Hi Ellen. I can't even count all the embarrassing moments I've had. The last one I remember was at Costco, the busiest place in town. I was looking through the boxes of oranges trying to find the best. The stack was high (I'm short) and the boxes are heavy. I tried to move a box on the top and lost my balance. I fell down, the box of oranges fell on me and the oranges rolled everywhere! I could have ended the embarrassment rather quickly (well, once I got up), but I had to chase all the oranges rolling down the isles. I was so embarrassed that I didn't go back to Costco for 2 months!
I WAS WORKING FOR UAL AT OHARE AND HAD THE PLEASANT EXPERIENCE TO MEET AND GREET ROBERT REDFORD. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GATE AND I SLIPPED AND FELL LITERALLY ON MY FACE. (FRACTURED NOSE AND CONCUSSION) I WAS BLEEDING AND ON THE GROUND WHEN MR REDFORD MET ME INSTEAD. HE WAS SOOO CONCERNED ABOUT ME, HE CALLED OUR VIP OFFICE EVERY DAY TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING. SUBSEQUENTLY, I MET HIM AGAIN AND PROMISED HIM I WOULD STAY ON MY FEET. HE WILL NEVER FORGET CHICAGO AND ME. OUR MAYOR IS REALLY FUN AND I THINK HE KNOWS YOUR NAME IS ELLEN, I THINK HE MAY HAVE BEEN LAUGHING. YOUR THE BEST!
Dear Ellen,
The most embarrassing moment in my life ever was when we decided to go to the movies and see the movie "Aurthor." We took the 2 boys the babysitter and I was about 8 months pregnant! We were in line at the concession counter and in my mind I was thinking I want a large Coke and popcorn! It was very busy and I just kept thinking that! When the girl finally got to me, what I was thinking and what I really wanted didn't quite come out the way it should have! What came out was, I want a large C**k! Rhymes with POP! The look on my husbands face was like a stone and he said, "You can't have one!" The girl looked at me and said, "Looks like you already had one!" and my babysitter was literly on the floor laughing! The people that were around me that could hear me were laughing so hard that all I wanted to do was crawl into a hole and stay there the rest of the day! So Ellen...that was the most embarrassing moment in my life! I could never top that one, ever again! I finally did get my large Coke and Popcorn! I laughed through the whole movie, but it wasn't the movie I was laughing at!
I have had so many embassing moments that my husband says he needs to keep the video camera on me. There's two that I can think of right now. My husband & I were visiting with his brother and his wife at there house, they already had another couple visiting at the same time. So all three of us couples were visiting in the living room my husband & I was the lucky ones to get to sit on the hand me down orange rocker love seat. It was the center of attention in the room while visiting the rocker love seat tipped over and all you could see was the top of my shoes. My husband was able to get out of the position but I was stuck there.
2nd. When our two daughters were young my husband & I had takken them bumper bowling. I was heavier & didn't feel like bowling so I was giving advise to my daughters on how to really throw the ball. Next to us was a younger girl in her socks bowling well my youngest Ashlee fell with the ball & hurt her fingers so my husband Dennis & oldest daughter Tiffany were coaxing me to take Ashlee's turn & show them how it's done, I didn't want to rent shoes to throw the ball once. So I get up there in my socks & get ready to really show them how it's done, running with the bowling ball & released it so I could watch it go done the lane. Well I was paralized my legs kept spreading out farther & farther I was trying to push them together with my hands: (Not a Chance)I did the chinese splits perfectly. I was so embarresed my butt was up about 2" but it all went down completely in slow motion. I turned around & ashlee quit crying & was laughing, Tiffany was laughing & spewing coke everytime she took a drink & looked at me. I cant rememember if it was my husband or Tiffany that was actually rolling on the floor. I could get up I had to scoot off the floor & have my husband help me up. Everyone saw it. I felt like I rode a horse for about a month I was definately sore. My husband said if he didn't know better that it looked like I meant to to the chinese splits. It was perfectly done & in slow motion.
Several years ago, I was invited to a luncheon meeting for the Association of Professional Meeting Planners aboard the Blue and Gold Cruise Liner crusing the San Francisco Bay. It was a great lunch and cruise tour. I needed to go to the bathroom and, if you have ever been on one of these Bay Cruise ships, the restrooms are rather small. After I finished my business, I walked back to the dining area and some of the meeting members were pointing at me. Somehow the toilet paper had become attached to me and I had a trail of toilet paper from where I was to the restroom. I cheerfully pulled the paper off and walked head high to my table.
Once, back in the 80's before all the security was in place, I thought I was late for a flight to an important meeting in Nashville. I was running barefoot for all I was worth through the airport but when I got to the gate the door was closed! So, oblivious to all the people standing and sitting around me, I threw myself against the door and started beating my fists (One still clutching my shoes) and feet against it as I yelled for them not to leave me! Gradually, oh so gradually, it began to dawn on me that something wasn't quite right and I slowly turned my head and realized that NO ONE had boarded the plane yet! Gathering the shreds of my dignity around me I walked away to a hidden spot and, after putting on my shoes, reappeared only after everyone else had boarded, careful to behave as if I hadn't made a complete fool of myself just minutes before.
Ellen, that is human.
A german policeman ruled the traffic in a funny way in the middle of the street. All cars met in the middle and ----crash. No people were hurt, it was funny to watch it even I sat in one of these cars.
The republicans who are talking stupid things in front of a lot of people without feeling ashamed are embarrassing. How comes, that they still go around and preach against the marriage of gays?

My most embarassing moment in front of alot of people was un my 7th grade spanish class. We had to make a commercial in spanish. Our teacher video taped us in front of the class. We were advertising laundry soap. We had on two white t-shirts the top was muddy we asked how we were going to get the mud out, in "rode" the White Knight of clean and ta-da one magic laundry soap moment later we were going to be sparkling clean. Well to show this in the time of old. We had a clean white shirt on under the dirty one, the teacher was to stop taping for the second it took to take off the ONE dirty t-shirt on top while the clean BOTTOM stays in place and back on comes the camera to finish our commercial. Easy right?, not so much!, as you may have guessed BOTH of my t-shirts came off! Duhnt-ta-da-duh! Doesn't get more embarrasing than that!
