I was once mistaken for Pierce Brosnan. Most embarrassing, as I was trying to leave the Casino in Zurich surreptitiously, given I'd just scored with two supermodels and the Papparazzi managed to trace the registration plate on my Aston Martin to my country pad in Hertfordshire...
It got worse when I was given the Presidential Suite at the Baur au Lac in Bern in preference to Nelson Mandela...
Etc.
Originally posted by CoconutIn my first Spanish lesson at high school I started to daydream. The teacher cottoned onto this and asked me a question "Cuantos anos tienes Jimmy!?". My friend nudged me and pointed to the writing on the blackboard "Tengo doce anus" I replied. Everyone in the class room was in fits of laughter, incuding the tutor. 🙂
Once in spanish class I accidentally said "I eat my mother" (Como mi mama)?
Meant to say I help her.
I posted one of my embarassing moments before. Oh well. I don't want to type it out again. I'll copy & paste if I can find it

I made a spelling mistake in my first dictation at school. (I wrote "Die Ampel ist Rot" instead of "Die Ampel ist rot".) It was a traumatic experience.
First dictation, German school... hmm, 2nd grade or something? And let me guess, you still got an A, right? But I know what you mean, I'm embarrassed too when I do that kinda thing... dictation was the only thing in German where I ever got As 😉
Most embarrasing?
I wrestled in high school and we had to carry our wrestling mats in and
out the gym where the girls basketball team practiced. It took about 8
or so guys to carry one of these mats...... and I was carrying one,
when a fellow wrestler decided to de-pants me infront of the whole
Girl Basketball team. Now, I couldn't drop the mat and pick up my shorts
b/c that would have caused the whole mat to drop. So I had to carry
the whole mat with the other guys in my boxers all the way across the
gym.
I did get the prick back though. 🙂
Originally posted by angie88I am not sure whether it was 1st or 2nd grade (I guess either end of 1st or beginning of 2nd). I am pretty sure it was before we got marks, but we got smilies. And I think I only got a smiley with a straight mouth, but I could be wrong. In any case I was quite devastated. 😉
