What are some of the most embarrassing things you have said or done? As for me, there was a really nice old guy who I used to work with on night shift at Raytheon -Andover, MA. Although I never really noticed before that he walked with a limp, one night it was slow and I noticed it. So while he was walking down the aisle approx. 100 feet in front of me, I blurted out at the top of my lungs, "Hey Bob, what did you do to your leg?" He turned around and blurted back, "I ain't got one!" Turns out he had a prosthetic leg.
Oops!

Awe, but, you couldn't have known!
I was skiing for the first time in my life on the bunny hill and I couldn't master the "pizza slice" braking system, so I slid down the bunny hill, out-of-control, and crashed into a group of skiers standing around the bottom of the hill, knocking a few people over.

When I was still a teen, I had a job at the local newspaper stuffing insert flyers in the paper. A group of us, mostly old ladies and me, were standing around doing that and they were typical old hags, gossiping about another group on the other side of the room. Not wanting to feel left out, I said "Yeah, and that big mole on the side of Martha's nose - she looks like a witch! Could anything be more ugly?" Not nice, I know, but I was caught up in all the crazy old lady talk. Anyway, I look at the one right across from me and she had a nearly identical mole on her nose that I never paid attention to. Oh boy...talk about embarrassing. I mumbled something like "But your's looks good..."

In Jr. High we had a teacher named Mr. Eshoo. While dining in a restaurant I proceeded to explain loudly to my cousin that many kids would pretend to sneeze in class as a way to mock the teachers name. I went on to stand up at the end of the booth and gesture with my arms about how big Mr. Eshoo's stomach was. We were laughing historically. Only then did I notice, two booths down, Mr. Eshoo eating lunch with our school principal.

Oh Lord, this thread was created for me and my friends. lol I have two friends who are horrible at this. One is known for saying extremely inappropriate things around people you don't want to hear it, for example, we will be out to dinner and she will be going on and on about the size of a sex toy she saw not knowing the waiter is standing behind her waiting to take her order.
But she isn't the point of this post. One of my best friends Brian is. When we were teenagers we were typical Jersey mallrats. That's what we did, we got out of school, changed clothes and walked to the mall to spend all day at the arcade. Our friend Ashley was the manager of the arcade called Tilt. Anyway, one day we get out to the mall and there is this couple going at it in in the common area of the mall. He's screaming at her that when they get home he's taking a switchblade to her throat because he's tired of her effin' mouth, blah blah blah, you get the gist. So concerned for the safety of this woman we go and find security and let them know what is happening. So, now we are kinda proud of ourselves. We did a good deed we are thinking. So we run down to tilt to tell Ashley all about it. As we are telling her the story about this scumbag threatening to kill some lady in the mall I look up and in the glass door behind her I see the reflection of these two people standing behind us. I poke my buddy Matt (brian's brother) in the ribs and he sees it and we take off through the doors. Brian, doesn't notice, but continues on saying "That f&*king a$$hole belongs in jail. He's lucky I didn't kick his stupid ass for threatening that lady. What a scumbag." Notices we aren't there and turns and sees them standing behind him. They were Ashley's parents. So he ducked out too, but yeah, that was a bit of a moment to remember. lol

Here's another brilliant Brian moment. We were walking around downtown Easton, which back in the early 90's wasn't the safest place. We just got done seeing the movie the Mask with Jim Carrey and were walking to a local diner to get something to eat when three guys approach us and ask us for a dollar. Matt and I tell them we have no money and show him our empty wallets (we smartly hid our money in our shoes knowing how Easton can be). Brian the brain tells them "I don't have any singles. All I have are a few twenties and a ten." One of the gentleman looking for a dollar says "I'll take that then" and puts his hand behind his back like he's reaching for a gun. Matt and I smirk and chuckle a little because we are standing behind the guy and he is reaching for nothing. Thankfully the guy working at the convenience store across the street saw what was happening and came over. He asked us "Is everything okay here?" Brian responds "Yes." Matt and I say "No!" Thankfully, because of that guy we were able to get away and Brian the brain was able to keep his school clothes money. The funny thing is the kid is brilliant. Calculus, trig, all those he aces. But on the street, he's a moron.

In the pizza business. A local franchisee of Little Caesars when mental, closed and sold off 4 (fairly new) stores of equipment and lease hold improvements for 10k each. A huge help when I bought them. Was in an elevator in Vegas and on the name tag of one of the people in the elevator was "Little Caesars national store development". I felt extreme gratitude and started to speak.............thanking someone for what is at heart their failure is never a great idea and 5 seconds into this diatribe I realized that, failed to exit the words eloquently and started laughing at myself. Of course he saw me as a huge ass at this point and I am sure he thought I was laughing at him. I just left the elevator with my wife wanting to kill me. Boy, that haunts me!!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!! I'm from Phillipsburg!! Born and raised! Toby's is still there but Joe's is better lol I have read that online, joes being better. It was a 24 hour drive to visit Nan (grandma) and could not wait for Tobys steak sandwich and a Breyers milk shake (all changed for the worse as years went by and the owner died). She moved and lived as long as I knew her across the freeway from Tobys and I think behind a grocery store. I loved it there. Mom was born and raised there also. She lived on Watson Pl (maybe Andersen) and Fisher........ring a bell? www.citysearch.com/profile/map/634893210/phillipsburg_nj/tobys_cup_inc.html
