Your most embarrassing moments

[Goblin]

This talk of motor-homers brought back an embarrassing moment...We took our old caravan to Otamarakau beach & set up camp for 10 days or so. On arrival we passed 5 or so nice motor homes parked up, each with a middle aged couple. Gave them all a friendly wave & found our spot. Now my partner & I weren't the sort of people to just go up & introduce ourselves but my 5 year old son was. He was EVERYONE'S friend! By about the third day we had heard these people getting on the piss each evening, laughing & giggling like school kids. Now this place has no loos or showers so it was really roughing it and I needed a decent wash. There was a tap with fresh water tho. I had had enough of my boy asking to go meet the neighbours so told him to go & take his little brother with him. Excellent opportunity to have a bucket bath! So I run & fill the bucket, zip down the awning, strip naked & start soaping up. I'm almost done when I hear people coming down the track Matthew had gone straight to the neighbours & told them "Grab ya deck chairs folks...there's a PARTY at our place!!" So I'm scrambling around naked & soapy, looking for something to cover myself before these strangers arrive. Got my hand on a sarong & wrapped it around me as quick as I could. I could hear them introducing themselves to my partner, pulled myself together & went & met the neighbours! Murray & Coleen and Ron & Ngaire. On shaking Ron's hand he informed me "Oh we heard ALL about YOU! hahahaha!" They were already on the plonk & offered some of their home brewed brandy cleverly disguised as Cranberry juice. A few drinks later it ended up a harlairous evening. Those old motor homers really know how to have fun!

Thought I'd dig this old thread up....there's some good laughs in here!!

I had a real 'cracker' today...
After I went to the gym at lunchtime today I was getting changed and noticed I ripped my trou. Right down the bach and under to the ziiper at the front. "shit" I thought "I must have done that when I changed to workout" I thought. So I get c dressed and tie my jacket around my waist. Thankfully I work, literally, next door to the gym. So I go back to work and tell my boss I have to go to get some trou downtown. He says "I thought you would have gone earlier" WTF?? I'm confused, I think "fuck it" and go get pants. When I got back I told one of my workmates what happened and he said "Oh, I meant to tell you" So, here's me, since first thing in the morning walking around the office, no, make that entire building with my arse hanging out for all to see!! And I know people have seen and they said nothing!!

Just as well I have no shame otherwise I wouldn't have gone back....

They probably concluded that you were well aware, isn't it fashionable today to have holes in ya jeans/pants and have them hanging half way down ya backside anyway?

Reminds me of a moment years back when the Mrs and I went to the supermarket and after about 30mins shopping we loaded the car with the groceries and as I got in I realised that I had a bit of tissue on my face from a shaving cut, doh! Me: Why didn't you tell me honey?? Her: Umm didn't think to love.

There are some peeps out there who will tell you if you have a bit of food on your face whilst others will just stand there in silence and feel embarassed for you! I'm the kinda guy who tells.

Riding through the orchard full tat on the ol' TS......suddely i stopped moving, bike kept going.....had that moment of "Huh? ok whats the deal" Before being catapulted backwards through the kiwifruit as the bike did the same speed away from me. Failed to notice the new wire in the middle of the block at my shoulder height. My dad didnt however.......he could stop laughing at me.
Got him back though
Once while hunting rabbits, dad spotted a cat that he thought was a wild one that he had trouble gettting for weeks, shot it........only to have the new neighbours come a few days later asking if anyone had seen their black cat that wasnt wearing a collar.

The poor neighbours would have been horrified had they been greeted by the dead carcass of their precious kitty hanging up next to the wee rabbits!

I would've capitalized on that and told the boss I was stressing out because everyone let me make a fool of myself for the entire morning and needed time to come to terms with it and deal with it. Then gone riding for a couple of days.

What a great old thread.

