Show and Tell Tuesdays.... Most Embarrassing Moments

Tuesday, March 17, 2015


Today, I am linking up with Andrea from Momfessionals for Show and Tell Tuesdays for our Most Embarrassing Moments. I, unfortunately, have quite a long list of embarrassing moments, but I will share with you three of those today (good thing I can laugh at myself?!).

{Moment #1}
I went to a Catholic High School, and when I was a Freshman I had no fashion sense. Some would argue that I still lack that sense today, but I digress :). One day, I decided to head down the Junior/Senior staircase to try to find a shortcut to my next class. I was wearing pants that are too long, with clunky shoes (probably clogs). The staircase was extremely narrow and dark, and before I could catch myself, I slowly started to fall down the stairs. You know that moment when the front of your body moves faster than your lower half? Yup, that's what happened. And it was in slow motion. I mean come on! Could it have gotten any worse? Well, to me yes. When I FINALLY reached the bottom of the stairs, not only were all of the Juniors and Seniors in the locker room area staring at me, but my aunt (who was a teacher there at the time) saw me and started laughing. I think I waited a whole year to use that staircase again. I was mortified!

{Moment #2}
I was a Freshman (see a theme?) in high school, and I was really excited to go a school dance. My friends were going, and my crush at the time was going. I was really shy in high school, and I didn't talk to many boys my Freshman year, but I decided to put myself out there at the dance. I danced with my crush (I had asked-- gasp!) and when we finished I looked at him and said "Thank you" and put out my hand for a hand shake. Oy. I mean even as I am typing this, I can't believe I did that. I was so nervous and I honestly didn't know what to do, so I thought why not shake his hand? Who does that?! It's a miracle I survived past that moment. I just shake my head in disapproval at my younger self haha-- I had so much to learn about boys and dating!

{Moment #3}
This embarrassing moment happen only a few weeks ago. I was trying to plan a get together with my cousins and their spouses, and I wanted to go to this really nice restaurant a few towns over from my house. I called the restaurant and requested a table for 6 at 6 pm. First off, I could hear the woman take a deep breath and sigh. She told me that in order to get a table at that time, I would have had to make a reservation about a month prior. I actually laughed into the phone. I asked her if they had any times available and she said they had one opening at 9 pm. I was still racking my brain, thinking about how ridiculous it was to have to book a month in advance, when I realized I was still on the phone. The woman asked if I wanted to take the 9 pm reservation, and all I could muster was "uhhhhhhhh" and then I got so nervous I hung up the phone. The best/worst part was that my husband was right next to me during that phone conservation and said "Did you really just hang up the phone on her without answering?" I guess it's moot to explain I get nervous talking to people on the phone (oddly enough, I don't get nervous talking to people in person). To that hostess, I am sorry! I won't do that again! :)

I can't wait to read what everyone else had to say!
