I’ve had my share. Moments in time that I would love to rewind and erase….
Tripping, face first (the only way isn’t it?) ripping my sweater, as I made my way into the subway car in NYC , doors closing, only to discover I was indeed on the wrong train, heading in the wrong direction.
I remember it as if it were yesterday. Peeing in my pants in art class when I was 6 and totally denying it “Must have been someone in the class before me” I said. No one bought it but no one seemed to care that I went the rest of the day with wet pee soaked pants. I was so uncomfortable and stinky.
Drinking a wee bit too much then getting introduced to my rock hero Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. I think I said something like “Hello, Blubbsssssss nnm innnog grrrr AHOOOOOO” He was gracious enough to humor me for 10 minutes or so.
Going grocery shopping and wondering why everyone was staring at my chest. Turns out my sweater had popped more than a few buttons and my purple bra was visible for everyone to see. Gather ’round folks! Purple bra, what was I thinking?
“Push! Push! Push!” Poop. Giving birth and pooping too. Everyone does it but it is still very embarrassing.
Simply saying hello to someone. Me “Hi, how are you?” Them “Fine thanks, how are you?” Me “Very well, how are you?” This could go on forever, I then get the silent awkward look and we part ways.
Attending a party and drinking red wine while wearing super cheap lipstick. I was having a great time and thought I looked totally hot. Had a look in the mirror 2 hours later. Big purple ring around my lips like I had just given a blow job to a huge grape penis. Lovely.
I have so many more but will spare you the gory details….

Yes, I think these all come into the category of very embarrassing indeed. I agree with you about the hello conversations. Mind you, it can be worse when you say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ and they say, ‘Actually, I’ve just been diagnosed with something really terrible.’ That’s a conversation finisher if ever I’ve heard one.
Oh gosh, that would be a terrible conversation Fran. Maybe the appropriate reply would be “Hey, me too!”
Hi A! HAPPY MOTHER”S DAY!
I know about embarrassing moments, I have a lot of them too. You’ll wish you’ll just disappear or hide in a corner. hehehe
Why thank you Shey! It’s been great so far. Kids and husband out of the house. YAY!!!
Wow, I don’t think I could come up with that many memories of embarrassing moments. I’ve repressed them much too deeply!
And now I’ve reached a point in my life in which I believe I am totally invisible. I wouldn’t even notice if anyone else noticed a breast hanging out of my shirt at the supermarket. I’m not sure what to do with this new super power.
That super power sounds absolutely fantastic C.J.!!
I think the only super power I have is acting geeky.
oh good lord you met johnny greenwood! ya serious?? Haha but yeah, reading your moments listing, seems like you live the rockstar life already, don’t you. Grin !
A Radiohead fan Rabbittrick? Yes, I’ve actually met the entire band a couple times, but for some reason acted particularly silly when introduced to Mr. Greenwood.
Ahhh, I wish I lived the rockstar life. A girl can dream…
hi. i hopped from shey. and i noticed your embarrassing moments. hehe. i also peed in my pants in class when i was like 4. haha. i denied it too and said it was spilled juice.
take care!
Thanks for stopping by Reena. You were 4, I was 6. I’d say I was the more pathetic one….
OMG! Hilarious! I have a similar peeing my pants story that you might enjoy: During recess in 1st grade I once begged and begged for the teacher to let me go inside to pee. Well, she must have thought I was didn’t have to go, so she didn’t let me. I peed my pants (wearing courderoy, no less), then pretended to ‘fall’ in the snow so that no one could tell my pants we wet in ‘that’ area. So, I had to go the whole day reeking of pee, in courderoy pants that were entirely soaked through. The most uncomfortbale day of my life.
Love your blog!
Falling in the snow? That was a smart move Katy. I guess I wasn’t as quick back then…
