Most embarassing moment EVER!
Okay, so myspace problem solved - I set it to private. If I still feel uncomfortable or it doesn't workout for me, I'll just delete it. My blog is my baby and I would never give it up - but myspace - I can take it or leave it.
Well, I've been debating about blogging about this for a few days now. I had the most horrible thing happen to me this weekend. Literally, I think it has been one of the worst moments of my life. But, now that a few days have passed and I look back at the incident, I can laugh a little bit and it doesn't seem like as big of a deal.
So - here's the scene...
I went to the private pool, Cherry over at the Red Rock on Sunday morning and I laid out for a few hours with Doug. For those of you that are new, Doug is my boyfriend, we've been together for about 2 months and he's a few years younger than me.
Here's a picture of us together...
So, anyway, yes, he looks young, but not like, THAT young. Anyway, after we laid out at the pool for a few hours and it was HOT, so I was in and out of the pool the whole time, I was tired and makeup-less. We go across the street to Costco so that he could buy some stuff. After he paid for everything, a girl pulls us aside and starts to give us this big sales pitch about how he should upgrade to a VIP membership because he spent so much money in the past few months. Appparently he bought his TV there and that combined with all of the groceries makes him eligible for the highest Costco membership. So, she's trying to do this sales pitch, but she sucks. She's foreign and I think she might have been new, but she wasn't getting the point across very well and I felt a little bad for her. She's not even telling him WHY it would be worth the 50 dollars for him to upgrade. I knew he was interested, so I take the lead and I start asking questions. I'm really trying to help her out so that she'll get the sale. Next thing I know she says to me "Oh, is this your son?"
Ummmmmmm - "WHAT?!?!?!" She caught me so off guard - she fucking asked me if he was my son. I thought for sure I didn't hear her correctly. When she saw the look on my face and heard the tone in my voice she quickly says "I'm sorry - did I offend you?" and I said "yes, you did offend me" and I walked out the door and burst into tears. You have to be kidding me. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I was beyond offended. I was mortified. I wanted to crawl under a rock and die.
So, needless to say, she didn't get the sale Poor Doug didn't know what to say. He just walked outside amnd hugged me while I cried for like 10 minutes. Oh my god it was seriously the most embarassing moment of my life. Not to mention, that this is like a new relationship - you know how it is in the beginning, you are trying to look good all the time and you still care about the small things. If I wasn't doing pool reviews as a job, he would never see me in a bathing suit. Trust me. I don't usually wear bathing suits in front of guys that I like. I'm very concerned about my image and how I look when things are new, so this little incident really threw all of my pride right out the window.
So, now that I've told you guys my MOST embarassing moment ever - I want to hear some stories from you!

Ok...You so DO NOT look like his mother! What was she smoking?
August 23, 2007
Definitely not looking like his mother! Hell no!
Hmm, embarrassing moments...Hmm...I think it was a couple summers ago. I had a client in the city and I had to take the train to get there. Got caught in a rain storm and got kind of wet. After over an hour on the train I get to the city and hail a cab. I sit in the cab and my pants rip from the bottom of the zipper all the way up my ass to my belt area!
I had to go to this client. I had my laptop with my and held the bag over my exposed ass.
To make it even worse, I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl under a desk. I told the staff not to look, but they did anyway. I think one of them was blinded!
NYC is no place to have your ass hanging out! LOL!
August 23, 2007
Oh no she didn't. You should have stomped her into submission. Geez.
August 23, 2007
I think that is the equivalent of asking a woman when she is due and then finding out she isn't pregnant.
I know you're not fishing for compliments, but I've seen you in person and umm....admired your bikini pics and no normal person would consider you to be Doug's mom. Not that there aren't hot, well built moms out there.
On the flip side, didn't your dad get complimented by someone thinking you were his girlfriend?
August 23, 2007
that is ABSURD. carmen, that was just a ridiculous thing to say, don't take it seriously for a second. a similar thing happened to my mom, where the woman (who was also foreign) asked if my stepdad was her son. i'm not trying to paint every non-native with an idiot brush, not at all. i'm just saying, maybe it's different in another culture or something...but seriously, don't sweat it. you're gorgeous.
August 23, 2007
Im still laughing hottie.. lol. I am sorry. It sounds funny though. Do not take it hard cause some skank who had a kid at 13 thinks you could be his mommy. jesus. She sounds like an idiot.
I can not remember my most embarrassing moment.. probably a good thing.. I actually have thick skin and do not get embarrassed easily.. obviously.. lol.. So here is a cute story.
I am at summer camp and waiting to see if I can get a chance at the "Big" swimming race.. and the hot chick who was my counselor finally calls me up to race.. I was so excited I forgot I had my bathing suit on and not my shorts and I yank them down to my ankles.. lol. Lucky I was wearing undies.. I think the whole camp laughed but I may be over analyzing.

