vanillafluffyWhat's the most embarrassing moment you've had to live through? Do you look back at it now and laugh, or do you still cringe when you think of it?
The year was 1989. I'd lost quite a bit of weight over the course of about a year, going from 315 pounds down to 230ish at the lowest. I don't recall *exactly* how much I weighed at the time of this incident, but it was somewhere on the sunny side of 250.
I was working the night shift at an answering service, and frequently stopped at one convenience store or another to pick up a cold caffeinated beverage on the way in to work (Start time, 11PM).
At the time, I didn't have a washing machine at my house, and I hadn't been to the laundromat for a while...long enough to be down to the rattiest of the old panties at the bottom of the drawer.
So there I was at like, 10:45 at night, back near the cooler grabbing a big ol' Diet Coke, when the saggy, stretched-out panties succumbed to gravity and dropped down around my ankles without any prompting from me.
I was the only one in the store, not in line-of-sight of the cashier, but I had a feeling that trying to retrieve my undies might have made me a tad conspicuous. I abandoned them, paid for my drink, and got the hell out of there. I felt awfully drafty that night at work, but nobody noticed,or if they did, they didn't say anything to me. I blush to think of what whoever found those raggedy drawers thought!
It was probably about 15 years before I went into that particular convenience store again. I've also learned to cull my lingerie before it gets THAT bad.

I think my most embarrassing incident came in Grade 5 Sex ed., when I asked the teacher: "Why is it called a 'boner', when there's no bone in it?" LOL....

Watchmen is one of those movies I'll leave on in the background if it's on, despite the fact that I've already seen it multiple times and own the DVD.

I always ask my Sex classes what their parents/ sex ed classes have told them about sex....and I am STILL appalled by what they are told (assuming they are told anything at all). And then they get misinformation from their friends, or (even worse) from porn. *shakes head*
