I love these stories!!

I have another one...I was new to my job (so this was 19 years ago) and I had treated myself to a morning cup of coffee at Starbucks. Getting out of my car was a mess; I had my purse & a laptop bag slung over one shoulder, a cup of coffee in that hand, and my keys in my other hand. As I was locking my car, my laptop bag slipped down to my elbow. Not thinking, I raised my arm above my head to slip the strap back up to my shoulder...and POURED COFFEE all over myself. I don't know what I was thinking. (Obviously NOT MUCH)

I borrowed a sweater to cover it up but it only hid so much. I spent the whole day feeling extremely stupid and self-conscious because I was covered in coffee stains. Just thinking about it now makes me want to crawl under my desk!! Fortunately, I think anybody who saw me that day has quit or retired since then, LOL.
