Embarrassing Moments

Recommended Posts

One time, (this was ages ago) I decided to get into my dads car though the boot, and some passer by thought i was being kidnapped! We had poilce waiting at our door, as thay had traced the number plate. There was a helicopter and everything. The police officer said that every police officer in London was on the lookout for me. Very :oops:

Oh, no Emma :shock: . I hope you did it gracefully, a sort of gentle swoon rather than a brick like drop to the floor :shock::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

Embarrassing moments, oh, I have a few, just trying to remember which I can bear sharing with a family forum.

 

OK try this, earlier this year at work (I'm a nurse in General Practice) a middle aged man (maybe mid 40s) came in to see me, had a high cholesterol, family history of heart disease and a dodgy blood pressure, so I did all the chat about heart health, explaining that he was, unfortunately a prime candidate for a heart attack unless we managed to change a few things. Towards the end of the consultation he asked if I could recommend a good web site for him to check out a few things for himself. I readily named the website of a highly respected heart health charity which I've visited in the past and I heartily recommend. To demonstrate I typed it into my computer at work........... but I made a typo :oops: , and an "ahem" adult site came up :shock: . I couldn't log off fast enough, and simply wanted to die, or crawl under my desk or something :shock::shock::shock: I thought sites like that were blocked at work :anxious:

 

Anyway, positive side, I realised that despite my manager's words that I could access any internet site, not just medically approved ones, so now I log on to Omlet in quiet moments at work.......... just a pity that I don't get enough of them :roll:

You were lucky that he didn't have a heart attack on the spot! :lol:

 

Emma....hope you are ok. Did you not have your breakfast?

i fainted in the changing rooms of river island once- i'd dashed out on my lunch hour to do some shopping, nothing in my stomach!

 

I bent down to pull up a skirt and everything went snowy, I heard a bang and it was my head hitting the floor- there I was, sprawled in the aisle, between all the changing rooms with a skirt halfway up/halfway down and heads peering out from behind curtains to see what all the fuss was about!

 

I ended up buying the skirt as I was so embarrassed.

:oops: Quite a few years ago I was on night duty, in charge of the medical unit, and a patient had a heart attack on the toilet :( the poor man was sat up but his head resting back on the wall, and as he had had his coronary, he had emptied his bladder all over the floor :shock:

 

My student nurse climbed over the partition and opened the door for us all to rush in, skating about on urine :shock: The poor man was hoisted off the loo and put onto the floor and we tried to resus him in the toilet area :shock:

 

Unfortunately it didn't work :( but we had to lift him up onto the stretcher, I was straddling his feet, as there wasn't a lot of room, the rest of the resus team were going to lift him on 3 and each time we did his feet went up my dress and shot the hem up to the bottom of my knickers :shock::oops:

 

Bear in mind it was when tights or stockings were part of the uniform, and as it was a summer evening, I was wearing the cooler option :oops: , so the whole of the arrest team were laughing so much at my predicament, the fact that every time someone came to help they skidded on the urine, and the whole thing was so awful, that the laughing was just stress relief :oops: Poor man :(

:D

Those stories are great!!

 

I remember once I went to take a paint stripper to my sisters. I got no reply at the front door, so I went round the back. I went in as the back door was open. I shouted hello and heard my brother-in-law shout hello from the bathroom. They were doing the bathroom up, so I thought he was doing some work. I walked straight in and he was naked in the bath. He went to get up and I shot out with a face like a beetroot! :shock::oops:

Brilliant stories :lol::lol::lol: Karen, that is classic funniness, although I feel sorry for the poor man. It would go well in a SitCom though.

 

Kate, I so understood your story because that happened to DH at work. His company had just introduced a method of denying access to certain types of sites from the work computers. DH was demonstrating this to a female colleague and typed in the Playboy address to show her that it wouldn't work. It did! :lol::lol: Poor, poor DH. He was so embarrassed :oops::lol:

When I still lived at home, about 19 years old, I came home a bit worse for wear, I walked through the house to the kitchen with my takeaway, put it on a plate etc, and proceeded back to the living room to eat it. When I opened the living room door there is my older brother doing the wild thing with his girlfriend (now sister in law) i MUST HAVE WALKED STRAIGHT PAST THEM and didn't notice and they certainly didn't.

 

I had to leave via the back door climb over a fence and then walk back to the front of the house all, with plate in hand, go in the front door for a second time and up the stairs to my bedroom.

 

I was very funny the day after, as I knew they must have cleared up the wrappers from my chinese takeout and wondered when they had eaten it! :lol::lol::lol:

 

I have since told them this story, and they didn't believe me until I mentioned the 'spooky' wrappers.

 

 

Kev.

One of my most embarrassing moments was in my first job at a motorbike shop. On a Saturday we would all go to the pub after work. The bike shop was on the Albert embankment on the south side of the Thames and the pub was over Vauxhall Bridge on the north side. Anyway as I was new I had never been to this particular pub. It was a gorgeous sunny day. I was the last to leave and followed my colleague. By the time we got there all my other colleagues were sitting outside and the rest of the pub benches were also full. My colleague who I was following mounted the pavement on his bike to ride down to the corner and park. I was only on a little automatic scooter that would not go up the pavement. I got off the scooter to push it up the kerb and in doing so, opened the throttle! The scooter mounted the pavement dragging me along running beside it. The scooter and I ended up in a heap. I was soooooo embarrassed :oops::lol:

When I was on my probation year in teaching, a boy fainted, hit his head against mine and gave us both concussion. We both skipped down the corridor (apparently)and I announced loudly in the staff room that I needed the accident book as there had been a little accident. When it became clear that I couldn't read the words in the accident book, we were both taken to hospital giggling. Neither of us could remember the day, our names or what had happened.

 

Several years later, the boy in question became my next door neighbour and his Mum took great delight in reminding me about the trip to the local hospital.

Bit of a medical theme going on here.......when I was a student nurse in Glasgow I was sent in to a cubicle on the surgical ward to take some stitches out. The young guy was a big rugby player type and had to have stitches removed from his.....ahem....nether regions, following a torsion.

He lay back with his arms folded behind his head, as I peered closely at his 'bits' - the surgeon had done a very neat job and put in the tiniest sutures that I could barely see.

Eventually, with my face about an inch from this guy's groin, I got the job done - not before he commented "the guys down the pub will never believe this!"

:oops:

This is spooky - I was just thinking today of starting a new thread on this very topic, honest! Although my embarrassing moment still makes me cringe 20 years later so I was still deciding whether to do it or not. Here goes ...

 

I was working in an office which was getting a lot of building work at the back. It was an old building where the front was at street level and the ground level at the back was 2 floors lower. On this day I used the loo on the street level floor (I had a bit of an upset tummy - I won't elaborate). Later that day, I heard that the builders had been telling everyone about some lunatic that had used the toilet and as the plumbing hadn't been connected ("Ooops, word censored!"ody had told me) the contents had ended up coming out of the unconnected waste pipe (2 floors up) all over the ground at the back of the building. Oh, how we all laughed whilst trying to work out who it could have been :oops::oops: . I still don't know if I scored a direct hit or not :vom: .

I had an embarrassing moment while staying abroad with some friends - we were going out that night and while waiting for them to get back from work, I'd had a shower and washed through some undies - I skipped (naked) through the living room to hang them in the untiltiy room, and on my way back, saw a stranger sitting in their living room - they were going to be late back and hadn't told me that they'd given him the key to let himself in :roll::oops: I honestly hadn't seen him on my first skip through the room!n I don't know who blushed the most.
