Two silly questions of the day 12/30

After reading Steve's post I thought of a silly question & then a friend & I were discussing question #2 & I thought it would be fun to see all of your responses.
Question #1.. What is your most embarassing moment or the most embarassing moment of someone else that you witnessed?
The one thing that always comes to my mind is kinda gross but it was hilarious ( & still is) .. My Mom was a well loved woman (my best friend) & the church was filled for her funeral with not a dry eye in the house.. Well, as my brother & our families were walking out of the church following the casket, I happen to look to my left & see one of my brothers best friends sitting there sobbing uncontrollably & all of a sudden as he was trying to hold back a sob he got all choked up & a big booger flies out of his nose ( I told ya it was gross) & HITS the back of the head of the lady in front of him.. Now, I burst out laughing & then became hysterically laughing when the lady rubs her hand on her head to find what hit her... It was very embarsassing for my brothers friend but it did lighten up a sad monent for me & I always believed my Mom made that happen. We still talk about that & it was 14 years ago!

Okay, question #2.. If money were no concern.. what job would you want at WDW.. A good friend of mine ( abother Disney fanatic) & I always discuss this.. Our DH's think she & I should be the official Disney greeters.. like at Wal-Mart... "Welcome to
Walt Disney World, the happiest place on earth".. Her DH wants to work at the golf course & my DH wants to be the bus driver...

Uugghh!Could that be when I forgot my underwear(there's a story there!) on the morning that we went to MGM, or then again, I still remember walking into my 6th grade graduation with the toilet paper stuck to the heel of my shoe....
As for Q#2-- DS(7) wants to work in the TOT, DD(10)wants to be Belle, Lynne,my partner(the librarian) would take over the library archives, and, as for me, I want Michael Eisner's job!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

My most embarrassing moment goes way back to Junior high school when style and grace were of the utmost importance. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

One morning, I did my usual routine and headed out to the bus stop to wait with my 2 best friends. It just so happened to be pouring down rain this morning and the bus came shortly after I got to the stop.

So, me and my friends got on the bus and just like normal girls, talked, gossiped and flirted with the boys.

Well several flirts later, we finally made it to school. The buses always dropped us off right in front of the lobby where ALL the kids hung out before school started. There was a huge "overhang" off the lobby so that even if it were raining, you could stand outside and not get wet. As my bus pulled up, the kids proceeded to get off one by one. Then comes my turn...who knew those darn bus steps could be so slippery in the rain?!?!? That's right, you guessed it. Instead of gracefully exiting the bus like everyone else, my foot slipped on the first step and I rolled right out and landed on my rump on the sidewalk in front of everyone!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Guess that was my attempt to be the center of attention and you know what? It worked LOL! Funny now but at the moment, I was [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] at myself for winding up on the wet pavement and ruining my clothes. Mom wasn't happy that morning either as I made her bring me new clothes to school. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Good ole Mom, she saved the day (couldn't do much for my grace and style though)

I am laughing so hard I just know I'm going to wake my family up this late at night! ROTF!

Ok - my most embarrassing moment had to be in 8th grade. I had a split English class meaning that we went to class, split for lunch and then came back to class. Well, my English teacher was quite large, was notorioudly late for the second part of class, and I was her "pet" and people would tease me about it. So one day I was one of the very last people back from lunch ready for the 2nd part of class - the entire class was seated already and of course she wasn't in class yet. I proceed to annouce as I walked in the door "Where is that fat bit$h?" thinking that a rude comment would help me earn some graces from my classmates. Instead, their look of pure horror told me she was right smack behind me, which she was. I wanted to die.

Now I'll have to think about someone else's to top that booger story. ROTF! And in terms of any job at WDW - I'd take a Cast Member role at the Haunted Mansion any day!

My most embarrassing moment? Hummm, there are so many. I guess it would be the time when I was dating DH and we went out to dinner with friends to a very che-che restaurant. We were all dressed up and as we were walking down the stairs, yep you guessed it I slip and fall down the stairs all the way to the bottom. DH and friends just walked right by me like they didn't even know me. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Needless to say DH and friends have never let me forget about it.

My perfect job at WDW? Driving the monorail of course. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Oh boy, my most embarrassing moment was recently.
This spring, my friend Cindy's Mom died after a lengthy illness. I called her to express sympathy and asked when the viewing was. She told me Monday, gave me the time and the funeral home. I knew her Mom was named Margaret, but did not know her Mom's last name. I double checked the paper Monday morning, and sure enough, Margaret was having her viewing at 10 AM at the Reed Funeral home. So off I went. I got there, parked, went in a little late due to traffic. Hmm...no Cindy, no Bob (DH), no Jennifer(DD), etc. I was already seated inside and didn't want to disturb the service, so I waited, paid my respects and left. In her sadness, Cindy had gotten the days mixed up, and her Mom was laid out on Tuesday. And what are the chances of two Margarets one right after the other? Unfortunately, I couldn't make Tuesday due to work, but I called Cindy Tuesday night and told her what happened. She said the lady at the funeral home remembered me because I looked so confused. We still laugh over that one. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

