At work we have a lot of road that isn't paved, it's just gravel and dirt, most of the process area is paved. Last week I was walking through the process area and some how walked funny and twisted my ankle. My hard hat went one way my safety glasses went the other. For a second i didn't think anybody saw me but when I looked up there were three guys walking out of the maintenance building and I knew I was busted. It would have been expected on the gravel but not on the paved smooth area.

Embarrassing? Hmmm I didn't care much for those who cared for me and cared for the wrong person. Nothing more embarrassing than this.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
At work we have an underground water pipe (~4 ft). At one point there is a valve in the line to open and close the line. There is a pole sticking out of the ground which allows you to open and close the valve from above ground. A few days ago I checked and it looked like the valve/pipe was leaking. yadda yadda yadda it got fixed. Today I checked the valve. Now water had been leaking from the valve for the previous two days, the water was being pumped out but the area was still muddy. I had to check the valve today to make sure it ould open and close. I knew it would be a little muddy so before I got near the valve I rolled up my pant legs just in case. I took a step off the grating into the muddy area and everything was fine, the dirt was firm. A few more step and all was good. I took my last step to get to the pole and I sunk to about my knee in mud, in the process my other leg sunk to about halfway to my knee. I was sure I as going to lose my shoes getting myself out of the mud. I freed myself from the mud but i looked like I as dipped in chocolate from the knees down!!
Nobody saw me get stuck, but I didn't walk very far until the engineer saw me and made sure to tell everybody what happened.

Is something still embarassing, even if there's no one around to see?
Ok, so I went to a hike. The trail was very muddy, and everyone had mud up their ankles, some up to their shins.
The hike group sparsed-out, and eventually it's my brother and I walking for a while. We came to a clearing in the woods, with a cute wooden sign about 2ft high, that said 'REST STOP'.
Well, I was so frustrated with the hike, and the mud, I walked up to the sign to kick it! But because my feet were coated in mud, when I extended my right foot to kick, my left foot slipped out from under me, and I fell flat on my butt!!!!
My bro laughed at me so long! It was embarassing, but thank God none of the other hikers were around!

I put my foot in my mouth again. it seems to live there these days. I think I need to start being more careful bout what I say to people.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
The most embarrassing moment that I can remember is on my way home I twisted my ankle I don't how, like PAPAYAHED, and I almost fell, thank god, I find my balance immediately and I kept facetill that moment. there were a lot of people there, a guy and two girl was walking before me and once they noticed what happened they started laughing, they almost suffocated. Poor me, I was in pain, my foot hurts like hell, and I was blushing and wished I could vanish

This morning I flashed three contractors.. I went out to go over a procedure with them, my shoe was untied so I stopped about 3 ft in front of them they were busy getting thing ready but when I stood back up all three were looking at me...and my top, which apparently opens when I'm stooped over.

I was studying in an 'open classroom' we have on my campus when I noticed a cute guy I'd been meaning to approach over by the electric pencil sharpener. Since I'm shy and indecisive, when I got the idea to sharpen my pencil and chat him up, I immediately started across the room, before I had a chance to chicken out.
I almost sharpened my favorite mechanical pencil!

This isn't really embarrassing but it could have been. As ya'll have heard me whining I've been working a lot of hours, so have all my coworkers. As it happens when people spend a lot of time together they get a little more comfortable. I've heard more farting, burping, and other assorted noises from these people more these past two weeks then in the entire past 2 years. Anyways this afternoon as it sometimes happens I needed to adjust my bra. So sitting in my office I don't think anything of it I lift up my top and fix the strap. About halfway through I realized where I was and what I was doing. Luckily nobody walked by while I had my top lifted.

I won't believe those stories until I see photographic evidence

Recently there was a stat holiday... that had slipped my mind. I woke up a bit earlier than normal, had a nice breakfast and decided to head to our shop ahead of schedule, when I arrived I noticed no one had parked in the unreserved (best) parking stalls, so I thought myself quite lucky that the foremen were loafing today and I managed to be first at work. I chose a prime stall and walked over to the building where the guard on duty asked if there had been a hit power pole or other cable faults in the city... I of course said no and pontificated about the 'early bird getting the worm'... and he replied, 'about 24 hrs early, today is a stat'. Heh, I was rather embarrassed.

To set this up I have to explain that I have somehow set my phone settings to read aloud all my texts unless my ringer is on silent or vibrate. I don't know how it happened nor have I figured out how to fix it. Sometimes I forget this and it reads aloud texts I'd rather it not, this is an example of such a time...
I was running some errands, one of which was to buy a halter shirt I could wear my new halter bra with because I bought the bra without having a shirt I could wear it with, I liked the color and the cool magnetic closure.Luckily she had a good sense of humor and found it very funny.
