What is your most embarrassing moment?

Okay, so I want to hear everyone most ambarrassing moment. You can comment anonomously if you wish.
Priding myself on being an open book, I thought I'd share.

Those who know me know that I am very hard to embarrass. It seems as if it is almost impossible...or so I thought...

This happened last year at the Gay and Lesbo Center. My friend Guy was facilitating a meeting and invited me to attend. I figured it'd be a good way to meet new people so I sat in on his meeting.

Well, just before the meeting was about to start, I figured it'd be a good time to use the restroom to take a pee.

I walked in to find a crowded bathroom. People were at the sinks, urinals etc. So, I stepped up to the urinal and began to pee. I knew the meeting was about to start so I had to hurry. I pushed my pee out as fast as I could and in doing so I unintentionally let out this huge fart.

Have you ever farted really loud in a public bathroom? With all those tile walls and floors it sounds 10 times louder than it should!

I freaked out and in mid-pee there was nothing for me to do! I looked around and felt like Charlotte from Sex and the City. I apologized outloud saying "Oh, oh my god! I'm sorry." Even though it was embarrassing and I must have turned a lovely shade of red #5, I was laughing inside.

But the story doesn't quite end there...

I left the bathroom after quickly washing my hands and went to the meeting room. I was the first one in (minus Guy) and as the members of the group came in to sit down I noticed most of them were the ones in the bathroom that heard my anal explosion!

I turned to Guy and whispered in his ear "I have to go."

He asked what was wrong and I told him. He began to laugh.

I wanted to leave because no longer was I the "New guy let's get to know him." I was now knows as "The guy that farted in the bathroom."

He convinced me to stay and thankfully no one made any comments (not to me anyway).

So there you have it. I know those of you who know me are probably thinking "It wasn't The Pottery Barn Incident" (as it became known as). But no, that was a private event, so THIS fart incident was indeed my most embarrassing.

Okay, so now that I fessed up. What are YOUR most embarrassing moments?
