I was a freshman in high school and wearing a cute full skirt. I tumbled down the steps and landed almost bare bottom up with a group of senior boys at the bottom. Luckily this was before thongs came out.

I actually wasn't teased too much, and they all knew my name after that.

I was painting my kitchen nude with a plastic bag on my head and goggles. My back door was closed but not locked because I was expecting my husband to return from picking up our lunch. When I heard a knock "I said why are you knocking, just open the door and come on in." Of course, it was a delivery man! While I was attempting to jump down and put on my robe, I accidentally stepped on a stove burner which I didn't even remember being on (electric stove). I fell to the floor screaming in pain and embarrassment and the can of paint fell and splashed all over me. The delivery man turned and hightailed it out of there.

Once, years ago, I was going to Mass at a Catholic student center with friends. There had been a time change for the service but we didn't know it. The three of us walked in, and walked behind the altar to our seats as it was a very casual set up. Everyone was looking at us, but we didn't know why til the priest announced that Mass was over.

Another time I was on a first (and, as it turned out, last) date with a guy and fell flat on my face, for no real reason. There wasn't anything obvious to trip over, but I tripped anyway.

I've worn shoes that didn't match to work before.

I know I've embarrassed myself too many times to count but those are all I can recall at the moment.

Lol!

You reminded me of this time I was wearing a really cute sundress that buttoned all the way up the front. My SO and I had stopped in to a convenience store. The line went to the side, and this woman in line in front of us kind of turned and looked over at me and gave me kind of a sneery once-over. I was thinking, What's her problem? When we got into our car, I saw that my dress had unbuttoned in the front from my sternum down to my abdomen, several buttons' worth. I suppose it could have been worse. I just don't understand why the woman in line didn't tell me. Did she think it was a fashion look I was going for?

It would have been nice if he had stayed to make sure you were okay! lol

Oh man... my drunk stories are epic and mortifying. On par with "The Hangover" except I lacked the tiger in my hotel room. Tis why I don't drink anymore.

EDIT: Lol, how did I type "elevators"? Corrected to "escalators." (See? I was just clumsy and embarrassed myself right there. lol)

haha! similar experience, except with my boss, lol .

I wondered why he was answering me practically staring at the ceiling, thought "so weird...." kinda gazed down and turned about 10000 shades of red
I just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

OMG ... I forgot about the one and only time I wore that wrap-around skirt ... Was in line with a friend at Starbucks when a guy comes up to me and tells me quietly that my skirt is open

LOL! Just remembered a time when I was the admin assistant to a sales manager. He was telling me about the sales call he was heading out to when I noticed his fly was open. I told him "um Mark, your fly is open" ... He hurried and zipped it up thanking me then said "What are you looking at my underwear for?!" Then he picks up the phone and told our receptionist that I was looking at his underwear! LOL! That man was a nut! I still laugh about that incident!

And another one: In the 90's I used to do aerobics at a Y and the teachers were two men who were volunteers. They alternated days. One of the guys was awful. He could not keep time to the music, he couldn't think ahead about what he was going to do so we did the same thing over and over and he often had us do things that were dangerous.

One day I was complaining in the dressing room and ranting about "that little guy who can't keep time to the music." Can you guess who I was ranting to? Yes, his girlfriend. I didn't find that out they were a couple until weeks later. To her credit, she was very gracious and never said anything to me about it.

Yeah, but I'll bet that promotion came in handy...
