What was the Last.....

[leonardess]

Really embarrassing thing that happened to you? C'mon, let's get it all out there and at least have a laugh about it.

I'll tell you mine:

It was during my latest trip to Paris. I was walking along the rue de Rivoli, it's lined with touristy little shops selling all kinds of little trinkets and other tourist tripe.

I spotted a yo-yo, and thought, Hey! a chance to show off! I used to be pretty handy with a yo-yo! I'm going to grab one and give it a good spin and wow everyone -

Now, the Rue de Rivoli is always pretty crowded, especially on a Saturday at 1pm. So I grab one of the yo-yos, spend time getting the string juuuuust right, wind it around the yo-yo tight but not too tight, get it palmed just perfectly, and let 'er rip -

the thing hits the ground with a pop like a shotgun, breaks apart, and one side spins along the ground like one of those wheel fireworks things - I mean it's breakin the sound barrier - and keeps on rolling, right past a japanese tourist who points to it (helpfully) and gives a little scream while looking at me.

i chase after it, wondering if, when it finally stops, will i be in another country.

Well, you can imagine...

Sorry, but...

I can't remember the last really embarrassing thing that happened to me, it's usually just small things these days. One of the worst was when I went into my dad's bank to cash a cheque on his behalf. I tried finding my way to the end of the queue between those rope barrier things but I got "lost" almost straight away and I couldn't find the way in. After making several unsuccessful attempts with everyone standing around watching, I just turned around and left. Defeated by a piece of rope!

Today, I went to my beach and there was no one there - too cold and cloudy.
The saddest ending to a sad summer weather season.

I was in the kitchen at work rushing and I ran around to the wash-up area and slipped and landed on my back. I managed to grab onto some trays of cutlery but god it made a noise! Haha. Lucky I didn't hurt myself.

Aw, that is sad.

I went to a local festival and was trying to juggle a soft drink, slice of pizza, and some onion rings. I had just bought the pizza and as I turned around, it started to slide off the plate. I tried to save it and ended up dropping both the pizza and the onion rings and spill about 1/3 of my Coke. To top it off, two girls were sitting on the sidewalk about 5 feet from me and they both started laughing at me.

I just laughed, gathered up my food, threw it away, and walked off.

uugghhhh.......

okay this was like march-april.

i was still new to that side of town and i didn't know who i wanted to date, so at the same time i was getting at this russian lady, and this american chick,

but i also made this friend who happened to be a chick, but just a friend though,

and we're going to the trolly to get to the park&ride, and we stop in a gas station for some some cigarettes and water, and russian lady and american chick are both in there, and they see me with her, and they both come up to see what's goin on, and notice each other, and it was just a sh** storm for me.

from now on, only one woman at a time, just one, that's it.

A couple of years ago I went to pay some money in at the bank. As I was walking across town through the busy pedestrianised area, I was a bit preoccupied with trying to stop myself gagging because of the cat **** on my hand (lol, don't ask) and I wasn't looking where I was walking. All of a sudden my shoe started to make a loud sticky/squelching sound every time I picked it up - I'd stepped on some chewing gum. I tried to wipe it off without stopping but it was no use so I carried on, trying my best to walk on the edge of my foot so that it wouldn't make so much noise. It didn't really help and I probably looked like I was half man, half chimpanzee. I finally got to the bank and just as I was going in, I stepped on some paper and it stuck to the chewing gum. I couldn't really stop there in the entrance to the bank where everyone was sitting around waiting, so I just kept going with the paper flapping around until I got to the end of the queue. At least it stopped the noise which was coming from the chewing gum.
