This video brought back memories of a fall in a packed high school gym during one of the breaks where I was performing with our cheerleading squad...
I think my friends laughed about as hard as these guys did (and as I did)!

So - has anyone had a more embarassing moment than this?

Oh, I kind of feel bad for her! Reminds me of that SATC episode!
I remember one summer day I was wearing one of those tie/wrap type skirts. All of the sudden it started to fall off! :eek: I yelled real loud, "Help!" and told my best friend who was with me to quick stand in front of me so I could re-tie the whole thing. We both laughed hysterically.
I also remember an even more embarssing moment from my honeymoon. I was so excited about my brand new bikini I had purchased at a Target store in Minnesota. We were on the beach somewhere along the Cape (in MA). I think my MN swimsuit was not designed to endure ocean waves. All of the sudden a big wave whooshed up and my swimsuit top started to come loose because the clasp broke from the strong wave! :eek: I remember screaming, which made it worse because anyone near me just stared. Thankfully I was able to grab the back to avoid flashing the whole world. H thankfully had a tee shirt for me to throw on so I could run back to the car where I thankfully had another swimsuit.

When I was in eighth grade, we had to do an oral presentation on "How to do something". Mine was ballet. In front of the class, I was demonstating some things, and my tutu fell off. I was so embarrassed. I crawled under the teachers desk, put it back on, and came out and finished my demonstrations.
Looking back at it now, it wasn't embarrassing, but at the time (I was 13), it was mortifying. I did get an A though!

I had a bikini episode as well. When we lived in the apartment, we had a pooll. I had this bathing suit that tied at the top. I took my water noodle, and jumped in the deep end of the pool, relaxing with my noodle. Suddenly, I felt the strap...looked down, and yup :(. I dove under the water, so I could pull the straps back, and a friend tied it...thank goodness it was adult swim :)

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I can't believe how bad those news anchors were laughing on air. They were making me laugh. Though it was pretty hilarious how her feet kinda "juggled" before she actually went down that 2nd time.

I had a bikini moment as well. I was relaxing in an inner tube on a lake at camp - I must have been 14, and I looked down, and, yup, my boob was out. I quickly stuck it back in and hope no one noticed. (And yes, the camp was co-ed.)
I have a tendency to faint and tend to do it public. I have fainted in front of many classes when I was a kid, and I fainted on one of the first dates with my husband! I don't faint that often (maybe once every other year or so) but when ever I do, it's always it a situation that makes it humiliating for me!

I was on the cheerleading squad in high school and during the warm up work out sit-ups, I let out a tremendous fart :o Needless to say, I was so relieved a few weeks later when another member peed her pants and my fart was forgotten :p

Oh, where to start ...
Just recently at work I was standing up near a coworkers computer screen as both the coworker and I were showing our boss something on screen.
I went to back up and move out of the way so my male boss could get a better look at the computer screen. As I was backing up I stumbled and I but my hand down to kind of catch myself ... pretty much in my bosses crotch! :eek: It happened SO fast but as soon as my hand "touched down" my boss grabbed it up and said "whoa!" I just wanted to die :o I think I mumbled I'm sorry and then kept moving to the other side of my coworker and kept talking about the project to make things seem "normal." Seriously, I felt ill for a week thinking of it. And even now I just shudder. UGH!
As far as that clip, I was more laughing because of the TV guys. That poor woman.

I, too, have had a bikini moment. I was swimming in Walden Pond (for any other New Englanders), and my right breast popped out. DH (then BF) saw it first -- that was the embarassing part, because instead of just whispering something to me so I could tuck it back in, he grabbed/covered it with his hand and started yelling about covering myself back up. I almost died. He thought it was hilarious. :rolleyes:

Wow! Has everyone had a bikini moment? I had one too - I was at Daytona Beach swimming in my new bandeau bikini and a wave came over and knocked me back - but it knocked another guy back too and as he came up sputtering, his hand came down and just pulled my top down.
He was so mortified - I think he was more embarassed than I was, lol.

I'm surprised more models don't topple over like that on the runway -- those shoes look horribly unsuitable for walking.

Uhhhh no. I've never worn one in my life. I probably haven't been able to wear a bikini since kindergarten. LOL! If I put one on, just wearing it would BE the embarassing moment.

