I was a Safety coordinator for my last job and we had a company come in to work on the roof. They would not wear fall protection. So I took a piece of chalk up to the roof and handed to one guy and asked him if he and another person could go down on the pavement and do a chalk outline of his body. He looked at me in confusion and I explained that I would be to busy calling the ambulance to do it when he fell off the roof. Never had a problem with that company after that.

I was always very very bad in math... and go figure... my son was always very very good in math (and with computers)... the first computer we bought (he was six) the clerk stopped talking to me (as I was like a deer in headlights) and continued the conversation with my six year old son as he was nodding and asking the clerk questions... so one day when he was in middle school and I was subbing in his class (OMG... they were doing a math assignment) a student asked sweetly "could you help me with this problem" my son recognizing the "deer in headlights" said "hey, yeah Mom... help (name) with her math" and he grinned... trying to avoid being embarrassed I asked the girl "what do you usually do when you cant figure out a problem" ... she said "(my son's name) helps us"... he was all smiles and giggles.

I picked up my granddaughter from school one day and she was talking about learning about "wants & needs" so I asked her for some examples. She says... I may want a juice but I need water, or I may want candy but I need a piece of fruit, I may want makeup but at your age you need makeup. Darn near wrote her out of my will on that one!

Several years ago when I lived alone, I went to visit my sister, 22 miles from home. As we were playing cards, her cell phone rang. She looked at it, and whispered "It's coming from your home phone!". She answered, and being the loyal sister she is, she yelled into the phone "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU BETTER GET OUT OF MY SISTER'S HOUSE RIGHT NOW! I'M CALLING THE POLICE!" after several seconds she heard "meow?". I had left my cordless phone on the bed, buttons up, and my cat Bruno, had stepped on the redial button! We had to drop everything, and drive to my house to hang up the phone. (My sister was a long distance call from my house!) That call cost me almost $10! Needless to say, I never left the phone of the charger again! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Jerks!! I was humiliated.....this story pops up every now and again during our summer camp outs because we are all still friends.....
This just made you unforgetable!
Another time I was depanced on the trampoline during high school....my short were a bit to big and one of the tall guys at the side of the trampoline pulled them down at just the right time ...so I was in my underwear in front of everyone because he had my shorts in his hands....
Humilation once again!
I experienced trauma during those high school years! I never wore those shorts again!
Again that story comes up quite often and camp outs and reunions.
Nobody can remember the positive things..only the really humliating things. oh well.

Never going to make that mistake again!
