What Are Your Most Embarrassing Moments?
 

Tonight as I was driving home from the last night of my church's Music Conference my mind drifted back to my JCM days in the late 70's and 1980.

The National Music Ministry Conference was a huge social and ministry event for many folks. In particular if you were a student or faculty member at JCM.

We got the days of music conference off but of course worked as volunteers to pull this big National Conference off.

If memory serves me correct music conference was usually in February. I believe it was the National Music Mnistry Conference of February 1980 that I had a very embarrassing thing happen.

I had a nice almost new car and I had volunteered to pick up people from the airport that were registered for the conference or guests and flying in. Once they were in their hotels the College van would make rounds to pick them up for classes, services, etc.

On one airport trip I picked up two sweet older (in my young mind anyway - probably about my age now - 50ish) ladies. They were typical motherly UPC ladies with grey hair, etc.

After I had loaded the luggage in the trunk and we were on our way to the hotel one of the ladies (they were sitting in the back seat) reached down and suddenly held up something. She said "I found these on your flloor! Are they yours???".

I looked in the rearview mirror and was aghast to see that she was holding up a pair of ladies panties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My face must have turned two or three shades of red before settling on crimson. I was stuttering and stammering that I had no idea how they got there.

Then I rememberd that my car had been on several trips recently out of town with girls and guys traveling and that during one of those trips one of the girls pair of panties must have fallen out and under my seat. I started trying to explain that but it sounded really lame and these two ladies were laughing their heads off at my predicament.

I remember feeling so terrible thinking that those ladies must think I was a really wild guy.

I haven't thought about this before but just now typing this I have to wonder if one of my firends planted them there as a joke when they heard I was going to be shulttling people back and forth!

It still sounds lame!!!

LOL!!! Lame but true. I honestly had no idea how those panties got there!!!

(Mrs. CC1 and I were either engaged or about to be when this happened and I remember calling her immediately to ask her if she had any idea how those got there and could they be hers as we had recently gone on a trip in my car and she had an overnight bag or suitcase with her)

Oops, finally caught after all these years!!!:killinme

Where is the car?

Reading on WordShare tonight was interesting.

Another pastor was talking about TV and how bad it was and he meant to type tithes and typed tit*** (what makes women women).

He got blasted.

I would say that was pretty embarassing for him.

I'm sure you'd loaned your car to some girls that did laundry and it fell out of their basket - - man, you didn't think fast enough to get out of that one!

ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is priceless. Was it WholeHearted by chance?

Wow! That sounds way more plausible than what I thought of!!!!!!!!!!!!!:killinme

I wouldn't put it past you!!!!!!!!!

not sure if this is too much but, admins can delete it if necessary, i understand. please don't reprimand me... but in all innocence,,,,,
I had learned spanish in highschool in florida and I was able to speak it pretty well. I worked in the local supermarket and many times, the spanish people would come thru my line just so they could be understood...and i was able to practice my spanish....
okay, quick spanish lesson,

huevo is an egg
somehow, i don't know how ... but i asked if he wanted his eggs in a bag and he just busted out laughing... him and all of his friends...... come to find out, according to my cuban cousin, i had somehow turned the huevo meaning egg, into a slang term for a man's, *umm* , well, yep that... :blush :doh .....
anyway, i wasn't trying to be carnal here but it wasn't definately too funny!

I had never been so embarrassed in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oh brother, you just had to be there.

He better keep that blanket over the TV.
:slaphappy

My most embarrassing time was when I was Drum Major for our High School band. I had just gotten out of summer camp and we had our first parade before school started.

I had learned a new command to signal the band to start marching. I figured that whatever I did they would follow. Nobody moved and I marched about 5 yards without realizing they were not following me - with people lined up on both sides of the street!!!!

I had to turn around and get in position and give the old command. Boy, people are stupid. Just follow me. It can't be that hard!

Did your line get even more popular with the Spanish men after that? LOL!!

I can only imagine.

Your story reminded me of one more of my embarrassing moments and it also involved a marching band. However I was a mere child in the fourth or fifth grade. I played the trumpet in the marching band and we had traveled from Fairbanks, Alaska to North Pole, Alaska to play at a basketball game between our two schools.

My old girlfriend (a beautiful blonde named Linda Englabretson) had moved to North Pole and I had not seen her for a year or more. I knew she was in the crowd and sure enough as luck would have it during our marching routine one of the stops placed me at the end of a row and marching standing in place looking directly into her beautiful blue eyes in the stands.

Unfortunetely I got a little too mesmerized looking at her and continued to stand there marching in place long after the rest of the band had moved on!

...if you only knew how I felt... there were about 3 or 4 of them together...
I did have one man come find me because he needed a plunger and could not speak an ounce of english. Unfortunately, i never learned the spanish word for plunger and all he kept doing was saying "bano" and going thru the motions of plunging a toilet.....the hardest game of charades ever!

LOL! Which reminded me. We were marching in the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo parade. The DJ from KTSA came up to interview me. I had seen him getting some beer off a wagon up the street. LOL!

When he came up to me I told him I didn't believe who he was and I thought he was drunk. LOL! He had to pull out his ID. They aired the whole thing on the Radio - announcing my name and which school I represented! LOL!

