[If at some point you should do something really stupid and embarassing like  
forwarding someone else's private mail to a whole bunch of people on an email  
mailing list, keep in mind that you're not alone...  -psl]

The following are the first three winners of a Most Embarrassing Moment's
Contest in New Woman Magazine.


    "It was Christmas Eve, and I was on my feet all day working behind the
cosmetics counter.  I decided I would find a place to sit for a moment.
 I spied a tall plastic trash can and plopped down, resting my feet on
a cardboard box.  I allowed my body to ease into the can.
    About that time a few customers came to the register to check out, but I
couldn't get out of the trash can.  I was stuck; I couldn't believe it.
    The customers came around the counter to help me - some pulled my arms
while others held the can.  Then my  manager came to the counter,
wanting to know what was going on.  He said he was going to call the
fire department, who blasted in with sirens and lights.  My hips had
created a vacuum, so they had to cut me out of the trash can with a
giant pair
of scissors."

 "While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release
some pent-up energy and ran amok.  I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving *righ now*, she would be
punished.

To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as
threatening, 'If you don't let me go *right now*,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
    "The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
 Even the tellers stopped what they were doing!  I mustered up the last of
my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
    The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were  screams of
laughter"
           -Amy Richardson; Stafford,Virginia

    "It was the day before my eighteenth birthday.  I was living at home,
but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my girlfriend
over for a romantic night alone. As we lay in bed after making love, we
heard the telephone ring downstairs.  I suggeste to my girlfriend that
I give her a piggyback ride to the phone.  Since we didn't want to miss
the call, we didn't have time to get dressed.

    When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on
and a whole crowd of people yelled, 'SURPRISE!'  My entire family -
aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins - and all my friends were standing
there!  My girlfriend and I were frozen in a state of shock and
embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity.
    "Since then, no one in my family has planned a surprise party again."
           -Tim Cahill; Poughkeepsie, New York
