one of the most embarassing moments that i can recall now happened in law school... i stood up in class to ask a question, and in the course of discussing my question with the professor, i mispronounced the word "fact"... i was trying to say "as a matter of fact" and ended up saying as a matter of f***" (yes, the 4 letter word for fornicate that i don't think is allowed here on mylot) the whole class cracked up and i was as red as atomato. fortunately, the prof didn't quite catch what i said, he simply asked me what was so funny ;-)

Oh my goodness, I feel for you and your embarrassing moment! I mean, to ever say that word accidentally is very embarrassing, let alone in front of a whole classroom! I know that that is a moment that I would never be able to forget. I really can't stand the feeling of embarrassment *laugh* I just wanted to say that you have my utmost sympathy about what happened to you in law school that day!

That's one of those moments that's incredibly embarrassing at the time but when you think back on it, it's something funny to remember! I think my most embarrassing moment happened shortly after I started my current job. I had to give a presentation to a roomful of about 50 people, and I was new at public speaking. I was so nervous my throat was dry, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to speak, so I got a small plastic cup full of water and carried it to the podium. I of course proceeded to knock it over and spill it all over myself. I was wearing a white blouse and looked like I was trying to enter a wet tee-shirt contest! What could I do but take a deep breath and say "well, I wanted to get your attention, but that wasn't exactly what I had in mind ..." and then launch into my presentation. After that experience, public speaking got easy. How could it be any worse! Well, I guess it is possible, since I also know a man who split his pants in front of a classroom once : ).

Oh - LOL! I can imagine! As for my most embarrassing moment, - well I remember going for a job interview once, wearing a really smart white blouse. They gave me a cup of tea, and I somehow managed to spit the tea out while I was talking, and spll it all over the lovely blouse. That was very embarrassing!

You should have just said sorry and corrected yourself.

The latest most embarassing moment for me was last year, we were in a bus when we need to stop over for a break, since the girl's CR was under renovation they occupied our CR and we boys ended up outside (walls, corners, bushes) since I have nowhere to pee and all the bushes were still crowded so I'd waited them to finished. The bus beeped and all passengers must go back to thier seats and they rushed towards the bus while I do my own thing since they left the spot. Suddenly a group of young ladies passed by the bushes and saw me pee where they even stop looking at my thing then they rushed towards the bus while laughing and giggling.

I can't think of the #1 embarrassing moment right now for me but the other day my son and I were in the doctor's office. All of a sudden he starts saying I want my baby sister now. My baby sister mommy. I want her now. Baby sister. My son is obsessed with having seiblings although he already has a brother. Someone came up to me and said oh, you must be pregnant with a girl. Um, I'm not pregnant!
