You mean like facing somebody that you have known for years and can't think of their name? That's happened to me a few times!

However, I am sure some of the members will be able to beat that James!

 There is always the times when we find underwear in garments handed in for cleaning and they are obviously not the owners-- do we return ? or if a third party is collecting ( ie a husband or wife ) does that set off a domestic?

I challenged my husband to a race in a sports shop, telling him I could beat him by using the stairs if he used the escalator to the top floor, he stepped onto the escalator as I ran for the stairs, didn't even get to the first step, I missed it completely tripped fell and ended up flat on my face, all he heard was a slap as I hit the tiled floor....Hoping upon hope that no-one had witnessed this, I got up and turned round to an audience, couldn't move for embarrasment.Embarassed

I'll save the MOST embarrasing moment for later in the thread, after some moremembers have been brave enough to own up

I was in kindergarden...wearing one of those fluffy little chiffon dresses all little girls get to wear...swinging during recess...when the bell rang, I jumped out of the swing in mid air...my dress caught on the "S" hook in my hem....before I touched ground I had been spun around several times as my dress tore off me in one great big strip...I was dizzy...the teacher "laughing" and.. I got to sit in the teacher's office until my mother brought me something else to wear...yes, I was VERY embarassed.

.....but then my mother was pretty embarrased also....as I was in an Chirstmas Pagent going up the stairs to where we we singing in an choir, the little boy behind me tripped an grabbed my dress from behind to keep from falling, I didnt' know that...I knew he grabbed my dress though, so I turned around an slapped him a good  one along side of the face...turned my mother morbidly red faced out in the audience...it's OK..later on he became an "preacher"

BTW....my "halo" was over my eyes...and my "angel wings" were slightly slating off to one side....enough to make an Christmas angel disgruntled!...esp when your  only 5 years old.

We have near by us an old dog racing track..not used to much any more as they put in an Mall in it it's parking lot some time back, but when it's was in it's glory days...they decided to shoot off the July 4th fireworks there...as they'd be seen for miles around....well traffic was for miles around everywhere and we had some family friends with us and my hubby to be...we decided to have our parents let us closer to the stables to see if we could get closer to see  them. Well, they had this fence around the outside...maybe 8 feet tall, so the boys lifted my sister and I up...thinking we could sit on top of the railing, No problem we get up there to find out that there was about another 5 foot drop lower down in front of us...then just the 8 feet.  We watched the fireworks in an "ring side" seat so as to say...but afterward...the crowd behind us was one massive group and we couldn't jump down very easily...and so it was the boys said...well jump down in front....I looked down and guess what was there....an huge pile of straw with doggie droppings....I wasn't going to land in that...I mean, like would you?...no way! Well we argued over it....the boys assured us they'd go down first being bigger and "catch" us gals...hum...we had no faith in that one happenening...and a policeman was watching us from an distance...I was about to reinstate that I was not jumping down into an pile of Doogie do...when he came over and said to us "Promise me you"ll  never do this again...and I'll let you come down the side and help you get off the fence so you don't have to jump at all. So ,we promised we'd never climb the fence again and got jolly scot out of there as fast as we could...without getting smelly from doggie do.....If you could of heard our conversation with these guys though you probably would of laughed as we comtemplated breaking our legs from the jump......having doggie do hanging off us in "turds" and all kinds of morbid possible scenario's. Nope, I'm not doing it...I said.....We gotta get out of here before they close down the place!...We can catch you....humph...I doubt that...back and forth it went...what's an little doggie do amoung friends...that's  what you think mister...NOPE!...aw come on Shirley....you can do it!.....jump!NO!...Worse is worse, you might have to take an bath...come on Jump!...No!.... It was pretty embarassing by the time the policeman came over. He was about half laughing at us all.
