View Full Version : MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to share a story with you about our flight home.
Left Orlando last Sunday night. Plane was only a quarter occupied so hubby found himself a '4 seater' and laid out to sleep.
On my way back from the 'restroom' i saw him moving, so bent down and tucked his blanket around him, stroked his hair and face, gave him a kiss and said 'are you ok?' - to which an unfamiliar somewhat nervous voice replied 'yes thank you'. You've guessed it - that was NOT my hubby - he was in the row in front blissfully unaware. I ran back to my seat, slid down into it and pleaded with my mother to turn the light off. I later mentioned it to a stewardess who proceeded to tell the entire crew. They thought it hilarious, but i never went to the back of the plane again after that, and was too embarrassed to look anywhere other than ahead in the baggage claims hall.
Being a shy kind of person, i can't even think about the incident without cringing....
Back home now and all is well, wonder what HIS wife said.....

Oh dear Sheila, of course what would be really funny is if the mystery man was a OV Forum member and posted the other side of the story :D !!
That's brilliant Sheila - poor you, you must have been mortified, but I can understand the crew thinking it was hilarious - I keep chuckling to myself about it.:D

:D Bless! How embarassing though, bet you were glad to get off the flight!

Thats the sort of thing I would do Sheila and then Ray and my sons would laugh about it for ever more.:)
Lucky for the stranger that you are such a loving wife!
It could have been a lot worse.

Just curious, but did you sneak a look at this guy you kissed? Was he tall, dark and handsome like in the movies? More importantly, did he realise who his 'carer' (or perhaps I should say caresser?) was?

Imagine if he had kissed you back!!!!

gave me a great laugh.............sorry!!:D:D

oh Sheila, your story made me whince - oh poor you!
As a matter of fact, a quite similar thing happened to me once in Florida. Just came off the Earthquake ride and put my arm around my husband's and said "ooh, that scared me a bit". Yep, it wasn't my husband and his girlfriend/wife was on his other side of him and gave me the death stare - obviously!!
My husband was stood behind watching it all and burst out laughing.
Could I have turned any more redder??!
So I kind of know how you must have felt Sheila. [msnembarrased] But it is funny too! [msnsmile2]
ooh this brought back memories of one of my embarassing moments...
Just married and browsing currys for a TV, DH besdie me, walking along looking at bank of screens, I stop and sidle upto my DH put my hand in his trouser pocket were his hand was, make some comment about the tv in front of us all the while looking at the TV screen and yes it was a complete stranger!!!DH had wandered and was standing behind me laughing. I got my hand stuck in this mans pocket and almost ripped it off in my attempts to get away!!!!!!!!!!!He just looked totally bemused.
Second incident happened when I was 17 and taking my driving test, examiner sitting next to me but at an angleas we moved away I grabbed his leg instead of the gear stick. He just looked as if to say well even that wont get you a pass, and it didnt!!!!!!
Friend of mine had an incident where she worked for the GPO on switch board and travelled all the way home on the bus with her headset on, and connector dangling and couldnt undrestand why everyone was suddenly smiling at her!
Hi Everyone
Its really painful to recall, but NO sadly he was not tall, dark and handsome. I think it was the guy sat in front of us when we took off (we later moved seats for more legroom) and he was ......... no I wasnt brought up to be rude but definitely not a "hotty".
I'll just blame my hormones ........
Enjoyed reading the other stories, made my feel better, you people are sooo nice....... I like this forum........

