And with their toilets my most embarrassing story begins. But perhaps the most interesting futuristic thing the Japanese had was their toilets. I felt like I had traveled into the future, they had vending machines that talked in different languages, Ferris wheels to park dozens of cars in one spot, and all the newest technology you could imagine. Their daughter who was my age came and stayed with my family and I went and stayed with theirs. Share with me in the comment below a story about a time you were embarrassed.In high school I was lucky enough to do a summer exchange with a family in Sendai, Japan. Well, that’s my five most embarrassing stories. How many people saw me that day and at work with my pants inside out…and more importantly why didn’t anyone say anything. After I got off I went over to a friends house and immediately upon seeing me he said, “you know your pants are on inside out?” I looked and sure enough, the tag was sticking out the back in the middle of my butt like a little tail. I had multiple meetings and ran errands around town for work. I was in a hurry and just threw them on and headed for the door. I had decided I didn’t want to wear “real” clothes so I put on my leggings. It is after all illegal to try to kill yourself. People were looking at me as we walked by, probably assuming I was a criminal. Well, when he showed up he handcuffed me and walked me through the hospital, through multiple waiting rooms. They said a police offer would be there to take me from one hospital to the next. When they released me, they weren’t letting me go home, they were actually just sending me to another hospital. Back in the days when I was self-destructive, I tried to kill myself. This one is more of a sad embarrassing story than a funny one. But really, who walks into a moving car in the parking lot, and why couldn’t it have been an empty car with no witnesses. He did look at me funny, but he just drove on. Luckily though, the guy didn’t even get out of his truck or talk to me. The truck had stopped right in front of me and I walked right into it. It took me a second to realize what happened. I kept walking and I smacked hard into something. Well, as I was looking the other direction he stopped. I didn’t even think about it because he was driving. Right before I looked away there was a truck driving along. I was crossing the part where the cars drive and something the other direction caught my attention. I was walking through the parking lot of a grocery store. All through the line while I was paying he was saying over and over again, “It’s a cock that pees.” I was getting some pretty dirty looks. So I am pushing him in the cart through the store and he just loudly keeps repeating, “It’s a cock that pees, it’s a cock that pees.” I didn’t want to explain to him at that particular moment why he shouldn’t be yelling about a cock, so I just kept finding things to try to distract him. What little kid doesn’t love to talk about pee? So he broke up the work so he could say pee. That’s a funny word.” Then he realized it had the word pee in the name. One day we were at the thrift store and he found a stuffed peacock. He would get a word stuck in his head and just repeat it. When my son was about five years old he loved words. Still today every time I start the treadmill at the gym have this fleeting thought that I am going to repeat this moment. My best friend was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Then I looked up and low and behold, I had smacked into one of the guys on the bike. It shot me backward and I landed on the floor. I did get it to go, unfortunately, I got it to go full speed. I didn’t, however, want to look like I didn’t know what I was doing, so I just started pushing buttons. Well, apparently they had upgraded the treadmills since the last time we had gone there because I wasn’t even sure how to turn these ones on. These two guys went to ride the bikes, so we, of course, went directly in front of them on the treadmills. The way the gym was set up the stationary bikes were in a row and in front of them were the treadmills. Well, one day there were two really cute guys there. Mostly we went to flirt with the guys there, working out was an afterthought. In high school, my best friend and I used to go to the gym on the military base. Here are five of my most embarrassing moments for your reading pleasure. We’ve all had those moments where you wish you could disappear.
