Confessions: Embarassing things you have done
When I was 17 I tried very hard to peek under a bagpiper's kilt. I was sittign on the ground and just kept leaning lower and lower. Poor man backed as far away as he could til he hit a wall.

Never did see anything. :blush:

1. LOL
when I was a young girl in England I remember during the England/Scotland matches kilts would be a common sight. My girlfriend and I were on a doubledecker and we tried to get a guy to show us what was under the kilt - he asked how old we were, we said 16 (we were really 13) and he said I DON'T THINK SO GIRLS in that Scottish brogue, LOL :D

2. A friend of mine was banned from a bar for a similar incident.
We were at a pub in Indianapolis that had an Irish band there, complete with bagpipes. After 6 or 7 car bombs http://www.idrink.com/v.html?id=5774 he decided to see if it was true.

He walked on stage and lifted the bagpiper's kilt.

Yes, the legend is true.

5. I love 'em.
Business trips to Indy were a hoot. We usually got asked to leave someplace at least once per trip. The friend who lifted the kilt is now my supervisor..

11. Our business trips were OK
until these two wenches tried to expense a $45 bottle of wine.

Heinous.

9. A few months ago,
I was tripping with a couple of people. I ran out of smokes so I rolled one, and got a tiny piece of tobacco on my uvula (sp?). Before I realized what happened, I had puked all over myself and the floor. Then came the peak.

That was more funny embarrassing, I cracked up but my face was bright red too, and my SO had to help me clean it because I was having a hard time. :)

10. Ran into my cousin
at a very big office xmas party. My husband approached us at the exact wrong time, and they looked at me for an introduction... he thought I forgot his name...and he was right (although I would NEVER admit it).. What's worse is I knew he knew me well, but I didn't even recognize him. Once he introduced himself to my husband, I almost died. I'll never forget him now, OMG.:wow:

14. Talking to the cutest guy in High school as we walked down the stairs.
Wearing a dress and heels and promptly fell ass over teakettle down the stairs. He got to the bottom where I was lying and just kept walking. I was humiliated and he was an a##hole

24. Feel free, and I learned that you can't judge a book by it's cover that
day. Plus, it is a pretty funny story.

16. Saw some ladies in grass skirts. Got my lawn mower.
Okay, I made that up, but I at least thought about it!

I guess it would be the first day of school in the fourth grade when I ran across the school lawn because I was new to the school and my mom didn't know which bus or when and school had already started...

I was introduced to the whole class. But I had stepped in some very smelly dog poop as I ran across the school grass and only noticed it when I looked down at my shoes.

Oh why can't we get a second chance to make a first impression?:cry:

20. I rolled over my bottom lip at a roller skating party
while I was trying to show off for a girl I liked. Roller skating was the only "sports" like activity I could still do after the "twins" started weighing my back down and made running awkward. I didn't grow mosquito bites like other girls. I grew monsters on my chest. So I was really happy to still be able to do something sports like. I was showing off at this party and I squatted down to make the turn and damn if I didn't go too low and roll over my bottom lip. Don't ask how. I don't even understand it myself, but somehow, I ran over my bottom lip with the skates. It swelled up for days. Eating was painful. I was so embarrassed. Little did I know it was just the first of my many unsuccessful attempts at making girls like me. I've done plenty of other embarrassing things since then, but have finally quit trying the showing off route with women. Now, I just tell women they are wonderful and expect nothing, which is what usually happens.

21. When I was about 9 or 10
I ummm..."tossed my cookies" in a restaurant. It was a really sudden thing and to this day I'm not sure how it happened. But every now and then I catch hell from my family about that, except they keep embellishing the story every time they tell it. I'm pretty sure I'll never hear the end of that incident

26. I drove across someone's back and front lawn in my van
I was about 22 years old and had just become a Teaching Assistant at the university. The Department held a party in the hills at a professor's house at night to which all the new T.A.s were invited. I was completely unfamiliar with the area where the party was held and it started raining very heavily. I found myself driving along a dirt road that suddenly ended. I could barely see in front of me and I kept on driving. After a few dozen feet, I found myself driving across the rear lawn of a big expensive house and I drove right by the kitchen window, along the side yard. I saw the lady of the house inside doing the dishes. I was afraid of getting stuck in the mud and I couldn't see to back up. So I just kept driving and wound up driving across their front lawn and off the curb, back onto a paved street. I guess no one was really around me for me to feel embarrassed. But I felt embarrassed for myself.

27. When I was a cheerleader in about 6th grade...
... during a basketball game, I had a box of Lemonheads in my sock.

During a slow point of the game, I pulled the box out of my sock and the whole box spilled onto the basketball court.

They had to stop the game to pick them up. :blush:

31. My friend ran into a party really quick to see this guy.
A group of us girls were waiting in the car. She was taking forever so I decided to go get her. Well, I tried really hard to open the door, but it wouldn't open. Finally it flung open. Unbeknownst to me, there were three immediate brick steps that followed. I did a front flip down the steps. Landed on my back facing the door and I didn't even spill my beer. The music stopped. Everyone there turned and looked at me. I hobbled out of the party with a huge knot on my shin and a sprained ankle. So embarrassing!!

32. Jr. Prom - OMG - you made me remember!
Went to another school's prom with my "boyfriend".

We sat at the front table right next to band. My dress was really beautiful, had chiffon overlay that did not go around the front of dress so when I walked it flowed behind me like a train.

When band began to play he wanted to dance. I was sitting and my high heels were on and poked thru the chiffon and when I tried to stand, I could hear the chiffon ripping so I wanted to sit down again to get my heels out of being stuck in chiffon, but of course, the guy had pulled my chair out for me and I sat on the floor with my feet/shoes stuck in my dress!

He must have been 3 shades of red and purple trying to help me up and all the kids who were coming up to dance floor saw me!
