I have had one of [b][i]those[/i][/b]days. Days when you just seem to embarrass yourself. My mother called today and asked me to meet her for lunch at her work. The day was nice...a little windy but warm so I decided to wear a skirt. I got into my car and noticed that I needed gas. So I went to the gas station and pumped some gas. I paid for the gas and as I walked out the door my skirt flew all the way up, and of course...to make matters worse I was wearing a thong. I pulled it down as fast as I could but everyone had seen and I had to walk to my car with a chorus of beeping horns, whistles, and comments. The day however did not end there. I got to my mother's work and got in the elevator. The only other person there was a man who gave me an acknowledging nod as I entered. As I stood there watching the numbers go up he suddenly said "So how are you?"
-"Fine" I responded. I thought it was odd he was speaking to me. After a couple of seconds he asked "So what have you been up to?"
-"Nothing" I said.
Then he tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Do you mind? I'm on the phone"
Turns out he wasn't talking to me at all, he was on the phone and I had not noticed because he was wearing a headset. Thankfully the doors opened and I could get out.
Embarrasing moments are the worse when they happen to you aren't they. At least this time it occurred around people I hopefully won't see again.

Ugh, that reminds me of the time I was showing my mom around school. A girl walked by us and said, "Hi." I didn't recognize her, so all I did was say "Hi" back. Mom, who was probably assuming she had found my secret girlfriend or something, whacked me on the arm and started asking questions about her. I said I didn't recognize her, so we turned around to get another look at her, and...it turned out she was talking on her cell phone, not to me. It took a long time to get Mom to stop laughing. -

i've had several of my own and i guess its normal to have them..reminds of me this cute guy i met at the bookshop. i didnt notice his headset and was really surprised he said "hey beautiful", you know how it is, he was cute and all so I said thanks, he answered me in the most arrogant voice I've ever heard, I'm not talking to you. I almost run out of the bookshop. -

I had my share of embarassing moments. My most recent one happened when I was leaving the supermarket. As I was walking out the market, a guy was talking about dinner with some friends. I did not know that he was talking to me. I responded in a polite manner that I was not interested. However, that was nothing compared to my most embarrassing moment. It happened when I was 14 years old. I just left a school performance that I was a part of. I was in a hurry to get home so I can can have a little time to take a nap before going to dance class that evening. I realized that I took the wrong bus back home and instead wasted time trying to get the right bus back home. When I got home, I was so sad and angry that I did not get to take a nap and was not only embarrassed, but angry and bitter as well because of my own mistake of not reading the signs properly. -

It's like when you're walking down the street and somebody is waving at you so you wave back...turns out it was for the person behind me. Same thing happend with my skirt last week the metre (subway) was pulling in and my skirt was up to my chin for a 30 seconds!!! -

Isn't it just weird how when stuff like this happens we want to crawl up and die inside, but in a year or two it's one of the best stories to tell? Unless someone brings it up unexpectedly in front of total strangers, then you wish THEY'D just crawl up and die :) -

Oh man, it's really bad when your own mother laughs at you. I hate it when that happens. I've never had an incident with my skirt flying up, thank God! I wonder how much time has to pass before your own story actually becomes funny to you...(lol). -

allaround you are really a funny person. This was just the light hearted moment I needed, after reading an hours worth of posts from Bible-Nazi's, Whiners and Pedophiles. LOL ROTF -

i remember when i was in the 7th grade and i wrote my best friend a letter expressing myself on how much i liked this boy and how cute he was. then the next day one of her friends got the letter out of her purse and read it in front of the entire lunch area and to make it worse the boy was there he looked at me and started laughing......a moment i'll never forget!!!
