Embarrassing moments

Have you ever just randomly remembered an embarrassing moment? It's awful. Last night I was getting ready for bed and I just remembered some random moment pulled from the cosmos of my brain and I instantly remembered and felt every feeling that I had had when it happened. I have a lot of embarrassing moments so it's not hard to bring one to memory, but man, I could totally skip it!

On that note, my brothers and sisters and I like to exchange email "strings" every now and again and inevitably one of us always remembers an embarrassing moment to share. It sets us all off and we tend to share WAY to much information with each other. For instance, we were sharing stories about peeing our pants last time. You can only imagine . . .

In honor of embarrassing moments, here is one of mine:
I was in high school at the time and my friend and I were at church. We both had taken an unnecessary bathroom break and I finished before she did. I thought I would be silly and wait for her then scare her as she came out of the stall. I still love scaring people. Ameri hates it. Anyway, I was standing in anticipation of the big scare when the stall door opens. I yell as loud as I can, "Arrrrrr"! Much to my dismay it was one of the old ladies from church in the stall and not my friend. She gave me this look like I was crazy and then just walked past me out the door (maybe she washed her hands first I don't know).
I was mortified! Where had my friend gone and how had I found myself in such a horrible situation. Well, my friend had indeed finished before me and heard the whole thing go down. That just made it worse. Not only had I made a fool of myself, but someone had witnessed it. Yep, even writing about it I get the flushed skin and creepy-crawlies. Feel free to share yours with me - the only thing to make a fool feel better is to know that there's a bigger fool out there!

Oooh - embarrassing moments. My life is chock full of those. My favorite is the time I was in the local video store, tripped on the carpet, fell into a free standing shelf of videos and knocked the whole thing over. Every single video fell to the floor in the loudest, longest crash. It was awesome!
I really hope someone can top that, because I would be really embarrassed if this were the most embarrassing moment ever. Yelling at old ladies in church - embarrassing, yes . . but public humiliation - now there's something special!
