Come laugh at me

I need to share my story of embarrassment with someone, and figured you all might enjoy this. A few minutes ago I was sitting at my desk (which is away from everyone else, but it's an open floor plan so there are still folks in the area), scrolling through my phone, when it happened. I accidentally hit the Pandora app. Before I could do anything to stop it, Ludacris screamed out through my phone (because of course the music volume is as high as it could be for some reason) "YEAAAAH BABY!", and I immediately panicked. In my moment of panic I attempted to hit the pause button, instead hitting skip, and got to enjoy the first couple seconds of Gold Digger before finally managing to turn the volume down and turn off Pandora. I wanted to die. I don't even think anyone heard it but still, cheeks are on fire five minutes later.

With that being said, does anyone else have any embarrassing stories they feel like sharing?

Something similar happened to me at my old job. I was looking through the database and found a folder with videos. I opened one and whatever it was somehow unmuted my volume and all I hear is R. Lee Ermey (from Full Metal Jacket) talking about a tank. It was so loud! I panicked and fumbled around trying to close it.

I was trying to show pictures to friends of ours from my phone up onto the TV and accidentally showed a video of my husband dancing while drunk. But wait for it, he was wearing a dress,. Yup, pretty much the worst second hand embarrassment ever. Lol

I accidentally drunk dialed someone I was dating named Mike on a Friday evening and left a VM. Only problem was that I accidentally drunk dialed my Vice President, also named Mike. He came into my office that Monday and told me to put the phone down while drinking and made a promise never to speak of it again. He was pretty cool about it, but I was mortified.

I play Pandora in my classroom when we do small group activities or labs, and the station I listen to is generally very mild expletive wise. All of a sudden Everlast "What It's Like" popped on- you know, the non radio edit version. I have never ran across a classroom so fast to hit skip in my life.

I was giving a presentation to our senior management team when I misclicked a reference link that I saved in my favorites and The Bump popped up on the screen! I just about died. Thankfully nobody asked or looked confused, they were like will you just hurry up. I quickly closed out the window and took TB off my favorites. I should have known better, but there you have it.

A month or so ago I was looking at baby cribs on Amazon while at work, since we needed to purchase one in preparation for foster care. My computer screen is completely visible from the entrance to my cube, and my manager must have entered our office area super quietly because I didn't hear him coming until he was knocking on my cube. He clearly had been standing there a few seconds already and definitely had seen what was on my computer screen. I was so embarrassed. He's a socially awkward person, and I'm lucky he didn't ask me any awkward questions about if I was pregnant.

I totally left this site open at work once and got up to pee, and when I came back the CFO of my company was at my desk waiting for me to ask me a question.  I have no idea if he looked at my computer or not but OOPSIE.

When I was a freshman in college my cell phone ring tone was set as Buckcherry's Crazy Bitch. I forgot to silence my phone one day and it rang during class. It was at the bottom of my purse and I couldn't find it for an embarrassingly long time while my professor paused his lecture to wait for me to turn the phone off.

Same type of thing has happened to me. 

Fun fact - the little kids like to sing along with "Uptown Funk" which is just so weird and feels wrong.  They all know the lyrics so you know they listen to it at home :/

I've done that Pandora thing so many times, that I think my co-workers think I do it on purpose. Nope. Just didn't realize the headphone jack had come out before I hit play and blasted with you "Ass & Titties" (true story).

These are really funny. During my first and last year of teaching High School the whole administration staff would do daily drop-in's on first year teachers. This included the Principal, 2 Vice Principals, the lead teacher, and the mentor teacher. All teachers had to be in the hall during class changes but before I know it the whole admin team was in my classroom. I had bell work up and the timers going for my students but a few of my lovely students decided to be little shits and use the back computer as a party station. After the bell rings, and I am closing my door I here "My Anaconda don't...My Anaconda don't...My Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun". These little such and such's pulled up Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video on the middle back room computer with the speakers blasting. All I could do was calmly walk over and shut the computer down. I continued with my lesson as if nothing had happened. But inside I was dying of embarrassment. When I told my other teacher coworkers what had happened they helped me laugh about the whole situation. My feedback was still good even with Minaj's ass on the computer screen.

My embarrassing ringtone during a final exam in college... "Bad Boys" a la Cops theme song.

My most embarrassing moment was walking into what I was sure was the girls' bathroom in the business building on my campus, but the person at the sink had buzzcut hair, long cargo shorts, and looked like a guy at first glance. I froze and said out loud "omg wrong bathroom so sorry" and ran out.

It was not a guy. I was in the girls' bathroom. I felt HORRIBLE.

I sent out an e-mail once for work requesting a lock out for a piece of equipment that only required two locks (compared to some that require 30-40). This request gets sent to a listserv with 25ish people, just so everyone can be in the loop.

It was very obvious where the locks needed to go, but I was sent a reply back saying that I needed to draw it out and send the request back.

So, I sent the very basic drawing back with the phrase "With the attached for your viewing pleasure."

Except I wrote "With the attached for your viewing pleasuring."

Yikes.
