What is one of your silliest embarrassing moments?

Years ago, even Bretrick had a couple of DVD XXX Movies.(Only a couple)
I always used to borrow DVD Films from my local Library.
One day when I took the Library Movies back, one of the XXX films was amongst them.
Handing them in, I walked away to view the Movie Section.
A few minutes later the Library worker, ( A lady of Senior Years) came to me and said, "You may want to keep this one"
Very Explicit front cover.
She never flinched at all. Neither did I.
Nonchalantly took the movie. "Thank you"
 

Similar story...

When my girls were little, Hon and I rented Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the kids...then an adult film for us for later in the evening.

I must admit I had a little tear in my eye when I had to return Chitty the next day. But of course I was outright bawling when I had to return Bend Over Baltimore to the XXX store! lol!
 
Coming out of a Pool Hall one night, me and a friend went to his car and the keys wouldn't work on the door. So we eventually had to rip off some of the siding of the car to try and wedge it down the window to try to pop the lock.

After several frustrating minutes I looked over and realized we had the wrong car! The car we wrecked was the exact same color and model of my friend's car. Needless to say we scampered into the correct vehicle and peeled out of there giggling like two little school girls! lol!
 

One day in the mountains of Southern Spain.. we were driving in convoy up a very steep mountain road.. My daughter.. DD partner.. my husband and I.. and friends..

I had to go pee so everyone stopped at a place that I could go and find a bush ...In the meantime the the cars moved up a little bit away from the bend on the road, and so I just walked along parallel to the road to catch up with the cars.. thinking I just have to step over the roadside barrier.

What I didn't realise was how high the barrier was and I got completely stuck trying to climb over it...this was about 5 years ago.. My DD took great delight in capturing this very embarrassing moment..

Looks like it would have been easier to crawl under, Hols :ROFLMAO:
 
I don't know cars. My embarrassing life moment was when my mom's car had some trouble light lit up, and the car's manual troubleshooting page said to take it to a Volkswagen service place. I called to make an appointment and they asked me what model it was, and I said it was a Subaru (in my innocence thinking that was a model not a make). The service place said they didn't service those, and I responded that the manual said to take it to Volkswagen service. The guy was like "Your Subaru's manual says to take it to Volkswagen?". So he made the appointment. Then when the car was finished they loudly announced in the crowded waiting room my name and 'Your SUBARU is ready!'. :oops:
 
Other than being told to leave we didn't get in any trouble but I got caught skinny dipping with a couple of local gals in the rooftop pool of the Nana Hotel in Bangkok around 2:00 a.m. back in 73'.....wasn't anyone else around at that time but the three of us and it just seemed like a good thing to do. :)

A long time ago. In upper New York State outside of Buffalo. Myself and a guy I went to high school with were drinking in a bar. Eventually decided to go home, back to Toronto. My 64 Olds Starfire 2 door hard top was a light sea foam green color. I started what I thought was MY CAR, only to have Bruce say "Jim, this car has American plates on it "!!! It was another 64 Olds, and my door key not only opened the driver's door, the ignition key started the engine. Oh dear. We quietly locked up the wrong car, slithered across the parking lot, and quietly drove back to the Peace Bridge. I guess there can only be so many key variations for an Olds........ JIMB.
 
I was doing some grocery shopping, with my mind on all the other stuff I had to do. I left cart, with my purse in the top part of it and went to grab some produce. I went back to what I thought was my cart and started to push it on to the next aisle when a woman called out to me; "Miss, that is my cart."

I looked down and saw that I didn't recognize the groceries or the handbag in the cart. I apologized, but the woman looked at me strangely. I sheepishly slunk over to my cart and got away as quickly as I could!
 
My fiends sister owned a little combination craft store and deli lunch counter. When day we are eating lunch and his sister comes up to me showing me a sweat shirt with an American flag embroided on it, kind of that half finished look with strings hanging out all over. She says, "hey C50 you should buy this for your wife, she would like it" (she was friends with my wife). I said I would never spend money on such a stupid looking shirt. She says, "I made this".

My bad.
 
That's incredible!
Another time, in another place. I owned a taxi cab with a company called Astral Cab, in a town just to the north of Toronto. At the time ( 1979 ) I worked full time for Metro Toronto Ambulance. We worked 20 days out of 42 in a 6 week cycle. Once every 6 weeks I had seven straight days off of work. I bought the taxi plate and a car, and joined Astral Cab as an owner/operator, driving my cab on my 7 days off period. It cost me $150 a month for the company radio dispatch service, but a good Saturday night 's fares paid for that. I bought the taxi plate as a future investment.

I drove for Astral for about 2 years, then I sold the taxi license to a Russian guy who paid me double what I had paid for it, two years before hand. A 100 percent return, plus I had made money every month while I owned the plate. About a year later, I happened to be in the area where Astral Cab's office had been located in an old house on a side street. I thought "I'll drop in and see who's on dispatch today " ?

I walked in the front door and walked into what used to be the radio room.....OH dear, this is now a Private Home!!! The lady was a bit surprised, but once I explained that I didn't know that Astral had moved their office to another street, she laughed out loud.

By the way, back then I was Cab number 40 in that town, now the taxi plate numbers are over 1200. That is how much the population of the area has grown up there in about 50 years. JIM.
 
From May 19th to June 14th 1978, I was in a production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. I played Romeo's servant Balthasar. I got to fence with Italian foils in the opening scene where there is a street brawl/fight between the Capulets and the Montagues. I was on the side of the Montagues. I also was in the ballroom dance scene where the young lovers meet.

Well before one performance, for whatever stupid reason, I made a can of Campbell's Bean & Bacon soup. Men know what beans make them do. Well during the street brawl scene I lunged at the actor playing a Capulet with my foil, when I heard a disgusting noise come from my body. He had a shocked look on his face, so he had heard it. Fortunately, with sound of all of the clanging of rapiers and daggers, along with the screams of the extras playing the villagers, no one else heard it. From that point on, I never again ate beans before a performance again.
 
I remember another silly, slightly embarrassing incident.
Locked my keys in the car, called RAC, my membership had lapsed.
So RAC arrived, took my renewal payment of $180. He proceeded to check all doors.
The rear passenger door was not locked šŸ™ƒ