My dream job would be to drive one of the little boats that patrol around Seven Seas lagoon. DH wants to drive the monorail, too! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

**DebiDebiDebi** · 12-31-2001, 09:07 AM

Well, I am grateful to say I don't have any cringinly embarrassing stories, although I did spill water all over DH on our second date...not a biggie, but, in the dating world, that was cingible.
As for dream job, and money is no object, eh? Well, DH has told everyone for years, that if Ed McMahon or the Prize Patrol ever show up at our house, he is going to quit his current job, and sell balloons on Main Street! Me? I would love to rattle off that campy banter on a Jungle Cruise Ship.

Most embarassing moment? Gee, let me choose. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Okay, DH and I were newleyweds living in a 3rd floor apartment. We shared a 1982 silver Chevette. I would drive home from work and DH would then take the car to his night job. One Friday night I had just arrived home and was waiting for a girlfriend to pick me up for a girls night out. All of a sudden I realized that DH had the checkbook -- and he had just left. I dashed out to try to catch him. As I ran around the corner of the building I noticed him just pulling out onto the street, heading the opposite direction. I ran into the middle of the street, started waving my arms, and yelling "Steve, I need the checkbook." Luckily, he saw me in the rearview mirror. The brakes screeched to a halt and he backed up so fast he almost hit me. "GET IT THE CAR!!" he yelled. I was so taken back by his angry response I became rather defensive. "I will not get in the car, just give me the checkbook." This exchange continued for a few moments. Finally, DH said "Do you realize what you have on?". Well, no I hadn't. I was standing there in my slip.

All of a sudden, getting in the car seemed a GOOD idea. But now, he was late for work so he handed me the check book and told me to hurry back inside. Well so far, no one had seen me, and I hoped to keep it that way. I ran to the side of the building and stood behind a 3' tall bush while I peeked around the corner. When the coast looked clear I made a run for it. But no sooner had I started, our 22-year old-stockbroker-hunk-neighbor flung the door open. The next 5 seconds were my life's most embarassing moments.

My initial response was to HIDE! so upon seeing him, I immediately turned to seek refuge behind the bush . . . but then quickly realized that would be silly since he already had seen me (and I didn't want him to think I was a flasher or anything), so I stopped, did an about face, and matter-of-factly blurted out "I am outside in my slip", and continued to walk, very assuredly I might add, back into my apartment.

Question #2. Hmmmm. Kilimanjaro Safari Driver? That's todays choice, anyway. I'm going in 11 days!!!!!!! I'll have a new choice when I return, I'm sure. And by the way, I'm leaving my slip at home.

Oh God TiggGrrl! Thank God there are not many people in the office today cause they would think I was losing my mind.

Okay let me think.... the most embarrasing momemnt......

Okay this may be kinda gross but looking back it is funny now. You know how your parents always told you if you had to go to the bathroom to just go and to not hold it. Well.... I was on my way to work and had parked about 4 blocks from my job. On my route I stopped at the college to use the MAC machine and although I had to go to the bathroom I figured I hold it the other 2 1/2 blocks. Now in the back of my mind I was thinking maybe I should walk back (less than a 1/2 block) to the college and use the bathroom there. But no "I can make it", right?

WRONG. I got to the job. Got on the elevator. Rode up to the 3rd floor. Got off the elevator. Proceeded to try to make it into the bathroom and of course you know what happened. Let's just say that I was cleaning underclothes, stockings, clothing and everything else. What made it so bad was that I did not have to do #1, I had to do #2. I ended up throwing out my underwear because I refused to wash them out. I washed out my stockings and had to wear them while they were still wet. Talk about embarrising. I also had to clean the toliet and the floor.

My dream job: a monorail driver.

DH & I talked about this when Survivor was on the other night. He couldn't think of a moment when I have been embarassed, because he doesn't think I get embarassed. HA! Some of my moments are just too gross to admit to here, (even more so than that booger thing)but I thought of one thats ok to be in print.
When my DH went to work for a national furniture rental center, his new boss took us and all of the other employees & spouses to a local comedy club. I had a HUGE frozen banana drink thing and the table we were at was very tippy. Well, the boss got up to get another round of drinks, hit the table and dumped the HUGE banana frozen thing, a pitcher of beer and several other glasses of liquid on my lap. Since I was closest to the stage, the comedian made an instant scene! As if a wet, sticky spot the size of Texas on my lap wasn't enough, I now became the center of his stand up routine. To make matters worse, at the end of his show he asked for a volunteer & guess who he dragged up on stage? Now I was front & center for everyone to see. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
As for a job at WDW, no question, an Imagineer. That would be too cool.

