What is your most embarrassing moment?

Well, there was this time in junior high school when I was a student of music, age 12. I was studying the cello quite actively. I was eventually named first chair cellist for my school, and eventually the whole school district. Then, the tri-county area. Not to toot my own horn (no pun intended), but I was very good, and I took my studies very seriously. Well, one evening during a tri-county concert, I was playing a solo in the orchestra. My chair was front of stage, to the right. Well, I was putting my heart into playing my solo, and I was sounding great. But, I failed to notice that my chair was slowly edging towards the stairs behind me which led to the floor; about 5 wooden steps. The song was "Cherokee Chief" which was a favorite of mine. So, with each note I struck, the chair moved backward. Until.... on my final note.... the chair, me and my trusty cello and bow went backwards down the steps and to the floor below! :curse: There was a huge gasp from the audience as people came to my aid. I was ssssooo embarrassed that I actually cried. I wasn't physically hurt, but boy I was embarrassed!! LOL

I am glad I wasn't there to witness this... I am one who gasps at first and then rolls into uncontrollable laughter that cannot be stopped. I enjoyed your experience and sorry this happened to you, but I find it quite humorous in the way you told it!

Went on my break at work and ducked into the nearest taco bell..On the way out I stepped on a painted curb that was wet from the rain and *wing* 😱 both feet came out from under me and i was airborne. on the way down i was thinking about damage control and at the very least saving the bladder buster soda. as my ass my contact with concrete it caused my hand to squeeze And the coke erupted from the cup.Then came the nachos which broke open in my lap followed by the wave of soda and ice . Chaplin or buster keaton couldnt have written a better bit :lol: Oh and this all happened in front of huge picture window .Everyone in the dining room was laughing until i grabbed my cup to go back in for a refill . I ripped the door open and the laughter stopped ..it was like a scene from the old west everything went silent .. by the time i was done cleaning up and refilling the counter girl had a new container of nachos ready for me. I gave her much praise and slipped her a tip and slinked away as fast as possible :sulkoff: so it was embarrassing but at the same time it was kinda hysterical
