Hey Pandas, What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing You Have Done? (Ended)

When I was 17 (1987), my show choir traveled from Indiana to DC to perform for the then Senator, Dan Quayle. I was one of three couples dancing up front.

We were doing a 50s show, so the couples up front were doing choreography that included a lot of lifts. One move (which you've all seen) had us facing each other, holding hands. The guy steps over both hands and WHOOSH! Pulls the girl through his legs. She pops up facing him. Only... My partner accidentally stepped on my skirt as he brought his foot over and...

WHOOSH! When I flew up, I did so without a skirt!!!

I was 17 years old and right in front of the Senator from my state. I was mortified and ran off stage. I spent the rest of the number with the moms back stage hastily pinning the skirt back on because I HAD A SOLO coming up!!! I don't know HOW I did this, but two songs later, I walked on stage and sang my solo. I never looked at Quayle. And I know for sure my face was puffy and red from sobbing back stage.

After the show Senator Quayle came back stage to shake hands with the kids. He specifically sought me out and his wife, Marilyn, gave me a huge, warm hug. I mumbled about being so embarrassed. And he was so kind. He told me that he did a whole lot of embarrassing things. But he thought I showed real grit coming back on stage and singing my solo. And he told me it was his favorite part of the show (I don’t know if that’s true, but it was really sweet of him). This is a man who, as the Vice President of the United States, spelled “P-O-T-A-T-O” wrong. So, yeah. He did a lot of embarrassing things.

His politics were not of my liking, but I’ll always be grateful for his kindness in coming to me, and assuring I felt like I had a reason to be proud of myself.

Definitely my most embarrassing moment. But a sweet one, too.

When I was 13 or 14 I had the biggest crush on my neighbor, who was 10 years older and had no idea. At some point I asked his sister to steal a photo of him and I kept it in a drawer in my room to gaze at longingly...
Once, my stereo broke and he kindly offered to try and fix it, so he came at my place and asked if I had the stereo's technical manual. I proudly opened a drawer to give him the manual and there, right on top, was a big photo of him...

I am so ashamed of this, I was ignorant and careless. One day (when i was a kid) I was at the shops with my mum, dad and 2 brothers. One of my brothers kept annoying me by doing things like stepping on the back of my shoe, bumping into me, pulling my hair etc. You know, the annoying things siblings do. Anyway I had a go at him and called him a R***rd. At that moment a woman and a young boy with down syndrome walked past. The woman gave me the most evil death stare. I was so embarrassed and ashamed at myself. I never use that word anymore and haven’t done in a long time because of it being so offensive.

Once when I went to the gym, I entered the ladies locker room and saw two boys standing there, changing clothes. They were both wearing short black hair and loose fit shirts and pants and they were both very fit and skinny.

I approached them and said "Excuse me,... but this is the ladies' locker room."
They looked at me quite surprised and answered in very high, female voices "Aren't we ladies?!"

They were women! I was so embarrased and apologized a hundred times while moving back behind a row of lockers. An hour of avoiding the two at the gym followed. They took it with humor though and just laughed it off.

One of our clients invited us over for lunch so that he can meet the team before working with us. He took us to a chinese restaurant, they gave us black (i guess ceramic) chopsticks for serving and white chopsticks for eating our food. The chopsticks were quite heavy and slippery and before that I had used only light wooden chopsticks but I thought I will be able to manage it. I picked my dumpling using the chopsticks, it slipped (obviously) but the worst part was it landed in my Client's (sitting next to me) plate, and that my friends is how I managed to embarrass myself on the very first day. The client was very nice, asked if I needed a fork and gave us the business also but now whenever we meet him, even for a coffee, he asks me jokingly if I need a fork.