When I was about 40 years old, I was in a children's shop, looking for a gift for a baby shower. The owner came up and asked me if I was pregnant! I said, "I certainly hope not." And, the longer the woman talked, the deeper she dug the hole. It finally dawned on me that she thought I was my ex-husband's new wife! Then, it got funny, and SHE was the one who was embarrassed.

This is starting to get erie. Yesterday, I wrote about how social networking sites suck and you wrote about how MySpace sucked. Today, I wrote an embarassing story about how I had to rush out of a poker room because I had a case of the runs, and you post an embarassing story. If I start posting Dancing with the Stars recaps next season, I wouldn't be surprised at this point.
August 23, 2007
What a fucking moron! I swear she deserves to be rip to pieces (verbally) right there in front of other customers. I would have destroyed her. I still will if you want me to call her or something. ;-)
There is no reason for you to be concerned about your "image" or anything like that. Unless your concerned that your just so damn good looking and sexy that it's too much for us here in blogland. I could understand that!
I don't really know why I have a myspace. I refuse to download the instant messenger and I don't do a damn thing with mine. Oh well.

Long time ago I went shopping with my friend and her sister who is 6 years younger than her. The saleslady goes oh mother and daughter right? My friend got livid, turned around and took off.
My most embarrasing moment happened when I was in high school. I was chosen to give a speech for a very important school function. In the middle of it I forgot the speech. My mind just went completely blank. All those eyes staring at me and me in total panic. I still have nightmares about it.

I suck at reliving embarassing moments....but I get embarassed very easily so I have a lot lol. The thing I hate hearing the most after a night where I've been fall down, forget what I did, fucking fucked up drunk is..."OH MY GOD MEL, do you remember what you were saying last night...." followed by a word for word recap of all the embarassing shit I said the night before including and not limited to, "if you don't take "care" of her tonight I will!" (when in reality I'm 100% straight) or, to my Grandfather who got me drunk at dinner one night, "those guys are hot, they want to make babies with me".
*sigh*

first off you definitely don't like like mother and son so something clearly be wrong with her vision...
Embarrassing story: I once told a girl that she looked like she fell asleep in a tanning bed for like 4 hours to which she started to cry. I later learned that she had a skin disease problem. Talk about feeling embarrassed and bad for about a week
August 23, 2007
I love your blog because you are so honest and frank with your life. Thanks for that. As everyone else has said, that woman was a little off. You look great. That same thing happened to me when I was with my best friend Anna a few years ago. We are the same age and I was hanging outside the nail shop while she was getting her nails done. The asian woman doing her nails saw me and asked Anna if her son wanted to sit down inside and wait for her. Anna was so pissed! Of course, since she is my best friend and not my girlfriend, I got to rag her and tell all our friends. It was pure entertainment for a week. I think it was more me looking real young at the time than anything to do with her though.
My most embarrasing moment was when I was about 24 years old. I was hanging out with this smoking hot chick that I had met in NA. She invited me over to her house, she was telling me all of this intimate stuff, changing her clothes in front of me like it was nothing at all. I'm thinking "awesome". Then we went to the mall and she was taking me window shopping, looking at clothes and makeup and jewelry. I was not the least excited and she looked at me and said, "Are you ok? I thought you would like going shopping with me." I was like "What" Her: "Well, you're gay, right? Nathan (who was really gay) said you were gay." Me : "Not so much." Her: "Really? Oops, I have been referring to you as "Gay Paul" to our friends in meetings." Me: mouth open. dead silence. Mentally preparing Nathan's death.

