Post your embarassing moments (thread stolen from CRN :D ). Here are mine:
I've embarassed myself more times that I'll ever remember, but here's a few off the top of my head... (I think I may also have a new one tomorrow, but we will see...)
A few years ago, somebody had just parked a Ferrari in my old apartment complex as I was leaving, so I was admiring it while driving. Well, I hopped one of my rear tires over a curb, and then I looked forward to see that I was driving my car down the sidewalk. Hehehe, maybe those insurance rates weren't really so unreasonable when I was younger, lol.
And a few years before that, I was speeding on my way to Wendy's for lunch. There was a cop on one of the streets, and I figured he heard me making all kinds of noise, so I was looking back to see if he was coming after me or not. I kept looking as I entered the drive-thru, and before I knew it, I found myself over the curb and driving on the grass.
I once walked into a tree at night and caught a branch in the eye. A girl later noticed the redness in that eye and asked what happened, so I had to explain what happened.
I pulled up to an outdoor party/bonfire in front of all of my friends, and wanted to show off my semi-new car to everyone (this was years ago, back when an Integra was still expensive and no kids had them). My enterance was going well until I slammed my thumb in my door, causing a deep cut which started gushing blood immediately. That had to be the single most painful injury I've ever had (worse than busting my elbow in two places). After I left the party, I ended up going to King Soopers at 2am with blood all over my white shirt, because I needed to by bandaids.
Just the other week, I was shopping at King Soopers late at night and I reached to grab some paper towels, but I caught my finger on a little metal price tag and ripped the knuckle open pretty bad. Within a few seconds it was gushing blood, so I was trying to wrap up my shopping while squeezing my finger and occasionally sucking the blood off. This was not going well at all, so I went to the restroom, mopped it up and kept some paper towel in my pocket, so I could just reach my hand in and keep things under control. I go to check out and the only thing open was U-Scan, so I was hastily scanning and bagging shit with one hand while my right hand is in my pocket. Before long, this became very frustrating, and the person working there was looking at me like I was trying to shoplift or something. So I pulled my hand out to use it, but it was pretty covered in blood, so I eventually finished up one-handed and got out of there, but I think my secret was out.
