Answer 1

there have been far too many, most too personal to share. one that stands out you may find funny, plus someone benefitted from it.

i went tothewrong funeral!!i was part of a millitary colour party and we attended veterans funerals in full uniform carryung the colours and with a piper.we would march in the colours to a lament (colours are flags) and stand at attention at the casket for the duration of the service, and march the colours out forming an honour guard at the hearse. we was all hardcore drinkers, wanted to get to the funeral home early, find parking set up , then get a few drinks in us before the service. when we got to thefuneral home, we saw that there were a couple people seated in the chapel, and an urn of ashes, as well as a robed chaplain! d**n we're late. quickly we trotted in and assembled, throughout the service, i thought the chaplain was maknig a grievious error when he kept refering to the deceased as "he". we were attending a past legion presidents wifes funeral.after the service we stood outside smoking cigs and drinking from our hip flasks when one of the people from the service came over and introduced herself as a nurse. she tearfully thanked us as mr. soand so had no family but was a veteran, and she was so touched that more than hospital staff attended the service. we had time for a quick beer or 2 before the service we were suposed to attend started.

Answer 2

I am having trouble coming up with my most embarrassing moment...there have been many because that's my curse...and I am on the spot.  There is one thing that comes to mind...When I was younger I had a huge crush on a guy, Joe, and I was talking to him about a show I sang in once.  (He was a performer...)  He asked if I sang a certain song that he loved.  I hadn't but I said yes and how much I loved that song because I wanted him to think we had so much in common, I guess.  He then said, "Even the whistling part?"  I said, "Oh yeah..."  Well much later I found out that song HAS no whistling part.  So he KNEW I was lying...and I was just standing there smiling like an idiot and claiming to have done the entire whistling part.  Seriously.  I still see him once in a while and I can barely make eye contact.  I still cringe from embarrassment for myself to this day.

But here's what I'm going to tell you:

I think that the reason you're having trouble getting over the moment is because you aren't with him any more.  I couldn't miss the "unfortunately"...  When you find yourself with a different guy...and maybe even married one day you'll either look back at it and laugh or you'll look back and cringe, the way that I do...but either way, it won't haunt you the way it is now, I promise.  Because you'll be happy with where you are, with someone that you love and that loves you - embarrassing moments and all!

Chalk it up to experience, hon...and do what you can to stop thinking about it.  That's really all you can do.  I'm sorry it's bothering you so much! :(

Good luck, it'll get better!  It will...

In order to move on, you need to own it.  Make a joke of it, admit where you did the wrong thing, share your experience with someone who is in the your position but feeling all alone.  Whichever you need to do, do it.  We are all human and we all do dumb, hurtful, embarrassing things, it is how we learn and how we grow.  Keeping it a secret only gives the situation more power than it deserves.  Own it, learn from it and you will be able to move on.

I was teaching gymnastics to young children, not wearing underware and unknown to me, had a hole in my gym short's crotch...think leg stretches and me leading the group.  Not a proud moment for me.

Good luck to you.
