Oh, yes. The other day I went on a walk with a friend and didn't realize I had my leggings on inside out until I went home. Had a good laugh about that one

Definitely. The first story that comes to mind is one that happened a long time ago. Living in NYC, we had bought a weekend house in the country and I was growing my first flower garden. I was excited about it. Too impatient to do much soil preparation, I planted seeds and cultivated the emerging plants. When they were about a foot tall I showed off my pride and joy to a neighbor who was an experienced gardener. After an awkward pause, she said, "I'm sorry, those are weeds."

Embarrassing situation for me: I walk early in the morning. I try to get going early so that I can read the paper, sip some coffee and get on with my routine. It was a couple of weeks ago that I got going and was about 1/4 mile into my walk when I realized that I had neglected to put on my glasses. I could see, but not really see. As it became lighter it became more apparent that I really truly need to wear my glasses. I made it home OK; and when I told my wife what happened her smirk was obvious (whether I had my glasses on or not).

Hilarious, Marilyn. I am one of those people who finds humor in the many, many accidental occurances in my life.

I wish that I could have seen the look on your face, heehee.

I am reminded of a story that was shared in the earliest days of the Gardenweb, maybe close to twenty years ago, when the topic was 'Most Embarrassing Moment'. The OP confessed to a time walking across a busy street at a stoplight in Chicago, wearing her pregnancy panties several months after having her baby.

She was wearing a skirt, felt them give way, arms full. She just let them go and kept on walking.

A few years ago..I took my 16 year old daughter and my 30+ year old son to a video store to exchange a video game I bought them the night before that didn't work. The man at the counter tried to give me flack yet I paid 4 $ extra for a guarantee. ..as I'm getting heated up my denture that houses my two eye teeth fell out onto the counter..I of course picked it up and put it back into my mouth, the poor man however disappeared, I guess he was way more embarrassed than I was. I should have been mortified, but learned long ago to laugh at myself when *stuff happens* My two lovely children also disappeared LOL...I was given a new game very quickly.

As many of you may know, I like to meditate and I'll go to a group meditation on occasion to learn different types and such. Well, meditation is all about being in the now and being totally aware of what's happening right now...not letting your mind wander to the past or worry about the future. Well, let me tell you, there's nothing that will focus your attention on the now quite so much as sitting in a room full of people who are all being very silent and feeling that feeling that you have to pass gas!

I have been laughing out loud! I have lost weight while in the rv. I have a very limited wardrobe in here. Most are yoga pants or capris, I had on a pair of the capris, stood up in the living room to walk to the sink and my pants were at my ankles about half way there. I was glad I was alone! My husband just had one of those duh moments this morning. He was telling me that the new stove was not exactly the same height as the new countertops. Right about then he stopped, said well damn, then realized that the stove has adjustable feet on the bottom! Lol Now it's in perfect alignment.

Can't think of a "my-funny" at the moment ... will have to give it some thought.

Marilyn Sue, your story of underwear with over-aged elastic reminds me of a story that went the rounds here a few years back about my aged briefs with similar problems ...

... and I was wondering about attaching new elastic to each one ... or making a girdle that was detached and could be moved from brief to brief - I chose the latter.

Having sought advice here about the wisest course of action ... I was advised to just get new ... but my frugal self found that advice somewhat wanting, in the light of the need to get full value from the various resources available to us.

Some of those undies are still operable, I think ... but some of the elastics are getting rather old ... slack ... deteriorated looking, especially the narrow ones: the wider ones seem to stand up better (actually, it's at the "stand up" times that the need for them to be in full operable capability becomes more apparent).

Annie, I know what you mean about the Gas Moment. For me it comes during yoga. Some of our moves seem to really promote the feeling. I have been able to hold it off so far, but I'm sure I'm gonna do it one of these days. Ugh.

Littlebug - it happened to me in yoga while the instructor was helping me. I wanted to die!!! Then I made the mistake of telling my kids and my then 6 year old son wrote a story about it at school and turned it into his teacher. I could only laugh.

I accidentally got into a revolving door stall with a stranger and it was so small it was hardly big enough for one person. I was picking up food and thought I was going out the regular door but walked right into the revolving door with a very large man. He loooked at me like I was out of my mind. I looked up and said "sorry!" I think if I were a guy he might have punched me in the nose. It was sooo awkward :)

OMG lily spider I just about choked on my water! That's getting way too friendly with a stranger .

Some of these are so hilarious!

