Don't Be Embarrassed! But If You Are, Post Here!

AllyOops! · 09-06-2006, 01:31 PM

This Thread topic was inspired by People Magazine. A few months ago, they asked celebrities what the most embarrassing song was on their Ipod, and it was way entertaining to read! So, it got me thinking about embarrassing songs on my own Ipod. Sure, we should celebrate our unique tastes & always be proud of our individuality, but admit it- no matter how confident, we all own that one CD we tend to "hide" when someone comes over or rides in our car! Are you the person who is more then eager to display your U2 collection, but somehow you accidentally kick your cherished Best Of Tony Orlando & Dawn under the bed?

What is the most embarrassing...

*Song on your Ipod? If you don't own an Ipod, then what CD or cassette?
*Item of clothing that you own or still keep in your closet?
*Thing you've done on a date?
*Item you've purchased in a store?

And for those wanting extra brownie points...
*Sexual experience that you've had?

You don't have to answer all of the questions, but it's much more fun if you do! The shy need not apply- unless they're feeling brave!

Ready, set, post! I'll answer mine shortly...

Hmm, on the iPod it would probably be New World Record by Electric Light Orchestra.

No embarassing purchases, but most embarassing retail moment was when I worked at Tower Records and I had to run Gordon Getty's AMEX card for approval. He was non-plussed, I was dying, and everyone else in line was howling. Then there was Robin Williams late one night wanting to know why a $35 CD set was not cheaper and he refused to pay for it. Not really embarassing, but caught him on a bad night, obviously. Unless he was snorting it, $$ at that point should not have been an issue for him.

On a date, leaving with someone else, I think that would fit. Bad form on my part, some might say, but the guy was a pig, good looking, but a pig nonetheless. Running into him in the hallway the next day was embarassing.

*Song on your Ipod? If you don't own an Ipod, then what CD or cassette?
I actually don't own it, but I enjoy and listen to "How do you talk to an angel?" whenever it's on the radio. GAH!

*Item of clothing that you own or still keep in your closet?
A lace dress that looks like I took it off of a Victorian-era corpse. (But I still love it!)

*Thing you've done on a date?
After the spending the day with a boyfriend at a comic book convention, he took me to a restaurant to meet some of his co-workers. I had to run to the bathroom to puke and then he had to drive me home early. It was some kind of migraine/flu combo. Terrible.

*Item you've purchased in a store?
A "toy".

And for those wanting extra brownie points...
*Sexual experience you've had?
Was also the most humiliating and unfunny, so I'll just leave it at that...

* Well, it's not on my iPod, but I do own Queen's News of the World, which gets a lot of flack I guess.

* I still have a drawer full of tighty whiteys, even though I've long since switched to boxer briefs

* I dislocated CP's knee

* Jock itch spray

* See third answer above

katiesue · 09-06-2006, 02:02 PM

Well hmmm- I have tons of embarassing cd's

Almost all of Rick Springfield's CD's

Tony Orland and Dawn's Greatest Hits

Lord It's Hard to be Humble by Mac Davis

Modern Talking

Item of clothing - pink polka dot mini-skirt circa 1982. And my fave Esprit Sweatshirt.

Thing I've done on a date - oh so many choices. I'd have to say the worst was an overall horrific evening when I was a sophmore. Guy voted cutest guy in school, asked me to his senior prom. I still think he must have lost a bet but anywho. I was of course terrified therefore probably speechless the entire evening. I had to wear my 8th grade graduation dress as it was the only formal I owned, now two inches too short, with my yo-yo shoes - classy no? My hair only stayed curled on one side and I had braces. Oh yea the picture of elegance. The at the resturant my best friends mother was our waitress so constantly poped up making wink-wink comments. I don't even rememeber dancing actually, which is probably a good thing. Oh and before I left my mother decided it was time for "the talk". Which consisted of telling me to "fake an allergy attack" if anything happened. Needless to say it was our one and only date.

Item purchased at a store - not really embarassing but every darned time I pick up my 6-pack of TAB I get "oh they still make this?"

Sexual experience - well to be honest no actual sex occured, hence the embarassing part. But in a hot tub when the guys friends came barging in to "resuce" him (apparently first time with a girl). We're naked. Someone flips on all the lights, one of them strips and jumps in with us. Yea. Oh and some other kind soul decided to throw us our clothes, while we were still sitting in the water. Thank god high school only lasted 4 years.

*Song on your Ipod? If you don't own an Ipod, then what CD or cassette?

Oh, there are tons...but I guess the most embarrassing song I own would be Rico Suave by Gerardo. It actually appeared on a compilation disc, and I don't really enjoy the song, but the rest of the CD was too good to pass up.

*Item of clothing that you own or still keep in your closet?

I have a pair of green jeans that I got back in '98 that still fit.

*Thing you've done on a date?

Went out drinking with a girl...promptly got plastered...walked into wall six times.

*Item you've purchased in a store?

Maybe it's just me that feels this way, but whenever I go clothes shopping, I feel embarrassed buying underwear. I don't really want the world to know whether I prefer boxers or briefs, so I always hide them at the bottom of my cart, and if there's a self-checkout, I use that rather than go through the cash...yeah...I'm weird.

And, I choose not to answer the last question...not enough experience.

Capt Jack · 09-06-2006, 02:19 PM

MP3: Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual that or Enya - Deora Ar Mo Chroi..if only cuz it makes me weep like a boob when I hear it....and I havent a clue what its about.

wardrobe: geez, most of my clothes are pretty embarassing...

dating: how about being mui boracho and uh...recycling on the lady in front of me at the now infamous "Barf Brooks" concert. yeah, that was pretty mortifying.

purchase: my first purchase of condoms. (I think I was about 15 or so) the old guy I'd known forever behind the counter was givin me the evil-eye the whole time 'you DO know what these are for, dontcha son?'

sexual experience: first attempted use of the above mentioned item.

*Song on your Ipod?
It's not on my ipod, but somewhere in the depths of my CD collection is the soundtrack for "Drive Me Crazy," starring Adrian Grenier and that chick from Clarissa Explains It All. (I know her real name, I just prefer to call her that.)

*Item of clothing that you own or still keep in your closet?
I still own my yellow prom dress from 1996! But it's in my parents' closet. Vintage picture!!

*Thing you've done on a date?
Digestive bathroom trouble in a not-soundproofed bathroom after a particularly active and exciting day together.

*Item you've purchased in a store?
My first buzzer. The second, third, and fourth were no trouble at all.

*Sexual experience that you've had?
Learning that, at climax, I SING!