Well, even if he was short, wide and balding, he could still have star potential...you know, like a 'Hale & Pace' type character. So, if not Hollywood, you could still end up a star yourself....on ITV. [:o)][:o)]

A lady friend once told me that there were only two types of men; First the kind that she would not like to meet in a dark alley and second, the kind that she would.... ;)
Now which kind is your man.....or shouldn't I ask?
Oh, this reminds me of an incident that I had during the snows of 2002! I was on a flight from Cologne to Stanstead, when we were told that Stanstead had shut, so we were diverted to Birmingham. Got to Brum, and sat on the plane for a couple of hours, waiting for Stanstead to open again. Stewardesses realised that our families would be worrying, so we were allowed to use our phones. Called hubby and explained that it was doubtful that we would be home, more likely that we would end up in a Brum hotel for the night. The guy sitting next to me had forgotten his mobile phone, and asked if he could use mine. I tried not to overhear, but he sounded really pleading with his wife........ Things like "Honestly, I really am stuck on a plane" etc. Finally he finished, and handed the phone back. About half an hour later, my phone rang, (we were still on the plane!) I answered it and a female voice just started hurling abuse at me, screaming about me having an affair with her husband!!! Well, it clicked, so I just handed the phone to the guy next to me and said - Your wife!!! Seems he had reason to plead with her!!

Pleased to hear you got back safely Sheila. Loved the anecdote. I bet your mother did some chuckling.
Are you missing Florida living as much as I suspect or just glad to be home????
Angela
To Nostromo
Probably the type of guy you DONT want to meet in a dark alley - or a dark plane for that matter !!!!! I have to say the poor gury sounded as mortified as i felt ......
Angela, good to hear from you, my mother was hysterical and by now the whole of the north of england have heard about it. As you can imagine, i hate being back home. I literally pine for Orlando and its sad really but i watch Fox News or log onto WESH to get my "fix", cant wait to get back there. How are you ? feeling as lonesome as me?
SheilaF
most of my embarrasing stories can`t be repeated in polite company[:I]but Iam very short-sighted, but don`t wear my glasses, while at the water parks every one who knows me always looks out for me and if they see me dithereing they shout and wave, last year at Typhoon Lagoon I was looking (squinting) for Keith in the water, I heard my name being shouted and a very blurred arm waving so started to wade out into the water. Decided it would be funny to jump on Keiths back and dunk him under well I`m sure you can all guess what happened needless to say the guy was a good sport about it and after he had removed me from around his shoulders carried playing with his real family.
Now I don`t go anywhere without a chaperone :D:D
I suppose you should be grateful that all you did was kiss him :D

three or four years ago we were at Wet n Wild with another family. it was the first time we had been there and although i am no water baby i do like to give the rides a good go. We thought that some of the rides were quite tame but our friends 16 year old son and i decided to give Der Stuker a go. From the ground it doesn't look too tall, but as you start going further up the circular ramp you begin to get the feeling that this might be a mistake. However macho pride and the fact that seven year olds were squeezing past, pushed us up to the top. You then have to launch yourself forward by pulling on a couple of bars and as you begin a very steep descent, cross your arms over your chest. All went well until i hit the run in at the bottom by which time i must have reached my terminal velocity. I was wearing shorts with a tight elastic waist and the water shot into my shorts, which expanded until they could take no more. they split completely up one seam and if it wasn't for the strength of the elastic holding it all together my embarassment would have been complete. As it was there was only about 250 watching and pointing as i held up my shorts and slunk away. so not too bad then.

Ouch John, that could have been really embarrasing.[msnembarrased]:D
John I feel for you. My most embarrasing moment was on the go kart track along the 192. I was going flat out round the track trying desperately to catch up with my son. I was almost on his tail when one of the officials stepped onto the track and wved me down. I was furious, thinking what have I done wrong, I haven't cut anybody up or such like. The poor guy looked really emabarrased and said "Sorry maam but I think you should know about your top". I looked down and cringed. I was wearing a boob tube and the vibrations from the engine had obviously caused the top to migrate south. Instead of the elastic sitting on top of my boobs it was sat underneath them and I had been doing a bit of illegal topless sunbathing[:I][:I]. My 2 children thought it was hilarious as did hubby and it took me a long time to live it down.

The split shorts and boob tube finished me off!!

