LOL, cute stories, here's one of mine:

Not sure if this qualifies as embarassing but if you break the word down...

I forgot something in my truck while attending a meeting one afternoon. Went out to retrieve it but because it was in the center console, I couldn't quite reach it. Being too lazy to just get back in the truck, I decided to pull myself halfway in (chest on seat, legs on wheelchair) and grab the item. Mission accomplished, I lowered myself back to the chair. When I shut the door and turned around I saw a large middle aged woman standing motionless on the sidewalk staring at me with her mouth open and a horrified expression on her face. Thinking nothing of it I smiled, said hi and went on my way.
A few minutes later I realized that while climbing into the truck, the wheelchair has decided to pull my pants down and I'd been mooning the poor lady.

Tim, that cracked me up! I've had a few but none I care to admit to in an open forum.
I'll either have to recall something more tame or just muster up the courage to bare it all later. I'll think on this some more. LOL

I once came out of the bathroom with toilet paper stuck to my wheel, spinning round and round. My sister was cracking up but thankfully she was the only one who saw it lol.

Well, I'm still in my rookie season, so, other than farting in public I guess the only thing I've had happen is dropping my cath stuff in the men's room. Guys were handing me things back under the stall wall, and I'm sure they were wondering what the heck it was. If they only knew, they may not have been so quick to pick it up.

Gosh, I'm sure over the years I've had many embarrassing stories - I've just decided to block them from my memory. But I do have a couple that stick in my mind as funny as well as embarrassing:

In college I was leaving a class and returning to my car. It was pouring rain and I had to park father away then I normally did. Wanting to quickly jump into the car and out of the rain I didn't put the brakes on my chair (I usually never do) and as I got my backpack off the back of my chair and placed it on the passenger seat my chair rolled down a slight hill away from me. It managed to end up in an awkward spot so I couldn't just drive to it. UG! Meanwhile no one is around to come to my assistance (for one I wish someone would ask me if I needed help!). I contemplate crawling to my chair, but there are big puddles of water everywhere. Finally I see two girls walking off in the distance. I yell, "Hey! Could you guys come and help me with something!" They walk over and realize my dilemma. My soggy chair is returned and I thank them profusely.

Another time I was leaving an interior design meeting and I had to bump down a couple of stairs. We were outside and everyone was behind me gathering up stuff. I was talking to another person and had my heavy kate spade backpack on the back of my chair. I was a bit distracted and ended up tipping back too far off the last step and basically landed on my ass - my chair scooting out in front of me. Needless to say I was quite embarrassed. They first things out of my mouth were not obscenities (thank goodness, that's what usually happens when I fall). No, it was "Is my kate spade backpack okay!?" I had just gotten it and was afraid it had gotten dirty. So, from that day on I got a few comments asking if my backpack was okay?, never mind my bruised ass. Haha.

I was at a very serious meeting of about 8 people (although I was the only woman present) at the Centre for Inquiry about 3 months post-injury. I had raised myself to pressure relieve and passed a large amount of gas that had been building up between my bottom and the cushion on my wheelchair. It was the kind of flatulence that one would hear from a big, fat man after participating in a chilli eating contest. I was so embarrassed. It's pretty funny now, however. hehe.

[Kwag_Myers]

This one isn’t so much embarrassing; I just had a Stupid Attack:

I was just finishing up my shower and I pulled myself up to stand and give myself one last good rinse. When I put the hand-held shower head behind me the water shut off. Hmm! That’s odd. So I looked down and pull the shower head back around so I could see it and shot myself in the face. The water hadn’t shut off; I just forgot that I have no feeling back there. Doh!

That's hilarious.

Has anyone ever been caught behind a cow, holding it's tail, with their pants down? Circumstantial
evidence would suggest a sexual laison. I was in fact, only milking the damn thing when I had to stand up to pee, at which point the cow tried to walk away and I had to grab her tail to stop her.
Which is why circumstantial evidence is rarely allowed in court.

