embarassing traveling moments

not exactly travelling, but when working on P&O cruise ships in the early nineties as a engineer officer, spent a pleasent afternoon downing cocktails and sunbathing with some of the dancer girls onboard, finally falling into a deep booze induced coma, dreaming of all the wrong things,.... Woke up an hour of so later with a impressive hard on (well for me anyway!) and yes, all the girls were still there making jokes about stiff drinks, camping trips etc!!

Aha, typical weekend sailor, falls asleep with the girlies

I locked myself out of a hostel room 3 nights running in Santa Monica. I had to go down to the front desk in just my pants - not a good look for me.

For anyone familiar with the area, it was after a few libations at the King's Head just around the corner (2nd and Wilshire if memory serves - possibly 2nd & SM).

Worse than that, though, was doing the same at a hostel in Auckland, NZ. I'd slept naked (wearing a kilt "naturally" tends to remove some inhibitions) and woke up needing a piss. It was 4 in the morning, so I just grabbed my fleece to hold in front of me while I walked the 10 yards to the loo down the corridor. Then realised I forgot my keycard.

So down to reception it was. bk naked apart from the fleece tied around my waist, covering my modesty. Of course, it was only as I was halfway up the stairs, I realised that turning around to leave had displayed my hairy buttocks to the poor bd running the night desk.

I was waiting for the train into Manchester, where I am its the last stop and the trains are every half hour so in rush hour they are hammered and everyone getting on at my stop has to cram on and stand where ever they can.

Whilst waiting for the train im stood feeling sorry for myself because im feeling really ill, im sweatiing, belly is rumbling and I just feel rotten. This tramp walks onto the platform and sees the sign above my head saying id love to chat to him. He comes over and tells me he's left poor and homeless because Richard Branson robbed him of his 50% share in Virgin, I just stood nodding in agreement and feeling sorry for myself. He then asked for spare change which I didnt have, he gave me some st for being cheap, I told him to bog off, dont remember my exact words but he certainly did.

Anyway the train finally comes and we all pile on it, its only two carrages long tramp gets on one and I another - A lucky escape. One guy who I dont know but saw on the train says to me, I glad he got you and not me, he looked right at me - cheers fella. My belly is rumbling and I cant hold on anymore, i push my way through the crowds and go to the toilet. It came out like a tap and went on for ever, i really had a bad belly and my crap was like evian. As i came out I could see the shock on peoples faces as they gagged for clean air, I was so embarassed and felt real bad for everyone and then from behind I heard the tramp say "And you had the cheek to call me smelly" Thats when I nearly died. Im normally a confident person and this sort of thing would never bother me but that was 8 years or so ago but ive not been on a train since, everytime I think about using one its all I can think about.

Many years ago it was a custom to go out drinking on Friday evenings after work. However the train journey home was complicated by the need to change trains at Oxted from the electric service serving East Grinstaed to the diesel service serving Uckfield. However after Oxted both trains stopped at Hurst Green, just a couple of minutes further down the line.

This particular Friday I may have had a drink or two and was on the last train, and I woke up just as the train started to pull out of Hurst Green. In my sleepy/drunked state I leapt up pulled the communicaton cord, and as the train slammed to halt opened the door and leapt off.

Only to wake/sober up and hear the reassurring thud thud thud of the diesel train. Indeed I had changed trains at Oxted as I was meant to, and was on the right train!

Was very embarrassing explaining that one to the guard! Surprisingly he allowed me back on the train and didn't fine me!

I cant think of any but my dad had a good one

He was staying in this cheap hotel in the 1960's and needed a pee in the night , due to the toilet being on the next floor he decided to pee in the bin that was in the room and empty it in the morning.

Come the morning he found the bin was screwed to the floor, so had to bail it out with a cup

On a different train back from Birmingham new street to ruabon, i despertely needed a crap. And having been living off mac and cheese, alcohol, chrisps and various other stuff, it had the consistency of a boulder. So you do the usual thing, wipe the seat before you sit down to get rid of the piss people have left on the seat, plonk yourself down and get ready to be ass raped from the inside out.

So, after finishing dropping the kids off at the pool, i get up, turn around, take a look (dunno why i did that) and then it dawned on me ... thats not guna flush.

press flush button, loud sucking noise from vacuum, does it move....... no!!

try again but no dice.

so i wash my hands drop the lid down, walk out to see someone waiting there. i rather rapidly scuttle off to my seat in a hope he's not in the same carriage as me..... he wasnt....phew.


Needed a piss about an hour later, forgot i had broken the toilet so off i go. lift the seat and there it is... the majestic turd castle with its very own piss moat!!

i was nearly sick
