Embarassing---Situations

A few years ago, I was taking pictures, better not say where, and all of a sudden I noticed this old lady with a really fine growth of hair on her chin. Even better, standing where she was, it really caught the sun. Could not resist "zooming in" and was rather pleased with the result. Showed it to my wife and mother-in-law, expecting amused responses at my rather good "character shot", only to be informed by my mother-in law that it was her oldest and best friend. I blush easily!

Embarrassing but advantageous,  when I was in the army my two mates and myself were on a charge (not unusual) for disobedience, there was an officer with a lance corporal who came from Norfolk, the posh officer told me to go and find sergeant charnley I went in the hall and saw some people coming along and in my suffolk accent I asked them heya sin saargeant chaarlie, evryone in the room heard me and my mates and the norfolk L/corporal started giggling which started the officer off as well, consequently we were let off the charge.

I had finished work for the day and was waiting for my husband to pick me up from the car park, it was getting late and the traffic was building up so I decided to walk to the entrance, save him having to queue to come into and then again out of the car park, I was just going to cross the zebra crossing when I saw our car, it pulled up along side me and I jumped in,only to find that it wasn't my husband, to make matters worse it was a lady driver with a  look of horror and panic on her face, I tried to explain as quick as I could the situation, but wasn't quick enough,she clouted me with her very heavy handbag and screamed, I shot out of the car to see find my husband dashing across the carpark to rescue me. It gets worse! I hadn't only got into the wrong car, but wrong make,wrong colour.....we had changed our car the week before-I have since had my eyes tested and now wear glasses (sometimes)
