Making a total tit of yourself in front of complete strangers

When did you last do this? Why is it so much more embarassing than making an arse of yourself in front of people you know?

I overslept a bit this morning and ended up having to get a later train than normal. I got into the station and realised that said train was sitting at the platform, looking absolutely rammed. I ran the length of the platform to get to the hopefully emptier rear carriages and pressed the door opening button. The door didn't open. I pressed it again. The door still didn't open. I started pressing the button frantically. People inside the train were staring at me. People on the platform were staring at me.

Then I took my earphones off and heard the announcement "the train at Platform 3 will not be stopping at this station".

More tales of abject foolishness here please.

Tee hee:

"making a tit of yourself in front of strangers"

If you could fly would you drop things on bad people's head? Like peanuts and small coins?

I can't remember, for myself. Probably the last time I got pwned online, whenever that was.

Umm, is that you recommending C-man threads, there?

I constantly do this whenever I remember something embarrassing- I flinch and make a verbal exclamation. I was on the train by myself the other day and I saw an aquarium and said 'Fish!' really loudly in a shocked voice.

No, I did not trip on that paving stone: I just started running FOR THE HELL OF IT.

No, I didn't like the look of it so I CHASED IT AWAY FROM THE BUS-STOP!

going up to someone at a supermarket and asking them where, say, the pasta sauce aisle is and being abruptly told, 'meester i don work here'. as i did last week.

"No, I did not just fall off my chair" vs "I just wanted to show you this building, now lets go and take the other turning in the road back there."

Also, anyone who's ever been in a band to thread.

My band was playing last night and i left my hat in the dressing room thing and this support band (who were about 15) were trying on my hat in the mirror when i went back in. So i walk past and laugh and after i put something in my bag i walk back and say "Suits you, man" and steal the hat back (but nearly fell over in the process) and one of the other band members goes "what do you think your doing", at which point i explain that the hat is mine.

Also this morning i put the petrol cap on the roof of the car and reversed to a different petrol dispensing machine and it went flying off and hit another car.
