embarassing, yes....
a while back while visiting relatives i had never met before, my mom and i stayed with one of her sisters, who has a nice little balcony with a really clean sliding glass door.
its hot as hell and humid in the area so i head to the lovely balcony... but i didnt realise that the door was closed, it was -that- clean. i hit the door with my face at full stride in front of all these people, fell on the floor in shock while bleeding from my poor nose, and laughed my ass off.

and to boot, 10 minutes later my dear mother does the same thing... yes she walks into those pristine sliding glass doors as well.

another funny one... involving a kindly cop last fall.
it was raining like hell on a school day and of course i had to park in the lot across the street from the campus. a really nice cop drove by and offered me a ride to the building which i gladly took. i go to get in his car when i smack myself on the forehead with the pointy corner of his car door. he holds back a giggle as i writhe in pain and asks me if i was alright. of course i was, its just a little bump.... but as i was walking the hall to the classroom i could feel this little bump getting bigger.
i went through the 1 hour and 45 minute class as normally as possible and after i got out i headed to the restrooms to find that this little bump grew to golfball sized proportions, it grew scrapes somehow, and it was a really nasty shade of purple. that thing lasted for at least 2 weeks.
... and my parents almost died laughing when they heard about it
