Cringe!Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."
Tell us your cringeworthy stories of embarrassment. Go on, you're amongst friends here...

PJ HarveyI was at a PJ Harvey gig at Bristol Uni Anson Rooms in 1992. This was during her "Rid of Me" stage and the music was, to say the least, heavy and raw. Intense.
She, basically, rocked, and it was a fantastic gig. She performed songs off her debut and Rid of Me and it was amazing. But one thing was spoiling it. Whilst dressed austerely in black t-shirt and leggings, with a similarly clad backing band, Peej was wearing a pair of bright pink Elton John sunglasses.
It was distracting me from the power of her performance.
So, after a particularly traumatic renditionof Rub Till It Bleeds, I shouted, "Take those glasses off! They make you look like Woody Allen!"
Silence.
Then Peej hissed, in a voice of ice, "Thank. You."
I wished the Earth would open up and devour me.
(She took them off a couple of songs later though)
Sorry Peej... if its any consolation you still rule, and White Chalk is your best album yet.