...I loved my teenage years... I loved it totally! I remember going to bank during school lunch hour and I looked over and there were two killer looking men in the lane next to me.... I thought I would be really cool and I looked them over, put on my cool shades, took one more glance and slowly drove off, ....driving my car over the curb, front and back tire!!! oh yeah, i was something.... haha... I'm sure they thought, "what a dork" !!! lol

It was quite hilarious and I might add that it could not have happened to a better poster!:killinme

:shockamoo:shockamoo:shockamoo:shockamoo:muwahaha: muwahaha

Are you back on WordShare?

this did not happen to me, but to my best friend! my best friend had lost her husband and she was dating a man whose wife had just recently passed away. they are in their 50's. She is a very proper lady. I mean, you don't speak out of sorts, and no inuendos or anything like that in front of the opposite sex. she was over his house and they were talking when the phone rang. He got up to answer the phone and when he did, his suspenders popped off... while trying to talk to the other person on the phone, his pants dropped to the floor. instead of hanging up, he was trying to talk and pick up his pants at the same time and was having a hard time doing so... and about that time, his daughter walked in.......................... we laugh every time we think about it!

I am the kind of person, that once I become tickled over something, I can't stop laughing...especially when it's one of the those times you aren't supposed to laugh..... like when I was a kid at a funeral of someone I really didn't know... i was nervous and always laughed when I got nervous...

anyway, I had been dating my wonderful husband for a only a short time... He came into town and decided to drop by the grocery store where I was working. I was soo surprised to see him and I was soo nervous. I was only 18. He decided to by a candy bar and got in my line. There were 3 or 4 people in front of him and I started laughing because he winked at me.... I then became nervous because these other customers had no clue why I was laughing.... the more I laughed the more nervous I became and so on. I ended up not being able to tell these customers how much their order was and I couldn't even give them their change with out laughing.. I know they thought I was on something..... it's a wonder my wonderful husband ever saw me again after that....:roseglasses:winkgrin

I love it! Just when we think we are so cool, something happens to bring us down a notch or two (or three)! :cool:

:toofunny :toofunny :toofunny

tell me about it!!! it's a good thing I can laugh at myself. i got back to school and sent a note to my best friend during our economics class. she got a great kick out of it...

I'm sure he is completely innocent in the posting. :roseglasses

Freudian slip?

More likely.

Several years ago, my brother-in-law needed to change the oil in his car, but needed something to drain the oil into. He searched and finally found an empty plastic Clorox container. After draining the oil, he temporarily placed the container in the same room as the washing machine! :)

Soon afterwards, my sister put on a load of whites in the washing machine and put what she thought was clorox into the machine! :)

Not paying attention, she took the clothes out of the washing machine and threw them into the dryer. About an hour later, they need to run to the store for groceries, so my brother-in-law reached into the dryer and quickly put on a white shirt for the trip!

They were shopping and my sister noticed that folks were giving them strange looks! When my B-I-L walked a little ahead of her, she notice that the back of his white shirt had two huge yellow spots right under his armpits!!! :slaphappy :slaphappy

Not me (I aint posting those) but my sister.

1970's my brother's music group used to do a lot of touring. They based out of Greenville (Odem???) Miss.

They were called Sounds Of Praise...we called them Pounds Of Praise or Sounds Of Pounds because they were all, hmmmm...large! he he

My sis lost some weight and hadn't gotten around to buying new clothes and sizes...during a service, singing on a platform, her slip fell around her ankles.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She went to the store shortly afterwards, he heee!

It is amazing how many times this has happened to us women.... One lady in our church came in from the restroom with her skirt tucked into her pantyhose...she sat up in the very front.... too funny.....

Another time, while we were singing in our choir, our youth director looked down and realized that she had put on two different shoes... one white and one cream... even knowing this, she went running off the platform during one of those "blow out" services!

This was embarrassing for my best friend in high school... We were delivering messages to the different classes and she went into one class while I stayed outside. When she started to come out, I grabbed the door and would not let go.... She had the entire foreign language class' attention as she was jerking and yanking... Yes, I then let the door go.... and she fell backwards... it was great!

That happened to me after I had given birth to my son. I lost weight after the birth and was standing outside waving goodbye to some friends who had come for a visit.

The all were pointing and laughing and I looked down and my slip had fallen off! Just right there around my ankles as pretty as you please!

They still talk about it.

:killinme:killinme:killinme

Standing in line for lunch with my head turned talking to someone behind me and while talking reaching out and rubbing the back of the preacher standing in front of me who I thought was my husband. That's where he had been standing. Then realizing it wasn't TB -- he had moved!

Instead, it was one of our district presbyters getting a lovely back massage. :o LOL! He didn't seem to mind though. I apologized all over myself but he just laughed and said that he was rather enjoying it.

This man has proven to be a real friend, and we had lunch with he and his wife when we were home a few weeks ago.

In 8th grade the big fashion was the very wide legged pants. They almost looked like a skirt. Of course, I had to own a pair. White to boot!

Wellll, the 7th and 8th grade wings were situated where the front part of each side faced the street. The 7th grade wing on the left and the 8th grade wing on the right- and two very loooong sidewalks leading up to them.

We were coming back from the band hall and I tripped over these huge pants and fell flat on my face in front of God and all the angels. I felt like Lucille Ball.

:killinme

During a church service and singing in the choir, we had these long mics hanging from the very tall ceiling. I lifted my hand to worship and hit one of the mics and it began swinging back and forth like a pendulum. I calmly caught it and kept singing.
