Maybe this was posted if so delete.

But i had a good giggle!!:D

A radio station in Australia ran a phone-in competition to find the Most embarrassing moment in listener's lives. The final four were:

4th Place

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and started to run amuck. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she didn't start behaving herself, right now, she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma I saw you kissing Daddy's willie last night.' After this enlightening exchange, the silence was deafening. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank, with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard as the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.

3rd Place


It was the day before my 18th birthday. I was living at home, but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my girlfriend over for a romantic night alone. As we lay in bed after making love, we heard the telephone ringing downstairs. I suggested to my girlfriend that I give her a piggyback ride down to the phone. Since we didn't want to miss the call, we didn't have time to get dressed. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on as a whole crowd of people yelled 'SURPRISE'. My entire family parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, cousins as well as my friends, were standing there. My girlfriend and I were frozen on the spot in a state of shock and embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity. Since then, no one in my family has planned any surprise parties.

2nd Place


A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally Got up to the checkout, she learned that one of the items had no price tag.
The checkout girl got on the public address system, which boomed out across the store for everyone to hear, 'Price check for Tampax supersize.'
But it got worse. Someone at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood word 'Tampax' for 'Thumbtacks' , and replied in a business like tone, his
voice booming over the same public address system: 'Do you want the kind
you push in with your thumb or the kind one you belt in with a hammer.

1st Place.

And the winner is ...
This happened at a major Australian University, during a biology lecture. A professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen. A young woman raised her hand and asked, 'If I understand you correctly, you are saying there is as much glucose in male semen as in sugar?' The professor responded, yes, that's correct adding some statistical data. Raising her hand again, the girl asked, 'Then why doesn't it taste sweet?' After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing. The poor girl turned bright red, and as she realised exactly what she had inadvertently said, she picked up her books, and without another word, walked out of the class. However, as she was heading for the door, the professor's reply was a classic. Totally straight faced, he answered her question. 'It doesn't taste sweet because the taste-buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and not in the back of your throat'.
:D

It is always sex and body parts that causes the biggest embarrasment - look at all 4 stories.

It ought to be natural, but we keep being mortified by it :)

So let's share our own stories. One of my pearler's was this...

When I was in my early teens I was addicted to the arcade game 'Street Fighter 2'. There was a take away joint down the road and I used to ride my bicycle there every Saturday and spend my entire day there with a fistfull of 20c pieces to feed into my favourite game. Normally I would go with a couple of friends but for whatever reason, that day I was alone. My mountain bike at the time had a really innovative gel-filled seat but it had become worn and the gel pocket was falling out of its torn neoprene covering. I thought nothing of it and that morning I opted to remove the neoprene and gel pocket entirely, leaving a more or less conventional plastic saddle on which to place my derriere. I hopped on my bike and although it was notably less comfortable than it had been, it was not unlike any other bicycle saddle I had used at the time and so I set off on my way.

Being a family restaurant as well as a take-away, that day was no different to any other Saturday. People, families, came and left. Except there was one difference. I kept getting the uneasy feeling I was drawing attention to myself somehow. Out of the corner of my eye I could swear I was drawing the odd stare. This, accompanied by an unusually elevated level of background laughter, sent a faint sense of dread into the pit of my stomach. Shrugging it off, I played it down to the fact that they must've found it amusing at just how into this game I was.

Later on, after my final 20c piece had been devoured by the machine, I decided to call it a day. I went outside and began to unchain my bicycle when I got the shock of my life. A gentle breeze hit me from behind and I was greeted by sweaty palms and a flurry of flashbacks from earlier in the day. The seat of my pants was gone. Literally shredded away to nothing. The worst part is that my underpants were in the same boat. Nothing there. Where there was once material covering my posterior was no more. I had been standing there the whole day like it was nothing. The saddle on my bicycle had small plasitc studs designed to hold the gel pocket firmly in place and since that pocket was no longer there, they instead had a very effective shredding action on my shorts and undies due to cycling action. :eek: I had been poking my bare butt out into full public view the whole time. :D

Needless to say I decided to give Street Fighter 2 a break for quite a while. :D

Ouch. So nobody willing to join me in a face-flushing story then, huh? :(

Guess sticking out like a sore thumb is synonymous with 'embarassing moments' anyway. :D

Mila I have heard all those stories before, all in slightly different contexts, and no Australians involved. Urban legend evolved stories :)

When newly wed, the two of us went to buy some long playing records. After selecting four, we asked the female assistant hear some songs before deciding which records to buy. Me with earphones at full blast asked my wife to tell the cow behind the counter to change to the next record as the first one was up to s...t. As all the clients in the store turned around and faced me laughing , I realized that my intended whisper was actually a loud shout.
Red faced I asked the female assistant for forgiveness and she said it's quite ok because it happens daily.

My partner's nephew came to visit. He is about 7 years old. He was most interested in the World of Warcraft figurines, and a collector's edition mini toy truck. These are expensive items and to justify why we wouldn't let him fiddle with them for too long, we explained to him that these were not toys for children.

He promptly went home and told his father that at our house we had "adult toys" that he was allowed to play with.

:eek: :D

I can't believe you had the bare-faced cheek to tell that story!:p
