My 5 Most Embarrassing Shopping Moments

September 19, 2008 · Filed Under · 5 Comments 

Time for a little Friday levity! This week has been way too serious for me. It started on Monday with some minor surgery on my 6-year old son (he is fine and back at school BTW), and just never really picked up any momentum after that. Looking forward to a weekend of doing absolutely nothing! So to get the weekend started early with a little levity, I have come up with my 5 most embarrassing shopping moments.  If you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Granted some are not exactly “shopping” mishaps per say, but what can I say, I was desperate to finish the list! Drumroll please…..

1- Once when I was a kid I ordered a Whopper at a McDonald’s restaurant. Unlike the picture below, I was completely sober and remember wanting to dig a hole with a spork and bury myself in it.

2- When I was a teenager I decided I didn’t need to pay for some baseball cards. Not a good idea, I am still not allowed back into a certain Kmart in Capitola, CA. The embarrassment alone was enough to teach me a lesson!

3- Once I didn’t realize I had left my wallet at home until I was all the way at the front of the line at a very busy grocery store. To my credit I did come back and reclaim my abandoned shopping cart.

4- Once, in my horizontally challenged days, I split a pair of Old Navy jeans right down the crotch and butt while trying them on. You think I would have realized they didn’t fit when I had to lay on the floor to get them over my legs. :-)

5- And last but not least, a couple years ago I was grocery shopping with 2 of my kids and was so busy keeping them in line that I crashed the cart into a Super Bowl party end-cap display and knocked over countless bags of Frito Lay potato chips, bean dip, and six packs of Pepsi. I still remember all the dirty looks I got from the mess I made and the ZERO help from people stading around……but not to worry, I have a photographic memory. I will find you all some day and exact my revenge!

That was only slightly humiliating. Feel free to add your most embarrassing moment! Don’t worry, I will keep it between us. Have a great weekend!

    Wow. #5 has happened to me but I got helped. Then again, I’m a young female in distress which might help.

    One of my favorite embarrassing moments that happened to someone else was when my best friend in college insisted on sliding down a wood banister despite my suggestions otherwise and a splinter tore the entire back of his pants off. Fortunately, he had a hoodie and tied it around his waste, but I still giggle remembering the moment when the dreadful tearing sound happened.

    Unfortunately, I still get too embarrassed about my own dumb moments to want to hink about them.

    my embarrassing moment happened last night, at the supermarket.

    I was the last person left on the floor, as it was almost 10pm and closing time… and I heard a young man, the very type you’d imagine to be a delinquent, talk into a micro mike by his collar saying “i’m the only one left, besides two employees and a client” …. I worried about what the intentions were behind such information.. and went to the till. “I’ve closed, please pay your purchases on the lower floor” “Thank you but it’s actually beacuse there’s a young man here who’s been talkingto someone saying that he’s alone besides two employees and a client here and I’m uncertain so as to the reasons for it, i’m afraid he might intend to shop lift” “AH, well it’s all pretty normal actually, he’s an employee”

    needless to say i left my things and aimed straight for the exit, nevermind about the purchases….