I can't believe that I'm actually going to tell anyone this but here goes...My DH and I were just dating and watching a movie at my house, he laying at one end of the couch and me the other. We started kinda wresteling and we both ended up w/our feet pushing together, both of us on our backs w/knees bent. I was REALLY straining trying to push his feet back when...... have you guessed? Well....yes, I "passed gas"! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] And yes, loudly, not at all lady like!! [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] That was 15 yrs ago and he still reminds me of that! Not quite as funny as the Booger story though!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Now I've got to tell one on my DH (makes me feel a little better!) Not to long ago we were eating out with my best friend from high school and DH bends down to feel of his lower leg and say's "what in the world is that?!?" He realizes that it's a pair of his underwear is in his pants leg! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] He couldn't go to the bathroom (where would he have put the drawers!?) So, he goes to the truck and get's inside, that doesn't work either (he's too tall) so, he has to stand beside his truck w/the door open and pants unzipped and DIG his extra underwear out of his pants [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] We were laughing so hard by the time he got back inside that everyone thought WE were the one w/the problem!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] O.K....now yall are my VERY best friends!

TiggGrrrl · 01-01-2002, 12:40 AM

Gee do I have to pick just one?! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Okay then...I was in 11th grade and in the world's most boring class and my friends popped up outside the door (our school had free periods so you could be in class while your friends were on free time) and motioned me to come out. So I figure I'll quietly get up and head out the door without anyone noticing. As was the case in many moments in my life...it seemed like a good idea at the time. I got up and made my way towards the door and somehow my foot ended up in the garbage pail (remember those little green metal pails?) and I slid across the front of the room in it with my arm sliding along the chalk tray at the bottom of the blackboard [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Now, not only am I caught, but I've embarassed myself beyond belief! I'm still not sure how it all happened...

As for my dream WDW job? I'd also like to drive the monorail [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Peace, love & ºoº

I am literally laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my face. I just thought of another classic moment (at a a coworker's expense.)

Vickie, a coworker of mine at Duke is a rather large lady with the most insane personality. She's well known by alot of the staff and well, if you worked with her you pretty much spent your day trying not to pee in your pants from laughing at her jokes/comments/life events.

Well, one afternoon she and I had to go over to the lab at Duke South Hospital which was connected via walkway or rapid transit. We decided to take the tram since it was rather chilly out that day so we stood in line with everyone else, and when our turns came, we got on with the crowd. Now, this train was FULL of people and I'm not sure who did it but someone passed gas and as the scent waifed over the crowd it looked like some Pepe Lepew cartoon LOL! You could see the change in everyone expression as they realized what had happened. So, there we were about to suffocate and I'm laughing uncontrollably.

By the time we made it to Duke South, I've gathered my composure and we got off in the lobby and proceeded to walk toward the greeting desk that sits near the PRT stop..Vickie is on my right nearest the desk with her coat slung over her arm. Right behind her was this guy that was basically on her heels when her coat snagged the corner of the greeting desk and slingshots her backwards into this guy....he literally doubles over and says "OOooo." Well,after having recovered from the first laughing fit, I just totally lost it again and Vickie's response just made it worse. Vickie just turned around looked at him and says "That ought to teach you not to follow a fat girl." Here we are in the lobby, me doubled over laughing, tears streaming down my face and my legs crossed trying not to pee. Vickie, I thought was going to pass out because she was in that laughing phase where she was gasping for breath and this guy just shook his head as he walked away rubbing his stomach LOL!

OMG!! OMG!! I am CRYING as I read these - speaking of flatulence and peeing, I may have an embarrassing moment right here at the computer b/c I'm laughing so hard!!! They are SOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! Anyway, I cannot - CANNOT - believe I didn't remember this when I was pondering over OTHER'S embarrassing moments - it was with my wife!!!

We were at Water Country USA in Williamsburg 3 summers ago and my wife had a two piece swimsuit on. The top was strapless that had a clasp in the back. We were in the wave pool with the kids - my youngest was just a little over a year at the time and she was just about to get out of the wave pool when somehow that clasp in the back came loose and off came her top like a slingshot!! She couldn't reach down to cover herself as she was taking care of Josh and if she dropped him - well let's say it would have involved life guards. She covered herself with the baby while I retrieved her top - all while trying to take care of the older two kids and divert the waves - I laughed SOOOO hard and she was really PO'd at me, but I tell you it was just hysterical - I'm laughing now as I type this!! ROTF! So there ya go! Ain't life grand?!? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Gee I dont know if I can top any of yours! But happy to see that we all make mistakes and can laugh at them now that is done and in the past.
My most embarrasing moment? On my wedding day, my DH and I are ready to exchange our vows and the pastor says.."Now repeat after me...I Ernest..." I look at the pastor and tell him that his name is Thomas not Ernest! Well he didnt hear me and repeats it again and louder! "I ERNEST..." Well by this time I am laughing and crying at the same time for I cant believe that this is happening! MY Thomas did correct him again and after it was all done and over with, people were coming up to us congratulating Ernest and Kimberlee! Geesh! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

What would I like to do as a job? One of the dancers that perform in the shows like Beauty and the Beast! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
