and a car pulled up in front of the house, ( I was sitting on the porch ) and I ran down and tried to open the door as the people in the car stared at me in horror, I couldnt figure out why they wouldnt unlock the door and I just kept yanking on it then I realized it wasnt them and just ran back in the house and me an my sister laughed hysterically.

I suffer from chronic foot in mouth disease. I have many examples of saying things like:
"Wow, what a bummer!" To someone with hemorroids.
Or the time I was at a client's house and saw their dog hiding in the hall closet. He came out to visit me and I said " Oh, you've come out of the closet!" In front of a group of non heterosexuals.

Just curious! I can tell you one that springs to mind. I was at the mall, and I thought I saw someone I knew. So, I ran up behind this person, covered their eyes, and said "Guess Who?" Well, I was shocked to find out that it wasn't who i thought it was, and I crawled under a rock after many apologies!! My ears were so instantly hot and my face so red!! I doubt I will ever be that embarassed again! Lesson learned!! LOL!!!
Anyone else??

Odd that you would relate that particular story Sandy as I had a very similar experience about twenty years ago in the original Galleria mall here in Houston, Texas. But I remember it clearly and yes, it was very embarrassing.
I was shopping for a special gift for my girlfriend during lunch hour (my office was just a short ways north of there at the time). She was a gorgeous, young local model / actress with long dark hair and a bit on the petite side. Her talent agency was also nearby and she often shopped at the Galleria too. Well, as I was leaving one of the stores, (still empty-handed), I saw what I swore was her riding one of the long, open air escalators up from the lower level to mine. So I dashed around the corner just as she stepped off, put my arms around her and said something silly like "Hi sweetheart, what are you doing here?".
That would have been fine IF she had been my girlfirend but she wasn't. The very alarmed young lady - weaing designer shades and casual cloths - who turned around in my arms and almost took my head off was a rather famous actress (whose name I really shouldn't post on a public forum). She was evidently in town on a publicity tour for her new film and she was none too happy about my advances. She was staying in one of the attached luxury hotels and all she wanted to do was to shop for a few things incognito without all the usual crush of fans.
Of course, I recognized her immediately and quickly let her go, apologizing profusely. I also explained that she could pass as my girlfiend's twin given the setting, timing, the sunglasses and the way she was dressed. What was nice is that she never completely lost her cool and she actually kind of smiled, said it was probaby an honest mistake and forgave me. Then she scurried off to finish shopping and I never saw her again. I did tell my girlfriend about it though and being such a trusting person, she wasn't the least bit upset. Actually, she was more than a little flattered since she loved the actress and thought she was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood at the time.
Cheers, Terry

Helen, that was funny!!! Almost the same thing!!
Colpet, Hi! thanks, nice to be here!!!!
I thought of another, well, my hubby reminded me of one!
While we dating, it was winter, and we wanted to go out for Ice Cream ( Friendly's )so we get out of the car, and we are walking and talking. Suddenly, I slipped on the ice and fell on my butt! He just kept walking and talking until he realized he was alone! He turns around and sees me cracking up laughing, and he's cracking up laughing... finally he helps me up, and everyone watching through the window was laughing! You would think I would want to turn around and go somewhere else, but this was Friendly's ice cream we are talking about!! So, I had my Reeses peanutbutter cup sundae and all was well with the world again! LOL!!!
I'd love to hear more!!

I was standing watching the the kids racing and talking to my husband and one of the other fathers. On glancing down I found my bikini top which tied around the neck had sort of come adrift! There I was chatting on and on with one boob on display for all to see! Boy, was my face red - and it wasn't with sunburn either! I proceeded to apologise, my husband just snorted and sniggered and the other guy said "Oh don't apologise, I was just enjoying the view!"

Don't feel bad! Lot's of people have "dings" and dents in their cars from past accidents! I'm sure lots of people had fender benders of some kind at some time in their lives!
Listen to this,
My hubby told me that when he was a kid, ON THE WAY to his road test, he hit a road worker!! LOL!! He said even the cop was laughing about it! Luckily, he was only going a few miles per hour, and the cop said he could go to his road test and take it! Talk about pressure!! But he passed!!
So, nothing could be as bad as all that!!

Was this one of those ones where you bumped the car in front and then when backing up from it, you hit the car behind you?
The future ain't what it used to be!

Oh Gawd Jo! Hahahaha, that reminded me, one time a friend was teaching me to wind surf and the beach was loaded with surfers and there I was thinking how Im doin so good and look down to see one of my boobs had popped out of my bikini, I jumped right off and fixed it, I know a few saw but of course nobody mentioned it, but yours is so funny cuz you were aware that they were aware and said something about it, and then for the guy to say he was enjoying the view!!LOL!!!

It's really hard to stop that, ya know.
I didn't realize that I had a rip in the crotch of some shorts I was wearing once and my brother had to tell me that I was hanging scrotum. Luckily, I was still just a kid and was just we boys out at the swimmin' hole. But still...
I have said and done some really truly embarrassing things and I think I blocked them out!

Which reminds me .... and nothing to do with Mark's ''single'' and ''one time'' incident ... Why is it that guys are forever fixing and rearranging themselves AFTER they leave the restroom (WC)?
