🫣 How Embarrassing! 😳

Oh yes... a few years ago DH and I were courting I wasn't feeling great but insisted on catching my flight home (long weekend in France). On the way I asked him to stop the car. He couldn't because there was no hard shoulder and there were cars behind us.

I opened the window very quickly and hung my head out of the window. English car on the "wrong side" of the road and cars coming towards me. Backsplash in the wind may have coated the windscreen of the car behind us.

I never made it to the airport. We found a McDonalds and Mr TwinLolly got me a spare change of clothes while I got cleaned up. I had to phone my boss and tell her of my predicament. Also i had to let the airport car park know. 2 days later we drove back to the UK and fetched my car, no extra charge, and I went back to work.

I'm had a good laugh at these!

Just got back from a scuba dive. The tiny rubber duck was being thrown around a fair bit on the way back. I felt very sea sick and before I could do anything, I threw up in the boat, onto my flip-flops. Oops!

On seeing my face, the skipper realised my predicament and stopped the boat. I washed my flip-flops in the sea, had some water to drink and we set off again.
Half an hour later I found myself hanging over the edge of the boat, for dear life, heaving again. The skipper saw me and stopped the boat in case I fell overboard. Sadly this whole display was witnessed by 5 others. I managed to get back to land without further episodes.

I was about 9 yrs old. Me and Mum went to Out-patients hospital where she was to have a mole cut off. On the nurse asking Mum her age, she replied ‘40’. I quickly came in and said ‘you’re not, you are 21’.

In a cubicle with DS who has SN. After he'd finkshed I decided I would habe a wee too so I told him to wait while I went . Up he piped " What I have tonstay here, that's disgusting". Then from me a hissed "Do not open the door" as he started fiddling with the lock.
Then with a big grin on his face he started on his frequent comment of "Muuum you don't have a Willie do you, what do you have". Little devil!!
When we got out the queue was in stitches!!

I was minding three toddlers, all out of nappies, a pushchair and shopping....it was market day in Redditch Market and there was one toilet which faced directly onto the markets. Also it was one of those that you spend a penny and get 15 minutes. Well, 15 minutes for three toddlers and me just wasn't long enough.....as I was the last one to "go", the door opened automatically to a market full of shoppers. As I hovered mid stream three toddlers took great delight in trying to escape. I never got my pants straightened until I got home.

I don't know where to start

I once went into the Gents by mistake. There was a long corridor going into them and the signage was unclear. (That's my excuse anyway!) A man was using the urinal when I walked in. Embarrassed, I said "Ooh, sorry!" and hurried out as quickly as I could. As I walked back along the corridor, I met another man coming in. He took one look at me and, thinking he was entering the Ladies, said "Ooh, sorry!" turned round and went back out. I was so afraid I would meet him in the Ladies that I decided to hold on a bit longer.

This is about me embarrassing my mum. Age about 4, 1955. We lived in a bungalow and the bathroom directly faced the door. A travelling salesman knocked and asked if mum was in. I said yes, opened the door wide, walked along the hall, opened the bathroom door wide, mum sitting on loo, and pointing at the salesman said That man wants you. Mum screamed and the man disappeared.

Very amusing thread FannyC.
But how rude of Bon Marche staff Happys

Dundee Rep theatre, full house, usual huge queue for loos at half-time. One of my chums suggests we use the disabled loo which opens straight out to where women were queuing. Door locking mechanism decided to fail when I’m on the throne. Extra wide door opens very slowly, my chum, between me and the door, starts moving from side to side and waving her arms about to try and keep me covered. I just had to sit there until the door slowly closed again. People outside all turning away, so as not to look. Both of us crying with laughter 😂
When we exited, no-one would look directly at us but you could tell they were all desperate to laugh. I said something like “well that was fun” and that was it, gales of laughter all around.
My daft dippy chum died a few years later, far too young, is much missed but I have many funny memories of her.

