My turn
 

Picture it, December 9, 1987.

I had came home from school and I was dead tired, so I went straight to bed and it was one of these deep sleeps too. When I woke up and saw the clock, it was 7:40. I panicked, thinking I had overslept and missed my bus for school (which leaves at 6:50 am, and in December it would be still dark outside). I jump out of bed and run downstairs shouting, "Mom, Mom! Write me a note for school 'cause I am late!" Mom looks at me and tells me to slow down. I keep panicking and saying, "But Mom, I'm late!" Then I notice Double Dare was on TV and realized that it was 7:40 PM not 7:40 AM; I had only been asleep about 4 1/2 hours!:o

Part II, Spring 1991.

I was asleep in bed, then I woke up and looked at the clock and it reads 7:15 (AM), I again panic and jump out of bed, pounding on Mom's bedroom door with the same spiel. Again Mom tells me to calm down and to go back to sleep (I read my non-digital clock wrong, it was not 7:15 AM, it was 5:15 AM) :o

Deja vu like a mammajamma

2nd cute story: After being childless for about 7 years, we had to get used to closing doors and such when our curious child was in the area. One day my little one came to me and said "Mommy, daddy has a tail. I saw daddy's tail." I'm thinking that she saw his rear end, so I asked her where did she see daddy's tail. She pointed at the front of her body, and then it dawned on me what she saw. Needless to say from that point on, daddy made sure that the bathroom door was shut tight when he went in!

Not again...
 

I had to search for this thread to post my recetn embarrasing moment.

Okay, I have these sharp shoes. They're basic black, but they look really good with my suits I wear to work. Anyway, mine are about half a size too big, but not enough to cause any discomfort.

Anyway, I work in the downtown area of a major metropolis, so I have to walk a few blocks from the parking garage to my actual building. Well, I had on those sharp shoes, the ones about half a size too big. I'm running a little late for work, so I'm speedwalking to work. I get an intersection just as the light begins to blink don't walk. Well, I've got to get to the office, so I just speedwalk across the intersection not caring if I make the light or not.

Just then, my always comfy and sharp shoe, flies off of my foot. I don't mean I stepped out a little. I mean, I had to go over about four feet to retreive my shoe from the middle of the road. By this time the light had turned completely red, so oncoming traffic begins to blow at me for standing in the middle of the street trying to put my shoe on.

Moral of the story...wear gym shoes to work and change when you get to the office.

Still embarassed?
 

Okay its like the first week of Junior High & I am trying to be cute, as usual. All my girlfriends wore jeans this particular day but we I had on the cutest lil tennis skirt and my brand new FILA's. Anyway the grass in the area of the school is roped off to prevent folks from walking on it but as typical kids we do it anyway. I say to my friends "I better not climb over the rope b/c I may fall with my skirt on and I am not able to lift my legs too high" Everyone convinces me otherwise. So here I go, across the ropes. The whole time I'm on the grass, I'm saying "it would be too funny if I fell tryna cross the next rope outta here" No joke I said this like 5 times. Low & behold crossing the next rope I not only fell but slid all the way to the front entrance of the school. Tennis skirt way up in the air!!! To top it off all the boys yell out "safe" as I stopped sliding. I was tooooooo pissed.

Cute Kid Story:
Shopping in the grocery store with my cousin and his son after a long day of Mother's day shopping in the mall. All of a sudden his 3 yr old runs up to us with the biggest bag of Stayfree Maxi Pads ever made screaming "Daddy daddy I found mommy's gift. She loves these things. I know I see her buy them all the time." We tried to no avail to convince him that it wasnt a good gift. But the kid threw a temper tantrum screaming in the middle of the grocery store "Mommy loves these!!!!" So of course his wife was shocked as heck when she opened her gift. Yall know he had to wrap them hisself too.

Okay, this one is from a couple of months ago, my boyfriend came into town so i wanted to show him the night life. So i parked behind The cheesecake factory in buckhead. He asked why was my car the only one back there, i told him because it cost 20-40 dollars to park so i always park here and nothing ever happens, dont worry everything will be fine. so we left and came back because i forgot something like 10 minutes later and OMG, my car was gone, i thought someone stole it so i did a police report and everything come to find out i walked down the street alllll the way at the end it says do not park your car will be towed and the sign was really smaller than a piece of paper and the towing place was about 45 minutes away from where it was towed from.

I was really embarrased in front of my boyfriend whose only response was "i told you so" UGHH :mad:

man, i have so many...

But a month or so ago, i picked up my niece from school (she is 4) and we were on our way home. (In Nashville around 4pm - 7 pm the traffic is horrible!) so This guy almost hits my car trying to drive fast in 20 mph rush hour traffic. So he caught me off guard and i said "Sh@* I wish you woulda hit me!"

My smart niece waited for about 3 minutes then said "TeeTee, what is that word you said earlier?" I said "Oh, It was just Oh shoot that man had almost hit me" These people in nashville just dont know how to drive at all.

She said, i know, my mommie says that same thing every day too!:D

These stories are great! :)

Okay... :o

A little under two years ago, I went in to interview for a job. I was brought into a small conference room to meet the 6 (!) people who would be interviewing me. There was a whiteboard in the room. On my way in, I tripped over the foot of the whiteboard and went flying. (Fortunately, I was wearing a pantsuit.)

I figured I was pretty much toast as a result of my "graceful" entrance, but I muddled through the interview anyway...

... and got the job. :)

okay last one,

i was taking my cousin to a job interview and there was something wrong with my truck. everytime i got out i shocked myself. so anyway she got out the truck and she sat in the office filling out her paperwork. about 10 minutes later her name was called for the interview and she shook the mans hand that was interviewing her, and you'll never believe what happened. she shocked him literally and he replied "Oh, you shocked me" and she didnt get the job. (i'm sure not because of that though, it was just funny):D

for all those out there looking for jobs, please read and re read your resume to yourself and let others look at it. I was reading this in a book today and thought it was kind of funny, but these people werent even considered for the jobs because of innocent mistakes:

“Excerpts of some hilarious mistakes found on resumes include:
1. “Instrumental for ruining the entire operation of a Midwest chain store.”
2. “Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as ‘job hopping.’ I have never quit a job.”
3. “The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers.”
4. “Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details.”
5. “I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0, computor and spreadsheat progroms.”
6. “References: None. I’ve left a path of destruction behind me.”
