A few months ago my roommate walked into my room looking for help with her phone while I was watching this video: (It's nothing weird, I promise). Unfortunately, she walked in and I paused it at 52 seconds, on I told her it was basically a game show, and definitely not porn. She never believed me. On the plus side, she forgot she needed help with her phone as she awkwardly left the room, and I didn't have to help her. So overall not a bad day.
I was at home, recovering from surgery. So of course, pajama pants, all day, every day. At the time, DH worked close enough that he would come home for lunch, check on me, and then go back to work. Like the dutiful wife I am, I would walk him to the door and wave goodbye when he left. Well, during this, the Google Maps car drove through our subdivision. So, I have been immortalized on Google Street View for that address, looking like a lazy, pajamafied slob, standing in our doorway, saying goodbye to my husband.
@koalamoo Having my high school kid text me that his class saw me in a compromising position on Google maps with my husband was surely a high point for me. But, what else are you supposed to do when they drive past your house? Certainly not stop to think about whether the teacher would ever have them access it at school. Ok, maybe that's just me.
This idea that someone could be an adult and not ever have been caught doing anything even a little bit embarrassing is bizarre to me. Basically, the question is really "how terrible is your memory?" or "how much are you in denial?"
@dave Self-deprecation is the biggest component of my humor, so something that'd make another person hang their head in shame just makes me say "Yes, more source material!"
At 18-ish, my best friend and I believed ourselves incredibly clever and attempted robbing the mafia (we'll steal from the bad guys, fuck yeah!) in a foreign country and thought we had gotten away with it when about two blocks away, commenced jumping up and down and squealing/cackling in self-satisfied smugness, upon which men ran up and grabbed us and our bags and ripped all the cash out of our wallets and shoved us to the ground and left us sobbing and broke and embarrassed. The security guards of the building in front of which this happened just stood and watched and afterwards pithily commented on how lucky we were that nothing worse was done to us and that perhaps we should rethink our choices in life. We did.
Oh, I just remembered one when I was in elementary school or Jr. High. I was always riding my bicycle around on the streets (not a trick rider - only for pleasure or commuting) and I was near my home on this small neighborhood street when something happened and suddenly I found my back on the street and the bicycle in the air... a perfect reversal flip.
Must have slipped somehow but still don't know how it happened. I looked around and NO ONE SAW ME so it NEVER happened! Guess it doesn't count - never mind!
Yes. The most horrifying and embarrassing moment of my life was when I was 17 years old and my parents took us four kids on summer vacation. Had a great time. We went to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park and then into Calgary Canada. My Parents found a really kid friendly Hotel downtown. As soon as we arrived, we kids all had our swim trunks on before my parents unpacked the car and we all ran and jumped into the huge pool on roof, overlooking the city. I wasn't a good swimmer at all, so I held onto the edge as I moved around the pool. I was by the diving board holding onto the side of the pool trying to act real cool watching these older girls with big boobs bounce and dive into the water. At 17 years old just saying the word boob gave ya a boner. I was so excited, I reached into my swim trunks and pulled my dick out and rubbed one out under the water while watching them. I had just finished. My eyes closed just enjoying that glow of blissful release when this Man startled me by yelling. " Hey Kid! You! Yeah You...By the diving board ( I opened my eyes) "Everyone in the bar loved the show of you jacking off. Now put your my dick back into my shorts and get out of the fucking pool." I was horrified as everyone was glaring at me as I got out of the pool and ran back to our room.. Apparently, The Bar had a really huge glass window looking into the pool by the diving board. People could have drinks and watch everyone playing in the pool. I guess I gave everyone a good show!!! LOL
When I was about 14, I rode my bike to the liquor store and bought a lighter and began to ride home. I wanted to play with the lighter while I was riding, and ended up riding right into a parked car. I ended up hitting the hood, and landing in the street. I was so afraid the owner of the car would come out, I quickly got up and rode off.
Yes, and I have the hair on my palms to prove it.

At least it isn't on YouTube.
Everything i do is embarassing, so yes.
Yes, and I've blocked it from my memory. I know it happened, but I can't remember what it was.

@koalamoo
Nice to think that people can see that 1000 years in the future!
@f00l Yup, me and my blue plaid flannel pj pants. I suppose it could have been worse...

@dave
Uhhh, you're being a bit rational and reasonable there. Did you miss a turn somewhere? Sure you're in the right place?
@dave Sometimes, bad memory + denial = happiness.
@dave I have either repressed all of those memories, or they are in sealed court documents. Either way - not tell'in!
@mfladd But I'll be posting the pics you were foolish enough to share!

@jaremelz
Ooooh. Do share.
I'll buy you a cookie if you do ;)
(And half reluctantly- @mfladd)
@rockblossom
Would answering this online poll and commenting be considered embarrassing?....I may need to change my answer.
