on what "could of " happened. Esp with the comment of how snakes like to "nest"....My god, what next. LOL. |

The traffic was much easier than I thought it would be and I got there an hour early. About eight in the morning. Can't remember why I didn't park in the school carpark, but I didn't. I parked opposite the school and sat listening to the radio to calm my nerves. I watched the kids arriving, wondered if I'd end up teaching some of them. After about forty minutes there was a tap on my window. I looked up and it was a couple of policemen. I wound my window down, and they asked me what I was doing there. Seems a concerned resident had phoned them up to say there was an odd-looking man parked by the school, watching all the kiddies going in and muttering to himself. 'I've come for a job,' I said. The coppers didn't look too convinced. Must have been the dirty mac and the magazines that did it. One of them got on his radio and checked out my story. When I finally got into the interview room, there was a panel of four waiting for me. The head looked up, grinned, and said: 'Ah yes. Mr Ravenscroft. So, how long have you been a pervert?' Sheesh... I got the job, though. |

The ground was soft and muddy and we were playing an interschool match. As I was running down the field with the ball tucked under my arm, a member of the other team grabbed me around the waist. As I was covered in so much mud, he slipped down my legs, and I stepped out from his grip and ran on. I suddenly realised that he had my shorts and I was naked from the waist down. I made a headlong dive into the mud trying to hide my embaresement. But as I had run about fifty feet it was a bit late. Boy were my cheaks red, and i dont mean only the ones on my face. For quite a while I was known as the streaker. |
