Tell us your most embarrassing moment.....

This didnt happen to me, but it happened to a lady in town, and to make matters worse for her, it even made the local newspaper.....
She and her husband towed their boat into the petrol (gas) station.....he went to get something and told his wife to fill the boat up with petrol........
(For those who are not familiar with boats.....a lot of them, have structured holes around the top of the hull so fishermen can put their fishing rods in, while they are out fishing)...........they are called "rod holders"
anyway......she proceeded to "fill the boat up with petrol" but she was unaware that instead of putting the nozzle from the bowser in the petrol tank of the boat, she actually had put it in the "rod holder".......and so filled up the hull of the boat, with $120 worth of petrol.......
Because of the risk, the boat had to be transported to a slipway, lifted up by a crane, and the boat placed on an angle to drain all the petrol out of the boat....with the fire brigade in attendance.
A very expensive and embarrassing time for this poor lady, and then the added bonus of having it splashed accross the local newspaper......
Guess, a lot of men were saying "dont send a woman, to do a mans job"......

I can't really remember that many, but the other day in a self defence class at school, I had to do a front flip and my top literally fell down, revealing all in front of my class, (consisting mostly of weird pervy guys) - not good, but I guess that's not that embarrassing compared to other people's experiences!

Hell, I've got a quite a few. Here's one that springs to mind.
I'd just started a new job reporting to the Customer Services Manager in a finance firm.
She asked me to draft a memo on her behalf, with her name and title at the bottom (Cust Service Manager) and then let her review it before sending it out.
So, did all I was asked, left the memo on her desk.
Later that day she stands up and calls me over, hands me back the memo and says "Karen, I sincerely hope that isn't what you think my title is." Perplexed I looked at the memo and (no word of a lie) I had mistyped the 's' as an 'n' making her a Cu*t Service Manager. Nice!
How red was I???

When the bouncer from the club knocked on my car window, and scared the crap out of Beau, who was having a grand old time on me. I think that qualifies.
PS I was very young

Just consider it as an audition for the part of Lureen in the Performance Thread, Emma!! (I had to read this, being the Front-Ranger and all)
And Scott, not near as embarassing for you as for Beau, what with him being on top, and the crap and all...
