I was so embarrased when...

[Pekka]

Too much negativity for last few weeks.. it's the fall guys, dark and cold and rainy here... always gets people down like myself. But it's now gone, and we should move into more positive things, like the things you were so embarrased you wanted to disappear!

Time to tell strories of your embarrasing moments!

Few hours ago, I got my laundry from the washing machine (which is shared in this building). I had left them there to have it do its work and returned to notice someone was in the sauna. I know few people from this building, and I swear I heard my buddies name so I just busted in. It's not that I just busted in only to see I don't know these people, it was also that I thought it would be funny to 'raid' the sauna.

So, I sneaked next to the door, and when they were laughing I thought 'this is the moment, perfect!' and ripped the door open and shouted 'ANAL POLICE!' in Finnish and had my finger pointing like a gun.. like in Charlies Angels pose.. I took that one. Not the tough cop pointing gun, only shouting tough but getting that pose the angels do. So it was only appropriate that the laughing stopped like it was a car crash.
They were like wtf just happened, and I apologizes and made a nervous laugh 'hehe', and shut the door, got my clothes from the washing machine and walk fast to my place. I still don't know who those two guys were, except that I don't want to see them any time soon to avoid embarrasing moment. But in a way it was fun.

What about you?

there is a tape somewhere of me drunk showing off my d!ck in some party. I think it's going to bite me in the ass if I go into politics.

[Pekka]

and I wouldn't normally do this, but this is a building where most/all people are students, so you can do stupid stuff like that and never get responsible for it .
And I was 110% SURE it was my friend inside. I guess you can never be too sure, uh? ANyway, enough about that, tell your moments.

[Pekka]

Azazel, I'm sure it will! Though I'm sure most people have done stupid things and caught in tape....

A couple of months ago I was walking back to work after lunch and these English people stopped me and asked me how to get to the Empire State Building. I told them I would show them the way to the subway station that would take them there, and proceeded to do so while engaging in friendly chit-chat and pointing out some of the historical buildings. They were most grateful and seemed like really nice people. Unfortunately, after getting back to work I realized I had taken them to the wrong station.

I was talking to myself out loud about how I shouldn't be talking to myself out loud, but at least there wasn't anyone around to hear me or see me doing it. Then I looked up and there was my neighbor, sitting on her porch, watching me tell myself not to talk to myself out loud, but wasn't it a good thing that there wasn't anyone around to hear me.

Pekka!

What's "Anal Police" in Finnish? Anaalipoliisi? Anapolis?

A friend of mine had just gotten his first e-mail account when he entered University in 1992. Back then it was based on a WAX or whatever that was a little harder to learn than graphical interface. He was training by sending spam to another friend, numerous mails within an hour about how drunk they were last weekend, the nasty details from porno movies he had seen and what chicks they had banged recently. The problem was, he was just assuming his buddie's mail adress had the similar structure as his own (xfamilyname@abo.fi). But that adress was already taken by a professor at the Political Science Department.

The day after, my buddy got a mail from the admin that he should change his password, as someone had obviously hacked into his account and used it to harrass a professor.

[Pekka]

Anaalipoliisi, exactly. Saunas are perfect to attack. No one expects you. Friends that is, only crazy people attack strange saunas.

Good story btw

I have no embarrassing moments

[Urban Ranger]

One day when I was having lunch in a restaurant, I thought I saw my SO with some of her friends. So I decided to sneak up beside her to give her a little surprise (It'd be a deadly endeavour, but what the hey). Anyway, so wandered toward where they were sitting nonchalantly, being careful not to raise any alarm. So, after a century or two I eventually got into position. At which point I put both of my hands on her shoulders from behind and said, "Surprise!"

It was a surprise as I scared the bejesus outta her. But it was a wrong "her."

I spend a fair amount of time alone most days, and talk to myself from time to time. What happened to you happens to me fairly often, though rarely have I just been addressing my tendency to talk to myself when overheard.

[Ben Kenobi]

Same here. If I'm walking alone, I talk to myself pretty much constantly.

Oh... kay...

backs slowly out of thread.

[Provost Harrison]

The more anecdotes I hear like the top one, the more confident I am that Finns are the strangest people on the planet...
