What's the most embarrassing thing you've done?
Discussion
My Brother and I decided to take a trip to the US and embark on a Contiki tour in California. I had just finished my A-Levels and my Brother had just graduated from Uni. All was going well and we were having a great trip. Only issue was that I was just 18 and the bars would ID anyone with a foriegn accent so Drinking and getting into Clubs was out of the question.
Whilst on this tour, we stopped off in Las Vegas for a night and all went out as a group of about 35 people. We had a great night in the casino and took in a show (Splash II - if I recall. First and only time I have seen someone juggle three parrots!). After this the majority of the group decide to go to a night club, leaving me and two 18 year old Blonde Danish girls to make our way back to the Motel. Now, we didnt have a clue where this was and decided that we would just walk in the rough direction and see how we got on - at about 1 in the morning! After about an hour of walking a massive Black SUV with tinted windows pulls up along side us and the windows wind down. The passengers then started to try to chat up the girls in a less than polite and very intimidating way, so I stepped forward and mustered all my courage to say "erm.... its ok, there with me. We're going now."
Another hour goes past and we finally get back to our Motel. At this point I am knackered and still a little shaken about our encounter with the boys from Inglewood on tour! So I make my way to the lifts. The Girls I had walked back turn to me at now 2am and say, "thanks for walking us back Rich and helping out with those people, we're going to go for a late night swim now - do you want to join us?"
I replied "It's all right, I'm gonna go to bed and watch Star Trek - Night"....
To this day I still kick myself and cant believe the opportunity that i passed up - I dont even like Star Trek FFS

oh dear...
Re: my westfield idiocy - forgot to add that I also blew up the radiator with this foolishness and burnt through one of OUR tents by brushing the side exhaust against it when I humbly drove the car back to our patch.
Strangley enough I shall not be handling any car keys at this years event...

You stay there - I almost feel safe being 200 miles away.
I was at a party with some mates, for one of their birthdays- and involved a lot of drinking. I won every single 'winner stays on' shot downing competion etc etc.
A bit later on (2am ish) people started to fall asleep on the sofas - but me and the birthday boy weren't tired (and were plastered) so we went for a walk. He lives near my old primary school, so we went there for a laugh.
My mate said he was cold - so I proceeded to give him all my clothes, and took my underwear off and put it on my head.
Imagine the scene - 2am - 2 guys walking down the road - one naked with his underwear on his head and trainers on - and the other looking like the michelin man in 2 sets of clothes.
We played around on the play equipment for a bit, then left the school and were going to go back to his house - and suddenly we heard a car - I panicked - and hid behind a lampost. They obviously saw me, and slowed down.
I remembered there was a ditch across the road - so ran and jumped in - unfortunately this ditch was full of stinging nettles. Needlessly to say - I got a little bit stung!!!
In fact I could not sit down comfortably for the next 24 hours!!!

At Sebring last weekend, for the ALMS, A Marhals dropped something into the tyre wall (You can already see whats coming!) well, in his attempt to retrive it he slipped and ended up head first inside a stack of tyres!!!!
It brought out the longest safety car period of the race!!
And still pictures seem illusive!!

This NYE was pretty embarrassing, All day drinking culminating in opening my mates bottle of absinthe, made streaking at midnight seem a good idea!
About 8 of us hit the street naked, Generally acting about. someone spots taxi driver approaching in the distance, we all start waving shouting happy new etc....
As he get closer become apparant its actually a police car. cue naked ppl jumping over fences to get back inside, i fell grazed my arse
One of my mates Stayed and wished the police man happy new year (he was the most sensible as he was wearing gloves) there are pics floating around somewhere

Many years ago, me at an inter-school swimming contest, sitting there in my speedos waiting for my race. Looked up to discover that the viewers' balcony above me was floored in grating, and that I was sitting right underneath a couple of beskirted girl spectators. Obviously, good single-sex public school boy that I was, this flash of school girl's knickers led to severe wood, and I'm talking oak.
"Phweeeet, senior breaststroke competitors to your blocks!". I had to stand up and hobble to the diving blocks trying to disguise my boner barely contained in my tented Speedos. Wasn't savvy enough back then to do a false start and hit the cold water, so had to stand there on the block looking at my new rudder waiting for the whistle, blushing with my entire body...
PMSL.....I have tears, the terminology "OAK" "RUDDER".....Genius!!!
When I was staying back at my parents' recently my old Dad came to me with a DVD of a birdwatching trip he'd just been on and said "Have you something I can watch this on?".
I took him up to my room and pointed to my PS2 and told him it was also a DVD player.
I pressed the "eject" button and out popped "Big Boobed Lovers"

On holiday in St Lucia when I was about 14. I was there with the folks for three weeks so I was very pleased to meet up and start hanging out with a group of teenagers from the US. A couple of the girls in the group were stunning. Six foot tall, pretty blondes with model looks and perfect bodies, you know the type. I just had to have one of them.
After the first two weeks of getting plastered on the all inclusive booze each night and trying to impress them with my ridiculous behaviour I realised I was getting nowhere near their knickers so decided to change tactics. I had read in the FHM I took with me that women love a dare devil so challenged the guys in the group to a Jet-ski race.
We're all racing round on these little jet-skis and I was doing pretty crappily. Couldn't keep up around the bay until all of a sudden I'm in the lead and the gap between me and the others is increasing. I kept staring backwards at them in amazement. In my horny teenage adrenaline fuelled head I hadn't noticed that we'd entered the shallow water and where they'd had the sense to stop I kept going full pelt. I tried to stop but these things don't exactly come with Brembo's and before you know it I'm sat on a Jet-ski driving up the beach.
Cue the watersport business owner screaming at me asking why I'd decided to rip the bottom off his jet-ski. My old man running over to tell me I'm an idiot. A beach full of people pointing and staring in amazement and the girls I was trying to impress lauging their asses off. Still gives me nightmares now.

