What was your most embarrassing car moment (keep it clean)? I am at a stop light and the car stalls. I try to start it and start it and traffic is backing up behind me. Horns are blaring and I am frantically trying to start the car. I then find my phone and call to get the car towed. While I am waiting a nice young man offered to help push the car out of the way. That is when I realized I had never put the car in park. So the car started right up instantly. All I could do was laugh and drove away as fast as I could.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!My first one is I was driving my step daughters car and they failed to tell me that it does not go into gear easily (5 speed). It has been years since I drove a 5 speed so here I am in the middle of our main hwy thru town and I can not get the stupid thing in gear. Sheriff pulls up behind me to see what the problem is and I am so embarrased to tell him I can't get it into gear. I finally get it and I am able to leave. This is a small town where everyone knows everybody. All the sheriffs, police and DPS know my husband, so he was soon informed of my misshap and I have never lived it down.Now for the second one, since I blew my van up I am driving an old Chevy El Camino. Well Hubby put an electric fuel pump on it and it is now either going out or has a short in it. So to keep it running I have to keep my foot on the gas at all times. I have to brake with my left foot. If I get stuck behind a slow car, my car will die in the middle of the road. It happened 5 times today when I was going to the store. It would not have been so bad if the kids were not there and getting upset everytime it died.

Well, not exactly a car moment persay, but it happened IN a car....
I had gone grocery shopping and was going to get back in the car. I stumbled a bit and grabbed onto the pole of the cart corral that I parked next to. My keys were in my hand and the car key got stuck in the groove of the pole, causing it to bend.
So I'm in the car waiting for dh to come give me the extra key. He's an hour away, so had a long wait. I'd already gotten coffee & walked around. Now I'm bored and just sitting in the car.
I decided to take advantage of the bright sunlight and do some "facial tweezing". (I said I WAS BORED!) I notice a nose hair that just does not have any business whatsoever being there and take care of it, when my eye catches a movement next to me.
It's a teen employee getting the carts out of the corral and he's just standing there staring at me with at "WHAT THE HECK!?" look on his face. I kind of wave a little and he is sooo embarrassed and just takes off.
I don't know who was more embarrassed...me getting caught nose plucking or him having to see it. LOL!
OK..after I stopped laughing about Cricks nose pickin story.......
I had a white Toyota Corolla...very common car...went to the store and came out to leave (it was like 95 degrees and i was hot and tired) and went to put the key in to unlock...would not work. Tried 2 more times...nothing. Called my DH to come and help me and by now I am irritated beyond words....A policeman pulls up and asks what the problem is so I tell him the key will not work in the lock and my husband is on his way. He asks me if I know the plate number. I start to tell him and he starts to laugh and sure enough...it was NOT my car! I had parked about 5 rows over. Not my best day!

My most embarrasing car moment had to be the time I locked my keys in the car with the car running. I did not have a spare at all anywhere (stupid I know). I called the sherriff and they came and broke in with the slim jim. He has a hard time of it and I thought I was going to have to pay to get a locksmith out there, but the Sherriff came through.
Needless to say, I was late to work that day. :clown:

Okay - you guys are TOO funny. ROFL. While I won't tell you how many of the aforementioned I have ALREADY done - I do have a new one: When my son was a year old I gave him my keys to play with while I buckled him in his carseat. Yeah, you know the rest... I shut the door and heard "click". Fortunately it was perfect weather out - a little cool. At this time I lived in a very small town. By the time the police arrived (about 3 minutes later) a small crowd had gathered to watch me making funny faces and jumping up and down to keep my son happy. My son thought the attention was great and cried when the policeman left. Huh?? BTW - a big welcome to dragonfly1234!
I know Tuesday is gone,but I have to tell my MOST embarrassing moment in my life. One Saturday I decided to go grocery shopping with my wife.This is very rare for me to do.Our oldest was at a friends house so we took our 4yr old at the time and went. We had everything in the cart and I was standing in the front of it with my back away from my daughter with a packed store around me when I heard her say WHAT MELLS (smells) I turn around and LOOK at her and she proceeds to go looking for her mom who was two isles down saying very loud MOMMY DAD FARTED AND IT MELLS. I just stood there thinking why did I do this.She said it 3 or 4 times, people are laughing, I am just standing there with nothing to say KNOWING that I never did and all my wife does is look up and say OK I heard ya the first time like it was no big deal. I had two thoughts What in the world happens in a grocery store that my wife would think this is no big deal AND how am I gonna get out of this. All I could say when the check out girl asked me to give her a minute because she was laughing so hard was I never did it. I do not think she believed me. My wife acted all cool until we got into the car.Then proceeded to laugh all the way home. My 4 yr old on the other hand was asking if she could have a candy bar before we even got to the check out. AND dad just stood there. GOD BLESS