That's a bit of a long story but I'll try to keep as brief as possible. When I was around 15 or 16, on holiday with my best friend at the beach, we've rented out a sort of pedalo (paddle boat) and met those two cute guys on another pedalo and started talking and flirting, and we started jumping from the boats into the sea and play around (innocently before you ask!). I noticed my friend a bit further away gesticulating and mouthing something at me, I thought she was being silly and teasing me so I ignored her! After a few minutes she swims closer and pulls me under the water and grabs my bikini top and put over my boob. Yes, I had one boob hanging out all the time while talking to the boy. I dragged her away, we climbed back on our pedalo and paddled it back to the beach in record time. Of course was just me paddling like a swan on speed as she couldn't breathe from laughing!

Everything in middle school

Newly single, I went to work at a children's hospital as a translator. All my mom's friends said I would meet a nice doctor and remarry. While I was walking to an assignment, I spotted a group of doctors talking to each other. I practiced my best model walk as I went by, not knowing the floor had been recently polished. Sure enough, just as I passed them, I slipped and grabbed on to one young doctor and pulled him down with me. Another doctor went to help us and I pulled him down as well. From then on, they made wide berths whenever they saw me approach. Sorry Mom and friends!

Went to a party with my boyfriend and a friend of his. The friend saw a girl, they exchanged a few words, and she walked on. I thought he was interested in her, and said he shouldn't, 'cause she's ugly. His sister folks... It was his sister... Let's just blame it on the alcohol please...

I was at a small bar back in the day with a lot of locals. Went to the bathroom. Came out and walked back across the room to where I was sitting. The chortling started. It got louder. People were making snorting noises? I finally turned around and noticed there was a long trail of toilet paper coming from the bathroom that went clear across the room. With growing dread, I followed its path... all the way to my backside where the other end had somehow got caught in my underwear and had become a tail. It was truly mortifying.

When I was younger I was at a playground with some friends. There was a super long slide that we went down. There was an old lady sitting at the bottom and we nearly knocked her over with the force of five kids going down a slide. Then she glared at us for the rest of the time we were there.

After struggling my entire life to lose weight, I had finally reached my goal.
To reward myself, I was going to buy my very first 2-piece swimsuit.
Shopping with 2 of my daughters, we searched for hours for *THE* suit.
In my excitement, I emerged from the fitting room in the suit top & my panties emblazoned with 'eye candy' in hot pink across the bum.
Nobody but my girls saw, but I'm pretty sure they both needed therapy after that! (& holy water for eye drops!)

I wore a t-shirt that said "Legit Daddy's Princess" in friggin MIDDLE SCHOOL!!

I farted the first time I went to my new massage therapist because I was so relaxed. She downplayed it and I keep going to her because I was so appreciative. Lol!!

Wearing sunglasses with one missing glass and not realizing it until walking several blocks. I would've believed it's possible but it wasn't detectable from the inside. Don't believe me? Try it!

In my first two years of high school I got bullied, like really bad. So one day.. I was so fed up and angry, I decided to take revenge. That week I ended up cutting a girls hair without her knowing it, drawing on ones pink coat with permanent marker and emptied a full pencil sharpener in some guys hair who was using way too much hair gel. Safe to say they stopped bullying me that year. Unfortunately I changed schools the year after and had to go through the whole process again.

I think we have all done this. But, once we borrowed a ball from our neighbours and about a week i texted them and they said that it was ok to bring it back to them because they would be home. I walked next door, it was night time, and went to put the ball on their door mat when i SLAMMED my forehead into the security screen. I thought they had their door open do I could put it on the mat.

i was running around the school with everyone else in my class for a red nose day thing and i was behind a massive group of people who wouldnt speed up so i tried to go faster and get ahead but i tripped over my own feet and broke half my front tooth off

Well, I once had a school dance, and I was wearing a super pretty dress and super pretty mascara and lipstick so I could get some boys and I tripped over someone’s foot that they had put out on purpose to trip me. I was a crying mess, and that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend.

The most embarrassing? Hmm... I was benched at my baseball game and the pitcher had just struck out for the third out and I misunderstood what my coaches meant when they said pick him up, so I started encouraging him and picking him up emotionally. For you non-baseball players, picking someone up means to just get them their gear. How embarrassed I was... I also farted next to my crush in sixth grade :D
