Hard to pin down a most but right up there:
Going in and using a Men's Bathroom in a chic-chic place (thus the stall doors) and not realizing it until I went to wash my hands and wondered what those urinals were doing there....
No, no man was in there at the same time - did pass one at the door going out and I acted as if I belonged (let 'em wonder). No, I wasn't drunk, but obviously was having a little reading problem. The mood lighting was bad.
Want to hear the one about the, uh, fem product with the sticky backing adhereing to my wallet and flapping in the breeze when I went to pay once at the groc. store?

Actually that was about it except: the process of unsticking it was more complicated than it should have been and the LONG line behind me breaking into gales of laughter and the clerk being about 17 and male - he was motified. I avoided shopping there for a while.

Umm. my then bf and I were visting a friend out of town overnight. We ate 'ethnic food' and the next morning I had uncontrollable gas. I emerged from the bathroom and they were both staring at me. My then bf actually said "WE CAN HEAR THAT!"
ahem. I can't believe I'm writing this. Maybe I'm lying.

>Oh, I hope you're not. I'm like a tasteless third grader with that kinda stuff and find it so funny. I guess I should work on my refinement level.
BTW, that whole aspect of physiology gets much worse as we age. So, be warned...

I was at a social function. My husband and I were at the very beginning of our relationship and I’d dressed up for him. I was wearing a very short black dress and thigh length leather boots, and back in those days I had the figure for it.
Even on my way to the function I realised I was probably dressed a little too whorishly when a man chased me through the park. I had to jump over a fence to get away from him.
I met my husband (then boyfriend) and the look in his eyes was totally worth it. I felt fabulous. We had a very pleasant evening. However, I was slightly irked to be the object of far too much attention from a preppy girl who made it very clear from the way she looked at me that she thought I was scum. She seemed to have taken a particular dislike to my boots. I returned her scathing glances with a series of big cheesy grins.
After the function was over my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant with friends. By some quirk of fate, Miss Preppy was there with her friends. She was still looking over at me with an expression of distaste on her face. I ignored her for a while and got on with enjoying my dinner and a few glasses of wine. After a while she got up and went to the bathroom and I decided to follow her. Once in the bathroom, I stood next to her in front of the mirror, gave her a big wink and kicked my lips. She got out of there as quickly as she could. I emerged a minute or two later, by which time she was already back at her table. I walked slowly across the floor, doing that hip-swinging thing women can do in high heels. Next thing I knew, I was on my *ss amid a crash of crockery. I’d fallen over, knocking some poor man’s dinner onto the floor and onto myself. Miss Preppy’s face was a picture. I guess you win some and you lose some.

Phillipa, you capitalized Boob. That made me smile :o) The German police officer at the airport squeezed my boob when she was running the metal detector wand around my underwire bra. I would have been embarrassed, except it was too early in the morning, and I was already feeling victimized.

Phillipa, I'm the kind of smart that overestimates itself. You're the kind of smart that underestimates itself. You know a lot more than you realize. Often your short responses are more direct and have more insight than my LOOOONG posts. Sometimes you write that you're guessing, and yet you've totally found the essence of a person's dilemma, or an efficient solution. That's intuitive intelligence- the kind they don't teach at the university.
You've had to learn about psych medicines the hard way, and you had to raise yourself. And you still have an attitude where you always want to learn more, which I think is amazing. AND you ride your bike almost everyday. Many miles. I envy your good exercise habit!
Love,
"Lurp"-ll

I used to teach high school physics. No matter what you teach at what level, you are bound to embarrass yourself completely at least once.
I had just finished prepping a class for a test on color and light the next day, and had brought out some toys from our ancient lab storage room to show them. One was one of those color-blindness test books with the colored dots and the "hidden" numbers to determine if you were color-blind and what type of color-blind you were.
I became a physics teacher for several reasons, one being that I hated biology. Too squishy. Anyway, someone eventually asked what caused color-blindness. I knew the answer. It wasn't even on the tip of my tongue, it was more back towards the middle. It really was a question for a biology teacher anyway, not some hard science physicist like me. I really, REALLY should not have responded since my brain had stopped functioning, but I spit it out anyway:
"I'm not certain, but I think it is a genital disorder".
Which just goes to show that your mothers were only partially correct -- if you play with it, you'll go color-blind.

Oh my- this reminds me of the time when I was doing a presentation in front of 90 of my fellow 10th graders (I was SUPER insecure) and I wrote "pubic" on the board instead of "public". It was up there for 30 minutes and I had gone back to my seat and was staring at the word for the rest of class. No way to fix it. And the whole class was whispering and pointing. AWFUL!

When I was in college, I was looking for a job in the town where the school was. I saw a help wanted sign in the window of this place downtown, not far from the school. There were advertisements for juices along with tons of beautiful plants in the window; it looked like a health food store.
When I went inside, there was a juice bar, pool table, groupings of chairs, but no shelves of health food. A lady came out and asked if she could help me. I told her I'd seen the sign in the window and was looking for a job. She told me owner wasn't there, but she said she'd take my name and number. She gave me a piece of paper and was looking for a pen when she blurted out, "Would you have a problem working in the nude?"
Turns out I was in a freaking massage parlor and didn't even realize it!
She was very nice and tried to convince me it was a great job because the tips were great...
It was a long time until I was no longer known as the school's offical "working girl"! ;~}

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends...

Not the worst of mine, but a funny one. My wife and I were in a nice restaurant (Steaks and seafood) sort of like Red Lobster, but a lot of atmosphere. They had quiet private dining tables so I took the crab legs I ordered (the ones attached to the body still) and stuck it up my shirt cuff. I was doing the claw-hand thing and mumbling some creaturous rar-rar-rar when the waitress came around the corner to see how are meal was. I was busted. My wife started laughing at me. I blushed severely. How embarrasing.
