Foo - Embarrassing moments

Comeon fess' up foo! :)

I'll start. Today I was walking out my door to go ride, and when I pulled the strap to tighten my shorts the button let go. :o I caught them just in time. :p

MY most embarrassing moment would have to be when I was in a ski show whenI was a teen up at Lake Wawasee......

I got up on the skis and realized my suit was around the ankles, in public! Of course, there were only a few hundred people watching........:eek:

I got some Italian dressing on my crotch area, at school last week. The oil would not dry and I had two labs to attend, and no way of going home to change.. So I dropped all my classess for the semester, (no just kidding). :D

When I was living in south Charlotte working for the PD at my apartment complex I was washing my car at the community wash area. Well, I was still in my Umbro short stage and had a pair on. You know Umbro's.........real lose fit. Yeah...........I was squatted down washing my wheels on my car and noticed the women would walk by and smile and grin. I thought to myself....."You handsome devil, the chicks dig you!" Well, they were grinning for a reason........my "Boy's" were hanging out from the shorts! :eek:

Now that's embarassing especially when you look these ladies in the eye again during a pool party!:D

I fell flat on my ass at the range. We had just shot up a toilet which exploded after my friend shot it 3 times with his AK. The seat on the other hand was still intact and very slick. It was snowing, and I made the mistake of stepping on it. Down I went. Luckily I didn't get cut on the shattered toilet bits since I had on a winter coat and leather gloves. At least 15 people saw it happen.

I went for my first long ride of the year Wednesday (low 70's), and I took a break at a small dirt parking lot right off the side of the road to adjust my seat and some other stuff.

Since the road was on a bit of a incline, I wanted to get a at least some momentum before I got on the road cause there isn't much of a shoulder and I'm on a fixed gear bike (no low gear), but there was a slight drop off from the road where I was so I rolled down the hill a bit, still in the parking lot, and found a spot where it was even and was going to make a quick u turn and carry my momentum up the hill.

But with my skinny road tires and loose dirt, my front wheel came out from under me and I fall flat on my face. And of course there were two, very good looking young ladies jogging, and now giggling, at me.

I got up as fast as I could and mashed my way up that hill faster than I could ever have imagined.

how drunk were you not to notice that?

Back when I was in high school, I went commando one day since i had no underwear that was clean....turns out I also forgot to close the barn door :(

I didn't hear the end fo that for some time.

My first race ever, I rode over to my then mentor's car to say hi. I stopped but didn't clip out in time, and fall over right at his feet. Everyone else that was getting ready for the race saw me fall.

I laying on my gf's bed while we watched TV, and I was bouncing one of those giant exercise balls off my stomach by tightening my abs. Well, one of the times I tightened em too much and farted :D

I went down to the last place I lived to visit a friend. As I was waiting for him to get home, I see someone walking down the street that looks like him from a distance. I start running towards him screaming his name, only when I got closer I realized it wasn't him, but was a woman :eek: I kept running and yelling his name until I ran around the corner. :roflmao:

This one was pretty embarrassing and i probably could have gotten punched in the face because of it.

I went to the pub one day with my friend for a couple of drinks, at the other end of the bar was this guy that looked the EXACT same as the goalie on my old soccer team, i waved to him, he waved back. I continued to drink a couple of beers and then my friend went to the bathroom, at this point i thought i should go say hi to Mike. Went up to him, put my arm around him and said "how's my favorite goalie today?!!!" We continued to chat for a few minutes, random things, i started to realize that this was not the goalie from my old soccer team, i was so %^*ing embarrassed and explained to him that he must be a long lost identical twin of this goalie. Luckilly for me, he kinda knew my friend, so that made things a lot less awkward. I apoligised and went on my way.


I told the story to the REAL goalie a few weeks later, and he hasnt stopped reminding me of it.

how drunk were you not to notice that?
Oh, I noticed it rather quickly, but couldn't do anything about it because I was already up. I dropped immediately though, but not soon enough!:eek:

Crashed hard Saturday and looked up to see the cycling club president rolling up in his RV from the other direction. By the smile on his face, I know this is gonna cost me next group ride.

