My 5 Most Embarrassing Shopping Moments

September 19, 2008 · Filed Under ·  

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.
