    My first waxing experience was Home Waxing À La Sharon! We were living at North Beverly Drive and I was fourteen. My mum was standing in the middle of her bedroom, with this little pot that looked like it was bubbling. In her hand she was holding a plastic spatula. She said, ‘Just lie down on your back for a minute.’ She straddled herself across my stomach then proceeded to dip the spatula into the wax and smear it on my top lip. I screamed out in pain and my head involuntarily jerked up. My mum had heated the wax for too long and at too high a temperature. I was lying back in absolute agony with a lump of congealed yellow wax sitting on my lip. Mum was laughing so much, she wasn’t concentrating, so when she finally got round to ripping off the wax it had stuck solid. After some small tugs at the corners, she did eventually pull it off. But half of my skin from my top lip went with it. I can’t tell you how painful it was. It was agony. I walked over to the mirror and I had the biggest reddest mark ever on my top lip. I could hear my mum’s distinct laugh in the background. As the days went on, the scab grew. In the end, I was walking around school with the nastiest, biggest scab you’ve ever seen sitting under my nose. I now get my moustache waxed, even though it’s what you’d call a ‘milk moustache’. I don’t want to be standing with someone and it catches the light and someone goes, ‘Oh, look at Kelly’s glistening blonde hair on her top lip.’

    When I was ten, I was really really really obsessed with the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys...but all my school friends were kind of growing out of that phase cos that was around the time the Spice Girls were breaking up and kind of "going out of style". So, I didn't really mention to my friends that I still blasted "Wannabe" in my bedroom cos it just wasn't "cool" anymore...at my tenth birthday party, I had a lot of other kids there, most were my friends or cousins, and some were kids whose parents were friends with my mother...We were all sitting at the table eating hotdogs my parents had made for us when out of nowhere my dad breaks into song and dance...singing what else but the song that was on constant replay in my cd player..."Wannabe" by the Spice Girls....dancing like a retard all around the kitchen, hotdog ketchup bottle "microphone" in hand...my cousins laughed, my friends looked at me and sniggered, and the kids I didn't know stared, bewildered....and I could have crawled into a hole and died...I'm twenty now, so I can laugh about it, but then, it was awful...not as bad as most embarassing stories go, but at that age, in that situation, it was a pretty big deal to me...

    I was twelve (I apparently look older) and we were in Yarmouth and there was an airbrush tattoo thing, so I decided to get one. It said Queen Bee - I have no idea why I decided to get that one. We then walked into this store and there was this man who was around nineteen, he works there and he's standing there waiting for people to buy stuff and he looks at me. So I just smile and then he goes
    "Is that a real tattoo?"
    My cheeks went bright red and my mum went and made it worse by saying
    "Yeah it is darling why?"
    I was that embarressed I went dizzy.

    About a year ago I was at a show, and I got a little drunk. I ran into a guy I had a major crush on in high school, but who I had presumed to be straight. I didn't see him for five years, and after running into him we walked around and talked and I asked him, and he shut me down. That part isn't embarrassing; that's life, and totally acceptable and people need that deflection to build up a skin. The embarrassing bit comes two hours later when I had had too many drinks and accidentally said into the band's open mic that I thought said guy was the jam and I really liked him.

    I basically died, and am now a ghost.

    I have a good one from today,

    I was wearing a dress to uni today and I parked my car, put my backpack on and started walking to my building, and while walking I guess my dress road up into my backpack and I managed to flash my ass to half of the campus on the way. Oh and my bare ass was out too because my underwear road up into my crack as well. FML.

    This was really bad... We live in Boystown in Chicago and I was walking down my street with my young daughter, when two bicyclists rode by very slowly. One looked just like Adam Lambert (not unusual for the hood) and I couldn't help but blurt it out.. "Hey, You look just like Adam Lambert!"... then the one who didn't look like Adam Lambert responded "really?". I wondered why he thought I was talking about him when his friend so obviously resembled Mr. Lambert, unless.... then my daughter confirmed my sudden realization.... "Mom, I think that was a girl."

