However I was wired up to my ipod with the actual machine in the coat pocket and so as I took the coat off the wire fell away from my neck and onto the steps. In trying to retrieve it I fell over and landed on my backside at the bottom. I didn't hurt myself but two assistants came rushing over to help me up. As if this were not indignity enough we then discovered that the ipod wire was now caught irretrievably between the escalator steps. The assistants had to fetch two security guards, one of whom stood at the top of the escalator to stop anyone stepping onto it whilst the other used a key to stop it and start it going in the opposite direction in order to extract the wire. Whilst this was going on I stood by like an idiot while all the customers watched me. I then had to walk round and do my shopping in the knowledge that practically everyone in the store had seen what happened to me - and with the red hair I'm fairly distinctive. My only saving grace was that this happened on a weekday morning when the store was relatively quiet and not a busy Saturday afternoon.
I hope this cheers you up!
To this day, I think she suspects that I only persuaded the band to go on in drag AFTER she found me, to cover my embarassment.
Last summer my daughter dragged me onto a scary funfair ride. This ride swung from side to side then hung upside down for ages, before repeating the whole sequence again. As I was climbing off with wobbly legs and a green face, I saw a group of teenagers from the school where I work. They began clapping & cheering so I tried to look cool and unconcerned. One of them came over to me and whispered "MISS, DID YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTIME YOU WERE UPSIDE DOWN YOUR BOOBS FELL OUT?"
Oh the shame!
Mine was at primary school. During morning assembly we use to file into the hall and stand in rows. When the headmaster, who was on the stage in front of us, stood up we had to all sit down and stop talking.
One day we were all in place � the Head stood up and everyone sat down except the boy in front of me who was so busy talking he hadn�t noticed � I grabbed his trousers and gave them a tug � unfortunately his elastic waistband did him no favours and his lovely bum was exposed to the whole school � I was mortified.
�He went on to be a choir boy at Wells Cathedral I believe.
I have two for you, and I still cringe when I think of them...
The first happened when I was in fifth (last) year at school. Our school yard was split in two by a path, and being the oldest, us lads commandeered the furthest yard to play football at dinnertimes. One day, the other yard was being re-tarmaced, so the rest of the kids were just milling about around the outskirts. Due to a miskick, our ball was rolling towards the out-of-bounds area and I thought I'd be a hero and run after it. Reaching top speed I attempted to kick the ball back into play and tripped, falling flat out into the black stuff!
I had to stand up in front of everyone to the sound of their laughter and walk straight out of school covered in horrible, warm, stinky bitumen, and still had half a mile to walk home!
My second happened on a coach to Spain in 1994.
Not long into the journey, I really needed a number two, and when I got into the coach's toilet I was concerned to find there was no lock on the door. As I sat down to do my business, I realised that if I sat right on the edge of the bowl and stretched as far as I could I would be able to stop the door from opening by pressing against it. I was just approaching splashdown, when suddenly... the door opened outwards and a startled little girl just stood there looking at me... as did the people sat at the top of the stairs behind her!!! After what seemed like ten seconds I hissed "shut the door quick" at which point she rushed back up the little stairway leaving the door open!
I sat there for about 5 minutes trying to compose myself and then had to walk back down the coach, by which time my wife and our friends already knew about it.
I had to complete the journey (about another 20 hours) knowing that everybody on the coach knew what had happened. And my face is now burning thinking about it!
