Alright, lets get this board moving again. It's been nothing but crickets lately!
We've all had our fair share of embarrassing moments over the years, but there are always one or two moments that will forever stand out in your head. Confess your most cringe-worthy memories here!
My most embarrassing moment came at the height of my "omg I'm in college!" days. I'm from MA, went to college in FL, and fall break my freshman year I flew to NYC to visit my best friend at Fordham. I had never been to NYC without parents before, and we went absolutely nuts. My first order of business was to get a fake ID, and I used it to my full advantage. Bars and clubs all day erry day. It was so stupid.
My flight back to FL was at 6am on a Sunday, so we thought it would be a great idea to go out alllll night and just take a taxi straight from the bars to the airport the next morning. I was drunk as a skunk and wearing snake-skin pants (it was the early 2000's!) and a tank top. I threw up in a bathroom in the airport as soon as I got there, and somehow still made it on the plane. I passed out before takeoff, and woke up about an hour later PROJECTILE VOMITING EVERYWHERE. The guy next to me yelled, "I'm a nurse!" and helped me clean up. It was pre-9/11 so flights were regularly only half-full and I was able to switch to an empty row, thank god. The flight attendants all thought I had air-sickness and were super nice, but I was MORTIFIED.
A car service picked me up when I landed, and I had to get in the car in my stupid outfit, reeking of vomit and beer. I still die thinking about that. It's burned in my memory forever!
I went out on Cinco de Mayo with my friends about a decade ago. We were out at a bar and after a few drinks (but not enough drinks for the statement), I said in a very deep thought "How do you say cinco de Mayo in Spanish? In French it's le cinq Mai." In my minimal defense I never took Spanish, just French, but I mean so DUMB. My friends just looked at me in shock that their dear friend had such an amazing statement came out of my mouth. Many, many years later I still get about 10 texts from friends that bring up my brilliant moment. LOL.
When we were selling the house we owned before we had our first kid, neither of us were there for the home inspection - the realtor arranged for him to be there while we were both at work. Well, the guy opened my nightstand and stole my vibrator (which, incidentally, was not an exciting shape or anything like that. Just a basic vibrator). I don't know if he left in a hurry after that or what but he actually left my nightstand drawer open so it was super obvious when I got home. I felt we needed to tell the realtor what happened, and once we mentioned a theft she demanded to know what had been taken. Obviously it was not worth a lot of money, but the guy seriously could have been some sort of sexual deviant - I mean, talk about creepy. Anyway, telling her with a straight face that he stole my vibrator was definitely up there in terms of embarrassing experiences.
ETA: I felt we needed to tell the realtor because she was the one who recommended him/his company and I thought she should know who she was recommending.

@lindsye that is DISGUSTING. Did the realtor ever confront him? I'd be super mortified as well but would have done the same thing you did. He could be a guy that should NOT have access to anyone's home.
@kmalls I don't know what she did about it - we used a different realtor the next time so I haven't talked to her much since then. And after my uncomfortable conversation, I never mentioned the incident to her again. But I agree - the guy could seriously progress to something dangerous and I would not want him in people's houses!

definitely had a @kmalls experience of poorly timed and placed hangover throw ups.
I was out drinking I think junior year and college, nothing out of the ordinary. We pre-gamed and headed to the bar. While at the bar I could tell something wasn't quite right and asked someone to bring me home. The last thing I remember is walking into my dorm and then waking up at the hospital. Apparently I had locked myself in the bathroom to take a bath and wouldn't come out. (to this day I don't know if I was truly that drunk or if someone slipped me something at the bar). I told the nurses I had to pee to which they decided to attempt to catheter me, which of course was awful. I was conscious and aware of where I was. I let the male nurse know he was beauitful as I poorly attempted to write my signature and sign myself out and my drunk roommate called my parents in the middle of the night to let them know. (I grabbed the phone and talked to them myself, not sure why she felt she needed to call them at 3am when it wasn't an emergency) Needless to say I wasn't so proud of myself.
My freshman year of college I went crazy. In high school I was the one in my group of friends who refused to drink or be around any drugs. SO going to college I jumped in full force into the party scene. Me and my friends went to this house party. There was a lot of smoking (which I didn't care for because I can't stand smoking, of any kind cause I feel like I can't breath) Well I was SUPER drunk (still a light weight) and I was watching this guy roll a joint. I just kept staring at him doing it and then I said "That looks like stuff from a plant" He just looked at me like I was the dumbest person alive and said "Yeah cause it is a plant" then I say in most excited voice ever "WOW can you smoke any plant?" LOL got to love the effects of alcohol. To this day my friends always bring it up.
@lindsye how mortifying that he took your vibrator and also sooooooooo creepy. I would have done the same thing though. Who knows what else he has taken from houses.
Um well mine is my most embarrassing moment by association. It REALLY happened to DH.
A couple of years ago we had bought a new house and were moving. I have incredibly... "involved" (meddling?) in laws who know no boundaries. Anyhow- we had mainly cleared everything out of the house, but a random tall laundry basket where we placed most of our dry cleaning. I had forgotten that three weeks earlier when packing, I had put my vibrator in said laundry basket knowing that no one would be packing it.
Fast forward to an afternoon where I walked into our new home after work to find DH pale, sitting at the kitchen table. I asked him what was wrong. He said "Oh nothing, just had to go grab your vibrator from my mom." At first I thought he was kidding, but no. He definitely wasn't. While we were both at work she had helped herself into our home to see how much "progress" we had made in moving and found the laundry basket. She took it upon herself to take it back to her house, empty it and sort through it. She placed my vibrator in a plastic bag and asked DH to come pick it up.
I was embarrassed and angry and... it took me a good month to look her in the eye. We still aren't sure if she knew what it was. MY LIFE.
When I was in college, I was running late to meet my sister for lunch. I grabbed last night’s jeans and ran out the door.
Had a a nice lunch, and got back on the campus bus to go home. We get to my dorm, and a crowd is around the bus waiting to get on. So as I get off the bus, last night’s underwear comes tumbling out of my jeans.
A big big guy points to them and yells “WHOSE PANTIES ARE THOSE??” While everyone stared.
I shrugged and kept walking. I didn’t get them back. They were a good VS pair, too. Bummer...