Oh my god... That would piss me off so bad. I get upset when they don't card me for a drink!! Those bastards!! :) You look beautiful darling!!
August 23, 2007
Carmen baby, you're smokin' hot! Don't worry about some dried up hose beast who can't see straight.
As to embarassing moments...get drunk at party. Go to restroom to sit upon the throne. Pass out and fall off of said throne. Have friends (yes they still are my friends) take pics of me passed out on the floor with my pants down around my ankles. And the capper, did this happen when I was an 18 year old party hound? 21? Try the respectable age of 28! You'd think that I'd have been somewhat more responsible by then, but you'd be wrong! Ah crazy stuff.
August 23, 2007
I had not noticed before taking a closer look at today's picture but you and Doug have similar shaped noses.
I have limited shame but most embarrassing story for my daughter was soon after I started working at my current job a lady I worked with 7 years ago was near my cube on a day Daughter had to hang out at work with me. The daughter was sitting with her back to cube entrance and got to hear Rathna say "Oh is your wife visiting?" When daughter turned around rathna realized her mistake but compounded daughter's shame when she said "She's a big girl now and was such a little baby last time I saw her"
At this point wife and daughter are same height, same high color and of similar frame.

No, you don't look like his mother. What a dumb thing to say. I would've cussed her out for at least 30 mins.
One night, not long ago, I was out with some girlfriends and we ended up at this all night bar. It was like 5am and I knew my husband was probably calling to see where I was. I went to check my phone, but it was nowhere to be found. In my drunken state, I just knew someone had stolen it. I am normally a very quiet and reserved, pleasant drunk. I'm not one to EVER cause a scene, drunk or sober. I hate that type of behavior. Anyhow, quiet little me climbed up on top of the bar, that was packed btw, and screamed at the top of my lungs, Which one of you M Effers stole my GD phone??
The phone, I later discovered, was in the car. I haven't been back to that place since. :)
August 23, 2007
HA! you think I would tell an embarrassing moment on the interet for all to read? You got to be kidding me.
awakening next to someone you met the night before and not remember their name count?
what if you rummage through their stuff on the table and see a name and still can't see straight enough to make it out or know if it's theirs or not.
Nah - that's not embarrassing.
August 23, 2007
Man, blind stupid people are everywhere, not just at poker tables.
Shake it off chickie, you are a hottie and remember...you are still WAY younger than me *grin.
And there is NO way on god's green earth I'm ever relating my most embarrassing moment...just not enuff tequila in the world for that *grin.
August 23, 2007
Assuming you might be his mother is just plain ridiculous. I'm sure she's the type of person to slow down to 40mph in the left lane of a highway while she contemplates her inevitable 4-lane douchebag maneuver towards an exit. She's probably also mildly retarded.
As for embarrassing stories, I may or may not be currently posting part 1 of the most embarrassing/hellish week of my life on a popular bloggers original site. Part 2 coming very soon.

I grew up in Mississippi, and mothers dating their sons wasn't that big a deal.
Not much here; I was a bedwetter until I was twelve if that helps.
August 24, 2007
Ok, that had to have been horrible.
You don't look like his mom though!
August 24, 2007
How embarrassing.
Love,
Your son.
August 25, 2007
No you don't look like you're his mother. I think you two look adorable. Sorry I can't tell my most embarrassing moment. Hubby loves your blog and reads the comments and even after all these years, I still have secrets. Ha, this will drive him crazy.
August 25, 2007
Has it occured to you that it was the way you behaved and not the way you looked that made her think "mother".
Just a thought. Your description of events does make it sound like you might have been a little bit controlling/condesending. Not a lot, just a little
