GTKY: embarrassing moment!

[ThePregosaurus]

Hey! Just trying to jump start some conversation!

So here's my GTKY question: What's your most embarrassing moment? Give us all the humiliating details!

[vivela]

At my old job I was reeeally rushing to get ready for work and I grabbed an old sweater from the back of my closet. I was an ESL teacher.
So I'm at work all morning, and I go into the bathroom after lunch and as I am turning to leave, I notice something weird on my sweater in the mirror. I took off my sweater to investigate, and it turns out that at some point long in the past, my cat had pooped on this sweater. I'm not talking a stain, I'm talking a large cat poo that had been squished onto the back and dried.
So I'd been turning to write on the board all day with cat poo on my back. Worse, I was wearing a tiny camisole underneath and I had three more classes to teach. So I cleaned it as best I could, but there was still a big spot. Not only that, but while it had been totally dried out and scentless before, once I got the sweater wet it started to smell.
So basically I went back to class, and pretended it never happened and longed for the day when that batch of students went back to their home countries.

vivela LOL that's pretty bad!

I really don't have anything that's been super embarrassing. I got caught making out with a boy when I was 14 by one of my friend's mom. I've also had random things stuck to my pants from the dryer.

I'll share an embarrassing moment of DH's though. We started dating when we were teenagers and the first time we got a little more serious than making out, he farted really loudly. We still laugh about it now!

vivela, oh man. That's terrible! I remember having dog poo on my shoe once in high school and not realizing til I got a whiff and figured out it was me. Just keep your distance!

I typed this out before and it cleared when I went to submit so I got mad and left. Back to try again.

This is really TMI so please erase it from your memory asap. I've had some IBS issues for awhile now that really seemed to have gotten worse since my gallbladder was removed in January. Around March, DH had an appointment about an hour away so I went with to keep him company. We picked up some Wendy's to eat on the way. I waited in the car while he went in so I could feed DS. That's when I felt that awful feeling in my stomach. I rushed to unbuckle DS so we could run inside but it was too late. I pooped my pants. Explosively. In our fairly new car. An hour away from home.

I now get panicky whenever I think there's even the tiniest chance I have to go in public.

ETA: Sorry in advance that 80% of my posts will be poop-related.

I have similar issues at times and have told DH more than once to drive faster or just let me out before Parking so I can run to the bathroom. Thankfully, I've always made it. Rollin g down the window and getting fresh air helps me some. But I have considered putting backup clothes in my car.

@theprogosaurus I'm right there with you girl.

I started taking metformin in March of this year after I got my PCOS diagnosis. It creates HAVOC on your digestive system. When I started seeing the RE in May, she bumped me up to 2000 mgs. I do home visits for my job and I was out on the field, and my stomach started to rumble. I got to my client's home & asked them to use their ONE bathroom. It was loud. I was mortified. I never wished for the earth to swallow me whole more than that day.

Mine involves a toilet too. So I had gone back to my college to visit for a weekend and stayed with some girls from my sorority. We went out, and of course that cheap beer made me have to go bad the next morning. I went and when I tried to flush the toilet it wouldn't flush. I started freaking out. I finally told my friends that it wouldn't flush, I didn't know what to do. They said oh yeah, the toilet is broken, and they knew hey couldn't get a plumber until the next day! I was mortified. To this day, I much prefer going in a public place than go at someone's house now. I've been known to leave someone's house to drive to the nearest grocery store if I have to go!

I switched school districts for high school. I was scared my first day but I really amped myself up and decided to be confident. I walked right in, started walking across the lobby to sign in and tripped over the carpet and fell FLAT on my face! Arms and legs all out flailing the whole nine yards. Even the sign in teacher laughed. It was awful.

Also once I was in a show and I had a big song with lots of words(it's called a patter song for anyone familiar with musical theatre terminology). The choreography was basically a movement with every word. I got on stage and went blank. However I remembered all the choreography. So it was basically just an interpretive dance number. I burst into tears the moment I got off stage. It was the worst!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a huge klutz but I don't embarrass easily so I had to think in this a bit.


One time shortly after I started getting my period and I was still figuring everything out, I went on a road trip with some friends and our parents drove. I was just wearing a pad, and it wasn't enough. I had a pad-shaped dry spot and then a ton of blood on my pants-front and back. Had to use a bathroom in a gas station and somehow didn't realize what had happened till my friends pointed it out.

Freshman year in college I was in a big lecture hall. When the class was over I wanted to make it out before the crowd so I raced up the stairs two at a time. Unfortunately I got all tangled somehow and I fell up the stairs into the doorway and bounced onto the floor... In front of the entire hall who was turning and leaving. I picked myself up and didn't look back... From the outside it was probably hilarious, but at the time I was so embarrassed!!

At my last job, everyone was getting ready head into an all-hands meeting, so, of course, all of the women were going to the bathroom at the same time. I managed, somehow, while sitting on the toilet to pee out of the toilet and onto my pant leg and the floor. Everyone in the bathroom could hear it splashing onto the floor, and then I had to sit through a three hour meeting with urine soaked pants. I was mortified.
