Share an embarrassing moment

[Wereman]

So we all must have experienced a time or a situation we got ourselves in and did not know how to get out of it. And even if we got out of it we feel so embarrassed that we wished we'd be disintegrated, beamed to another planet or shrunk to the size of a hair ball.
Evidently it takes courage to count an embarrassing moment so here it goes:

When at the airport I decided not to check in any luggage and take my carry on luggage on wheels in the plane (increases flexibility drastically while traveling, but limits the belongings you can take with you). The lady at the check-in counter however asked to place the luggage in the metal frame to measure whether the carry on fits in the overhead bin. Even though it was a little overpacked it did fit well in the overhead, but the luggage had to be pushed into the metal frame. The embarrassment came when two other men waiting in line to check in had to hold the metal structure while two other men were pulling the carry on out. A total of four men were helping, while I attempted to get hold of the carry on luggage as well.
Lo and behold we got the carry on out and I begged with the lady at check in not to put it in the cargo hold for it would not make it on the connecting flight, which she understood.

So much for sharing an embarrassing situation. Take up the opportunity and share an experience where you were embarrassed beyond turning red and wished you would have gone under while now you can laugh about it.

Oh yah, and me failing my first on the road driving test is something I began laughing about this one a year later.

Oh yah, and me failing my first on the road driving test is something I began laughing about this one a year later.

Oh that happens to the best of us. I failed my first one (improper left-turn o..o;), but it turned me into a way better driver. Haven't had an infraction since.

I'm not usually one to get embarrassed easily but I've been blitzed a couple times and felt like living under a closed ditch for a little while. There's one that is easily the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me but probably happens to quite a few guys while at home, and another that happened on campus last year.

I'll get the worst over and done with quickly. When I headed to work one day while living at home I was a little sloppy with my laptop and forgot to close it down. I headed out the door in a bit of a rush and forgot there was something rather incriminating on the desktop: pornography, that's gay pornography. Now of course this was the day my laptop decided to stay on, and the day my mother decided to vacuum my room, and of course stumbled across it. When I got home, I had to come out of the closet to my mother under pretty awful circumstances and I can't help but laugh about it to this day. What's worse is she thought that I was the one in the pornography, and had to clear that up in a sort of embarrassing double-whammy. It's something I laugh about to this day.

Last September was another bad one where I was in an organic chem lab with a few other students working on condensation. Everything was going fine, but at one point in these classes you need to set up what's called a West Condenser: a cooling tube that has pressurized water that flows against gravity. So during one of the first classes, the condenser became over-pressurized (tap was turned a bit too high) and simply burst off! It drenched (no exaggeration) about 4 classmates beside me and we had to finish our full experiment covered in water thanks to my doing. Now I DEFINITELY laugh about this to this day, because I was the first out of that class xD

If somebody can beat that first one, then I'll tip my bonnet to ya and say bravo!

I never get embarrassed. It's either that, or I repressed all the embarrassing memories. xD

Hmmm well right off the bat, a doozie here. When I was about 15-16yrs old I was just starting to get into the more fun parts of the fandom... our house only had ONE computer, it was in the living room.... Soooo I had made a habit of printing off some rather juicy dragon and dino art. At the time I was more straight though so it was all females. WELL, my dad comes home early to the sound of a printer working overtime and catches me printing off some of that art, he looks at it and pretty much says "you know thats not real.. right?" and left.. lol

Next... Back when I was 18 I had my first boyfriend out to visit... I told everyone he was a old school friend of mine who moved away, yeah after the 2nd night of us just "falling asleep in the same room cause we were so tired" they put two and two together. My siblings were still unsure exactly what was going on... there was some drama, but it all blew over and people kinda forgot about it fast... till my brother got my desktop as a hand-me-down. I thought that I had removed all of my personal stuff from it, but apparently I had a bunch of photos of me and my mate (nothing bad, just us together cuddling up and stuff) and that pretty much was my coming out to my younger siblings XD


... and I even wonder why I am the guy I am today.  :roll:

Kirkus dragged me here by the ear. dammit that rhymed

Uh....in highschool we were going to P.E. class and there was like, some stairs and a fence that blocked the sidewalk from the school parking lot that looked like this:

(I drew this with a mouse in 10 seconds if you expect art go to the Louvre)

So as all the sheep*cough* students followed their shepherd*cough* Gym Teacher and climbed the steps, I, fresh in my teens and looking for adventure planned to jump off the concrete wall, and use the fence and railing of the stairs to climb up the wall and squeeze between The Gap. It was only about 6 feet high and I had done it before.

But I had new shoes soooo.

I slipped.

And I fell.

Onto that car.

That happened to belong to the school's Spiritual Councilor.

And broke one of it's headlights as i bounced off the hood and landed on my feet.

So after assuring the gym teacher that I was fine and vowing not to sue her or the school I went to the councilor and told her that I fell onto her car. She laughed, because, really, it was kinda funny, and told me to pay for the damages. Even my parents laughed as they wrote the check. And of course all the kids laughed and always reminded to be wary of extreme schoolyard parkour throughout grade's 9 10 and 11.

That's about all I got really >.>

During a night, I wanted to be a big bear. I put on a bunch of clothes, t-shirts, sweaters, pants. Stuffed a pillow under my shirt. Trying to make myself feel like a big cozy bear. Took my mattresses and furniture in my room and made an awesome den. I even filled the cave with books, more clothing, CDs, everything I had. Just threw all that stuff in there so when I crawled in I had to dig my way into the cave. After I made a nice spot inside, I curled up and went to sleep. My Mom doesn't usually do this but that morning she walked in the room. She saw all my furniture and mattresses piled together. All my stuff just thrown on the floor. She flipped and started to freak out. She tore my den apart, saw what I was wearing, "What is this?" she kept on saying. I told her to go away, I'm sleeping. She had to goto work, so she left. I layed alone. In the morning light. Feeling like a big fluffy bear.

Thank you all for sharing an embarrassing story, Kirkus, your's tops it all.

Kohl, that is an adorable story, expressing your animal side, I love how you express your animal side. To say that Jazzy's artwork could make it to the Louvre  ;D. Though your experience was one of these embarassing moments in highschool if which I have seen quite a few videos

Though it is interesting how some of the embarrassing moments was to come out towards your family. Never happened with me though, but one aunt asked me outright whether I was or not, which partly came as a surprise.
Adding to Kirkus' account, in college I handed my laptop to the IT and the staff there was a good colleague who had a crush on me. When she looked at my cookies and cleaned my browser's cache she put two and two together. We laughed about it from the beginning.

[kohl]

I figured furries would like that one.

:P My mom just asked me outright. "So, are you gay then?" I burst out laughing. The subjects only been brought up once after that when she was asking if I was going out with this guy I had over.

Okay, maybe not as embarassing, but today i found out skype wasn't just a video call program, it does IM stuff too. I feel like an idiot for avoiding the program thinking it was just for video calling, when i could have been using it earlier. Can you say "Duuuuh", I know I just did. Now if you don't mind, I going to add skype to my means of communications, and bang my head on a wall

[Wereman]

Yup, skype is a great tool, though it has been the cause of headache at random times to the extent that in my skype profile I types "I HATE SKYPE" followed by a few minutes later "now the whole world knows"
