Hey Pandas, What Was Your Biggest "Oh Shoot!" Moment?

What was a moment you just wanted to sink into a hole and never come out? Was it something that happened to you or something that happened to a friend?

Not mine. My late father never lived this down. A few weeks after he was married to my mom, he spent a night drinking and playing cards with his buddies. Around three AM, one of his buddies said, "Hey, where's your wife?" and Dad remembered he was supposed to pick my mom up from her shift at 11 PM.
I can't match "Oops, forgot I'm married!"

Saying you too when they told me to enjoy my food, cliche I know but still embarrassing as f**k.

When I went out to see why my neighbour was on my back porch in the middle of the night, only to realise she had a hammer and was swinging it at my head. (Yes, she was psychotic at the time and believed I had killed all the birds in the world. She is no longer my neighbour.)

So once I came out to the people in my swim class as homosexual. We were like one big family and all that, so that was cool. Anyway, then people started saying stuff like “not cool, dude” and “no one asked for your opinion.” And I was super offended (rightly) and kinda shocked that they had acted that way.
Took me a few minutes to realize I hadn’t said homosexual. It accidentally came out as homophobic.

In second grade we changed our seating arrangement the day before our pizza party. I accidentally went back to my old seat and took a bite of another girl's pizza. She yelled, my teacher and fellow classmates laughed, and I cried. Just thinking about it now, 8 years later, makes me want to die.

Not me, but it's about my brother. He collects all things funeral related, including several hearses. When my grandma passed away, he used his hearse for the funeral. We were at the church before it was about to begin. Turned out he locked the keys in the car. Grandma was still inside. We had to wait for the tow truck to come to have the funeral. I know she would've laughed her a*s off, as that's the type of person she was. So, in a way we had one last laugh.

When my son was little, Mulan was all the rage. We had the good fortune of getting a red dragon for him. Of course he named it Mushu.
We went on a vacation and Mushu had to come with us since he'd grown to become my son's best buddy. We spent the night at a hotel and in the morning, headed 116 miles home by car.
As we got halfway home, my son asked "Where's Mushu?" That's when we realized that his dragon was probably left behind in the bed linens at the hotel. "Awe Shoot!"
Turned the car around and screamed back to the hotel. Our room had already been cleaned by then and the lady that serviced it had gone home for the night. The manager tried calling her to find out where Mushu was, but there was no answer.
He told us she would not have thrown it out and assured us that he would get a hold of her in the morning and track it down. All the way home my son was bawling "I'm sorry Mushu! I left you behind!" I mean, we're talking like a scene from a drama where the love of your life was killed as you were trying to escape the bad guys.
The next morning the manager called and said that the lady had found Mushu when she cleaned our room, but he was a tad bit dirty so she gave him a bath and had him drying in the laundry facilities.
We were not going to be able to drive back for a while, but my sister offered to deliver it to us as she was passing through our town on the way back to her house the following weekend.
Mushu was delivered home safe and sound. My son was giving him big bear hugs, apologizing up and down for leaving him and promising he'd never leave him again.
Future stays at hotels involve scouring the room for any hidden items before hitting the road.

Was on a night jump in Arizona. Main chute didn't deploy. Did a cut-a-way and deployed backup. Slammed face-first into a Saguaro cactus. Happens to be a federally-protected species (Native Plant Protection Act). Wasn't arrested. I guess yankin quills out of my fez was punishment enough....

I went to a party once, and we were all joking around. I thought, "Ooh, I have a really good joke, they're gonna think it's hilarious!" Mind you, this was at a friend's party, I didn't know half the people. Dumb me decided to share the joke.
Yeah.
Everyone kinda went silent and looked at me.
No one laughed.
One of those moments you just want the world to open up and swallow you whole...
I don't share jokes anymore.

I stepped on a sewing needle and it broke in half. My dad said it will come out like a splinter. I did not. 5 days later in the hospital having surgery to remove it.

In drama class I accidentally blurted out that I thought one of my fellow female classmates was pretty. My face was so red with embarrassment I just wish that didn’t happen. In that moment I realized that I wasn’t straight, when I see her in the hallway at school I just blush when she’s nearby, I think I love her!

That moment when you realize you dumped a lot of the wrong ingredient in the recipe. Like salt instead of sugar.
