in high school - way too many to mention - I was easily embarassed back then
after high school - I was walking down the stairs of the Biltmore Hotel holding a bunch of clothes for a photo shoot - took a wrong step and landed in a pile at the bottom in front of about 30 business suit types waiting for their cars
I recently went into a bathroom at the movie theater and while I was in the stall, heard a loud, mucus-filled cough. I glanced under the stall and saw a pair of feet in leather sandals. Then, I realized that the sandals were facing the toilet! I peeked throught a crack in the door and saw urinals. I was in the wrong bathroom. Needless to say, I got out of there quickly.
OMG, Cookie...TOO funny!! I guess my most embarassing moment was that one I already mentioned at 7-11, but another good one was when Ted and I were trying out a new church. It was one of those churches where you are in small groups (about 6), hold hands, and say a small individual prayer to the group. Welllllll, we were with these 4 older people who were VERY eloquent & had obviously been doing this awhile. I was FROZEN with fear, as 1.) I have never been a "public pray-er" and 2.)I am shy by nature in general. Ted did fine (as I knew he would), and when it came to my turn, all I could say was "Amen!" Que pena!!!
First folks probably need to know 2 of my top 3 fears are speaking in front of people and flying....(BOTH of which I do every day!)
So....been a programmer for my adult life up to this point and my career took an odd set of turns where I came up with an idea for some software my company in turn wanted to sell...they said okay you wrote it now go sell it...bibbity, boppity, boo...I'm in sales...
One of my first presentations was in Chicago, in an auditorium in front of 75 programmers. Nervous,sweating, the projector fails...rushing to get a new one set up and I caught the end of a the table and my suit pants ripped from ankle to underwear....right as people are filing in for the start....
Only thing handy was a stapler...which only held through the first half of the presentation....second half was done to cat-calls from the audience.
