Most embarrassing thing you've done lately?

[TarHeelNation11]

This could be a running thread for me because I'm the king of doing embarrassing crap.

For me, this past Friday one of my favorite bands Turnpike Troubadours (red dirt / GOOD country sound blended with rock) came to town after not coming to Atlanta for like two years -- a show at which I accidentally blacked out due to pre-gaming.

So they came to town again on a tour to promote their newest album and I went with a few buddies. We all had fun, except.....stupid me made entirely too strong of a Jack & Coke before we even left my apartment, and of course I got some drinks at the show, by the time the opening band finished and Turnpike started, I was pretty browned out. I remember only tiny, tiny fragments of their set (but somehow had the wherewithal to keep track of all the songs they played on the "Notes" app on my iPhone). And then we went out on the town AFTER that, which I remember a little better but still not very well......then caught an Uber home. SMH Lol, it was one of those "fun nights that I remember very little of." The good news is I didn't do anything super embarrassing like spill drinks or get thrown out of a bar, but there was probably just a lot of slurring.

What embarrassing things have y'all done lately?

Trying to untie a knot my hand slipped and i gave myself a black eye. I felt my thumb sink into my eyeball. Hurts (and looks) like hell complete with red ruptured eye blood vessels. Good part is when people ask what happened i can tell them a third degree black belt punched me in the eye.

I came about *this* close to busting my rear on wet concrete in front of students at the community college about half an hour ago. Arms wheeling, let an expletive slip, etc.

I wasted an hour or so yesterday arguing on OOTB with a couple of numbskulls.

I finally watched Taxi Driver... and I just do NOT f***ing get it. How that movie is considered a cinematic masterpiece is totally beyond me. I am a huge fan of De Niro and Scorcese. But, how that film ever became famous, I will never know.

I agreed with uncboy on something. Not really, that's next to impossible. But just thinking about it is embarrassing.

Went to a costume party last Saturday dressed as a 1980s Rocker.
The gray beard really sets it off, don't ya think? (Not!)

Yeah it's pretty much taken a whole life of its own where my son is concerned. I think it may have hurt my standing around the place.

I was in charge of securing a multi-billion dollar Army Blimp (white in color) at my job in Aberdeen, Md . .

In my best Rick Perry voice . . . 'ooops'

I'm not sure which of us was more embarrassed; but, I was at a local music store (in Anderson, SC), and the sales people all know me. Anyway, they had a big clearance sale table that had a box of old vinyl records. Now, I had just the night before watched a special on Netflix about Glen Campbell (I didn't know he has Alzheimer's and it's gotten pretty bad), but I found an old Campbell album in the box. I said "Hey! Glen Campbell! You know I saw where he has Alzheimer's now!" One of the sales guys, mid-20's and a good guitar player himself, says "Who's Glen Campbell?" WHAT? Granted, Campbell probably shined brightest in the 1970's, when I was just a kid, but he's an icon.

Told my wife in Target that "my balls really itch- I need to powder the boys up" except it wasnt my wife- she had turned and moved down the aisle and I was talking to a homely Elon coed who had come up next to me while I wasnt looking.

hahahahahaha yes! I HATE when the ol' "person beside you walks off without you knowing" thing happens. Always good for an epic embarrassment.

Oh- here's a good one. Last week at church we were sharing the service with the AME church down the road.

Note- if you ever have a chance to attend an AME service, do it. The choir was awesome, the piano player was belting it out like Aretha and she also played backup piano to the sermon. The AME pastor was really good and really funny (on purpose) and the whole service was just excellent.

So anyways, we didn't realize before we went that it was AME Sunday, which includes a great pot luck lunch after the service and had already made plans immediately following. So our pastor asked us as we were leaving if we were going to come to lunch. I said, "we can come for a drink of tea" and she shot me a really funny look and gave an awkward laugh. As we were walking away my wife asked me "WTF is wrong with you? Why did you tell Sue (our pastor) that you needed a drink?"

I know that's not what I said but apparently what was heard by the 2 women in my immediate vicinity.

The year unc beat dook with laetner and hurley for the acc tourney title i was driving my wife and kids and my parents home from the sc coast after vacation. (Big ass suburban)I was glued to the radio and totally absorbed in the game. With two min to go the suburban started running rough then died. I was so into the game i didnt even notice we were running out of gas, on a stretch of 85 in the middle of nowhere.

Well, I'm wearing this to school Friday for Storybook Character Day.

I had a pretty good Slash costume I wore for this reward day a couple of years ago. I can't find it though. Hook's picture reminded me of it.