I once cycled straight into the open door of an 18 wheeler, that was back in the days before clipless, bike carried on about 3 blocks before falling over, I was still seeing stars, and I never wore a helmet back in those days either.

My most recent embarrassing moment would be while I was at a red light and I fell right over trying to track stand. I turned bright red for two kids laughed at me and a car with a mother and a couple of kids were right next to me. I'm embarrassed just talking about it. good job. :o

I know, I still hear about it!! :lol:

My most recent moment. I took my wife into DC for an interview a couple of weeks ago, and after I dropped her off I headed for the the Lincoln Memorial to use the facilities. I knew I had a wait ahead of me and figured I'd hang around West Potomac Park, but first I had to get rid of some coffee. So I swing around the corning into the restroom to find it pretty much full of high school girls, and one adult chaperon.

I stuttered a bit, but it really wasn't my fault. It was in fact the men's room, they said that there was no light in the ladies room. But that initial moment, I was pretty much mortified. As soon as I figured it out, I figured it was their problem, not mine, and hit the urinal. I recover quickly, especially when I've had the better part of a pot of coffee in me.

I was too embarassed:D

20 pages? are you sure? :rolleyes:

I have more toolbars and have preferenced set to modify the display accirding to the remaining screen, hence more pages:D

I was at the start of a t-shirt ride a few years ago. I was running almost late so I jumped on the bike to ride to the sign-in table. Like most rides the shirt, flyers, cheap water bottle , etc. was in a plastic grocery bag. Right as I passed where everyone was congregating at the start line the bag got caught in the front spokes/fork/brakes. Endoed right there in front of everybody. Still have a scar on my shoulder to remind me of it. As if I want to remember.

Tried trackstanding for the first time at a stoplight(how hard can it be?) FAILED MISERABLY.. fell flat on my a$$, with all the cars looking at me while I was trying to unclip and gather up any peices of my broken ego I could find.

I was in high school. I needed some help on a math problem and asked this girl a few chairs ahead of me if she would show me how to do it. She says sure. I go to her desk, get on one knee next to her, and accidentally let one rip so loud the window blinds shut. All I heard was laughing. It was like one of those cartoon laughs where the school kid’s faces are circling over me laughing and carrying on. It was just horrible.

One very gross and very embarassing one.

I was quite the "pizza face" in middle school....well I had this giant honking white tipped red mountain of a zit on my nose. The kid in front of me kept talking smack about it.

...then it just blew up....literally....pus shot over and nailed him right in the face. Everyone was watching since they knew I was about ready to punch him out...but instead we had a pus missile fired.

SO here we are, half the class disgusted, half split between laughing at me or him, and the teacher laughing his ass off.

....and I had to deal with the kid that was infront of me now trying to kick my butt....embarassing as hell, but i can't help but laugh at it now.

Back when I was in high school, I went commando one day since i had no underwear that was clean....turns out I also forgot to close the barn door :(

I didn't hear the end fo that for some time.
Arrgh, did you come of age in th eighties?

High School, late 80s, tight jeans and commando were the rage. Didn't realize that squatting to pick up something was a bad idea. The sound of ripping as my jeans ripped from front to back let me know (and... I was going commando). Had to take the bus back home from downtown while desperately trying to cover up with my t shirt.... Not fun.

The upside is that anytime I want to make my wife laugh I tell her this story.

Second worst, in standard 1 (equivalent of 1st grade). We used to have a competition to find out who could change the fastest into their swimming trunk and jump into the pool.

The good news. I once won the competition
The bad news. I forgot one key step (putting on my swimming trunks)

In Atlanta at a party a coupe of years ago I met a woman who took one look at me and begun laughing. "You were that kid who ...." Yes, she was in my primary school.

Tried trackstanding for the first time at a stoplight(how hard can it be?) FAILED MISERABLY.. fell flat on my a$$, with all the cars looking at me while I was trying to unclip and gather up any peices of my broken ego I could find.

