I’m a big dork and I enjoy playing these GTKY games. Since we’re getting to the point where embarrassing things are already or going to start happening, share one of the most embarrassing things that has happened to you.
I’m not sure where to start considering I’ve embarrassed myself many, many times in my life.
Here’s a fun one. First menstrual period. Hit me in the middle of summer between 5th and 6th grade. Always has destroyed my digestion. The first few years of it was by far the worst. I was at my male neighbor’s house playing some obnoxious board game with another male neighbor, a friend or two of theirs and a couple other girls. I was kind of a tomboy so when my guts started churning I was okay with letting a little toot go. No. Nooooo. This was the worst fart in history. I’m sure everyone’s chair rattled. It took a few seconds before the laughter was haulted by the smell. I made 10-13 year old boys gag. I knew something was off so I excused myself to go home. I’m sure everyone still thinks I went home because I shit my pants.
This *should* have embarrassed me, but I have no dignity left.
My allergies have been awful (I live in KY, allergy capitol of the universe). Today while having my birthday dinner, I sneezed, farted, and snissed a bit in front of 10 people. Thankfully, I was prepared for the sniss. It is a near constant occurrence. Kegals don't work after the 4th vaginal birth.

My family went fishing in WI on vacation when I was like 10. I turned to say something to my sister and walked right off the end of the pier. Straight into Lake Michigan. All these people and boats came like flying over. I was fine and knew how to swim, but it was pretty ridiculous.

In middle school, that time in life when embarrassment is the worst, I was casually walking down the hall, chatting with my friend, and walked into a pillar with force. I was mortified.
My in-laws looove this story. Early on in my relationship with DH, when he still lived at home, MIL, FIL, grandMIL and a few others are skyping with some distant relatives I've never met. Apparently the conversation went like this: GMIL: Where's Rebecca, I want her to meet (person on Skype) MIL: She's in the shower GMIL: Where's (DH)? MIL: he's... In the shower . GMIL: Then get Rebecca! Cousin on Skype: she's in the shower [Nervous laughter] Oh.
They find this story hilarious and tell it routinely. Everytime I die a little.
When I was 10ish I was running down our street to a friends house, turned around to yell something at my mom, turned back around and went face first into a brick mailbox. Teeth didn’t fall out thank god but about 6 years of braces followed an emergency dentist visit.
DH and I are high school sweethearts. When we were seniors, we were starting to hook up on the couch in his basement. I had no shirt on and his older brother came down with his friend to talk to us. I just sat under the blanket topless for like 10 minutes waiting for him to leave. He for sure knew, and I avoided their house for like a month
Left my house to walk to a nearby restaurant. Walked halfway there, and a woman stopped her car and said "excuse me, ma'am? Your dress is tucked into your thong." I walked about 4 blocks with my fat ass hanging out. It was so hot and there was no wind, so I felt nothing.
So I was in a sorority in college and we had this full weekend recruitment training. Literally we were locked in a room together for HOURS all weekend long. Obviously I'd gone out the night before and for some ungodly reason had been drinking tequila all night. I don't do well with tequila. So there I was, in a room full of 100 other girls, feeling super pleased with myself for not puking the night before. I had a little gas, but like whatever, everybody farts. So I let out what I thought was a toot. It was not a toot. Next thing I know the girl behind me whispers in my ear "go to the bathroom now." I had literal shit running down my black leggings.
I have stress AND urge incontinence and let me tell you, it's good for embarrassing moments. It's getting bad again (was worst postpartum, I've managed it with kegals but only barely, before now anyway) as my uterus pushes more on my bladder. I pissed myself. At. Work. Spent the day trying so hard to hide it.
ETA: I passed gas in a nurse's face after giving birth. They just laughed about it and said the epidural can do that. lol
MIL walked in the first time H and I had sex. She only saw my feet, but got the full view of H’s ass n’ balls. I can still hear the “Ay! Mijo! Lock your door!”
In college I took a flight to England alone. At some point I lost the Cadbury chocolate British Airways gives away with dinner, I assumed my neighbor took it when I went to the bathroom. when it was time to de board the plane, I noticed a brown mess on my seat. Totally looked like I shat myself, but it was the stupid chocolate. I had it all over my ass too, and I was wearing khaki pants so it was super noticeable. Everyone was looking at me like I pooped myself. I ended up wrapping my white wool sweater around my waist because I could not get it out of my pants.
A year or so ago, I was on a work trip to another office of my organization, from my office in Chicago to a small office in a small midwestern city. After my official business was done, I asked the 60 + very stoic admin who was assigned to escort me if I could continue to use the conference room for some things I need to do. Well, the thing I needed to do was pump(!), and the door didn't have a lock, so I closed the door and pushed a chair up against the bottom of the knob. Of course, the woman comes back to check on me, is like WTF about the chair at the door, gets the door a little open while I am pumping, catches some glimpse, and leaves quickly in a fluster. When I am finished and come out, headed to the airport, I thank her and briefly explain I recently had a child who is still nursing, and so I was pumping. She seriously acted like I was a slutty stripper who had taken a dump in their conference room, and I was mortified. It was NOT COMFORTABLE!
@sjnsjnsjn where are you in Chicago? I work in the west loop.

In my new mom sleep deprived state I once answered the door for a package with my boob hanging out post nursing session. UPS man got an eyeful. Worst part is I so out of it I didn’t realize it was hanging out there until after I took the package and it hit my bare boob. I basically slammed the door in his face lol.

Lol, but I’m sure that happens to lots of people, right?
While in college I had to meet a few classmates to work on a project. I took my notebook out of my bag and flung a pad across the table by accident.
