Most embarassing moment
What's your most embarassing moment?
One that springs to mind for me was when a friend and his wife visited us and showed us photos of thier honeymoon. One of the photos showed a person
but was not very clear. Assuming it was my mate in the picture I said jokingly "Who is that ugly sod?"
Pointing to his wife he said "It's her."
We never saw them again after that!
"Everyone is entitled to an opinion however stupid!"

Once walked into the pub bog and slapped my mate on the back knocking him into the trough, well it looked like him from behind  . Also, not mine but
funny anyway, I was fork lift driving and had just loaded a lorry with ingots to go to the mill and this bloke Harold came to bring the notes out to
the driver. A rather large ugly woman came out of the office and walked past and the lorry driver said, "fancy waking up next to that every
morning" and Harold replied "Yes it's my wife". The driver couldn't get off site fast enough.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Years ago,having done a week in a new job I asked the supervisor who was that scruffy looking knobhead that was mincing across the factory
floor."Oh thats the managing director, I play golf with him" came the reply.Oops.

I've given up on counting / remembering embarassing moments. Nowadays I just work on the basis that my next c*ckup is just around the corner, no
point in getting worried about it.
I know - wrong answer, but that's my strategy

Mine would have to be when my (now) ex girlfriends parents caught us at it..... what made it even worse was the fact that she was handcuffed to their
kitchen table at the time.
Her old man was in the army...... 3 bleeping miles is a bloody long way to run while trying to pull up your jeans!
Who the f**K tightened this up!

I'm like zilspeed - I have an astonishing talent for saying the wrong thing at the most inappropriate time... now I don't worry about it
any more, and have learned to live with it!
(my friends know what I'm like...)

I have had a few, but one i would mention in public was like something out of a situation comedy.
Before I married my wife, and had'nt known her long, we planned a weeks camping in Cornwall.
I was 19 at the time, and she was 17, and there was no way her mum and dad would have agreed.
So, we told her parents that we were going with my mum and dad. Sorted. Told my mum and dad that Janet's parents were cool with it.
Fast forward to the morning we leave. There we are, at my parents house, almost ready to go, and her mum and dad pulled up outside.
I had about 30 seconds to fill my parents in with the situation and get them to go along with it.
My poor dad had to pretend he was just about to leave for his hols, and come up with a load of tosh to help me out.
we got away with it, but I still remember him saying never to ask him to do something like that again.........

No, they have never been told. Didnt seem to be the need.
We were talking 1978, my FIL died in 85, and it doesnt seem much of a point telling my 80 year old MIL after 27 years.
Anyway. I did the right thing and got married

As in "I did the right thing during the camping and so I had to get married because of it"??
Anyway, the story is real funny

a few little incidents for me, starting with the usual, slightly beery confident stroll into the womens toilet by accident, only made worse by holding
the door for a young lady leaving the toilet and still not realising, it was only the horrible realisation that a) there were no urinals and b) there
was a lot of laughter suddenly in the bar that made me realise...................had to do a little bow as I left the ladies toilet!
Another was leaning back on what I thought was my chair in a quiet village pub, only to find it was a stool and me ending up setting my hair on fire
as I fell into the open firegrate behind me!
I suppose the time I set somebody elses car on fire whilst welding a sill would rate highly in the "headless chicken simulation"
department, if not the embarrassment one!