I think one of the worst I've done was years ago I went to a Pantera concert in Wellington.. Had a feed of maccas then lined up to get into the venue, only to realise that they have security guards patting everyone down (and a growing pile of weapons, studded belts, and booze piling up next to them). I was in my teens and on a budget so I couldnt afford event center booze prices, and had a hip flask of bourbon on me, and the money to buy a few cokes. Figured I'd better drink this hipflask pronto before I reached the front of the line. Should also probably add that the weather was a fairly decently cold wet southerly. Skull back my bourbon in time, head into the concert, rocking away, brought a beer with my now spare coke money, moshing and having a blast. At some stage some random dude passed me a joint, puffed away and passed it on. Bourbon is kicking in quite well, plus beer + pot + hot sweaty mosh pit. Concert finished and I'm trollied but happy. Make my way from queens wharf down to the train station in freezing fucking weather, then onto a packed as train back out to the Hutt. Train starts moving and my stomach is starting to rebel. Cold to hot to cold to hot, plus booze + pot + jerky train movement was starting to do some damage and that maccas before the concert is starting to seem a bad idea. I'm sitting next to a chick I knew and semi fancied, and were jerking our way through the yards when I feel the mother of all pukes coming. Just managed to get my hands up over my mouth when I let fly. Huge powerchuck which rather that sprayed through and off my fingers much like a sprinker.. it went fucking EVERYWHERE, I swear I puked on about 10 people. Chick next to me is staring at me in horror, girls are screaming cos they have puke on em, and I'm puking for all I'm worth still. The guard wanders down to investigate the yells, looks at me (he knew me because I sued to commute alot) and pisses himself laughing. Luckily I was getting off at Ngauranga so it wasnt far to go, when I got up to get off the train people started applauding, and as I have no shame I took a bow to graciously accept the applause. Walked home, told my flatmate it was a fucking good concert then walked into the shower with all my clothes and my jacket on covered damnnear head to toe in puke. Had real trouble looking that girl in the eye when I ran into her again thou lol.

Only two things come to mind with me... firstly... our neighbors have a friend who is into bikes (he rides an old CBR250) and last year sometime on Saturday morning I was leaving home to go to work at about 11am and the neighbors and thier friend were standing outside talking, when I took the cover off the bike they all turned around to watch, started the bike up, warmed it up, put on gloves and helmet, caught a glimpse of them in my mirror still watching me, pop into first, release clutch, and bike moves forward about a meter, then lurches to a stop, caught off balance I nearly drop the bike thinking "what the hell", pop into neutral, hop off the bike and :slap: dumb ass me forgot to take my chain off...

Needless to say the neighbors and friend were laughing hard out at me while I took the chain off trying not to look at them and made a quick exit lol

Second thing, Sam and I were walking down Queen St holding hands (as usual) and I stopped to look at something in a shop window... let go of Sam's hand, had a look and turned around and grabbed her hand again and started walking off... well it wasn't her hand lol this random guy (fancy that) was like "um..." I nearly died while Sam stood by the kurb laughing at me...

yeah not the first time I've done that tho.... Went to an Air Show with my dad as a kid (maybe 7??) and let go of his hand to look at something, went to hold his hand and it wasn't him...

*has a history of doing stupid things*

Edit: Also fell asleep on the bus once... and fell out the seat into the isle... felt like a right dick

What's so funny about that?

[Motu]

Yeah,what's the big deal with that,everybody does it....don't they?

It's bad enough when it's a car the same as yours,but even worse when it's not remotely like what you drove up in,and it's like 100 metres down the road from your's.Us old hippies are allowed to blame it on ''flash backs''.

[Sketchy_Racer]

me and my mates were hooning around on our scooters. It was sunday night so we went to a local carpark to practise our stunts (wheelies and stuff)

I had done a disk brake conversion on my scooter so that i could do some stoppies etc.

anyway im at 50kph on the back wheel thinking im the man!!.
then i hit a bump and fall waaay past the balance point of the scooter. Slammed on the back brakes and slammed down the front... hmm my steering angle has bent... ahh we'll just bend it back.

back to the stunts. Now im showing off my stoppies. Started getting good at them too.

Mid way through a amazing stoppie the front wheel dash the whole front of the scooter dissapeers. Leaving me flying face first into the road. Bang. smashed my helmet up good and proper.
After all my mates stop laughing and i manage to over come the outrageous headache, I look back to see the front of my scooter about 20metres away from the back. the whole thing had sheered in half.

It was a bitch cause i couldnt ride it home after that.

good times.

Ps- we had attracted quite a crowd from our stunts... there was a few people laughing.
