Anyone who knows me would definitely support the fact that I'm the "queen of clumsiness". On an average day, I manage to trip, fall and/or stumble over my words in some capacity leaving me red in the face mumbling these words to myself.

Take for instance today I was ordering food at this little cafe in my neighborhood -- standing there absolutely still. Somehow I lost my footing and managed to fall over knocking into the guy standing next to me. If that wasn't embarrassing enough (because again I was standing still) I knocked his soda out of his hand all over the floor and his $500+ shoes. I profusely apologized and reached for a napkin to clean it up. Being the graceful gal that I am then managed to whack my head against the counter while he stood looking at me in a mixture of both anger and pity. Needless to say, I was quite embarrassed and walked out (almost forgetting my food) asking myself "did that really just happen to me?"  The answer was yes. I've learned to embrace the embarrassing moments and just laugh at myself.

If you've ever had a "omg...did that really just happen to me?" moment then you can definitely relate so feel free to share the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you...

As a waitress I spilled about half a pitcher of ice tea on this table a bunch of business men were eating at. They were really cool and only one of them got a little dribble on their knee. I just about died of embarassment though.
I'm definitely not the most graceful person in the world and have tripped over my own two feet millions of times, I also have a bad habit of slipping on water or ice (I catch myself about 50% of the time). I have fallen down stairs infront of people (and alone lol). So yea, I feel you there.

If i had a nickel for every time ive managed to embarass the hell out of myself, id be a billionaire. I do it all the time, and have become accostume to it i guess. some call me ditzy or a klutz, but im just me, i laugh it off most of the time, but people catch me on certain things and i end up hiding in my office the rest of the day.But hey, thats just me. if you dont like me in all my 'retarded' glory, then you shouldnt be my friend or even be around me...at least thats what i tell myself. lol

i do this youth theater group and there are alot of relationships that go on in it so me and this guy started to date. after each performance there is an afterglow where everyone can just like unwind and be our teenage selfs.

and i was sitting with him and like my friend was like "LETS PLAY TRUTH!" and so i went along and when it was my turn to answer a question. So i got all giggly and started to blush because i was embarrassed. So i started to feel a bit sick and so i excused my self to the bathroom and my bf and bff followed and like was like "omg?! are you okay? are you gonna be sick?" and so there were these stairs and i turned around to say im fine and i tripped down like 5 stairs. and i brusied my cheek. then to make it worse i did get sick and i puked all over my bf. I got all red adn ran out side and like started to ball my eyes out. i was soooo embarrassed!

i know how you feel. i have also gained a reputation for being the more spaztic person on the planet. one time i was even explaining an embarrassing moment to one of my guy friends and he said "Why is it always YOU?" i have learned to really laugh hysterically at the things that i do. and my friends find it funny too so why not? it turns out for a good story such as:

one time i was in mcdonalds and the lock was broken. there was a top lock but i figured no one would go in the bathrooms and/or someone would at least have the common courtesy to knock. so im sitting there doing my business and just them...i hear the door start to squeak. and slowly someone is opening the door. now i am just watching wide eyed at this moment and think it best not to get up and try to cover myself too quick bc what if i am too slow? so before the person opens the door all the way so he could see me i scream "OH MY GOD!" and then he shuts the door abruptly. i hurry and get my pants back on all the while yelling and cursing. i open the door and everyones there just laughing at me. and what made it worse was i never hang out with this people and i kinda felt uncomfortable around them. but whatever. i found it funny. and it's a good story. and im over it.

I fall all the time, I step in the dog bowl, slide and land on my butt, I just don't look where Im going, Part of it is my illness, I have horrid balance issues, but maybe my hair gets in my face so I got it cut today, hopefully it gets better, but I know i have passed the time in my life for high heals, I just buy cute flats, I have 1 pair of high heel boots, and wear them for special occasions.

I am a terrible klutz and I have been for my entire life. My mom once held hope that I would grow out of my "awkward stage" but definitely beyond that idea now. But like other people put it..I really just laugh it off and honestly not an, "Ohh giggle look what I did" laugh. Nope. I have learned over the years to truly laugh at silly self. I've tripped, fell, said the wrong thing in pretty much every single way that you can. I used to think I was doomed w/ this ability when it came to dating until a few years ago I found someone who found my awkwardness/klutziness cute and attractive. But I'm still "special".

Yesterday I was even walking down the sidewalk, in the rain, when I attempted to display correct umbrella etiquite and move my umbrella out of the way of a passer by. Well I moved my umbrella, poked myself and another person in the head, turned to apologize, and tripped over my feet. Luckily I didn't face plant into the side walk but I did manage to stomp into a huge puddle. Just another day in my life!

the best way of dealing with those things is just laughing. see everyone has there embarissing moments! u can see them all on this page!! just remember, uve given people a laugh (sometimes), ull have a funny story to tell when your over the embarising bit and most of all everyone should understand we all have those moments.

As for me my moment was when me this guy and my best friend had just walked to my house. I was bare footed. When we arrived at my house my friends mother was there and took her home. my family was away so it was just me and the guy. i was on my mattress when my toe started to bleed. i got up and there was blood on the sheet. and i even thought it was my time of the month, even though i had just passed mine! I think he saw it, and i was so nervous i started to sing (i do this when i get embarrised, is weird i know) he thought i was weird, i could see it on his face. then i felt pain in my toe and realized the blood was coming from my toe. i went and got a band aid but by now he wanted to leave! i was so embarrised, he probs thought i was trying to blame the stain on my toe!! i got angry at him on msn after he left, but he said he left cause he was bored. i didnt know where he thought the blood had come from, but i was embarrised!
Im over it now and i think hes forgoten now anyway.
Now i just laugh and say ah well...all in a life time.

LOL POOR YOU!

Well i was 13 walking around the concrete courtyard of my middle school on a rainy afternoon surrounded by mingling teens who all stood under the pavillions waiting for their teachers to pick them up for lunch...when all of a sudden..my ankle gives out..and i smack face flat across the concrete...THE WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL LAUGHED AT ME. there must of been over 60 kids out there. It was so embarassing, not to mention painful! My ankle was swollen..and both my knees were bloody. Not cool. No one helped me...so it was sad.

I was once at a party and this guy asked me to dance with him. We spent most of the night dancing and talking, pretty much ignoring everyone else. He was funny, smart, and I loved how he spoke to me like he already knew me.
It was only near the end of the night that I worked out he thought I was another girl he had met at a different party. It took me another few minutes to work out that the other girl was actually my friend. I didn't know how to tell him that he'd made a mistake, I really liked him by that stage, but I knew I had to tell him the truth.
We were dancing when I finally got the courage to tell him that he'd made a mistake. I said it, but he didn't hear me because of the music. So I shouted it loudly. Wouldn't you know it, the music had to stop at that very moment. Everybody heard what I said. Even worse, the guy stopped in his tracks and just stared at me while turning red. Then he just turned and walked away without a word. The music came back on then but everyone was still staring at me. I just stood there with a dumb look on my face, until I realised that wasn't really helping my situation. I walked out of the party, trying to ignore all the looks I got as I walked by.
A few weeks later, my friend told me about this guy who tried to hook up with her at a party. He was disgusting and a complete jerk who was only trying to get laid. Imagine my relief when I found out that her guy and my guy were the same. We joke about it now, but at the time it was THE MOST embaressing thing that had ever happened to me.