[carole338]

I’m sure I did and still do things that would embarrass most people but at 65 very little embarrasses me. Age does have its privileges.

i just had another embarassing thing!~

i was rolling around in the park when i saw this little puppy~ i rolled nearer to him then he started to get ready for attacks~
i was afraid that he might bite me or what. but, guess what?
instead of biting me it has decided to pull my pants away!!!
i held on tight to my chair and i was relieve to know that i had my belt on~
but then i went speeding through the park!!! and it was fun!
but in the end, i banged into the wall
then this cute boy went and said "hey! you are cute!~ mind if i help?" he is the cutest boy i've ever seen!
he helped me up and i was really happy! he is so cute! but when he helped me up, the dog went and pushed him~
then.......he kissed me by accident~
then one old lady said 'wow~ wad a cute boy~ and such a pretty girl together kissing...wonderful! hope you two can remain!'
then she walked away!~
then we became boyfriends and girlfriends and he has told me a secret~ he has spina bifida~ but we two remained together!!!
i'm not sure whether this is embarrasing though! but i had to admit it is the best day of my life!!!

Lyn~

Awwwwe! This is a funny story, but also so sweet. That just warms my heart. You made a friend. It's kids like the one you met that warms the cold side of my heart that I have towards my now adult stepchildren. It only recently got cold (they aren't being very nice), but thanks so much for posting this story it's the perfect ending to my day.

I'll start by just saying I was in a compromising position, I was syked that I was finnally in bed with this really hot guy I had been eyeballing for a while. Clothes off (including diaper) yeh and he was still in the mood hahaha. I thought he had started and well about 15 minutes into it I was going to town with my porno face and noises when he decided to tell me we had really not been doing anything for the last 15 minutes!!! He wanted to see if I was full of shit, I never told him where my feeling ended so the joke was on me cause I have absolutely no feeling down there!! I just couldn't perform after that, how could I!!

Oh, so you were both faking it, huh?

[Ches]

That is pretty funny Sits2Much..

Everyone knows us girls fake from time to time.. right?

Im always wondering if its still ok to fake (somethings) or can I weasle my way out of the extra effort by just saying I cant feel it?

The same way most guys wake up and think "oh god, what about my penis" is pretty much how it went for me,, but mine was "do I have to fake it still or not?"

I think you two have had MORE THAN ENOUGH to smoke tonight.
Put the f*@king joint down. It'll be there when ya wake up in the morning.
Basically what's happening here is you gals are being used like a pair of blow-up dolls by really cute guys who have no idea how to screw.
And even if they DID know how to move their ass's properly, You would't feel it.
But wait, there's more.
The plot sickens.
Ya can't let on that yer not feeling a damn thing cuz this would ruin the illussion that you're having a good time.
And if you try to teach them how to service a woman with style and grace, it'll crush their little ego's.

Now I understand why I don't get laid more often.
I'm not a MORON!
Get some sleep you two, ya need it.
Very confused young ladies.
Oh, and Ches, get the gal a pair o' them panties will ya.

I have a few embassassing moments, this happened yesterday.

My dog hurt her paw on Wednesday evening. I use a mobile Vet who comes to me. At about 9pm I left a message on her answer phone. The message was roughly as follows, "Purdy has hurt her paw and I wondered if you could come and see her tomorrow afternoon after I've done my bowels in the morning." The Vet knows me very well so the message was OK.
The phone rang yesterday morning and a well spoken woman said that she was letting me know that I had left my message on HER phone and it was clearly not meant for her. I was mortified but managed to thank her for letting me know. I had dialled '489' instead of '498'.

