Hi! We all have embarrassing stories that we have done and it's just easier to laugh at yourself than getting down about it.

What are some embarrassing things you have done in front of the opposite gender (whether you just found them attractive or were interested in them)?

I'll start. When I was a camp counselor, my boss was trying to set me up with this extremely good looking guy who came to do some landscape on the campground. He told me to bring some drinks to him and his workers by driving this old golf cart that was loaded with lemonade and water to them.

This golf-cart was completely unsafe and wasn't as reliable as a normal golf-cart. Sometimes it wouldn't steer and if it did, it was uber-sensitive.

So, I'm nervous. If you know me, I don't get nervous around a lot of people. But for some reason, I'd act like a nervous 12-year old whenever this guy was around. So, even bringing him drinks and trying to make small conversation with him was nerve-racking.

I hopped into the golf cart and drove up to where the guys were working, but not before the steering got stuck and I crashed it into some trees and bushes RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

I was mortified but was hoping they were too busy working. Alas, that wasn't the case and everyone was laughing and the guy was looking at me as if I was drunk.

Needless to say, I was too embarrassed to show my face after that.

I don't really get embarrassed, so this is the only ''embarrassing'' moment I could think of. Years ago, two of my friends and I were walking back to the car at night after playing tennis... I saw this puddle on the ground in front of us, so I said, ''watch out for that puddle'', then proceeded to step in said puddle. :confused: lol

At first, I thought you said "poodle" and judged you hardcore for stepping on a poodle.

I do stupid stuff all the time.

I once quoted a internet claim "you need an IQ of 30 to open a door"
and guess what: when I was about to leave the room a few minutes later the door wouldn't open!

I never try to act like I'm smarter than a door.

That never ends well.

During a donkey basketball game in high school the donkey did his business on the court. I dismounted my noble donkey only to fall into the pile of donkey dung. Needless to say I got back on my donkey to finish the game all smelly like and scored a few baskets to win the game for my team. You can all keep laughing....I agree it's hilarious!

So many to share ..so little time...

Invited to the "cool" kids house for a party one weekend in my early 20's and as instructed walked to the back of the house to enter from the downstairs. Everyone was inside playing pool and so I strolled right up to the doorway without breaking my stride and attempted to walk through the screen door. I bounced off and landed on my behind in front of everyone.

Fell off the swimmers block during a swim meet with a packed house

Fell down a friends cement stairs and jumped up immediately because "I was fine" and proceeded to dance that night. It was a sleepover and next morning my ankle was the size of my knee and had to go to ER. Tore the ligaments in foot.

During another her sleepover I had a bloody nose in middle of night and woke up next morning to realize I had ruined her "favorite pillow"

ummm I think those will suffice for the moment....

There were at times when I was younger that my nerves got the best of me and I just like shutdown. It was near graduation day in High School and we had to take photos. I was already nervous waiting in lines and finally at the booth I sit down on a black stool. I look at the the photographer and pose. She tells me to move my face a little up and to the right by using her hand to grab her chin and move her face in the direction/pose. I mimicked her, hand and all. I didn't just turn my face, I used my hand to turn my face by holding my chin... haha.

She responds, "Are you serious?" I quickly retorted (as I was offended by the tone and was nervous), "No. I mean yes!" She just took the picture and I moved along. lol

------------------------------------

Second embarrassing story-

Another High School story, I thought this one girl was cute. I didn't want to be with her or anything, just thought she was cute. However, one day she approached me in front of my friends! Her and a friend of hers came over to me and I know my eyes went wide. She is like, "Hey, my friend wants to know your name (meaning she was interested in me). What's your name?" I said my name like after like 30 seconds, i was like "My name is...............................Ben." (at least according to my friends, I took that long). The two girls were like, "Well, okay... cya." and walked off.

Then my friends were like, "Dude, you like froze and took forever to say your name. Awkward. We don't know you." And they stepped away from me! Joking of course, but they joked that they didn't want to associate with me, haha.

I don't remember one that involves a guy. But this was after work and it was morning, like 6AM and I was tired and I was on my way out of the building. The walls were made of glass, so was the door. (I worked 9 hrs that night and was really really sleepy). And so I walked straight thinking I was headed to an open door, but no I wasn't. I realized that after I hit my head hard on the wall and saw the indescribable look of some 30 people (from another company) who were waiting for something, right outside. The embarrassment didn't stop there. I had to go through the real door. So I did, and these guys were, impressively, quiet. Oh and they stepped aside so I could pass through. I might have missed the chuckles but everything my head told me that time was "You're awesome, keep walking, you're awesome, keep walking."

I choked on lemonade and coughed it all over my husband's parents the first time I met them.

In my teens, one Halloween I was waiting for a guy to pick me up for our first date. While I waited, I was helping my mom fill a bowl with candy for trick or treaters. I was having trouble opening a bag of candy bars, and I was standing in front of the open front door pulling on it when it sort of exploded and I lost my balance and fell on the floor in a pile of candy...and ta-da, guess who happened to have been walking up the sidewalk just in time to see the whole thing? Always nice to start out a first date with a good laugh...right?

I was in the tennis team in middle school (the only sport I was decent in.) We were assigned to do laps around the football field while the football players were practicing. Of course the guy I liked was in the football team and I made sure to do my best and run as fast as I could. I slipped on a rock and feel to the ground...:mad:...and then the whole team started laughing at me. Oh bother.
