Ohmygod I am beyond embarrassed!

So you know me and the boyf are having problems with our neighbour and her wee vicious ankle biting dog? Well the community police man and the dog warden have spoken to her but to no avail (she just bats her eyelids and denies everything) so I decided to gather evidence…every time it was outside on it’s own shitting in someone’s garden, barking the place down or attacking an innocent bystander I took photographs. Today I went to get the photographs developed and they are grebt, except for the ones I took at 4am because the light from the flash reflected off our windows and they are all naked pictures of me (I jumped out of bed to catch the little rodent in the act and had not time to put clothes on)!!!!! I wondered why the woman looked at me strangely when I collected them, I am mortified!!!

I never thought somebody could post something involving dog shit and naked chick and photographs that didn't make me wanna puke.

So, is it implied that these embarrassing incidents must have a "haha" element to them? Because I've had a lot of embarrassing incidents, but they're hardly funny.

is there a difference between embarrassment and humiliation?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Good question. I think humilation has more of an indirect object feeling to it; as in someone else is humiliating you. Embarrassment you can do all by yourself. It least that's my interpretation of the connotations of the words. In terms of denotation, I think "to humiliate" as a verb is to degrade someone. "to embarrass" seems more like to make someone feel uncomfortable about their competence around others. Humiliate seems the stronger word.

I have been humiliated, for example, but not embarrassed.

If you don't know anyone who works at a photo lab, quick, go make friends with some! They have great stories.

The one that sticks in my mind was the lady who came in just before close to a one-hour photo place and absolutely HAD to get her little boy's science fair project photos developed right then because his big presentation was the next day, etc. Just crying over it. My friend took pity on her and told her to come back in a half hour.

He develops the pictures and they go a little something like this: plant seedling, plant seedling, plant seedling, plant seedling, plant seedling, small plant, small plant, small plant, small plant, small plant, two plants together, two plants together, two plants together, two plants together, GUY WITH MONSTER HORSE COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK.

The lady came back in half an hour to pick up the photos and thanked him for being so nice.

this is the greatest story ever.

My most embarrassing incident. I wear hats. It's an obsession. I need to always have something on my head. One day I must have left my hat upstairs, so I took a pair of underpants off the ironing pile and put them on my head for the time being. But I must have forgot I'd done that because when a tap came at the back window I opened it without thinking. Well, no one ever comes to my back window because the only access is through my friend's garden, but for some reason his fourteen-year old daughter and her friend had come down to ask me about something or other. She asked me it and then said, "Why have you got a pair of underpants on your head?" At which point I realised. And I live in a small town, so the girls needless to say, blabbed the story around the whole town, being fourteen-year olds, and my reputation has never recovered.

I used to work in a photo lab and you're right there are some great (and bizarre) stories.

Got one set of pics off a guy who must have had a stag night of some kind, or perhaps it was just a boys night out who knows. Anyway there were several pics of all these guys with their trousers round their ankles, standing in a row/circle, grabbing the guy in front of them between the legs. Like a fucked up row of skinny elephants.

I suppose it was a circlejerk or something but good gravy, who takes photos of that kind of thing!?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 August 2003 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, if there were ever any pics of boobs or wet tshirts etc the (old, male) boss would insist he had to inspect that batch personally as a "training overview". Pervert.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 August 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG an actual elephant walk! I was hoping boys weren't that silly for real.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 1 August 2003 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry smee, but i thought this was hilarious! I did a similar thing once. I was in my bedroom, starkers, & my bro's friend was leaving, so i popped my head round the door to say goodbye, obv covering my modesty with the door. Sadly what i didnt realise was that there was a mirror reflecting my nekedness! oops!

two years pass...

I was wandering round Tesco's this afternoon and noticed they had a load of new summer clothing in, so I went and had a look at bikinis. Nothing I particularly liked, so I got a paper and some milk and some of those nice French tarts and went to join a queue. I suddenly realised the girl in front of me was my ex-flatmate. That's not the embarrassing part. The embarrassing part was when she noticed a sticker stuck to my beret. Not just any old sticker ... it was a For Hygiene Reasons Please Do Not Remove sticker from the gusset of some bikini bottoms.

Er, there's a question there just begging to be asked...

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 19 February 2006 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Sure is, why were you wearing a beret?

I recently sleepwalked, naked, into my housemate's bed at 4am. I was in a drunken half-asleep zombie state and thought it was mine. It took him 15 minutes to wake me up at which point I shouted "WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE?!" and woke up the entire house.

The worse part of it was there was a girl, asleep, in my bed who I had neglected due to passing out on the sofa.

I can now never get married due to the certainty of this story being told in the best man's speech.

there was a family do round my mum's, and my bored nine year-old cousin put on a video marked 'Blackadder' which was in fact some soft porn that I must've taped off channel five when I was fifteen or something and completely forgotten about. This was in front of his Dad. Everyone was very nice and turned it into a joke (it was VERY soft porn), but I was mortified.

This wasn't embarrassing to me, but...

A while ago me and a couple of friends were talking about how we'd never seen a gay porn film, and how we'd like to watch one. Then we began to wonder about where you could rent such films: do they have gay porn in regular video stores? Some time after this, me and another (male) friend of mine were at a video store looking for a movie to watch. By chance, in the video store there was also this cute girl we both had met, but didn't really know (she was a friend of a friend). So we said hi to her. While we were looking for some films, I remembered the earlier conversation I'd had. Top understand the story you have to know that I have a pretty loud voice, and it was a small store. I said to my friend, "Hey, I wonder if they have gay porn in here?". He looked kinda embarassed, and told me to shut up. I didn't even realize what was wrong. We rented a film and as we got out, the girl was looked at us in a somewhat weird way. Outside the store my friend explained that she'd probably gotten a wrong impression about us. I was like, who cares?

Ailsa - do you mean how did it get on my head? Searching for my size at the back of a low rail, with other bikinis dangling from the rail above, I suspect.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Sunday, 19 February 2006 23:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's what I meant. It'd have been a much better story if you'd been experimenting with how various bits of bikinis looked on your head.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 19 February 2006 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Tuomas: have you ever heard of a thing called the Internet? I hear it's fairly good for viewing samples of porn of all kinds.

― chap who would dare to be slightly tipsy on the internet (chap), Monday, 20 February 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

When I was about 8, me and my brother were rummaging around cupboards to find a movie to watch. We found one hastily labelled 'Wild Things', and naturally in an 8-year olds mind we thought "Hey, it's something about lions and tigers!"

Abut a minute later: "Mommy, why is that lady licking that mans pee-pee?"

Cue hong-kong action style dive towards the VCR.

And that's how I learnt about sex!

― PlayfulPuppy (playfulpuppy), Monday, 20 February 2006 02:47 (twenty years ago)

Hey you never told me that story before!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 20 February 2006 03:34 (twenty years ago)

I once tripped and ripped off this lady's dress. It was no accident but it was still embarrasing

Tuomas: have you ever heard of a thing called the Internet? I hear it's fairly good for viewing samples of porn of all kinds.

Yeah, but we wanted to see a whole flick. Besides, this happened before everyone had Internet at home, and we certainly weren't going to use the university computers to view that stuff.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 20 February 2006 07:26 (twenty years ago)
