Non cycling embarrassing moments !

[Brandane]

One Saturday morning in the mid 70s I was in town with a few of my fellow acne infested, hormone raging teenage pals. One of them decided he was going into the local Chemist to buy a can of deodorant so that he could smell nice for the girls. He came out of the chemist with the deodorant in a bag, so of course we all were curious to see what brand he had got. Brut? Right Guard? Neither; he produced a can of Fem-Fresh from the bag! How we laughed (once we worked out what it was actually for); as did the girls in the Chemist shop, no doubt.

I used my keys so as to focus the camera in my wifi bird box. Forgot they were there, screwed on the front panel some time later and spent an afternoon hunting for my keys till the light shone on my addled brain.
Senile old fool!

I'm not sure it's wise to set you off on this particular thread topic.No one else will get a look-in.

When I was a nipper...

My neighbour was painting his cars front wing as it had gone rusty.

"Why aren't you painting it the same colour as the rest of the car?" I asked

"This is just an undercoat. I will spray it the nice colour later" He replied.

A few days later he was painting his front door...

"Ewww! That colour is horrible. It will look better when the top coat in on!" I said, wanting to demonstrate my new knowledge of paints.

"Errr...hmmm...yeah..." he replied.

Yup, that "horrible colour" was the top coat!

Went to stand up to leave the train a while back,as i was about halfway stood up an unexpected loud parp emanated from my behind Couldn't get off the train quick enough!

So that's why bus drivers get a separate space just for themselves!

When in my youth I was night fishing. In the morning I needed a dump, so went behind some bushes and done the deed. Got up and adjusted myself and clothing. Turned round... to see an old chap in a garden leaning on a spade or broom looking at me. 'you quite finished?' were his only words.

First time I made love was in a public space, we thought it was pretty secluded.... It finished with almost exactly the same words

Many moons ago, as a very young apprentice with BT, I had to go to their training centre at Stone, Staffs. It was my first journey to Stone, in fact possibly my first solo trip away from home, and I guess I was a bit stressed and distracted by the experience. I was travelling by train, in an old fashioned carriage with doors along both sides. As we pulled into Stone station I stood up, grabbed my bag and started to turn the nearest door handle. I vaguely heard a small voice beside me say, ‘It’s the other side’, but I wasn’t paying attention. I continued to turn the handle and the voice, with much greater urgency now, said ‘IT’S THE OTHER SIDE!!!’ It was at this point I realised I was about to plummet onto the north bound tracks, rather than step onto the platform on the other, correct, side of the carriage. I slunk off safely, but burning with embarrassment.


It occurred to me later that there may have been some sort of mechanical lock-out to protect idiot Darwin Award aspirants but, then again, maybe not.

When I was a teenager we went to France on the Dover-Calais ferry. When you get to the Calais docking, you're allowed to start your engines which my Dad did as we all sat in the car.
We were sitting there for a few minutes and I noticed that for some reason Dad was revving the engine really hard. But it was noisy with all the car engines and he didn't hear it and we had no rev counter in those days.
He ended up revving it so hard the engine cut out. With hundreds of cars behind us all ready to set off on their holiday. We ended up getting towed off the ferry by a tractor in full view of all the folk waiting frustratedly to get off the ferry

Giving a lift of shame to the guitarist I had taken home with me the night before, he lived in the sticks and, realising I had taken a wrong turn and was a bit lost, drove into the nearest driveway to turn back, which would have been fine, if the driveway wasn't a steep slope and my car hadn't got stuck in the chuckies. Luckily the home owner had a tractor... That day is still probably my worst hangover ever. Didn't see the bloke again either!

At a house party when I was younger. I'd been getting on famously all evening with a girl. The room was crowded and dark because we were watching someone perform a comedy skit. I reached out and started holding her hand. As the lights came back on the girl walked off, and the bloke with a beard whose hand I'd been holding just looked at me and smiled.

I ripped the antlers off a baby reindeer once, I was young enough to go to Father Christmas displays and such, finished telling Father Christmas what I wanted for Christmas, then promptly tore the antlers off the reindeer that were supposed to be real...

i went to the dentist a long time ago and had some work done that included an injection .now i thought i a had a top lip that felt fat because of the injection so after treatment merrily walked home though town smiling at people and getting some pretty strange looks back . i even bumped into a really hot girl i fancied and tried looking really cool while chatting her up . when i got home mother kindly got me a mirror to show me that my top lip was bigger than it felt and was in fact touching my nose . never got the girl .
