... at least you didn't say you were 'stumped.'

Most of mine are emotionally scarring, but one day when I was about 17 or 18 I was not paying attention when I fished jeans out of the dryer and was unaware I was wearing my sisters jeans all day. I had long hair and wore a leather jacket at that time and... apparently I had an amazing ass or something because I got a lot of catcalls and whistles until I turned around.
There was the time maybe 15 years ago a couple friends brought me to a strip club after work. I fell asleep there and at some point one of the girls there shook me awake and asked me if I wanted a dance. I misunderstood and apologized and told her I don't know how to dance. I am amused by that one. Probably because I haven't been to one of those places since.
Also in that wayback machine, g_r and I were at a friends place... kind of a friend.. well it was the death metal crowd. In an apartment with Hieronymous Bosch paintings on the wall, satanic shit everywhere, tinfoil over the windows kind of place. They're all in the other room engaged in recreational pharmaceuticals and g_r found me on the couch underneath the giant blood red pentagram tapestry sniffling. Not crying. I was watching Benji. It was just at the part where he was walking into the sunset after he saved the baby mountain lions.

I remember arguing grammar with a teacher when she explained that you lay down inanimate objects but animate objects lie down. I blurted out, "But you can lay a dog (down)..." Cue hysterical laughter from the rest of the class.
You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.

I think I already told the Aikido one.
Most recent one (though it's sorta by proxy) is when my son was trying to learn the word 'truck', except it was coming out as 'guck' ...and when he said it loudly, it occasionally sounded like he was saying a certain part of male anatomy... Anyway, we were going down the street one day, son was in my arms, and he kept looking around, seeing the trucks, and yelling "BIG GUCK!!" People were staring and whispering. I could only imagine what they were really hearing.
Fortunately he says it right now.

This didn't happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine...we'll call him Mr. Cool.
Mr. Cool was working traffic, and there was some construction on the highway that created a short backup. Mr. Cool was taking a cruise up the access road to see if he could garner up any tickets for people cutting off the highway across the shoulder. Mr. Cool saw three cars jump off the highway and into the grass heading for the access road. Mr. Cool let them get almost to the access road before pulling up and blocking in all three cars. In his excitement of nailing three cars in one stop, he jumped out of his car to collect driver licenses, and in doing so, forgot to put his car in park. So there in front of a crowded highway, Mr. Cool had to run along side his car for a few feet to jump back in and put it in park. It was the most embarrassing moment of Mr. Cool's life.
But like I said, this was a friend of mine, so I'm just assuming it was the most embarrassing moment of his life.

SG I love your stories!!
This one:

Reminds me of that awesome "call me maybe" guy!