    I loved the country singing duo the Judds. I got a chance to meet Namoi Judd at a book signing in KY. when I was on a vacation. I waited in line for a really long time. My Younger sister had the nerve to go over to the front of the line and act like she was in charge and told them I needed to come to the front of the line because I drove all the way from Florida for this book signing ( couldn't believe that worked but it did). I was excited to finally meet this wonderfull Idol of mine and I froze. All I could say was " I, I, I drove from florida". I wanted to die. Than years later to make matters worse I was at a wynonna concert and my sister managed to make her way up to the stage with flowers I brought for wynonna and chickened out and she not only got to give them to her , but wynonna stopped the concert to take a picture with her! I was furious for years than I ened up getting 3rd row seats at another concert years later I sat there with my mother and I agonized with my self to finally have the nerve to put my self out there and so i did and what comes out of my mouth as i ran to the stage to shake her hand.. " you once stopped a concert to shake my sisters hand and take a picture and I have never forgiven her for it so I needed to tell you your great" How embarassing she must think I am the biggest Goob!

    I am an older guy and old fan of Ozzy. I live in Istanbul (though American) and ride a motorcycle which I park next to the front door of the building I live in. One morning I was getting on the bike (and the street is fairly dead at this time), had put my helmet on, key in the ignition, and had just put on my gloves getting ready to start it up, but first ripped out this loud fart!! Then I reached down to turn the ignition and looked up and there was one of my neighbors....older Turkish lady....opening the front door just 2 feet away with this HUGE grin on her face! If she had been able to see my face behind the helmet I am sure it would have been bright red. As I drove off I laughed to myself about it knowing I will pass this lady on a weekly sometimes daily basis and she won't be able to forget OLE WINDY, a true ambassador from the USA!! have a great day!

    Well, it was a normal day walking into school (aka my hellhole) and after all these years I still don't remember that you supposed to PULL the door. So I'm not in a great mood and I sort of just throw myself at the door. And the next thing I know I swing back & fall on my ass and everyone looking at me like ''Nice move''. And oddly enough I start laughing! And thats not all. After I PULLED the door open, I was going up the stairs, and I fell up them. And by this point I'm just sitting on the stairs in tears laughing harder than ever. And people are going up&down them looking at me, some laughing, some giving me weird looks.
    But overall, it was hilarious!

    Okay, so one day in science when I was in grade 9, we had to plant bean plants. There was 32 of us in that class and we were all in the science lab at school. When we were done filling the pots, putting the beans in the soil and watering them, one at a time we had to walk up front and bring up our pot so the teacher could put our names on them. Anyways, there was this big cabnet, taller than me that was up against the wall and it was painted to same darn color as the wall. When the teacher called my name to go up, I stood up and started to walk up and when I did, I slammed right into the side of that asshole cabnet as if I was blind, I fell down, the dirt, more like mud at that point because it had been watered was all over my shirt (haha, I was wearing my Ozzy Osbourne shirt at the time) and in my hair. I was just sitting there like thinking OMG and then the teacher was like "Megan, are you alright?" ... I felt soo embarassed sitting htere with everyoine looking at me and dirt all over me and in my hair.

    I was sitting with a friend at a table eating vanilla pudding. I was trying to make her laugh and was doing very well. all of the sudden, i said something that made her laugh so hard she thrusted pudding out of both her nostrils. Needless to say I ended up dating her for a long time

    The evening before I started secondary school, my mum decided that she was going to cut my fringe. Needless to say it was a disaster! She spent half an hour snipping away at my hair due to its sheer thickness, while constantly complaining that I was fidgiting too much. Anyway once she had finally finished, I went to the bathroom to look. On the way up the stairs i could hear her sniggering. It was only upon looking at my reflection that i could see why.... She had taken half of each eyebrow off!! I was mortified, to say the least and had to go to school wearing eyebrow pencil for 2 weeks!! 15 years on and I still refuse to have a fringe, incase of a repeat of this atrosity.

    Ok, so I am simply the queen of sticking my foot in my mouth. For example one time I was talking about how much my bosses horrid mother offended me and then realized he was standing in the doorway. Several other times I have slipped and said stupid things at totally stupid times. But one awful slip of the tongue will forever haunt me.

