Seems like whenever I think I am so cool things go wrong. When I was 16 new drivers license in hand crusing with my girlfriends, saw some cute guys in the car next to me and decided to show off. Peeled out of the parking space trying to get the boys attention, which I did because at that precise moment the muffler fell off and the car made a whole lot of noise!! I was mortified, sank down in the seat and took off home, with my girlfriends launghing all the way. To make matters worse my mother got on me for not going back for the muffler. Wish I could say that was the last time I did something like that, it wasn't but that's a story for another day! Anyone else do things like that?

Well, I bet you got their attention! 
Ah, yes. I'm sure something like that has happened to all of us at some point.
One of my best moments was when I worked as an auto damage appraiser for an insurance company. The company was always on us to keep costs down, so they trained us to say no to just about every request the first time it was asked. (In hindsight, after working in body shops for several years, I was usually wrong)
I was at an auto body shop one afternoon and was in a heated discussion with the owner about the repairs that he wanted. I was saying no to everything and he was getting madder and madder. Finally he got so ticked he asked (ordered, really) me to leave. So I headed for the side door to go to my car. Our argument had drawn a crowd, so the whole shop was there watching as I opened the door and fell out onto the sidewalk! 
I didn't realize that there was actually a small step up to street level. I fell on my face in the most literal way. My laptop, digital camera, cell phone and clipboard went flying. Papers flew up in the air. Batteries exploded off of every device and I ripped open the knees of my pants.
I scrambled to my feet and the big heavy steel door that I had just fallen out off, swung back shut, hit me in the hind end and since I was still off balance, I fell back on my face again. 
It was a classy moment to say the least.
I guess we've all been there, done that a time or two. One of my most memorable ones was the classic coming out of the restroom (in a club) with my dress tucked into the waist of my panty hose!
And then there was the time on a trip to Mexico City that I literally tripped on a bottle neck and fell and busted my knees pretty bad. We were on a tour of a bottle factory, another couple who were neighbors was with us, and HE said, well at least you don't have to worry about falling on your face (I am pretty busty), and everybody heard him!
And then there was the time...well, you get the picture! LOL
I just got reminded of another one! When I was pregnant with my third child, my DH, his mother, our two boys and I went to a place outside Dallas to get some pecans. As we were leaving, I got the kids in the car, MIL was waiting to get in, and all of a sudden there was this goshawful noise...sounded like a train was right behind me, I scrambled into the car, scared to death. My MIL was outside the car laughing her head off, said she didn't think it was possible for a very pregnant woman to move so fast! The noise was a donkey braying! Being a city gal, I'd never heard such a thing before! I was reminded this morning, a CCer is making fondant donkey for a cake. Janice