Another moment was when I was newly out of hospital and my Husband was pushing me in my very heavy E&J wheelchair down a hill in a pedestrian area. The walk way had a small road crossing it halfway down. As we came to the road a van approached and my husband pushed me in front of it! I grabbed the wheels and pushed hard to get clear. Now in full flight down the hill and unable to stop, I 'crashed' into a man coming out of a shop and pinned him to the wall. I don't know who was more embarrassed him or I. When my husband finally caught up he said the van driver had waved us across but I never saw it.

Anyone know David Heard (Journalist) who was involved with Back-Up and Sportability? He managed to walk in on me self cathing TWICE! On two different holidays.

I have a couple of others, one of which is truly awful. When your body really humiliates you in a very public way and you just wish the ground would swallow you. But I'm not telling that one!

[Ches]

Edog, we arent confused.
I think you explained it very well... in so many words. Guys are Idiots.

This should be a spin off thread,,

I was in a gas station a while back waiting in the queue. Someone was in front of me and taking ages. I wanted to pay for gas and a litre of oil. The person in front of me was taking ages. I started getting bored and looking around. Out the window, at the car magazines and such. Just as I glanced over at a certain magazine the attendant asked what I wanted and I turned back to him and said "$50 of premium and a Playboy please". He said pardon and I corrected and said $50 of gas and a litre of oil but he, and the rest of the by then ten people, mostly women behind me I am sure heard what I said. I am sure in my mind they all probably though "filthy perv" as I walked because they all looked as I walked past. Doh!

[Tinbasher]

LOL I have had the "wheelchair makes bid for freedom" happen to me but it rolled about 500yds down a hill across a main road and ended in an office car park! I was amazed that it managed to cross the road witout getting wiped out. The funny thing was that then a small crowd gathered around it looking for the occupant! I was shouting and waving at the top of the hill.

Another one was at a job interview as I entered the room the shorts I had been wearing the day before fell out of my trouser leg, thank god they were passably clean!

One which I will always remember is a bit below the waist but...

First time we went out to dinner with friends after rehab, I was wearing light chinos. Halfway through the meal my wife (rather clumsily I thought) dumped a glass of white wine in my lap. Only later did she tell me that she saw a damp patch spreading in my lap and decided that it was the only way to spare my embarressment in front of my friends.

Just yesterday at the mall I decided to be a little overambitious and go up the escalator at the mall rather than wait for the elevator which was incredibly slow because one of the escalators was down and all the fat, lazy people don't realize that they are lucky to be able to walk up the down escalators and took the elevator instead but that is another thread and I am rambling . okay so anyway I am going up the escalator and when I get to the top there is a larger bump thing than the escalators I am used to and my front wheels catch. Rather than pop a wheelie and wheel away I panic and hold on to the moving handrails hoping the pull will lift me over the bump. Instead it pulls my chair over forward on top of me. To top it all off my girlfriend is behind me and the escalator don't stop for any old fallen cripple so with no where to go she falls on top of me and has to jump over me as do the next 5 people behind her. Luckily two men were watching and flipped me right side up. Once i was ready to roll an old guy winked at me and gave me these words of wisdom "Take er easy there young fella" to top it all off my girlfriend had told me not to go up the escalator before i did it so i got to hear all about how she told me so for the rest of the trip . Luckily i got away with nothing hurt except my pride

[Squirrel]

I was in a restaurant waiting at the till to pay and decided to do a wheelie.... I looked kinda cool until I over balanced and tipped over backwards

Everyone looked at me!

A few months ago, at school, there were a few steps to go down, and rather than use the ramp, which would involve a huge detour, I decided to just bump down the stairs, plus, they're wide, shallow stairs. These stairs usually aren't a problem, and I'm not sure exactly what happened, but somehow one of my wheels gets caught on one of the steps and my wheelchair stops, but I keep going, right onto the floor. I got myself back into my wheelchair fine--no harder than a normal floor-to-chair transfer, but the funny thing is, before I had my SCI, I would do things like that just walking--falling down stairs, etc. So now my friends and I joke about how I was a klutz before and I'm still a klutz--despite the wheelchair!