    I was a youth leader for a small church, one day during his highschool football game one of the young boys had been playing and inexplicably died on the field. He was kept alive on machines for a week or so while all the kids in our group prayed for a miracle but we all knew he was gone.
    SOOOO about two weeks after his funeral his mother and two brothers ventured out for the first time to have dinner with all of us in celebration of the youth pastor's birthday. we ate and generally had a good time and his mother even smiled a few times. After dinner was over, feeling like the night was quite a sucesess, I walked with the mother from the retaurant. Her two sons opened the doors for us and I said to her "Your boys are such gentlemen." She smiled. "Last of a dying breed!" I added.
    Silence.
    Crickets.
    The oldest brother may have snickered.
    My face fell and I groaned and walked to my car. I don't think she ever spoke to me again beyond a quick hello now and again.

    AWFUL

    I've had a few really embarasing moments in my life, but the worst would probably be when my mom had to come to my school for a parent teacher confrence, and while I was leaving she made me stop so she could tie my shoe. In front of my crush.

    I'm a 60 year old granny, young at heart, and we had those "moments" even when I was young, around 11 or 12. I was idly sitting around daydreaming, cutting pics out of some Hollywood magazine. I must have been terribly entralled with Elvis, Rick Nelson, Sandra Dee, or whoever. Apparently I was in some kind of a celebrity "zone", and next thing I knew, I had snipped off my eyebrows!!! Just tiny stubs left--my Mom had a complete hissy fit, as would be expected. It was summer break, so no awful school embarrassment; however I was about to get on a plane the next day, to visit relatives out of state, & planned on being very sophisticated. Ha, there I was with my obviously awful penciled eyebrows, wearing sunglasses and a scarf over my hair, trying to look Hollywood. I fooled no one.

    I am 31 and a huge klutz. I've definitely had my share of embarrassing moments, however to this day my most embarrassing moment was in the fifth grade (mid 1980's). I was a bit of an outcast because I wore concert tees of rock bands and jeans when all the other girls were 'preppy'. I hit my growth spirt early on as well, so I was taller than everyone else (especially the boys) and had tits. So one day we are all lined up at the class door waiting for the bell to ring so we could go home, when everyone started laughing at me. I turned around and the boy I had a major crush on had snuck into my backpack and pulled out a maxi-pad! I had only just started my FIRST EVER period a few days before so was already mortified in general. The kids in my class opened the little package and tossed the pad around as I just stood there dying! When I got home I told my mom I couldn't go back to school the next day. At that age, I don't think there was anything that could have been more embarrassing. My mom gave me some very good advice... She said if I didn't go to school the next day then they would all know they got to me, but if I did show up and act like it was no big deal then the whole situation would blow over like nothing ever happened. As mortified as I was, I went to school the next day and no one said anything. Well no one except the boy I had the crush on that started it all. He tried to make a bit of a joke about it and I did what my mom said and acted like it was no big deal. Needless to say I no longer had a crush on that boy, and I was officially the most mature girl in class.

    My most embarassing moment was not to long ago! I am a heavy girl so this was horrible. One day myself, my boyfriend , and his friend were sitting in the living room watching t.v. and chatting. I had a laundry basket in the living room floor with laundry that needed to be folded. My boyfriend leans over amd pulls out a pair of panties and says good god whoes are these? Of course they were mine, I jumped up and snatched them from him and was mortified! Good thing they were black and noy bright pink!Thank God I can laugh things off he kept apologizing forever, I forgave him and we are still together today!