Hi Sheila this is a moment I have shared with the group before but as there is so many new people now on the forum here goes again
I have had an umbilical hernia for 8 years YES 8
The hospital says that I am on the waiting list '3 years'
It has got so big that it looks like I have a bum bag permanently strapped to my stomach, it is so large I cant put the table down on planes to eat a meal and yes I have gone the whole 9 hours with not eating on a crowded flight.
But it also makes for some fun
I was travelling on AA last year and got to the check-in and there was a couple of security guys checking luggage on a few suspicious people
ME suspicious never
He called me over and said that he wanted me to open my case I duly agreed and placed my case on the table and waited for him to finish checking all contents
When he finished he looked at me and said "I need to see your strap bag" I said "My what!!!"
He said "the bum bag what’s in it"
Light goes on
"oh" I said "its my intestines"
"Your What"
"my intestines"
"I'm sorry sir I don’t understand"
I tell him the story
he looks at me - looks at bump - Looks at me
Pregnant pause and finally says
"sorry sir I have to see it"
"certainly I say"
I pulled up my shirt high over my Hernia so as he can see all, his mouth just drops his eyes grow as wide as golf balls and he says at the top of his voice
"s--t that’s unbelievable" then turns to the other guard and says in a loud voice "Gary look at this have you every seen anything like it"
At that I become painfully aware that all the people in the long and winding que had passed me by and are now in a position to see my hernia the gasps could have been heard in Orlando.
All through the flight I could feel the eyes looking at me each time I got up to use the toilet I could feel my stomach becoming the centre of the universe
Now that’s embarrassing
Funny side now seen or else I would not be sharing this with you
John Boy, have you made it to anywhere near the top of the list yet?? I do hope so.
What a great story, John Boy! Had my husband and I in stitches - oops, sorry, sore point, maybe!!!!:D:D:D

Gave up on the UK and thanks to Blott am having it done is Spain as I now live here they have said that a bed is available as and when I feel comfortable with having it done.
They will do it now but have advised on loosing 2 stone so as to cut down on possibility of complications during and after surgery.
Getting there with the help of family and friends, but very difficult when you are banned from exercising including walking for more than 20 mins at a time.
Good luck with the diet John Boy. I lost 3 stone (without exercising) a couple of years ago and felt so much better. I am now struggling to keep it off which is proving to be much harder. I recommend you join a club and get weighed weekly, that made a huge difference to me:)
You can do it John Boy - just think how much better you'll feel afterwards. Spain has a brilliant selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, salads, fish, etc which must help rather than the traditionally stodgy stuff we have in the UK.

Remember that song that went
Girls, I like them big I like them small so pretty so tall I like to get to know them all
Girls, I like the things they know, Love the things they show
Got to be where they go
Pretty girls with sunshine in their hair perfume everywhere
Girls are everywhere
Well that song made me realise at an early age that there is beauty in every woman
I keep saying that I will set up the Female Appreciation Society
but most men would not agree with the rules I would set
Anyway never judge a woman by the outside, my wife is testamant to that.

I have just seen this!
It was my wife that posted it and there is me thinking that she did not come on this site
The reason we left America and moved here to Spain is that she did not like living in Florida so I thought this would be the last place she would visit.
Will have to be very careful in future

Just come back from Florida.
Had dinner in Cinderellas Castle and didnt think the fireworks started till 9 but was wrong. We left at 7.55 to find we had been roped off at both back and front of castle. We were told to go through the main gate and was surprised to see the whole of main street full of thousands of people and as we walked through (there were 5 of us) there were many camera flashes. Its probably the closest well ever get to being mickey mouse.

On the second day of my first trip to Florida I was in Walgreen's by myself and the others were in the rental car waiting. I came out and got into the wrong car and said 'right that's us now for Mickey' - and I was being answered by 'hello, hello, hello' as I was putting on my seatbelt - the guy couldn't speak English other than 'hello' - I don't think I've ever got out of a car so quickly in my life!
