View Full Version : I Can't Believe I Did That
Everyone has done something embarassing, or worked at a job that required you to do something rediculous. I want to hear some stories! Here's mine:
To pick up some extra cash in college I went to a place who was advertising for role playing. Sounded weird enough so I went. It turned out to be a 976 number. When I first went in there was a girl ahead of me. She went in and out of the room within minutes. I figured I'd see what it entailed. I had to read off a script, pretending to be a woman who was a choice for a dating service. It took 10 minutes and I got 25 bucks. They kept calling me back, and each time the script got a littler racier. The day they started talking about me hooking up a phone and talking live I figured it was time to seek a different means of play money. It's fun to say that I was a 976 operator, though. :cheesy:
Your turn!

I have always admired the waiters and waitresses of this world. This has to be one of the toughest jobs there is. Not for me.
I had a friend who operated a restaurant in Florida. One day he called in a panic, no-one would or could work that day. Would I??? No problem, first day. I had three customers. Next day, I had twenty, for lunch (that's all he needed me for) Near the end of this lunch, some guy yelled at me to bring ketchup, and fast. The way he screamed it, I was pissed. He got ketchup, lots of it. My friend never asked me to help again. Wonder why.
I never got a tip either. What a job.........
First time drunk..Playing a game of poker on a soccer camp..
Won alot, drank alot..Felt the urge to let it all out..
Ran to the closest window and did just that..
No sooner did i start when i heard ALOT of bad words..

Drunk, and being stupid stories.... was vacationing, got very drunk with some buddies. We eventually passed out. In the morning, I was still a little wasted, so I thought I would swim it off. Right outside of our cottage door was a very inviting pool. I pulled out a raft, and decided to 'float' away my hangover. I fell asleep. My buddies walked by, one by one, and figured to leave me be, on their way to breakfast. (this lasted a good 4 hours) as a bit of 'the hair of the dog' went on. I slept the entire time, and awoke to the worst case of sunstroke I've ever had or will have. I was lobster red.........(this was Palm Springs, very hot sun) I was sick for the entire week, and felt better just in time to drive home.
Actual pic, snapped as they walked by........ Friends
Oh..thats where your avatar is from huh..;)
I was walking in a local store with this chick who was my girlfriend at the time. Somehow we got separated and I went off and did my own thing while she did hers. I finished browsing the DVDs and went to look for her. I'm walking the aisles, and I see a girl walking away from me. The lighting wasn't that great, but I digress. I walked up behind what I thought was my girlfriend and pinched her on the ass. My "girlfriend" whirls around, and she just so conveniently happens to b the office aide from my third period Pre-Calculus class. I gasp, turn red and apologize while she stands there, obviously pissed off. I'm apologizing my ass off and blubbering, and she just starts cackling at me and saying how it was okay, a misunderstanding. Needless to say, I was totally embarrassed.

Well, first off, I dislocated my shoulder while playing badmitton in gymn class. (embarrassing enough, right?) Three months later, after I was finally able to deal with my arm having normal range of motion, I was running around with the speech and debate team looking for some place to eat. We ran towards Arby's, but realized at the last moment that it was full. So, my group turned tail and ran off towards McDonald's. I followed suit, but didn't quite make it. I turned around as I started to run ... and full force rammed into a handicapped parking sign with the injured shoulder. Popped it out of place again. Kinda a little um...yeah. I have plenty of klutz moments.

Yes, klutz. Which is why people don't often take me seriously. I mean...how can you not laugh while talking to someone you know dislocated their shoulder playing badmitton ;)
Hey Kitty, maybe you used the wrong type of racket ;)

Quiet you. It was a mean game and I was trying to prove myself. And when I'm trying to prove myself...well...I guess that's when I tend to fail. Ah well. Night night all. Again.

Honestly I don't think I can recall a moment that you people would think was too embarassing. Sure there are ones I can think of, like have a 30min converesation with someone knew from the past but couldn't remember their name...but nothing too embarassing really.

Kitty, maybe the minton was bad? Makes me fall too.
OK gents... is there such a thing as 'mean' badminton??? I can't imagine it.
Poor Kitty. Darlin, I'd feel more silly about walking into a handicapped sign then dislocating my shoulder.
Sunny, I can one up you on that. I chatted with a gal for 30 minutes before realizing it wasn't a gal I used to date. Luckily for me, she thought I was picking up on her. But I felt like quite a fool afterwards. At least I got a nice dinner out of it. :cheesy:

The one thing awful about this thread is it makes you think about and then relive the most embarrassing moments in your life! Here's one (of the many) of mine.......
Pregnant with my daughter, bowling. Foot stuck while making my approach and down I went. And I must say that a pregnant woman going face first down the alley is not a pretty sight. Luckily the only thing that was hurt was my ego. :rolleyes:

Christ, another f'n bowler. Are we missing something? Is this a secret society, taking drugs, drinking, bowling???
Maybe it's one of those 'death' cults. Death by Bowling Ball.
I'm worried LT. Did your folks have any kids that lived???
Damn...... bowling, badminton? what's next, curling???

Biff, you don't know what you're missing. I love bowling. Maybe it's not so much the bowling I love but the free daycare is pretty kick ass! Friday nights are date night for the hubby and I. We take the kids down to the bowling alley, put them in the FREE daycare and drink and bowl. It's the one time that he and I can spend time together doing the one thing we actually have in common. Try it sometime. You'll be hooked!
(Kitty - We'll get him to come to our side eventually. And then look out! ~insert wicked evil laugh here~ :) )

Okay....this is really really really bad, but I had no clue?? (ashamed) I kicked the buddha. Let me explain....I was seeing my boss while doing a banquet and the DJ kept giving me Tequila shots, so I was sitting in the little storage room and tossed a thing at it! They were pissed. I didn't get fired though, cause they drove me insane. And I had no clue what the hell it was about? I thought I was in some weird cult and was being fed drugs and god knows what? I was only 20! Lord.....what the hell did I know? Freaked me out all the chanting and ringing bells and a big duck for the buddha and a gigantic purple lotus and etc...I mean I don't jack about religion in my own family! So, that's my shameful story. How many hail mary's for that one?
You didn't understand. If you had no idea, then all you can do is learn from it. Now do you know it's significance to them?