    I was 13 years old. Just at the perfect age to be extremely self conscience about those extra 30 pounds I was carrying around. I LOVED Marilyn Monroe, as I still do... She was the ultimate beauty, everything I wanted to be. So I decided to enter a singing contest, impersonating my idol Marilyn Monroe... I went through months of finding the exact "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" dress, and finding the perfect Marilyn wig, practicing achieving the perfect Marilyn Make up and trying my best to imitate that very unique singing voice of hers...
    It was the big night, I had put hours of practice into this, getting her movements down to an art form... I was ready. I got out on that stage, and I WAS Marilyn. I was making one of the best memories of my life second my second of my performance... People were LOVING it! Finally the song was almost over, and as I belted out the last note, the audience stood to their feet... I was so proud of myself. I felt like a million dollars... I bent over and took two or three big bows, and waved as I left the stage... As I walked off to the backstage area, one of the stage hands, who was male by the way, started making all these crazy motions and faces... I walked over and said, what is wrong with you? He said YOUR DRESS!!! I looked down, and with one of my bows, I had bent down, so had my strapless gown, but when I stood back up, the dress didn't, and I didn't notice until I walked off stage... :-{ The stage hand said, "Giiiirl, don't you HATE when that happens?", as if he had the same thing happen to him a few times... I naturally cried out of embarrassment. Then was OVER JOYED to find out, that the contests video camera had broke down right before my performance... So at least my embarrassing moment didn't go home with thousands of people...
    The best part is later that night, I won FIRST place in my category, and who knows... Maybe that little extra part of the show helped ;)... lol

    I have MANY embarrassing moments, but one that I think is the funniest is when I was about ten years old. I was taking swimming lessons again, at an outdoor pool. I was very familiar with this pool, so why I did what I did, I have no idea. After lessons were over, my friends and I were headed for the locker rooms. For some idiotic reason, that I still don't understand, I said goodbye to my girlfriends and walked into the boys locker room. The doorway and a floor to ceiling pole with bars going across, so kids couldn't run in and out. Unfortunately, I didn't realize where I was until I had passed through that horrible gate. I began crying immediately, standing against the gate like a true dumb blonde, not knowing what to do. One of the lifeguards gently took my arm and had to guide me through the entire boys' locker room to get me outside. Boys were yelling, "There's a GIRL in the locker room!" What made matters worse, was that after making a run for my mom's car, I noticed a stranger in the front seat with her. I had never seen the lady before, but both of them were laughing up a storm, with my little sister asking very boldly, WHY was I coming out of the boys' locker room?

    I had a HUGE crush on this guy named Steven in the 6th grade. Everyone was hanging out in the classroom. I decided to impress him by jumping over a chair. I was pretty heavy back then. Anyway, I ALMOST managed to jump over, but my right foot got stuck on the back piece of the chair and I fell onto the ground. My face hit the floor and my butt was up in the air! Steven looked at the scene and was so embarrassed FOR me. Now I know why I never liked him after that, he wasn't even a gentleman to help me up because all he did was laugh!

    I was 7 years old and I was at a church camp. It was pretty late at night, lights were out and all the girls in the dorm were in bed. This was my first year at any camp and I wasn't use to it. I missed my mom so much. I had a dream about me and my mom, I was all cuddled up behind her mumbling, "mmmommy mmmomy", in my sleep. Only to be awoken by "Hannah, Get outta my bed, I am NOT your momma!"
    Imagine my embarassment when I crawled out of my now freaked out/annoyed friend's bed who I apparently slept walked over to and cuddled up to by mistake. What a great way to be woken up! I walked a half-asleep slow paced walk of shame back to my own bed and huddled under my Winnie the Pooh blanket glad to be out of sight.
    I was embarrassed about it for years after every time I saw the girl, wondering whether she was thinking about it or not. She even jokingly said, "just stay outta my bed". Which didn't necessarily help my embarrassment vanish. Well, I'm in highschoool now and I got to summer camps every year (not thew same camp, but for a different reason) and thankfully,I have never slept walked since then.

    Ok, so one time as a little boy I was in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and forgot to lock the door. Now, my older brother is a rather boisterous, outgoing kind of guy so when he opened a door it flew open. Well my immediate reaction, purely out of instinct not even knowing who it was initially, was to kick him in the family jewels. I must have hit him good enough too because he doubled over against the upstairs balcony guardrail and nearly leaned too far. Then we both apologized to each other before going back to squabbling like a real-life Itchy and Scratchy.
