Moments of Embarrassment
It happens to us from time to time. Being the butt of a lousy joke or rumor, having a paper with 'kick me' taped unknowingly to your back, or perhaps wetting your pants on stage during the school play. The embarrassment and shame is hard to live with, but the feeling eventually subsides and dies off. Looking back, we can bring out our lighter sides and just laugh the thoughts away or, upon recalling the more extreme instances, shudder and force an awkward smile.
---
Among many past situations I can remember, one particularly memorable one occurred late last May, at my high school graduation ceremony. At one point, my class was supposed to sing a song, and then sit down, and then I'd get up and perform a song solo few minutes after that. For our class song, I took my guitar and put the strap over my head (with my grad cap on). Afterwards, we sat down again and waited through another ten minutes of podium speech. At one point, a classmate sitting in the back of me leaned forward and told me that my tassel was missing! Sure enough, I felt around my cap and nothing was there. I was freaking out inside my head because I was sitting in the front row of a small class of 22, and I knew there were people in the audience with video cameras. (I'd find out later that my grandfather with poor hearing spoke out loud at that moment: "The boy doesn't have his tassel!") Then I figured out that my tassel came off when I slipped my guitar strap over my cap earlier during the ceremony. So when I got up to perform, I went past the mic to retrieve my tassel, put it back on my cap, and got up to play. I was very scared and embarrassed; I had to explain myself to the audience somehow. In front of the mic, I gave a short impromptu speech about how my silly tassel came off and made the whole auditorium laugh. I was trying to act all funny about it, thankfully, so my embarrassment was quickly forgotten.

So that was my embarrassing moment; what's yours?

not the biggest embarrasment but here it is, i was debating for the first time representing my school. i was 1st speaker. i got up and my cards were all out of place. i then had to look for the first cards while i was meant talking/debating. eventually i found my cards after about 15 seconds, mind u this felt like alot longer, and realised my cards were backwards so i had to continue taking the back card forward, reading it and continueing. i finished my speech and sat down.
this is my moment of embarrasment
extra details: the crowd was about 20 people, which included relatives and we won the debate

Sweet, but kinda sad
I stayed up all of last night trying to work on a troublesome English paper. So I worked very hard to finish it by sunrise and then I head off to the university. When I finally reached my English period, I open the door and the whole place was empty! Then I peered outside and saw the sign that my class was cancelled. Nobody in the hall probably cared to notice my surprise, but I did feel kinda stupid. And sleepy. So I caught the bus back home and slept until around dinnertime.
Not one of my worst moments, but unfortunate nonetheless.

The most embarassing moment of my whole life i think happened this week-end. I went into the city and had a few beers with some of my friends.Icidentally my Gf showed up at that pub and started getting all freaky with me not spending enough time&putting enough heart in our relationship and instead spend all my time with "these bums".And that was in front of my friends...
Like that wasn't enough, we went for a walk to try and cool things down and by the time i realised i was already late for the daily 10 pm gathering at the Academy when the National Flag is lowered.I already felt like **** cos there ware some prety hard words involved in the "reconciliation discussion" and when i realised i had just went AWOL it became even worse.They use to lock the gate after 10 pm so i had to jump a fence in order to get into the Academy. Obviously i got caught..My colleagues had lied the officer in charge, saying i'm at the barracks feeling ill.
Now i'm on the verge of facing The Honour Council in which i have been a member for the last 2 years.
PS: I know this is kinda personal and maybe i shouldn't write this down in here, but i just felt the need to get this of my chest.Not many people i can talk to theese days cos everybody is afraid to be seen in my company now

here's an embarrassing and very funny incident that happened a couple of years ago.
it was a hot May day and i was walking home from my university. there was an arabic restaurant on the way and as i was passing by, a guy with a hose who was watering the little rose garden in front of the restaurant. suddenly the hose went loose or something like that (i don't remember correctly) and it splashed me right in my crotch! i was wearing light blue jeans and it looked like i had peed in my pants!
the guy apologized hundred times and there were some girls passing by, they stared at my crotch and smiled mysteriously.
but i was neither mad nor embarrassed, it was just very funny! things like that don't happen every day you know.
well i stayed under the sun for 15 minutes and my pants dried up and i went home

let me guess... there was NO guy with a hose was there?
It's ok, you can admit it.
(you see the mind will create a false reality to protect you from the trauma you suffered... it's called a defense mecanism. It could have been worse, you could have ended up with split personalities!!)

Hardly anything can embarace me. I've even hosted some ceremony over at the fair with a girl. Now, she's always wacky, but that day she was especially "hit with a wet sock". I would've suspected she took smth (drugs, alcohol), but i know her she's always like that. She's a model, so thats way people see past her quirks and call her to host.
Now the trick was, we were doing a presentation, as a pair, and she gets on stage, and starts laughing like crazy. I'm standing there, waiting for her line to follow the script, people staring at us, but she still cant get a grip of herself. "snow the script!" I say to myself, and start adding comments to make the presentation more cheerful, as like it already isnt with her laughing her ass off on the stage. Eventually, we manage to finish it somehow, with me improvising, and i felt so relieved to get off the stage. It was fun, but i think i was gonna kill her those next moments.
Funny thing happened the other day. As I was getting off the bus, an old lady instead of holding for the holders next to the stairs, she grabbed my dick by mistake. Luckily I was wearing baggy pants, so she missed the vital spots. LMAO

Ladies and Gentlemen: ... My dad!!!
My mom told me this true story once:
This happened a long time ago. My mom and dad went out to dinner at a fancy restaurant and a waiter asked them what they'd like to order for dessert. Not certain about what they wanted, they asked for a full list of all the desserts available.
Waiter: "We have ice cream cake, cheesecake, custard pie, chocolate & vanilla ice cream, fruit cocktail, tiramisu, coconut tapioca, rainbow sherbet, and crepes. So what would you like?"
Unfortunately, before my mom could say anything...
Dad: "Uh, I'll have the jello!"
