Reminds me of the time I was talking to my stepfather about my work's network stability. I said, "My computer keeps going down on me." He looked at me, lifted one eyebrow & said nothing else. I nearly died.
I think I may have posted this one before . . . but . . .
My wife's coworker's sister-in-law walked into a local hardware store. Another friend of ours works there and asked to help her. She said "I want to see what you have for caulk". It struck him funny and he got embarassed, then she realized what she had said and she got embarassed and left. She wouldn't go back in to that store until he quit working there.
Pambo, I thought maybe you would tell the one about the time you were yelling "I DO NOT need a blow...!" as the elevator door was opening and Maudlin was standing there.

We were in one of those wharehouse type stores that sells things regular and in bulk. It was when we still had a dog and I was looking at one of the big bins of dog food. I turned to a lady that was also looking at the different kinds and said: Excuse me ma'am have you ever tried this dog food before? I thought I was going to get punched.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that one.
How 'bout the time the guy at the McDonalds heard one of my other off color remarks & was smiling about it when we got to the window? Nice one.
Or the time the guy in the next car saw my various hand gestures & started cracking up?

Sometimes when driving through McDonalds I'll put the frequency of their headsets in the ham radio in my truck and listen to them talk.
One day I was going through and paid at the first window. Then on the headset the girl started talking about my dog: "You gotta see the dog in this truck - it's so cool" etc. I don't remember now what all they were talking about but when I picked up my food I answered every question and comment they said about my dog.
As I was driving away, they were chatting about it: "That guy heard us talking! I don't know how, but he heard us!"
Pambo, that reminds me of the time me and my then fiancee went to dinner with my grandparents. At the restuarant I ordered a pop, and of course it came in a glass with ice and a straw. We were talking, and I wasn't paying attention, just drinking my pop. I didn't realize the glass was empty, and when I sucked on the straw, it was situated right on a peice of ice to make this loud sucking sound. My grandpa then looked at Brian and said, "That's why you're marrying her!"
My grandparents used to have this big old Buick car that would hold what seemed like 35 people comfortably. Whenever we'd go somewhere with them, we always took that car.
I remember once when I was about 15 or so, we had been on an overnight trip with them and just got back to their home. I was helping carry luggage in the house. When we were done, it was just my grandpa and I outside.
I slammed the trunk lid down and it didn't latch and bounced back up.
My grandpa calmly said, "Do it again, that thing is like an old whore, sometimes you have to bang it twice to get it to stick".
I just stood there in shock that my grandpa would say such a thing to me. He just smirked and walked back inside.

Wasn't this all in the same day? Didn't it go something like we went to McDonald's to get lunch and were talking about our greasy, brown-noser of a co-worker... I said I think I ought to tell him to get off his knees because I can't do anything for him. You said, 'I am not a man! I do not need a blowj__!" right as we pulled up to the speaker. The McDwarf who took our order heard what you said and was giving you the big eye when we got to the window. Then we were laughing about that all the way back to the office when the guy next to us at the stoplight saw the gesturing and cracked up. Then when we were on the elevator you said that same thing again right as the doors opened and Maudlin was standing there looking worried. I think that was the infamous "Three for the price of one day".

Uh huh. I'm totally blushing at just the thought of it. That's a day that goes down in infamy. Mema got a big ol' kick out of it though. She almost went into a full blown asthma attack not once...but 3 times in the same day. Aw yes. Reliving my horrible embarrassment embarrasses me even more...
Ok I this happened the other week. Not most embarrassing because no one said anything but----
It was towards the end of the workday. My coworker that shares the office with me left for the day and I knew that another coworker had left & it was dead quiet. My betta fish kept staring at me and I hadn't been giving him much attention. So I started talking to him and then I started to whistle around at him because they like weird noises like squeaky toys. Anyways several minutes had passed when I started to realize that I did not know if the old biddy lady was still up here. I quit and sure enough I heard her move some papers! She is just outside my door, but we can't see each other due to a dividing wall.

Funny that this thread came up today, because I was just giggling about something that must have been totally embarassing for a coworker of mine. I almost feel sorry for her...almost...
This coworker has a bad habit of rushing around and getting really stressed out over little stuff. She makes me a little crazy with it, so I took a little glee in her mishap. Just after she was commanding me not to print something on the printer she wanted to use, she saw someone else heading towards the printer. She rushed over there to tell that person to wait and tripped herself up. She fell flat on the floor, spread out like roadkill, and the impact must've been something fierce...upon hitting the floor, she let out an enormous fart. It sounded like someone fired up a Suzuki. {{lol}} Once I made sure she was fine I had to rush away so I didn't bust out laughing in her presence. I noticed others who were present had quickly left the area, probably for the same reason.
