The most embarrasing moment of my life.......

Oh Marmight.....what a wonderful description! I'm crying with laughter-it's like something out of a comedy movie.

Silly-try not to worry, most people probably won't even have noticed. Was the dance floor crowded? If so, your mishap was even less likely to be spotted. I sympathise with how you're feeling though-I once tripped over the strap of my handbag getting out of the car and landed on my hands and knees in the road directly opposite a crowded bus shelter. I sprung (v loose terminology there) to my feet as rapidly as possible and tried to pretend I was fine and didn't have bits of road surface embedded in my knees and palms!

So here goes. A few months ago I was flat on my back having an internal examination by a consultant gynaecologist. He told me to cough and at the same time pressed down hard on m pelvis. A stream of pee shot out over the couch. Fortunately it did not reach him but I have another appointment later this month and wonder if it is recorded on my notes .

I have just created another embarrassing moment. I posted this on the wrong thread. How did I do that? Should I be put down?

It's the vet for you, Daffydil!!

Katek I think you are right. It would be a kindness.

Honestly, Sillyoldbird, that is so not worth worrying about....really not. Turn it into a funny story and dine out on it

I seriously doubt i) anyone noticed ii) anyone realised iii) anyone thought anything of it if they had realised/noticed and even if iii) happened, and they did notice, it doesn't matter.....what do you care what they think? You have not done anything wrong in any way.

They definitely won't have been emailing about it.

Even if (and I doubt this would happen) someone says to someone else 'did you see that woman's chicken fillets pop out of her dress on the dance floor?' and the other person says 'yes' and laughs a bit....what does it matter? It does not matter a jot. They would not be laughing at you, but the incident...and it doesn't matter!

It wouldn't bother me, even if they emailed a picture of it to everyone's Facebook....I do understand you are genuinely upset at the thought, but you will get over it

I`ve posted this before in the past on some other thread. A few years ago, we were in our touring caravan on a site in Cornwall. Now, hubby doesn`t wear underwear, never has, and one morning, he was standing in the open doorway of the caravan, immediately facing the next caravan, where the family, including children, were eating breakfast at the window. Suddenly, unexpectedly, his shorts fell to his ankles! For the next few days, until they left the site, I absolutely kept well away whenever they were around, even though it wasn`t me who`d been exposed, it was me who was the most embarrassed!

daffydil! That has got to be the worst!

You poor thing.

I think you should just come out with it,if anyone does joke about it. Something like, "yeah well, you don't know what goes on ladies' clothing these days". Which is probably true.

Should have said "under ladies' clothing"

sillyoldbird I know someone else that happened to, those things should come with a warning, and I bet any woman there would sympathise.

I had a bra malfunction at work once - I was new, and just bending over my new filing cabinets when my bra came undone. I rushed into the loos, hoicked my top over my head (or tried to) but the roll neck got stuck on my hair pins - I heard a loo flush and saw a pair of men's shoes appear under the hem of my jumper. I was on the wrong floor for the ladies...

Ten minutes later I was back in my office when my boss brought round the chairman to introduce me. I recognised the pinstriped trousers immediately. I don't think he told anyone, but it did play on my mind for quite some time!

Mishap you are spot-on about the Dolly Parton envy induced over-reaction.

Daffydil that is horrendous. You are very brave for going back! But you haven't posted on the wrong thread?

Jinglbellsfrocks I am thinking of a witty retort as we speak!

Have just remembered the story of a friend of mine who tied her long hair back in the shower with her (clean) pair of pants. One day she was in a rush and travelled to work on the tube and spent half the morning at work before she remembered that she still had her pants on her head....

A pair of my pants once found its way into my handbag. 30 years ago, but a friend was reminiscing the other day about "when you pulled those pants out of your bag". They weren't clean. And that was by no means my most embarrassing moment.

Ashtree I haven't heard the expression 'get off with' for many years. You've taken me back to my 16 year-old self

Marmight Your embarrassing moment was most definitely the Chairman's fault. He was clearly what in ballroom dancing circles is known as 'a showy dancer' and regarded with scorn.

Nanadenise your nan's story had me crying with laughter. I had to read it out to my DH - he used to be a milkman and has come home with some funny stories over the years, but I don't think any of them could beat this one, especially her quick smart repartee! Clever lady .
And daffydil - dare I say your story made me nearly wet myself? Sorry

I gave a presentation at a national conference totally unaware a wire from my under wired bra had worked its way out and was poking the front of my jumper out by about 4" under one boob.
A colleague in the audience was choking trying not to laugh as she said it looked like a finger that waggled as I moved.

Even worse it was on wide screen behind me.

Hey ho! B....r all I could have done about it!

Thanks Ash Tree.

What's wrong jing?

My embarrassing moment was my interview when first joining the Civil Service.

Had to travel to Southampton, and found I had put on weight when putting on chosen frock so decided to wear one of those all in ones to squeeze me in.

Train late in arriving so had to rush down to the Port to the interview. Puffed my way in and was told to dash up immediately. By this time all in one had slipped down and I looked as if I had 4 boobs. Interviewer was a rather dishy chap, but any hope I had of impressing him was totally scuppered by my extremely odd body shape.

I was at a concert of my favourite singer, who shall be nameless--for now. And at the end of the concert, as usual , other fans, my friends and I gathered in front of the stage, to give flowers etc, but we had to kneel on the floor, so we did not get in the way. He was half way through his last song--[when a child is born--do you know who it is yet] I suddenly got awful cramp--so bad, I just screamed out loud--causing him to stop, and look down to see what the problem was !!! there were so many of us there, I could not even move a muscle, let alone get up or anything, so I had to remain in agony for the rest of the song, In so much pain by then, I needed help to get up, as my leg kept giving way.Yes, it was quite a while ago, but I remember it vividly. At least we were in the dark, and he could not see my face-I hope !!

Daffydil,I was getting Gyn exam once and during the exam the doctor went to sit down on the stool at my feet and missed it!

What's up Jings?

jingl ?
I had a wardrobe malfunction in a Butlin's swimming pool. Swam the length of the pool and stood up, bikini top promptly turned inside out and left me topless. I saw my friend's look of shock, I was 17, might have been more worrying now

These stories are all absolutely brilliant. You don't know how much you've helped. Thanks so much all of you. I am feeling almost normal again