We took our grandson aged about 3 to a country park. He was adamant that he did NOT need the loo as we passed it. We set off along the trail through the woods. After about 20 minutes he decided he DID need a wee. No problem - lots of trees!!. Grandson adamant he could not do an alfresco wee but needed to return to the toilets. Luckily my quick thinking DH pointed to a tree and declared it to be a "wee tree" - grandson very impressed an all was well. Except everytime we took him out for weeks afterwards he pointed at every tree and demanded to know (in a loud) voice if evry tree we passed was a wee tree!!

One of my big fears, that is.
Or that the door will open too soon, while I'm on the throne.

Not kiddy related but I managed to get myself locked into one of those loos that look like capsules. I went in and the door closed and a voice said: “evacuate! This unit is about to be cleaned!” . I had visions of Disney like hands in gloves scrubbing the place. And I couldn’t get the door open. I think I screamed. My mother who was waiting outside, laughed so much she almost had an accident but eventually managed to free me. I will be absolutely desperate before I set foot in one again.

years ago my little niece used to spend some time in a neighbours house an came home one day to tell her mum that 'jean' had eyelashes on her bottom. can only guess she'd left the loo door open and the little girl had caught a flash.

That's the spirit!

Yes MissA, it reduced me to tears and then anger, and has added greatly to the stress of going places. But I'm a big girl, I can cope and I will.

How awful!!!
I live in fear of that kind of situation.
I've has plenty similar, but without anyone as nasty as that shop woman.

Another loo related one here.

I suffer from IBS-D which has caused me many embarrassing moments. On this occasion I was shopping in town when I realised I needed a loo very quickly. I knew where the public loos were and they were too far away. I was right outside a Bonmarche store so I dashed in to the checkout counter and asked an assistant where the customer toilets were. She looked me up and down and said they didn't have any. I told her very quickly that it was an emergency and could I please use a staff toilet. She said "No" and started to direct me to the public toilets. I interrupted her and said "It's too far and you will have a very nasty problem on your hands I don't get to a loo right now!" I was getting desperate now. She pointed across the shop and said 'Go up the stairs on the other side of the shop and turn left." As I hurried in that direction she shouted after me "And don't you dare leave that toilet in a mess. Dirty old woman!" The shop was busy with customers and there was instant silence as everyone turned and looked at me, followed by sniggers and giggles. I could feel my neck and face going deep red. Eventually I was able to return to the shop floor and just wanted to escape, but I went to the checkout and asked to speak to the manager. I was told she was at lunch. The assistant who had embarrassed me was behind the counter but quickly disappeared through a side door. I wrote a letter of complaint to the manager but never got a reply. I used to shop in Bonmarche quite often, but never again.

Not loo related but very embarrassing for my DIL.
When DGC was 2 DIL took them in town. Walking towards them was a person wearing a burka. DGC started pointing and shouting loudly "Mummy mummy there's a post box walking. It can walk. It's a letter box." My DIL was mortified and apologised profusely to the person but they were OK and just laughed.

I bet the woman made a slow one - when she was sure everyone else had gone!

Some great posts.
I took my daughter who was about 4 at the time into some public loos. The lady in the next cubicle obviously had a tummy ache..... Mummy, why is that lady making so much noise with her bottom?
We made a very fast exit.

Wandering around B&Q with several service users on lady said that she needed to loo. I turned around to find her having a wee on a display toilet. We made a speedy exit

Pregnant with my second child my 3 year old daughter and I were on a bus into town when she announced to the bus "my Mum's having a baby and do you know how it comes out - it's like when you go for a poo"!!

Not loo related but DS1 aged about 2 announced to the butcher and customers “ my mummy’s got a baby in her tummy”.

At the beginning of the covid outbreak I had to go the doctor. Hubby drove me and parked nearby. When I came out, his car was just outside and I thought he'd moved it to save me walking. I jumped in and a voice said hello. I looked at the driver and it wasn't hubby, just a man in a similar car! I jumped out apologing profusely. I was mortified and literally ran away. The poor man must have thought I was crazy.
