Good for a laugh; embarrassing moments

Any good stories to share?
And then there were three...


Re: Good for a laugh; embarrassing moments

  • I can start.

    I was at my friends wedding and met a woman who is Canadian. Since everything I know about Canadians I learned from HIMYM, I inserted "don't turn off the lights" into the convo somehow. She looked at me strangely which made me realize that I know nothing of the Canadian culture. I laughed at myself so much inside for thinking that Canadians are afraid of the dark. Because dumb.
    And then there were three...

  • The other day I was running back and forth between my classroom and the nurses office cause I kept forgetting things to pump. I usually carry everything in the fairly discreet blk pump bag but I forgot my parts that were in a clear plastic bag in my other school bag. Since classes weren't changing yet I just grabbed the bag and went down the hall. If course my male principal was walking the other way. He points to the bag and was like, what's that. I just shook my head and said, "don't ask".

  • @MamaAllison‌ I'm sure that is all you need is to have your male principal envision what you would be doing with the pump. I would be embarrassed as well!

    @BlueDot818‌ I can't be sure but I think spitup, poo, and BM stains have come back in fashion. At least that is what I have been accessorizing with these days lol.

    Hopefully DH won't mind me sharing a story about him. The other day DH is getting LO undressed for a bath. He yells at me from the other room that the shirt is too small and won't fit over her head. I reminded him there were buttons in the back. I hear "oh. Never mind." Made me laugh.
  • @gigantan‌ luckily he is the most laid back guy ever, and his kids are in elementary school so that part isn't too far in his past...

  • My mum asked at dinner the other night if me and the other half had DTD post arrival if LO - I nearly chocked on my food and my other half went bright red. She then proceeded to state that men have needs and there was other stuff I could do.
    Think the rest if the restaurant was thoroughally enjoying the entertainment that night :(

    How mortifying! I think I turned bright red reading your post!

  • I was at a restaurant this week & had DD on my lap. It was a few minutes later that I realized she had a grip on my top and had pulled it down. I was facing a window.

    Don't think I beat @Dexter&11‌ though. I have family members that would do the same thing. I feel your pain.
  • My mum has no boundaries apparently - we took away the wine at that point lol
  • I was on a date with a guy, and we went bowling with a big group of his friends that I'd never met. I'd only been 5 pin bowling before, so I didn't realize how heavy the bigger balls (hee hee balls) would be. So when I brought my arm back, I accidentally let go, sending the ball flying behind me at high speed. Like something you'd see on a bad sitcom or cartoon for five year olds. Wanted to die! Way to make a great impression.

    Ok so I went to a baby show today, you know where they have tons of vendors telling you about their products. Anyways I walked over to a booth and saw this product.

    Baby Vac Nasal Aspirator 2012 Model by ARIANNA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JA1XB2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_BWbEtb0TCY35S

    I burst out laughing in front of the sales rep and everyone was watching me. I did not realize that I laughed out so loud that I attracted everyone around. As a mom, whoever came up with this product has never had a baby. I am sure it works but in no way I'm getting a vacuum together to suction my baby's nose. I sure as hell embarrassed the sales rep and myself.

    we were just at DH's parents house because his aunt and uncle are visiting and wanted to meet LO. all the adults grew up on farms and were talking about head cheese, which I had never heard of. I jokingly said, "I'd probably buy that accidentally thinking it was actual cheese bc DH loves cheese" to which DH replied, "well, I love head and I love cheese so you wouldn't be wrong!"

    :\"> 8-X

    Your DH is farm raised also? Did I know that? More similarities between our MILs. I don't know what head cheese is either. ...
    My DH grew up on a farm too and still works on it! My parents eat head cheese or what we call knip in NW IA. It smells okay when they cook it but I won't touch it!

    oops, sorry! I meant his aunt, uncle, and parents are farm raised. DH lived everywhere because his dad was in the military. head cheese is brains. @-)

  • @bribbon‌ it may be different for different cultures. all 4 of them said they know it as brain.
    @BlueDot818‌ exactly!!!!! I was like, "brains? as in Indiana Jones eating monkey brain??" I almost died.

  • I have another: my first day of my last job I wore a white wrap around shirt with a front fastening bra. I caught the tie up of my shirt on the door handle as I walked in, and tripped over my own feet. My shirt ripped open, the fastener on my bra popped and I flashed my boobs at all of my new colleagues!
    I was mortified, but you can't say I didn't make a first impression lol

    I grew up in Sheldon. I live in Vermillion now though after going to USD and meeting DH who was a local. Can't move a farm so I guess we get to stay here :). Were you the mom who posted on a vacation suggestion post about visiting your town of Okoboji? We go boating there all the time whenever the weather decides to finally be nice enough :)

    Oh, small world! SIL went to grad school in Vermillion, too. And yes, I'm in Okoboji :) Its starting to get fun again around here. Just a heads up, RAGBRAI will be going through Okoboji and is an overnight stop this year. So, I wouldn't come that weekend in July, you won't be able to get anywhere!
    Oh wow! The Lakes will be crazy then!! Kinda like Winter Games all over again!
  • I have another.. Early in my career as a clinician I was with a family and we were discussing the mom's upcoming surgery. Well, when discussing who will pay the bills when she is in the hospital she said that they all came right before she had to go in. I said, "oh, great! It's like good karma sutra!" I meant to end it with karma, but sutra popped out of my mouth. For the rest of the session I couldn't think streight because of this! I was so embarrassed.

  • @bribbon‌ nope; not even a little :\">