The other day while making a quick run into Joanns, I got a call from my boss. I hate talking business in a store so I quickly left to go to my car. It was bright and sunny so I put on my shades as I was rushing out. I get to the car and finish the call, reach in my purse to get something and grab a weird lense thing instead, reach back in and out comes a second lense thing. Still confused I pull off my sunglasses and both the lenses were missing! I had run through half of the store and a whole parking lot like that! No wonder a woman walking into the store gave me such a strange look! LOL

Hi lukki,

Looks like you didn't get the usual darkened view of the landscape, that day, huh?

One time I was chatting with my sec'y near her desk about hair salons and just as my boss walked by, I misspoke. I meant to say they do a nice blow dry job, but somehow I accidentally left out the word "dry".

Annie did he ask for the address ? Lol

Ali, you & me both. I've though many weeds were plants I've grown & fertilized until someone looks in my garden & says pull those weeds out!!! How embarrassing.

I took my car in for service at my local Nissan dealership. They said it was done, I signed the paperwork. They said the valet has it right out front.

I got inside, started it up, looked around & thought, "what in Gods name have they done to my car?" It's a mess.

I moved the driving seat to my normal position & noticed a baby seat in the back seat & baby toys everywhere. OMG.

I was in the wrong car & they gave me the wrong keyfob.

The car was identical to mine, but mine was 4 spaces over. How embarrassing.

I'm now more observant when picking my car up after service.

My mop & glow bottle had a hole in it. So I grabbed an empty rubbing alcohol bottle & put mop & glow in the isopropyl alcohol bottle.

Months past & I forgot.... I got a cut on my leg & grabbed the rubbing alcohol with mop & glow & rubbed that on my leg. I thought what a lovely lemon smell. Then it hit me, that wasn't alcohol at all. What a mess washing mop & glow off my leg.

We went several years, about seven at the beginning of our marriage with no T.V., my parents also barely watched T.V.. My car was having some strange issue and my husband told me to take it to the dealership. He gave me instructions to tell them that the issue was in the, "Matter Antimatter Converter" so I did. The person at the desk looked at me perplexed. I then said let's call my husband. My husband then told both of us that the "Matter Antimatter Converter " is in the emessions. They walked to get the emissions specialist. He came over shaking his head and said, " The Matter Antimatter Converter is on the Enterprise not on your Toyota". I then was perplexed and said let's call my husband. After telling him what the specialist said all I could hear was laughter. When the car was repaired I got a call telling me I could beam myself over.

Yes. OJ's underwear is legendary at the KT.

Some days I'm a walking blunder. I emailed my child's band director about shirts the other night. I thought I had proof read before I sent my message. As I got my response back, I reread my message and realized I had made an unfortunate typo. I left the 'r' out of 'shirts'.

No panties lost, but a long time ago some of you might recall wrap-around skirts were popular. I had this really cute denim skirt I wore to work. These skirts usually tied at the waist. I was walking from the car to the building on a very windy day, and somehow my tie had managed to loosen. The wind caught my skirt and whisked it right off. Fortunately I caught it before it went too far & into a nearby field (I had on a slip - that was back in the day when I still wore those too). I looked around to see who was around and was lucky NO ONE was really looking.

And for those of you with 'panty' stories, I thought you'd get a kick out of this story I saw yesterday.

I too have never lost panties in public but I laugh at myself all the time.

After work one day walking to my car, I stepped on a little piece of mulch with the heel of my shoe and I swear it felt like I was falling over in slow motion. I remember thinking, I'm actually going to fall on the ground! And, I did.

Got back up, kept walking to my car and got in. A co-worker was headed right towards me, looking very concerned. She came over to the window and asked if I was ok. When I said I was, we both burst out laughing. She said, well at least you were graceful as you fell!

I still think of that often when I'm leaving work and walking over the same spot and it still makes me laugh every time.

Thank goodness, yes! Keeps me entertained, because I seem to come up with some real gems.

Assembled a piece of patio furniture (in the house, because it was raining, and I did not want to wait), only to discover that I could not get it out the door!

And another....Went to get my mail. Instead of getting out the mailbox key, I pressed the remote for the security system...twice!

I give others an opportunity to laugh, too!

Was walking down a hall going to a meeting and noticed that one of my shoes made a clicking sound as I walked and other one didn't. Yes, I was wearing two different shoes! Then I had to restrain my giggles during the meeting every time I thought about my mismatched shoes.

Another time, we had a department store very nearby and I mostly walked there. But on one occasion, I was in a hurry because guests were coming over for a birthday celebration, so I drove there instead. Home again, DH asked me where the car was and I said "in the driveway, as usual." Well, it wasn't there! Then it dawned on me that I had walked home from the store, forgetting to take the car!
