Topic: CRINGE STORIES

[siwan]

Ok, we ve all been in embarrassing/ funny/ cringy situations and if you would have been caught on film may have been seen on a you ve been framed kind of programme.
Now I thought it would be entertaining to hear some of your tales which will put a smile/ cringe on people 's faces. Similar to Father Lloydie's confessions but not actually needing the forgiveness!!
Go on then- write if you dare!!

I'll start with a tame one.
My car has a very temperamental alarm system as some of you may have already heard during training sessions.
Last night, as I left the dojo I went into the car and as I turned on the ignition the key broke, leaving just the stick in, and the black alarm system broken. Now the alarm started to go mental, and I had no choice as the engine was running just to drive home. The alarm continued to sound and flash its lights every 8 seconds and by pressing one of the buttons, it would stop it for  until the next 8 seconds was up. I travelled all the way home, flashing and alarming with passing cars turning their heads as I passed. Fortunaltely it was starting to get dark so would not have seen me driving!!

During a recent wedding, I was cringeing in my seat in this chapel when the alarm started to go off  in my car. Even if I unlocked the cae it would still sound, and every 2 minutes or so it would go off, and  I had to point the key toward the direction of the car and it would stop briefly.
As if this wasnt enough, my boyfriend's phone also went off during the vicar 's speech, and he was onee of the ushers!!! ooops!!

Are you suggesting this could be a long thread?

Some of these will definitely involve thongs, won't it Julian?

come on you shy people - I know that you ve all got some story to tell, don't be afraid of looking a plonker.

I'm going to post my cringe stories now ... and NO it has nothing to do with thongs 

Story 1
A few years ago, I was down in Cardiff and stayed in the Angel Hotel, which if you don't know it, is a very respectable hotel.
Anyway, I must have had a funny mixture of drinks that night. I woke up to go to the little boys room, but on the way back to bed I must have taken the wrong door.
I awoke (or came alert) to the sound of the door banging behind me.... and I was standing in the corridor... naked and without my contact lenses.
Luckily for me, it was around 2 or 3 in the morning, so there wasn't anyone around, but it meant i had to shout down the stairs to reception (as i could see blurry shapes moving around). After a bit of time, a man (thankfully) came up from reception,  and opened the door for me, but very embarassing.

Actually, I've done this before as well now that I come to mention it.

story 2 (similar)
When I got married, we stayed at the Hilton hotel near manchester airport before going away
As we were on our honeymoon, we ordered room service for an evening meal and they bought the food up and told us to leave the trolley outside afterwards.
After finishing- both of us took the trolley and trays outside the door.
Yes... the door shut behind us... and again I was not wearing much at all, just my boxer shorts - again not sure why, maybe it was late.

Bethan, was a bit better off and had her top and trousers on (no shoes though)- so she had to go to reception to get another pass key, while i hid in the corridor

Cathedral Road.

C'mon, practically lived opposite for 2yrs.

Colloquially known as the “knocking shop”.

As part of my work, I conduct mental health act assessments, and one particular day I was visiting a very unwell person, and somehow persuaded her to come with me to hospital. We were travelling to the hospital in my car and she started rumaging through the side of the the passenger door. Suddenly she pulled out from the side panel a pair of fluffy handcuffs, (which were a cops n robs fancy dress theme a few months before) and said "oh, these will do very handy for me and my husband". (she had the delusional belief of having a husband). Anyway I couldn't say anything when she grabbed the handcuffs and took them with her as we approached the psychiatric unit. As she was expected by the staff there, they were waiting for us to arrive ,and she shouted out- "Look what I've been given by the social worker".
A few of the staff rasied their eyebrows and I had a few smirks and knowing nodds as well as we carried on with admitting her!!