Same thing happened to me. I was so embarrassed. Since then, I've been kinda scared of track standing again because I wouldn't want to fall and get laughed at...again.

I decided while building up my GF's new bike to overhaul my CX bike too. Bought myself a nice new plastic tub and a fresh gallon of Castrol Super Clean. I threw in 5 rings and a cyclocross single-speed guard, poured in enough Super Clean to cover them and adjourned to the living room to watch the versus coverage of the Paris-Nice final stage. About half way through the Iditarod show (round-a-bout white mountain or thereabouts) I checked in on the chainrings and discovered a ominous layer of foam in the plastic tub. Hmmm. . . I got out a big screw driver and gave the contents a poke and they started fizzing like alka-seltzer. Hmmm. . . well what the hell, this stuff is designed for cleaning car wheels, can't hurt anything right? About 9 PM I decided I didn't like the looks of things and pulled out two of the rings, the black powder coat on them rubs off like soot and the one natural aluminum ring is now a nasty uneven shade of grey. I feverishly began scrubbing with a green pad and the black comes off in disgusting clumps on one ring but won't budge on the other, I race to the bathroom and begin filling the tub with cold water and hosing everything down with the shower nozzle but alas the damage is irreversible.

24 hours later I own a collection of 5 foul smelling chainrings that look as though they were fished out of the bottom of a smoldering barbeque or possibly a violent airplane crash. They have dried out a little and developed a fungal looking white oxidation around the raised surfaces. Castrol customer service has informed me today that Super Clean is DEATH to aluminum if left to soak for any time at all. I am filled with sorrow, humiliation and self loathing.:cry:

oh wow, you weren't kidding. now i feel your pain. :(

Well I have two similar girl related moments... I was really shy back in school. Both times I was waiting for the girl after finals. Both times I mustered up all this courage to ask the girl out finally on the last day of class.

The first one... I had given her a note and small teddy bear professing my love to her the week earlier on the last day of class before Finals. Finally saw her after finals and she akss me "You don't know?" Obviously I didn't... So I walked with her and she kept asking me the same question... turns out she was married. My sister later asked, "didn't you see the ring?" Doh! my bad!

The second one was right out of a movie... I again waited for this girl to ask her out after Finals...

I finished before she did and went in the hall to practice what I wanted to say. So I practice and practice concentrating on what I'm going to say... when all of a sudden she comes out into the hall right in front of me.

I mumble something like: "I, uh, Er, uh, duh, ummm.... F**K IT! Never mind!" She gave me this puzzled look like, huh, what did you just say? And I walked away in defeat and humiliation with a big "L" on my forehead for LOSER!! Sucked!

Luckily I suckered my wife into marrying me so I don't have to go through that crap anymore! hahaha!

Arrgh, did you come of age in th eighties?


Nah the 90s. I was just a chronic slacker, to the point that I usually only did laundry when I was down to my lat pair of boxers.

This day I forgot I was wearing my last pair.

St. Patty's Day '07, big snow/ ice storm here on Lung Island. I was delivering homemade soda bread and scones to a friend. I had my delivery in one hand, was shutting my car's door with the other and was saying hello to my friend's neighbor. Trying to close the door swept me off my feet, the package of soda bread and scones went flying while I broke the fall with the back of my head and slid partially under the car.

"No, I'm fine, really. I'm ok, really" I said over and over and over- when of course I really wasn't...
Also, of course the soda bread and scones looked like grated Parmesan :D .

After confronting them and creating quite a scene at a restaurant, I found out that it was not in fact my GF seeing another guy, but her twin sister and her husband. Oops...

Though I blame my GF for not telling me she had a twin. She never really told me anything, actually... kinda why I broke up with her later on. But damn if it wasn't humiliating at the time.

Edit: Holy crap, never thought about it before, but seeing it written down I just realized I totally had a sitcom moment. I've always wanted one of those. :eek:

I was just going to say that that sounds like a scene out of a bad movie^
