So yesterday I was in a down spiral. But I had to go get my medicine. So I slapped on a pair of clean pj's, my snow boots, jacket and gloves. I went to the store. Of course my meds weren't ready (are they ever) so I decided to pick up a few items. As a wandered the store searching for a booty of junk food, a young woman came up to me and said " excuse me I hate to bring this up but if it was me I'd want someone to tell me" I looked at her like she was crazy. She then informed me that my pants were split. So instinctlvely I did a reach around and found a huge rip in my pj's. I was so embarrassed. But what could I do grab my butt and parade around the store? Leave and come back? I thought to hell with it I am already insane. I figured I had on clean undies so I continued my shopping, picked up my meds and went home. Damn they were my favorite pair too.
Anyone else got a too embarassing they must be true story?

Me and my boyfriend were in Red Lobster one time. I was so thirsty I downed about 3 teas before the food came. Then I felt myself about to throw up, as soon as I felt it out everything goes. Projectile vomit all over the plate. As I'm running to the bathroom puke is going everywhere, i puked on the bathroom door and all over the bathroom. There was basically a trail of puke. I kind of came out of the bathroom apologizing all over myself. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm pregnant and I ate the wrong thing, I'm so sorry!" (I wasn't pregnant! LOL)

I was having a pleasant moment talking to a kindly old woman, when she stopped and patted my belly. "And you're having a baby!" she exclaimed. "When are you due?"

"I'm not," I said.

That should be embarrassing for her, not for you. You don't just go up to someone and rub their belly wtf LOL

back when i had a job, fridays were blue jean days. one friday, i got all dressed up then realized it was friday, so i changed...grabbing a pair of jeans out of the laundry basket that i had only worn for 15-30 minutes. later, i'm at work and the guy in the next cubicle points out the panties peeking out from the leg of my jeans. color me red...

Chilvr, you stole my embarrassing story!!! I did that to!!! I was mortified!!!

bipolarkoala -- I'm guessing that you aren't a mother. When you're pregnant, it's amazing how many people feel free to put their hands on your belly without even asking you if it's okay to do so!!!!

When a freshman in HS, I grabbed my history book instead of math book, had to ask to get the right book, was granted permission among the snickers of classmates...I hurried to the door, it didn't open and I slammed right into it!

Hugs, yes. I wonder if at times I have hypraxia. I have had more stuff inside and out and this is almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am serious. So much stuff happens to me that nearly day before work, I open the office and head for the bathroom. I am so used to being clumsy that it is second nature.

One time, I had the split thing happen at work and I called a friend to come pick me up. We went to the Salvation Army in my wool coat and she bought some thin slacks. We went to the house because I had a cassarole dish to get my friend and we locked the house. The new pants ALSO split, so I had to change then and there.

I wish I had just one that stood out. I do this kind of goofy shit all the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm living one long episode of I Love Lucy.

The time my bp was raging and my gf left to stay at her mothers and I showed up and did a Marlon Brando yelling her name below her window. The cops showed up put me the car and thankfuly drove me home she did tell them I have bp. Now her family say Stela when they see me.

I went to the parents special weekend for my son who was playing in the WHL in Portland Oregon. It was very fancy and we were treated really well. Dinner at the executive rooms in the Rose Garden.

Something didn't agree with me, and I got a migraine. I had projectile vomiting. I threw up all over the table and repeatedly on the way to washroom. It was a trail of green vomit. I was utterly embarrassed, but my son just hugged me and told me he loved me.

I'm glad I'm over the severe migraine stage of my life, and that I have such a wonderful son.
