I went to the loo on a long distance coach trip. Could have sworn I'd locked the door, but the coach went round a sharp bend, and it flew open, leaving me blushing in front of the facing passengers! Never used one of those loos since!

Recently my husband and I were in a lift and my shoelace was undone. I couldn't get down to fix it (bad back) so my husband did it for me just as the lift door opened and two people stepped in . My husband's head was at my crotch level and he on one knee and we both started giggling which didn't help matters! Goodness know what they thought!

Thanks for the giggles!!

My moment came whilst upstairs on a bus. I was sitting on the aisle seat as the bus went over a bumpy road, all of a sudden I found myself lying across the knees of the man sitting across from me. Not sure who was more embarrassed, but my DH never lets me forget the time I fell for another man!!

Before I retired I used to drive fairly short distance to work. Son was home from university and borrowed the car on the understanding he would pick me up from work. I left work and saw our car parked, along with another couple of cars, in a small pull-in pick up area just beyond our car park. I waved to him and he saved back. I approached car, opened door and got in. And turned to face a complete stranger who quite calmly said 'where would you like to go to today madam?'. The cars were parked slightly overlapping with mine behind the one I'd got into. My soon was convulsed with laughter in our car. In my defence, the cars were both red.

Many years ago I worked in an office where the ‘canteen’ was on the top floor. There was always a rush, when the lunch bell rang, to hop into the lift and be near the front of the lunch queue.
One day an greater number than usual jammed into the lift - about 50% more than it was designed to hold. It lurched up a few feet, then stopped dead. We were stuck there for ages, crushed against each other. Some started to get hysterical, while some of us just ‘got the giggles!’
Eventually they got the doors open, and we had to jump down to floor level, one by one. The boss was standing there, with a grim look on his face, counting us, out loud, as we emerged. We missed our lunch that day, as well as getting a good telling-off and a warning.
These days lifts are designed so that they can’t be overloaded, but I often smile at the memory of our ‘Black hole of Calcutta’

Many years ago I was desperate to get to the upstairs loo in a cafe. I rushed in pulled down my pants and realised as my legs and feet started to get wet I had not lifted the seat. Oops!

Yes, and often animal related. This one was DH's moment: My favourite Muscovy duck escaped at bedtime to play on the water. Fearing our local fox, I announced that I would be spending the entire summer night in the garden, in a deckchair, plus dogs, to limit the danger! DH not happy and shouted strong words at duck. Duck didn't care so I found deckchair and connected some powerful lights all around to deter fox and allow me to watch duck. DH announced he would definitely catch duck and re-appeared with our little plastic rowing boat, paddles and a landing net! Serious stuff. I lurked in the shrubs while he slowly paddled up and down. Duck very amused and a lot faster than a gradually tiring DH. After an hour, and darkness, DH was paddling with one oar and kneeling in front of boat for better control (?) enjoying a sort of gondolier moment, I'm calling to duck to distract her with food, but possibly duck can't hear properly over DH singing "Just One Cornetto" at the top of his voice.( Surrounded by fields, so we were not annoying any neighbours.) Suddenly dives forward and pins down Muscovy in landing net, but, in all the excitement, DH falls off and into lake followed by the rowing boat which rose up at the opposite end and then actually crashed down onto DH's back leaving him - if he'd had longer arms and legs - looking like a turtle in the reeds. Fortunately (since I am crying with laughter) DH rises once more and steps out of the lake, silently handing me my duck before squelching all the way into the house and the shower room. Now we can both laugh, it's always referred to as that Creature from the Black Lagoon incident.

I had been told that my boyfriend would pick me up from the station in a different car to usual, and was given the make and colour of the car to look for. I came out of the station and there it was. I got into the passenger seat and and an unfamiliar voice said "Who are you?". Boyfriend was two cars back and found the whole episode very funny; I couldn't get away quick enough!

Where they sold towels. Work it out !!!!

I've had too many ybf moments blush
One was not unlike yours cookie monster.
I was about 17 years old and just got off the bus to go home. I stepped off the bus and heard a pop. I looked around but couldn't see anything amiss. It was a horrible blustery day and I just wanted to cross the road and walk up the little hill homeward bound. I started to cross the road when whip, the wind stole my lovely wrap around skirt and it was flying in the wind up the road. I was horrified as it was moving so fast and I could see traffic coming shock. I found myself galloping up the road toward oncoming traffic! Somehow, such was my urgent endeavour I caught up with my skirt, grabbed it and dashed to the other side of the road. I snatched it around me and flew up the hill like a bat out of hell shock blush shock

I nipped into town one Saturday afternoon to do some shopping and spotted a really nice coat in Next. As it was a coat and the changing rooms were busy I decided to try it on by the big mirror in the shop.
I took off the coat I was wearing, to discover I was still wearing my pinny- I’d been baking before I went out!
