yeah arlequin, my list is endless too. I get emabressed just tying my shoe! But one incident I'll never forget no matter how hard I try. During an assembly in 5th grade, my foot fell asleep and they called me up for some reading award and when I stood I fell on all the sorrounding kids! I can laugh now, but it was the worst moment in my life.

parked my car on top of a really steep hill and wnet inside to my friends house. 10 minutes later the neigbhour knocks on the door smirking and giggling..... "come look at this! come loock at this....some dick head left their handbrake off". i remember laughing and thinking "what an idiot"

as you might have guessed my car was not parked out the front anymore.

it had rolled down the hill, into a car, bounced off and continued down the hill, picking up speed and screaming through and an intersection. It ended up about 150m down the hill, wrapped around a tree.

when i got there, there was a crowd of people standing around whispering and gasping.

as i got closer i could hear them.."whose is it? whose is it?"

as i pushed my way through the crowd i tried not to look at anyone. the front of the car was wrapped right around the car. but by now i was standing in the middle of the circle that the crowd had created. they realised it was mine.

I panicked. I told myself "just pretend they arent there". so what did i do? got in and tried to drive away. of course the thing wouldnt even start. making me look even stupider.

i got out again, looking like even more of an idiot. the corwd was silten and jaws a-gasp. i kept my head down, and walked away. the crowd parted to let me out and just stared at me in silence.

i went straight back up to my friends house and didnt come out.

the next day at school EVERYONE knew. I NEVER heard the last of it

even to this day it still crops up in conversation occassionally but because ive just had so much hassle from mates about it over the years, it doesnt hurt anymore. infact i can even look back and laugh.

I had to do a play based on a sitcom with a group of my friends in Media studies last year and I had just come back from a councelling session, I was all fired up and ready to go. We were the first group up so my teacher made us sit in the middle of the room. The busier the room became the worse my anxiety got so I yelled 'Sir, I need some water' so I ran out of the classroom...and then out of the building...and then out of the college altogether.

He sent the class out to look for me Embarassed

I was forced to take some kind of physical education in high school, so I chose volleyball. My anxiety was so bad (and still is) that I would not move to try to bump the ball under any circumstances which caused my 'teammates' to think me even more of a weirdo and hate me. I was just standing there like a moron one day and the ball hit me smack in the face and everyone about died laughing.

More caused by my clumsiness than anything else but i could have died from the Embaresment.
I was at school walking along with my best mate desperately trying to learn my latin vocab for my next lesson and was walking down the stairs..couldnt see where my feet were and went 'you know im going to fall over some..'
tripped and slid down the stairs mucking my ankle up. Talk about irony. But instead of geting up and hobbling, i sat hand on ankle talking to a wall..i knew it was a wall..but i just sat and talked to it. No idea what i was talking about..i was just embaresed and was trying to find a way to ignore it..not sure if that was the right way..
anyway, my friend was laughing..and this teacher came up and was like..you ok?..i said nothing and she had to talk to my mate and explain that id fallen down these stairs..so she got me up and i had the fun task of grabbing a teacher with two arms around the shoulders ansd basically being carried down through the school Embarassed

i wanted to die so bad. i could hear the laughter...

but seriously..why the wall? why talk to the frigging wall?

Seriously, I embarass myself on a daily basis. But a memorable one; When I first got my driver's license I really was afraid to drive, still am. I have a terrible sense of direction, so I got lost looking for an address. I pulled into a driveway to turn around, a house that looked empty. But, as I backed out, my front bumper became attached to one of those wires that come from hydro poles, think they are called guy wires? I almost pulled down the whole fucking hydro pole trying to unattach myself from guy wire thingy!! Embarassed

I attracted a fine huge crowd of pissed off, but probably also amused neighbours. And also a fire truck to help unhook wire from my bumper. The whole time the owner of the house was screaming at me at the top of her lungs. Not my best day Cool