Oops! I didn't see "bikini" moments just embarrassing moments :o That's what I get for not carefully reading :)

Nope - I thank my flat chest for not having to worry about that.
My most embarassing moment is what I like to refer to as the treadmill incident. We were in the weight room for 11th grade (co-ed) gym class. As part of the workout we had to run on the treadmill for 5 minutes. I was almost done and was slowing it down to get off and kicked myself in the ankle. I fell flat on my face and skidded off, only to get trapped between the treadmill and the wall of windows behind me. Unfortunately, it did not have a safety so it kept running and hitting me in the face. One of the guys in the class ran over and pulled the plug. I had cuts all over my body and two black eyes. People from HS still remember me as "that girl that fell off the treadmill". Even worse, when I went to work the next day, after all the guys stopped threatening to jump whoever beat me up, they told me I had to work in the back of the store because I wasn't fit for customers to see.

I sh*t myself in Kmart when I was 8 months pregnant. It was awful...just awful. I wasn't feeling well when I went in but I had to get batteries..and of course I decided against my better judgment to check out the baby department, then the home goods department, and then it hit me....so I started walking quickly to the restroom located on the other end of the store..midway through the trip, I had to abandon my cart as it was slowing me down..by now I was running. I bust into the restroom but I didn't make it - so I go into the stall (the bathroom was an open room with a stall that you could shut the door) and as soon as I lock the door, a woman comes in with her three children. I am still going (rather loudly....and the smell was awful) and then I have to take my pants off to remove my underwear, that are ruined at this point, and put my pants back on. I walk out and all parties are staring at me like they totally know what happened (I had to leave my underwear in the napkin/pad box).
This was very horrifying for me as usually, I won't go number 2 in public at all...in fact, if I am staying at a hotel or at someone's house, I've been known not to go for days because I just can't do it away from home. Pregnancy took this fear away apparently as for most of my nine months I had unexpected, random, horrible diarrhea.

cr8zyforaf, I can't imagine how awful you must have felt. But it sure does make for some story now.

Most embarrassing?
Thank would be when I pissed my pants...on a date...at a mini-golf place that happened to also be hosting a birthday party for a herd of children (probably 10 yrs. old-ish). We were standing on top of a fabricated "mountain" and my pee just went a'trickling down the "mountain," straight past the brithday party, so all the kids pointed and screamed "OH MY GOD SHE JUST PEED HER PANTS."
(Worse, it was the middle of the summer. I had broken my foot and had a cast put on a few days before. And, my mom had just gotten laid off, so our health insurance had lapsed we were paying for every out of pocket. Meaning, I basically peed in my cast. In the middle of summer. And we couldn't afford to get me a new one. So I stunk. For six weeks.)

LOL, I used to watch that news channel when I lived in Northern VA, so I remember those news anchors. Very funny clip!!
I'm trying to remember my most embarrassing moment...I remember on a 5th grade field trip to the Washington Zoo, a bird crapped on my head. It was bad, there was no denying it happened and I couldn't get it all out of my hair. I guess that isn't THAT embarrassing, but to a fairly shy 5th grader it was.
I was also pretty embarrassed when my DH's best friend came over to our house unannounced while I was getting ready to take a shower. I had forgotten something that I needed, and I ran out of the bathroom naked to get it...yep, DH's friend was right there in the family room. We were living in a one bedroom apartment at the time, and the bathroom was right off of the family room. I was mortified and ran right back into the bathroom, but I think he was even more embarrassed than I was, I'll never forget the look on his face...now we just laugh about it. And he always lets us know when he's coming over now, and tells me to make sure I have my clothes on. Very funny.

Not much embarrasses me but there have been a couple of mortifying moments.
The worst one though was when I was around 19. I came out of my bedroom looking for mom. She was standing at the top of the basement stairs talking to dad. So I just walked around her to get her attention. I glanced down and apparently my dad had come out of the basement shower without getting dressed because he was stark naked!!! He quickly covered himself but it was too late. The damage to my eyes was already done. :p Along the same lines, this past winter I walked down into my parents' basement looking for dad to tell him I was heading back home. I caught him on the floor, uh, "checking" himself for a possible hernia. I guess he had slipped and fell outside and thought he felt something so there he was on the floor-pants down and exploring. Ack!!! I begged him that the next time he felt the urge to do that to just go up to their bedroom and lock the door. *shudder* I'm guessing it was more embarrassing for dad than it was for me though. :o
