When I was in high school there were several building which were connected with metal canopies with columns spaced about 12 to 15 feet apart. I was walking toward the school and fully taking in a very attractive young lady getting out of her car in the parking lot. Needless to say I was not watching where I was walking and ran full tilt into one of the canopy columns which rattled from end to end and drew everyone's attention, to the fool who ran into the column, including the girl I was watching.
:embarrassed:

Now that's a compliment when you can distract a guy so much they walk straight into something. :D
 
lol that sort of thing has happened to me before, I was walk through a parking lot and was watching was someone else was doing so closely, that I turned my head forward just in time to smash face first into a street light post, very painful and embarrassing.
 
That sort of same thing happened to me. Difference is i was walking with a guy i liked a lot. We were having so much fun joking around, we didn't see a metal signpost and i bumped my head on it with a loud bang! Everyone looked at me and i was so embarrassed :willy_nilly:
 
I have the embarressing/hilarious habit of tripping over tree roots when hiking. I'm talking full out body plants. :ninja I've also ridden my bike into parked cars on three separate occasions because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. The first time I was looking behind me and shouting something at my sister. The second time my gears were giving me problems so I was very intently focussed on my bike chain. I got a pretty good bruise out of that one. The third time it was very windy and I had my head turned to the side to keep my hat from blowing off. :ninja

Bicycles are dangerous. When I came along no one had even heard of a bicycle helmet. I was racing a friend of mine out of the grocery store parking lot and I ended up spread eagle on the hood of an old couple's white car with my nose rubbing the windshield.:eek
 
I was talking to Jim and walking along between cars.. I turned my head because he said something funny and I walked into a handicap parking sign...

I was walking into the gym one day without my glasses on because I rubbing my nose... walked into the door..... it was open and I walked into it...

I went to get out of the car last April and it was icy but I thought I was ok.. went to take a step... both feet slid out from under me and I went sprawling face first onto the icy pavement and my body went right under the car up to my butt... I went to stand and fell again, this happened 3 more times... till I got back in the car and drove home..... my shoulder still hurts from that day...

I was wearing heels one day while out visiting my aunt and went to walk across a stone path.. my foot went one way the heel with another and I went sprawling face first and landed with a thud... just as the school bus was dropping off my young cousin they all saw my stunning display of grace. .

I can so relate except the wearing heels part. I hate icy walkways.

Ice is the bane of my existence! :willy_nilly: A couple of years ago it was really cold one evening and I was hurrying across the street to my car. My hands were in my pockets because I wasn't wearing gloves and it was -40C. Just before I got to my car I hit an ice patch and wiped out HARD. Because my hands were in my pockets I couldn't break my fall with my hands and I landed square on my lower back/tail bone and knocked my elbows pretty good too. I just lay there gasping for a few seconds because it hurt so bad. Then I realized that there was another car approaching and it started to slow down. My pride forced me to struggle to my feet and make my way to my car. I got in and just sat there for awhile. Words cannot describe how much that hurt. I think I chipped/fractured my right elbow too. That happened less than a year after I'd been run over (literally) by a horse and my lower back had just gotten back to where it was feeling normal again. I hate ice. :ninja
 
Nov. 2008.. around 23 weeks preggy.. I went to go outside and no cared to put salt on our door step... I thought someone would have been nice enough to put some salt down.. but no... first step out the door I go flying feet up in the air and landed flat on my back on the 3 steps to the drive way.. Smacked my head, screwed up my wrist and back and was taken by ambulance to the hospital cuz I was in so much pain I couldn't take myself.....

Aww girlie I feel your pain!
 
I took my little brother skating when we lived in Dublin (GA, not Ireland, LOL) and got on skates for the first time in about 10 years. I did good for a while, but when trying to take a corner I didn't navigate it quite as well as I had tried to and I ran slam into a friend of my brother's. There we both are, laying on the skating rink floor shaking our heads and going "WTF just happened???" It was horrible.
 
Some of you might not think this was an embarrassing situation.... but I did.

Hubby and I and several friends were at a bar in a strange town (we were staying up north for the holidays together). The bar was sort of connected to the motel, restaurant, and pool table lounge areas. They had live entertainment. That night, there was a group of guys in a band. They were pretty good. Never heard of them. (Still haven't!)

Anyway.... There I was.... drinking.... feeling pretty good.... along with everyone else at the table and in the bar. The band was playing their first set and I sort of remember watching the lead singer. He was pretty good. I offered all my attention. We made eye contact.... it was a small bar..... and I'd smile and he'd smile and his eyes would move on.

They played a second set awhile later..... I was most likely on my fifth drink.... along with everyone else at the table and in the bar.

When they finished.... he came over to our table... my table.... right next to me and introduced himself. To me. I told him my name..... then I remembered the others at my table.... and he shook hands with the guys and stuff..... He pulled up a chair and I started to ask him questions. I felt like a damn reporter or something. Did I mention he was a very good singer.... and nice to look at too? Ahem.....

Anywho.... About 15 minutes into my 'interview' with him.... he took my hand and tapped my wedding ring. Our eyes met.

He asked me if he had read my 'signals' wrong. I was like WHAT? Signals? All I did was give him my undivided attention while he was doing his 'thing'. I mean.... I was feeling the heat now! I blushed so hard I'm sure it was like a neon light!

I pulled my hand away and said... Happily Married Here. Sorry about whatever you think you saw.

He wasn't mad. He laughed and said you can't win them all! And then he was gone.

Hubby asked what that was all about. Good thing the bar was loud. Whatever I told hubby seemed to be just fine with him.

Man! Sometimes being a flirt is hard..... particularly when you didn't realize you were doing it. Damn alcohol. ;)
