The Most Embarrasing Experience Of Your Life

27-03-2006, 7:56 PM

I have had far too many of these, but the one that continues to make me cringe is this one.

I had just had root canal surgery on two very badly abscessed teeth. The doctor gave me a prescription of Metronidazole to combat any remaining infection.

Anyway, that evening my ex girlfriend had asked me to go and meet her parents for the first time. Now these situations make me nervous, so I'd had a bottle of wine by the time I arrived at their house (GF driving of course). At first I felt fine, relaxed with my dutch courage, (I had taken two tablets of the above half an hour earlier). The father, kind of a stern guy, proceeded to pour me another very large glass of wine which I gratefully accepted - as I did the next two. Then as we sat for dinner the room started to spin for me. I thought this is odd I haven't had that much. Then the worst happened - I was uncontrollably sick all over their dining table (food and all) and proceed to pass out falling off my chair and smashing a family heirloom in the process. I was on the floor semi paralysed the room was spinning very quickly. Now GF's parents are going ballistic. Her father had to drag me upstairs (I am quite a big bloke) put me on a bed with bucket beside me. Anyway to cut it short this was about the worst impression I think anyone could ever have made.

And the reason: Metronidazole acts the same way to Antabuse when it reacts with Alcohol

I met them after and explained - but Let's say I was as welcome as a bad case of the flue.

If only I'd have read the bottle

Any one else want to share?

Do you think they find it funny now when they talk about it?

I had it coming out the other end when i was playing tennis at school, i told the the teacher i felt sick and ran up to the changing rooms. Luckily i managed to sort myself out and no one found out so i would say it was a narrow escape from the most embarrasing moment of my life.

Quite a recent one here but awful none the less. Already posted this so copied and pasted it to expedite matters!

Last year, on my second night in Australia, I went over to meet my friend Karens dad, of whom I had only met once before when he was in the UK about 15 months ago. A decent chap. Anyway, sat around the dinner table, Karen asked me if my works leaving do had been good to which I retorted -

'God yes, put it this way I was pretty drunk - paraletic. In fact I was so drunk I was paraplegic'

At that precise moment I saw Mr. Jones crutches behind his seat I recalled the fact that he only had one leg and one lung.

My arse hole tightended and I nearly pooped myself. I could not believe what I had just said. I looked down then up to see Mr. Jones staring into space. Needless to say I quickly changed the subject but in all my 34 years, in that split second, I felt like the biggest plonker in the whole world.

No harm done however as went on to stay with him for three months and he was a brilliant chap

God only knows, I parted with the girl on good terms - I had a short posting to Greece. But I think her parents would have thought their daughter had a very lucky escape

Is this thread a clean version of the one running in the 'sensitive' forum?

Too many to recount except for one when I was eighteen and just starting on my hippie adventures. I went to a party in London which was full of, err, hippies, as the evening was drawing to a close i decided to liven things up by removing my clothes in the belief than an orgy would then ensue( I'd been reading all about swinging London

). Needless to say no one else joined in except one very hairy**** bloke whom I later learnt was bisexual

my sister, who was also there, thought it was very funny

Yep, here's my cut and paste from the other thread...it is still my most cringeworthy moment.

I was staying over at my girlfriend's house one night and needed the toilet. I was in the side of the bed furthest from the door so to **** her off I crawled over the top of her instead of walking round the bed and felt my way in the dark to the bathroom. It was a hot night so I was wearing nothing. There was just enough light coming in through the bathroom window from the street light for me to see what I was doing and once finished I made my way back to the landing.

Because my eyes had adjusted to the light in the bathroom the landing was now pitch black so I really felt my way in the dark. When I got back to the bedroom I thought I would be funny and clamber back over my girlfriend to wake her up again, however just as I was about to do that the bedside light flicked on to reveal that I had completely missed the door to the room I was supposed to be in and that I was actually in her parent's bedroom, naked, about to clamber over her mum and into bed with them both...I let out the most girly shriek you could imagine, hurridly apologised and left the room...

When I got into bed my girlfriend asked me what was going on so I told her, she nearly wet herself laughing and I could also hear her mum and dad ******* themselves in their bedroom.

Needless to say I had a lie in that morning until her parents had gone out for their Sunday AM stroll as I couldn't bring myself to face them.

It was about ten years ago. My local pub has an outbuilding used by the pigeon club. There is a stareway, open at the bottom, but goes up inside to a landing on the first floor.

10.00pm (ish) and I was convinced they weren't using the building that evening.

My embarrasment?
The door opened as I was having a really good sh*g with a mate!

Four blokes stood there laughing as I was just about to reach 'that' moment.

Yikes - The next evening in the pub I was got at by everyone (in a good natured way).

PHEW!

PS: Somebody even noticed the little mole I have on my left cheek!
