    But no-one saw and no one would ever know. It wasnt criminal or immoral and no man or beast suffered as a result.

    Should I feel a bit embarrassed or on this occasion do I get off scot-free? Is embarrassment purely linked to what we think others make of us?

    Emotionally Im feeling only a giddy sense of happiness due to the relief that I wasnt seen. That doesnt seem fair.

    Well that was exciting reading

    I think it's funny when you're the only one laughing, embarrassing when it's everyone else laughing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,008 ✭✭✭not yet


    He who laughs last and all that..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Just change your jocks and go about your business ffs :rolleyes:

    :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 260 ✭✭Franticfrank


    It cannot be embarrassing if nobody saw you do it. I would guess nobody here cares.

    why don't you tell us what you did then I can tell you if you should be embarrassed or not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 327 ✭✭dermiek


    You could always share it with your buddies on boards.

    Also, sounds like a thinly veiled "sometimes I'm a gobsh1te" thread.

    :pac:

    Kudos! Close enough to win it.


    Ok so not to be so vague about it. A situation evolved where the hero of the story was in the seated toileting position. When suddenly he could hear the gravy which he has sought to reheat, bubbling and popping about to boil over and make a nasty cooker top. Without ever fully leaving the toileting position due to a lack of time and proper planning our hero shuffled to the kitchen and moved the gravy off the hob. Before returning to aforementioned duties.

    Oh My God, if a neighbour had have stopped in in that instance. :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Shivers26


    Something nobody else saw or knows about (barring total strangers on the internet) happened in the privacy of your own home?

    Wouldn't even register on the embarrassing scale to be honest

    I can see how that would be very embarrassing, but not not nearly as much as it is, just fucking weird.

    Are we talking gravy granuals or real gravy made from real meat?

    Gravy granuals sounds bloody painful if it was a euphemism.

    I read it as the zucchini falling out of his trouser leg as he walked towards the door of the Dart

    Nothing embarrassing there. I once was on hold to Vodafone for ages and had to take dump, off i went and sat down, then Vodafone guy answers, i give details and while he waits for my info to appear on screen i unleash an unholy and clearly audible deluge into the porcelain. I wasn't expecting the ferocity and an uncontrollable groan of surprise and ecstasy comes from deep inside me. Vodafone guy was at a loss for words and began to stutter. I told him i would call back and hung up.

    I was on a phone-in quiz on CBBC when I was younger. They put me on hold for hours waiting, and I was bursting for a piss. I went and relieved myself when they began counting me in to being on air. I've never finished so quickly.

    When I saw this thread title I also thought it was about poo falling out of trouser legs. Strange.

    Delighted to see that it was, in fact, poo related.

    are you going tell us what happened?

    my ex, years ago.....

    her - i need to tell you something
    me - yes, what is it?
    her - ah, i better not
    me - okay
    her - I knew you wouldn't care
    me - what ? either tell me or don't, don't tell me you're going to tell me something and then not do it.
    her - i hate you sometimes.
    me - ? ? ?

    I dunno how i did it for as long as i did, id be in the doghouse for absolutely nothing.
    Dodged a bullet there.
    It's like saying you're going to chipper and asking someone do they want anything, they say yes, and you come back with nothing for them. And you get in a huff with them. It's mind boggling.

    You think thats bad? I was taking a dump one summer many a year ago. It was so hot outside that I had the window wide open, and in flew this aggressive f*cker of a wasp right as I was squeezing it out.

    Now I have a huge fear of wasps, so my first reaction was to bolt outta there! But the shíte was half hanging and there was no going back, but at the same time this wasp was bearing down on me.
    I stood up and kicked off my loose shorts as fast as I could, and ran out through the toilet door in a strange crab walk while I had me left hand cupped under me arse ready to catch the waiting bomb.

    So I stood outside the now closed toilet door, with no pants or underwear on, with a big shítee hanging outta me arse and into my hand thinking "fúck, im not going back in there!"

    Like a ninja, I made my way down the stairs to the other toilet to finish me business, making sure nobody saw me :cool: after that was done, and my hands were washed etc. I had to go back up to retrieve my pants! So I wraped the tiny handtowel around my crotch area, took off the rest of my clothes and proceeded to calmy walk back up the stairs proclaiming "Im taking a shower". :pac: It did the trick anyway, but I never did actually take that shower.

    15 minutes later I was all suited up, hoover in hand and was prepared for battle with that absolute bástard of a wasp.

    The End (true story)

    I had something really embarrassing happen to me that no one knows about. But I'll tell. It was a warm but breezy evening and the back door was open. I was getting dressed but was only wearing something very skimpy. For some reason I opened the front door and stepped out into the porch. It suddenly occurred to me that with both doors open and this wind it could slam shut and I'd be locked out. I had a shivery feeling of excitement and fear at the thought.

    Then it happened. I was locked out barely dressed and in daylight. There was only one solution I had to run out of the garden up the street round the back lane and get in the back door. This I did heart in my mouth. By some miracle I met no one and fell in the back door with huge relief.

    Apparently no one saw me and I got away with it. Before now no one in the world knew about it. Now you all know! I'm going redfaced thinking about it.

    At least you had the decency to tell him you would call back; and did not just hang up without warning.

    Well done Sir you have restored my faith in polite society, while also giving me a bloody good laugh.

    Reminds me of my wife going out the other night, we had ordered the cab and went downstairs to wait for it when suddenly she decided she didn't want to go out.

    I said "of course you're going out!"

    "No I don't want to go out now!"

    "OK so, we'll go back up home" (just as the cab arrives)

    "OK I'll go out so!"

    "Good stuff"

    (We all jump in the cab, we've an eight year old child so I wasn't leaving him at home on his own while I dropped my wife off to the pub. I was minding him that night).

    We get out to the pub and suddenly she looks at the door and goes "Ah no, I don't want to go in now".

    It's lucky the car was dark and nobody could see me about to pop a blood vessel! :D

    I turned round, "We're not coming back out now if we go home now!".

    Drove home, got in the door, she turns round and goes "You were forcing me to go out!".

    Dodged a bullet MJ? Looks like I got a whole six-shooters worth! :pac:


    As for embarrassing moments when I thought nobody saw me-

    Me having a quick after-school tug when my mother passed by my bedroom window on her way to the clothes line...

    At 12 years of age, ya just never think to close the damn curtains first! :o
