I'm doing a research paper regarding people's behavior in social enviroments in the internet, compared to social enviroments to people in real life. You can see my questionaire in this thread.

My hypothesis was that people act out there true desires online where they really have no consequences for acting like an ass, because you're pretty much in total anonymity. In person, you have the consequences of your identity/face revealed, and you have more at stake.

My plan is to compare the results from the anonymous (ATOT) from those that I know in my class, and seeing if the results are similar or different.

So heres the question!

What is your most embarrassing moment, and would you admit it in real life?

You can PM me, or just reply it in the thread, whatever is most comfortable for you.

Thanks

I went to Super Arby's for lunch. This place is like the regular Arby's, but they sell alcohol and they also have a section that sells delicious barbacoa burritos (with beef brisket or chicken).

Anyway, their restroom have those fancy automatic flushing toilets. Well, when I sit down to use one, the stupid toilet flushed and spray water all over my butt.

When I finish filling the bowl with feces, the toilet would not flush, so I was forced to leave the "suprise" there for the next person.

I called a client one day and got his answering machine. He had, by far, the dumbest corniest answering message I've ever heard (it was gay x1000). So, I called it back and let others in my office listen to it on the speakerphone. When it was finished playing I pressed the hang-up button, or so I thought, and went on a tirade about how stupid that was and how annoying it was I might have even said something about his parents...I don't remember. Anyway, after about 30 seconds of this I hear a beeeeeep. I never disconnected the call and he had my entire tirade on his answering machine. :eek:

Needless to say I had to take his call later that day. I apologized profusely and that was the end of it.

I don't know if he changed his answering machine message after that or not.

It was definitely my most embarrassing moment.

Edit-Feel free to use this story. This happened many years ago when I lived in NY.

OK, I will post one that is not all that embarassing, but still made me red.

Cliffs Notes:

Needed to take a pre-req class that I never took(yet was still accepted into program) - took at local community college

Although I am white, I was the minority at that school...it was a little uncomfortable to be so different than everyone else in that class

Went to the bathroom on the first day of class...

Came home...

Husband pulls long piece of TP that was hanging from the back of my pants...
asks "what's this?"

Totally mortifying...of the two white people at this school, I was the only LOOSER with TP hanging off the back of my pants walking through the halls... :disgust::eek:

EDIT: for those wondering the TP was for lining the seat....ever since then I always count to make sure there are two long strands of TP before I flush and leave the stall..

LOL, You have a point there, but its up to you if you want to post pubicly, I also suggested PMing me if you felt uncomfortable sharing it with the rest of us :).

BTW, thanks to everyone, I really appreciate the help, I was REALLY COUNTING on ATOT to be my "internet" part of the experiment (its the only message board I go to).

Thanks again :D

My most memorable embarrassing experience:

A few years ago, I was taking a shower when I somehow slipped and started to fall. I managed to fall in the direction of the shower curtain, taking the curtain and shower rod down with me. Tangled up in the curtain, I hit my head on the sink, then after I hit the floor, unconcious, the curtain rod nails me in the forehead. My husband came in to find me feet up in the air, wrapped in the shower curtain, big bruise on my forehead and the back of my head, starting to come-to, with the shower spraying all over the bathroom. He hit me with the door on the way in, too. He started laughing and shut off the water.
