One time, I only took half a Xanax and it completely put me on my ass. Now that's embarrassing. Also, the only drug that can have such an effect on me like that.

Once I was eating Chinese food with the container on my lap. Sauce had been slowly leaking out the entire time and I didn't notice. When I stood up, it looked like I had just experienced a miscarriage.

I don't know if this one is embarrassing or just awkward. Once a resident's obviously hipster grandson was visiting, and while he was still in the room, the patient called me in and asked me to explain polyamory.

Once we had a barbecue for the employees for safety week or something like that. So someone had brought in this hand held bug zapper that looks like a tennis racquet. I really wanted to mess with it, but management was keeping it away from me. So I waited until after five when there were less people in the building and found one manager who handed it over. So I sat down on the floor and touched my palm to the surface. Nothing happened.
Then I licked my pinky and inserted it through the grid. There was a super loud cracking sound and a blue light. I was so surprised that I toppled over backwards into the hallway and knocked over a bunch of folded up chairs just as transport was bringing in a new patient.

Recently, a married black couple were visiting the woman's father. They were out on the smoking patio conversing with me and all of the other residents. The wife was not fat, but was shapely although she had a huge stomach for her size. She was wearing short shorts, and a cutoff shirt, and the whole outfit seemed designed to accentuate her stomach.
So the husband was reading a newspaper while we chatted,and I asked her when she was due.
Dead silence, then the husband slowly raises the newspaper to cover his face. I had fucked up. She said that she wasn't pregnant, and asked me if she really did look like she was carrying a child. I had to answer yes, and then the husband says that a lot of people ask her that.

Once I was sitting with a one on one patient, which is someone who need someone sitting in the room with them 24/7. So its was the 11pm-7am shift and the room was pitch black. I was behind a curtain so that my cell phone light didn't bother the resident and be started conversing with me. We talked for about fifteen minutes when I noticed the responses were very strange. He was saying that he loved me, telling me that he was glad that I visited, asking me about my job and my wife, etc.
Turns out, my voice is so deep that he thought that I was his son the entire time.
Near the end of the conversation he said that I would strange and I replied "I just have a cold, Dad" and be was mollified.

Once a not very old, and not senile at all resident asked me for a snack in front of a group of people. I started rattling off a list of things that he could snack on, and he looks at me and says in a loud, theatrical whisper "No, I wanna eat you!"

i one time damaged a piece of equipment worth about 25,000 dollars at work. severely damaged, like taken out of service damaged. also, i damaged it in front of everyone, knocked it to the floor and it bust into pieces... because i was flirting with a girl and doing some sweet dance moves... when i came in the next day someone had printed up a bunch of signs that read "NO DANCING BEYOND THIS POINT" and they renamed the employee lounge "the Dance Floor." i am super lucky this all happened before every cellphone had a camera, otherwise i'd be a viral video. also, i did impress the girl though, she was impressed i didn't get fired :P

Where I work, the nurses have carts the hold medications and creams, and on the top of the carts are paperwork and pitchers of ice water. So I pick up a pitcher to pour a drink for a resident, when the lid popped off and the ice and water flowed out. It not only soaked a folder of important paperwork but also cascaded down my shirt and bra.

Once I bad worked three 16 days in a row, so I was very tired. It was around 4:00 am and I was creeping in to change a resident's brief in the dark. I pulled back his blankets and noticed that he only had one leg. I immediately started crying because I had a feeling like I had somehow caused the leg to go missing, even though I had dealt with him many times before.

This one happened last week.
So I was in the activity room showing a movie and serving snacks to a group of fall risk patients. It was after dark and the activity room is attached to a screened in smoking patio in which seven other patients were seated. I heard a chair scrape the concrete floor from outside, and looked up to see a giant flying creature trapped in the patio! So I run out panicking as a frail resident casually opens one of the screen doors to let out the beast
It was a fucking pigeon.

OK, so I was working for a hotel near a University and I ended up in the elevator with our city's rival women's basketball team and those women were all tall and huge. I asked what floor they were headed to and they said 3 and I was so nervous that I accidentally pressed 2 twice, then I finally pressed 3. When we reached their floor, one of them(she was like 6'4) bumped into me hard with her luggage and I fell and even almost had the elevator doors shut on me. I think my story is more embarrassing than you guy's but this isn't a competition.
