The most embarrassing mistake in your life?

Sign in to disble this ad
It happened in the early days of the Internet when I and my wife shared a PC.

I found some cool photos on the Net. You know, the kind of photos men dig. I emailed them to a friend with a subject line that read "Enjoy!". He was always very responsive to my email. So, a couple days later I thought it was kinda strange not to hear from him. I opened Netscape and made sure the email had been sent.

To my horror, for some reason, I emailed the photos to my wife's friend. I must have clicked her address instead of my friend's address. Because she was (still is) my wife's best friend, I have met with her and her husband numerous times since that accident. I just hope that she never opened my email.

It's common enough as spam that it could be written off as such.

No pics, no wife's best friend.

Duh-OF COURSE she opened it and then spent the next 5 hrs *$^$%$^# over it!

THEN she deleted it. You obviously won't bring it up, nor will she (that's for sure). But she is seriously thinking about your mentality and also pining for the email she was forced to get rid of.

I "Porky Pigged" it in front of the FedEx guy.

I was getting ready to shower when the phone rang. I was disrobed from the waist down when I answered the phone and got into a long serious conversation where I was pacing about. I was the only person home so no biggie, but I had forgot about my state of undress when the delivery guy came. I opened the door, and the rest is history. The FedEx guy had a story to tell his co-workers and friends that day and evening, and for years to come no doubt.

He did handle it well I must say. It took me a few seconds to recognize something was amiss and dart behind the door. I put on a towel and came back to sign and explain why I was dressed like Porky Pig earlier, but I don't think he believed me.

Hee hee. This made me giggle.
UM... Here's a story... This is embarrassing but, here goes..
At one job I had started it was my first day and my boss was going over some stuff and showing me around and I was feeling reaaaally not good and suddenly, before I knew it, I farted really loudly...

I don't have one particular story that stands out. There have been many. Way too many.

Being a young lad. Thinking since Ragweed looked like another leafy illegal substance, I thought it got you high as well. So anyone I thought looked loopy or out of it I would say they were on the rag.

I still get bummed about that sometimes......

Too many times to count but, it's usually that point in an argument when I realize I'm wrong.

Reminds me of mine...

We were 16,my best friend had a new gf,so 3 of us went out to have some food and so that I'd meet the girl.

By the time I used to eat like a pig.So I eat 4 chicken burgers,french fries and had a huge coke.


I was feeling sleepy so I decided to stretch,I lift my arms up and loudest fart I've ever made came out.I was looking like I was celebrating it with my arms up...

I laughed for a good 30 mins after that.


ps:I just realized your sig,gives me the chills every time I listen to it,great song!

She not only opened it, she told everybody she knows about it except possibly her husband and your wife.

Octoberfest Fair, with rides and stuff. Last october. Non or the portapotties had any Toilet Paper in them. So after eating tons of junk food and feeling sick, and no toilet paper, the rides weren't as fun.
