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...

The CinemaI used to participate in a film quiz every week.
I was sat with a few friends and kept seeing this chap out of the corner of my eye.
After a while, it was bugging me, I KNEW him from somewhere, but I just couldn't think where from.
Eventually, I got so irritated that I went over and asked him if I knew him.
Him: Don't think we've met
Me: Do you live near St. Michaels station?
Him: Nope
Me: Did you work at so and so?
Him: Nope
Me: How on earth do I know you?
Him: I am an actor, you might have seen me on TV
He goes on to list some adverts and bit-parts in soaps. But I'm not much of TV person, so it didn't mean much.
Eventually......
Him: I've been doing a play recently too, at the Unity
*Ding*
Me: That's it! I saw that play
~~Brain Disengages - Mouth continues~~
Me says: I walked out half way through, thought it was dreadful
Me thinks: WTF am I saying.....make it better
Me says: You were the best thing in it though
He says (pointing to his quiz-team): Let me introduce you to the director, the writer and the lighting engineer.
Arse-biscuits!
The sequel to this story is that everywhere I went for about three months afterwards I saw him. The gym, the bus stop, the supermarket, bloody everywhere!
He must have thought I was stalking him, which must have been really weird.
Random girl approaches you, insults your profession, your friends and then follows you around everywhere?
Dammit!

StalkingWhy is it that after incidents like this, you always bump into the subject. At least outside you can hurl yourself into a hedge, when it's indoors you have to take that decision whether or not to greet, and usually end up doing that grin/wave thing that makes you look like a retarded pervert, and THEN you realise it's not the person you thought it was. No? just me then.

I know exactly what you meanThe only thing that made me feel better was telling everyone that he was stalking me.
