I remember one time walking home from the gym and i just happened to make eye-contact with a very lovely lady. Long story short i spent too much time giving her the googly eyes that i ran into an electrical box, tripped and ate shit in a very bad looking way. If anyone cares i was ok.
Most embarassing mistake while trying to look cool

On our way to a club we came across a 24h fitness center. We tried to make fun of the people working out alone at night and jogged "sporty" along the windows, i tripped on the uneven sidewalk and ended up with a cast on my leg.
Welome to the world of me! Pretty much anything i do ends like this at the moment.
The most obvious is my complete lack of computer hardware knowledge. So my geek conversation goes like this;
them:'You getting the latest Alienware 3.5GB RAM HArdrive with blah blah blah techno babble'
Me: '.......yes?'
Them: 'You know about that don't you?'
Me: 'yeah?....maybe'

Claimed I was a Nirvana fan once, talking to a girl in class who was into grunge in a big way (all I have of theirs is MTV Unplugged, I think...oh, and Nevermind of course).SextusMaximus said:
This other guy called me out on it, and asked me what my favourite song of theirs was - I replied instinctively with the first that came to mind "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (It's not even that, it's "Rape Me" that I actually like)...I thought he'd drop it, especially as the teacher was now taking an interest in the clearly unproductive discussion in the front row....
But no. He asked me to sing a bit of it, I blanked and found I couldn't remember the lyrics I'd been singing just yesterday, and rather than simply decline, I launched into the 'song' with a "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT, YEAAAHHHHHH!"...
I don't remember talking to the girl again, and the teacher, after he finished wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes, gave me three weeks after-school detention for disruptive behaviour.
I'm still embarrassed by that, even writing it I can channel some of that embarrassment. I think that shame is what fed into my brief music nerd phase at Uni (YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME OUT AGAIN!).
PS For those who've never heard the song, "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT, YEAAAAAAHHH!" are not the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. The name of the song comes from a joke someone made about Kurt Cobain (Teen Spirit was a deodorant marketed to women, If I remember right), which he liked enough to make it the song title. JOKE EXPLAINED.
I had my windows rolled down, music blasting outta my car like I was the shizz. My ipod was playing a tune that made me seem a bigger shizz than I was.
At the worst moment: When i was at a red light and there was a group of girls in the bus stop next to my car, my Ipod skips the track and starts to play a celine dion song pull pelt.
Ohh if only I had the guts to jump a red light

Heh, that is quite embarrassing. Imagine blasting music out of your car, like anyone sees you as more than a minor annoyanceMukil said:
At least you saved it with the Celine Dion, that would make me assume you had a sense of humour.
Sorry if you think this is overly harsh but people who play music really loudly with the windows of their car rolled down so everyone can hear their phat bass over the sweet purr of their parent's Ford Fiesta...they annoy me. A lot.
Going to step/lean on an object, only to find out it's closer/farther/moved away. Any one of those three things result in strange body jolts and flails, and occasionally falling over. *sigh*
I play instruments. Trying to impress anyone or look cool often leads to nervousness, which leads to a dry mouth, which leads to loud squeaks. Ego = dead, regardless of how minimal it was to begin with.

1st date with my girl friend at the time, and I tried to vault a fence I'd managed to jump over tonnes of times before....
Failed, shattered my shin, faceplanted the tarmac the other side, nearly got run over by a car that I later found out had my best mate and his family in it.
Worst. First date. Ever.
I still have the scar though.

umm...I don't get embarrassed.
I'm incredibly cool all the time, because like somebody said earlier, its only as embarrassing as you make it. Learn to play everything off, and you'll do great things.
Sorry to also quote you, but damn. Touch break. Sometimes life deals you shit ehAnchupom said:1st date with my girl friend at the time, and I tried to vault a fence I'd managed to jump over tonnes of times before....

Did she laugh at you?
Is it an awesome scar though?
I don't try to look cool, nor do I get embarrassed. I did once fart while strangling someone though. In the middle of throttling him, I let out a big, juicy THRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP. I loosened up on his throat because I was laughing too hard.
Ah, high school.
Ah, high school.
When I was younger, I used to think people would only appreciate my humour if I invented the joke. I didn't realise people would still find a joke I heard off the telly funny, so I'd often claim "I'd made up a joke" and then tell it
Problem is, is that I wanted to check they hadn't seen the programme, so I'd check with them thusly:
Me - Have you seen Fawlty Towers
Them - No
Me - Oh...cool.......anyway, I just made up a joke! *recount Fawlty Towers joke*
Yeah, they always saw through that...somehow

I was riding my bike around town one day as I usually do. On my way back home, I encountered a hill that, while fun to ride down, is about an eighty degree up hill ride. So I cranked my bike up to highest gear, turned on Eye Of The Tiger on my iPod, and said... Oh yeah. I got this.
Annnnd, didn't work. As soon as I hit the hill, I started sweating bullets, panting like someone severely out of shape, slowed to a crawl, and then toppled over sideways onto the pavement. I messed up my legs over some rocks and it was just as a truck of hot guys drove by and had a laugh. I walked my bike up the rest of the way while bleeding from my knees with grass in my hair. Fuck that hill, I don't go that way no more.