This wasn't possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever done, but it could have been quite an embarrassment if i'd been awake/sober/cared.
I was on a booze cruise with a load of my mates. So we do the usual thing, drink, dance, have a good laugh. Now I was sharing a room with three of my mates and we turned in about 4.30 rather worse for wear. My friend Jon and I were talking and we had both discovered that the condom machine five decks below us in the gents was a bit loose on the wall and we might be able to have a haul of free jonnies if we could free it. We figured it'd be a good idea to go and try, so, only wearing our boxer shorts we ran down five decks of this cruise ship to get this thing off the wall. We failed miserably, due to being far too pissed. So we started running back up the ship in fits of laughter and bumped into some of the girls we were with. We told them we weren't too bothered about going back to our cabin since one of the blokes we shared with smelt and was snoring loudly when we left. They glady offered us a place to stay for the rest of the night
.
That was the problem. We were on the deck below ours and the call comes over at half seven saying the ship is docking in half an hour and could everyone be ready to disembark! We knew by the sound outside that the corridor wasn't empty, so , clad only in our boxer shorts we left the girls room with as much dignity as we could muster and held our heads high whilst we passed the multitude of families and other normal people waiting to get off the ship.
I think under normal circumstances I'd be a bit embarrassed but I seem to remember just having a great big grin on my face!

a couple of years ago i was stressed out and found it difficult to relax. so i joined a yoga class at my gym.
at the very first lesson whilst trying to do something relatively simple i farted involuntarily.this in a very very quiet class.ok this was embarassing enough but what made me smile was that the girl in front of me blushed which was convenient for me.
suffice it to say i did not go again

I went away with college about 7 years ago to Prague. At this time it was just becoming an interesting place to visit and was totally uncommercial - a wonderful place. The bar in our hostel served Saropramen lager for about 50p per bottle. Me and my couple of close mates got bladded each night and it was our first taste of drinking and being away from home. There were three hilarious incidents relating to this.
Firstly the hostel had a tenpin bowling alley, well two actually, side by side. Our lane had a speed sensor, and so instead on playing to win, we played to get the highest speed. I reached 28mph! My mate got his swing wrong on one powerful attempt and the ball hit the lane very hard and actually bounced into the next door lane smashing a ball that had just been launched by a moody looking German student type. He and his group looked daggers at us, swore in German and walked off. Later my clumsy mate was taking a big swing and let go of the ball on the back swing, it clattered down some sters and hit into the same groups table - spilling some beers. Not good.
Secondly, one of the teachers husbands was called Jed. Me and my mates had a laugh about the link to star wars, and when we were battered we actually called "Jedi" down the corridor in a Yoda voice after he had walked past our door.
Thirdly, we found the local corner shop sold Staropramen lager at 10p per bottle, so being enterprising students we bought a crate. It was really heavy. After staggering out of the shop, we remembered that the hostel had security with pistols. We walked the long way around to the back of the hostel and one of us went in the front door and down to the basement where we smuggled the bottles in through an air vent. We sold some bottles to the 2nd year students - big respect from the fit girls! Being the only one old enough to take alcohol back to the uk, I had to take about 15 bottles in my small case which clinked on every step. got some funny looks through customs.

Also edited to say that no, none of those are crushingly embarrasing.

A short one.
Stood outside a pub with MOH and some friends having a drink and a laugh, when all of a sudden I felt a hand on my right breast. Looking down there is MOH holding onto my breast
But what was worse, he didn't even know he'd done it till I pointed it out to him. At which point he made a big fuss of apologising so the whole pub knew what he'd done.

When younger I was in hospital a few times with Asthma. The last time when I was about 12, I was rushed in, and my parents didn't have time to take any of my own clothes with me. I was given some quite tight old hospital pyjamas. On evening I was watching a Bond film (-live and let die i think with Jane Seymor as Solitare), in the childrens ward whilst lying on my side on the bed. I noticed the blonde girl in the next bed looking over at me, she seemed to be looking at my feet. I smiled and she nervously smiled back. I got back to Bond. When the ads came on I looked back over to the blonde. She was standing next to her bed now, mouth open a bit and was looking again at my feet, she smiled and came over to my bed and asked for some lucosade, she stayed standing there looking at my feet again. I looked down and to my horror my semi had pushed through the crappy pyjamas that didn't have a buttoned fly, and was on display for all to see! I just cupped my hand over him and mutted something about taking the bottle and helping herself.
