The Embarassment thread Pt.1

XtheDeadPawn · #1 12-03-2011, 04:53 PM

As bassists or more frankly people in general we all have a "Oh God I want to die right now!" moment. I thought it'd be fun and therapeutic for us to post one or two up here.
Now to stop this thread from going out of control I've made up some ground rules.

#1. Do not in anyway shape or form take anyone's horrible moments into a troll post or else. It's not cool and it's not cute so don't.

#2. Please don't in anyway post personal info that isn't public knowledge i.e. names of ex girlfriends, places you work/worked, or things that you yourself don't want to be known.

#3. Finally don't post any embrassing moment that wasn't yours I don't want you taking that person to the cleaners that again is not cool or cute so don't do it.

Now for my embarassing moments:

#1. I never learned to ride a bike. (Not really a moment but, it is just a starter)

#2. I once fainted in hs during Psychology class the shirt I was wearing? "Do Not Revive".

#3. In Middle school I once couldn't make it to the toliet. But, to my credit I did make it to the urnial but, couldn't unzip my damn fly in time. Also I stayed there for two hours until the local police guy who worked at the school was doing a truancy sweep and found me then called my parents for them to bring me a change of boxers and pants.

Where should I start? I'll just stick with the big two:

#1- when are you due? "I'm not pregnant you a**hole"

#2- I'm madly in love with you. "I just want to be friends"

Oddly enough, i've never had a TRULY embarassing moment while playing. I've started playing the wrong song, forgotten words, fallen down, but I always start laughing and don't feel embarassed.

I've shat my pants multiple times, in multiple different places.
I've been caught doing the 5 knuckle shuffle by an acquantance.

one time in HS i split my pants trying to play soccer i went through the rest of the day with a duct tape patch covering my butt.

the other was a Freudian slip involving my lab partner in the computer lab who was rather gifted in the boob area. she told me that she finished the assignment over the weekend and i exclaimed "you're the breast! erm i mean best"

Oh man, well it was a hell of morning to start with. I got up to shower. Then, while walking to my dad's room to get into his bathroom to shower, I didn't realize it was open and hit my head against the door (I wasn't fully awake yet, my alarm woke me up), then I fall back and trample down my staircase. After showering and doing all that personal hygiene stuff, I went to school. Everything was fine until I realized I was wearing my underwear... oh man, I was freaking out in my mind, but surprisingly nobody noticed (or maybe they dead and said nothing) except for my friend I told.

This happened in 7th grade, by the way.

Once, I went into the bathroom on a hot summer day and took a crap when at a bar with my friends and some chicks we knew. I was a solid player then, and had my eyes on Sandy. I was acting all suave and started to talk to her. Little did I know, the sweat on my butt completly stuck the ass gasket to me and the back middle part actually had some matter on it. So there I was, with a crap covered ass gasket hanging out the back of my jeans, walking around a bar and trying to pick up on girls.

Thank god my buddy let me know.

The most embarrassing moment I've had on stage was during my 2nd live show ever, and first with that band. We had a 7 song set list, and the last song had a pretty nifty bass intro that I was proud of. I played the first 6 songs almost flawlessly while having fun with the very rowdy crowd crammed into a small basement. Then the 7th song came up and I **** the bed so hard during the intro that it didn't even resemble what was supposed to be there. I mean, out of all the times to screw up, it had to be when I was the only person being heard.

Playing baseball in elementary school with my whole class involved, as I was scoring the first run I slipped and went sliding on my back for several feet on some mud that was still around home plate (from rain the night before)!

I was careful while batting but not while running. Duh!

The principal, against his better judgment (with me whining away), let me ride my bike home (about 10 minutes away) to change. My parents did not work close by so I would have been a stick in the mud all day if the principal hadn't let me go home.

Going to lunch, I had to drop a deuce really bad. I didn't pay attention to which restroom I went into. Sat down and heard a group of women come in. I was pretty freaked out. I locked the stall door and lifted my feet up (I was wearing shorts.) It was about 40 minutes before the chance to escape came.

Bad:
Happened after one of the very first bike races I entered. I went to my car, took the front wheel off the bike, leaned it against the back bumper, put the bike on the roof rack, loaded the rest of my stuff into the car, got in, backed up, and drove right over the front wheel, ruining it.

Worse:
I couldn't find an identical replacement rim, so for the next year I had one black rim and one silver rim. "Hey Jim, how come your rims don't match?"

Jim Nazium · #13 12-04-2011, 09:51 AM

Oh yeah, there was also the time I got into a car accident on a first date with a girl I really liked. Talking to her, not paying attention, BOOM! rear-ender.

Very first track meet in HS: I was exceeedingly nervous, and said a short prayer while in the starting blocks. I was in the 200yd race, and I basically prayed that I wouldn't do so poorly as to embarrass my teammates. Well, I didn't. I embarrassed myself. As soon as I rounded the corner, my uh....well, my partner in crime decided it was a good idea to pop out of my shorts and say hello. I was doing pretty well in the race up until then, but I noticecd something was amiss. I spent the last 5o yards or so trying to tuck back in...needless to say, I did not place in that race. I pretty much disappeared for the next few minutes, and eventually started telling people I had cramped up. No one really asked any questions since...

During an exam I farted out loud, So loud that everybody was looking in my direction. I really wanted to disappear, to be invisible or at least pull a sack over my head.

Happened to me at the state cross country meet last year. Good incentive to run faster.
