My most embarrassing moment: the day my dryer was first very hot, then smoking. A neighbor pointed out the smoke pouring from the dryer vent. I unplugged it and saw no flames. It was just hot. Then hotter. Finally I called the local fire chief, saying I didnโt want a fuss, could just he come check?
Within seconds I heard the sirens: 3 fire trucks, 3 fireman each, in all their gear. They troop through my house, and two of them wrest the dryer out onto the sidewalk. It was 10 degrees outside.
Soon as the dryer door was open, the smoldering clothes burst into flames. The firemen were yanking them out with long tongs, and spraying water, which froze them to the sidewalk.
It was a load of panties...burnt, and now frozen to the sidewalk.
The firemen left, leaving the dryer and the frozen panties on the sidewalk. (Which I had to scrape up).
The joke after that was: How many Boger City firemen does it take to put out the fire in Bethโs underwear?
Answer: ALL of them.
Thank you for the first belly laugh of the day!
Oh man! That had to have been embarrassing.
Good grief .... I am still smarting over things I did 20 years ago so my response would be YES. lol One of my afflictions is foot in mouth disease..............
Hmmm, let's see...oh yes, there was this morning when I opened the blinds in the Living Room so that I could enjoy the beautiful morning. Metal blinds and all went well until they folded up and were at the very top...then BAM the whole thing came down and bonked me on the head.
Of course, it can't be embarrassing if you are the only one present, right?
Of course you can. I embarrass myself to myself all the time.
I should of died a few times..
More than a few for me if a cat has the preverbal 9 lives I got that beat by a ton.
Yes. Hasn't everyone?
Yes, but I think some worse than the others lol.
Put it this way, very occasionally i look back at things I've done and I'm not embarrassed. .....
I used to. Now, I look back and love it all. Everything that I ever did, ever thought, and all that happened to me served to make me who I am right now, and I wouldn't change any of it.
Yes, many instances in many categories from mere embarrassment through deep shame and remorse to mirthful laughter. Being semi invalid at age 89 thereโs plenty of time for me to enjoy raking through the ashes of memory. Strangely itโs often more entertaining than small talk with my live friends and acquaintances.
Yes, all the time.
Getting so drunk that I apologized to inanimate objects that I bumped into.
Accidentally grabbing my manager's ass. I slipped on the floor and reached out and there she was.
Going outside in a thunderstorm to roll up my car window in the middle of the night. The next morning I realized the other three windows were still down.
The unexamined life is not worth living (Ancient Greek: แฝ ... แผฮฝฮตฮพฮญฯฮฑฯฯฮฟฯ ฮฒฮฏฮฟฯ ฮฟแฝ ฮฒฮนฯฯแฝธฯ แผฮฝฮธฯฯฯแฟณ) is a famous dictum apparently uttered by Socrates at his trial for impiety and corrupting youth, for which he was subsequently sentenced to death, as described in Plato's Apology (38a5-6).
