Something similar to that happened to me as well. I fell on my ear during school sports day's 100 metre final in front of the whole school.
Oh yes, When I was on holiday a few years ago we went to watch a hypnotist's stage show. It was the usual thing - getting people up on stage and getting them to do silly things. The hypnotist told one guy that he was gay and he had to pick out the best looking fella in the audience for a dirty dance. Guess who he picked! Me.

Oh yes, and I fell asleep in a toilet cubicle during a wedding reception once. I was a wee bit drunk.

Yeah, I did that in the middle of a restaurant. I'd been drinking while swimming all day. The alcohol didn't hit me until I stopped swimming and went out to eat with the friends I'd been swimming with. I don't remember whether it was literally in my plate, but I know it was at the table.

I've had a few sports related embarrassing moments as well. I'm shortsighted but I never wore glasses at school. My eyesight is terrible.
During one game of soccer for the school team we had just scored a goal and we were all making our way back down to the halfway line for the restart.
I shouted over to the scorer: 'Great goal, Franky!' It wasn't Franky who had scored. He wasn't even on the pitch. He was off sick. I got some stick for that.

It was dark. I'd left my glasses at home, and was waiting for a bus. I saw a large vehicle approaching the bus stop, and walked to the edge of the pavement beckoning it to stop. Only when it didn't (fortunately), and drove past did I realise it was a lorry, not a bus.

I have to agree with Moogle. That was embarrassing.

As another example of the name thing, in high school I had a friend who called me Mel for six months before he learned that that wan't my name. First or Last. Luckily, he was pretty embarrassed about it himself when he fonud out, so it didn't effect me too much.
Another wonderful embarrassing moment was also brought to me by high school. I was taking a computer science class with a group of guys that were all much older than I was. I knew that they were all pretty intelligent and interresting to talk to and I really wanted to get to know them. However, I was too scared to make contact. Then came my big chance. I had got ahead of the curriculum so the teacher had assigned me a project on graph theory. Once I had that done, he asked me to give a presentation to the class on it. I was thinking that here was my chance to show that I knew what I was doing. I worked really hard and came up with this killer presentation for the project. All I had to do was pull this off and I can hang out with the cool kids (or, the cooler nerds, anyway). Well, I'm about halfway through the presentation and everything is going well. Then, I drop the marker that I'm using. I try not to make a big deal out of it as I bend over to pick it back up. Well, in shifting my weight to get to the marker, I extend out one leg and kick over the trash can. The contents spill out onto the floor and the class erupts in laughter. Luckily, I maintain enough composure to make it through the rest of the presentation, but I never get up the courage to talk to any of them. Even after the class, one of them comes up to me and says that he really liked the lecture, but I just kind of smile and mumble something. The damage has been done.

oh i have sooo many stories. in the seventh grade i like this guy who was two years older than me and really popular and cute. one time me and my friends were all standing by our lockers talking when him and his friends started hanging out near us. i didnt know he was there. then one of my friends yelled REALLY loudly "lexi stop looking at dales butt!" i turned around cause i didnt think anyone was behind me, then he turned around and he thought i wa checking him out. i was SO embarassed!!! Once my friend (same one from the first story) asked me if i knew this girl and i said yeah, i went to school with her. apperently she misheard me (or just wanted to embarass me, im not sure), and she started saying (again, really loudly) "you screwed her, you screwed her?!" then this guy turns around and says "hey im not going to judge you". everyone at my school thought i was a lesbian for like two years. i have so many other stories, but i dont have time to write them down. ;D

HA! My whole LIFE is one big, fat embarrassing moment I think it has something to do with my anxiety/shyness, but I have a hard time forgetting those moments. I'll be sitting on the subway and suddenly remember a stupid thing I did or said to a guy I liked, and all those feelings of embarrassement flood back like it just happened. And since those moments never leave my memory, they make me even more afraid to assert myself or make myself vulnerable in some way. Sigh... it really sucks. ...but let's see if I have a good one to share (I already shared one in another thread)... Oh, this was very weird. I was looking for a charger for my cell phone. I went to an electronics store and the guy working there was very nice. He introduced himself to me and held out his hand. I reached for his hand but missed and somehow grabbed his thumb, rather than the palm of his hand like a normal person. This took him by surprise because not only did I grab his thumb with my whole hand, I HELD ON TO IT. So he tried to let go so we could do it again, but for some reason my body decided that I should continue holding onto and shaking his thumb, as if that would cover the mistake. So despite his attempt to retract and redo, I shook his thumb, as if it were perfectly normal. Oh, and on the first day at my internship at a big television station, I went around with my fly wide open the whole time! So I met all these anchors I had been watching my whole life, with my drawers out to greet them, too.

I have a wierd imagination and pretty sick sense of humor. I laugh at people when they fall down or do something stupid like that (if they aren't hurt of course). I also think of a lot of "What if" stories in my head where I notice somebody or something and think "what if <insert strange senerio here> were to happen", I usually can't hold back my laughter and when people ask me "what's so funny", I'm too embarassed to explain because it's usually such an off the wall idea. Oh my GOD, were we separated at birth?? I, however, am too evil to stifle my laughter even if someone does get hurt (a little).
