Flexor, those are utterly classic. I'm very much like that as well.
I have an extremely selective memory, and virtually zero short-term memory, which can be frustrating/hilarious i suppose.
Most of these aren't really so much humiliating as mildly amusing or ironic i suppose really. I am extremely difficult to embarrass, kinda shameless i suppose.
-I frequently try to push/pull pull/push doors for instance.
-Then random things like chatting with professors and then realising i hadn't gone to their course that day.
-And being half an hour late to my French final, because i got all the way to campus then realized i had left my cumulative portfolio at home [which is about half an hour drive away].
-Several times gone to a library to return books, and realized i'd left those books at home.
-Going to a
dnd meetup with two of my friends, arriving there 20 minutes late, then wandering around this restaurant for like 20 minutes trying to see if we saw anyone who looked dndish there, all the while trying to inconspicuously show this sheet of paper that said DND Meetup in big block letters we were carrying around. Finally giving up and ordering chai shakes and mocking pictures of some rockstar wearing a zebra-print leotard. Good times.
-As anyone who knows me knows, i'm not a big laughing sorta person, like i very very rarely LoL if i'm just reading something by myself or whatever. And not very boisterous around people for that matter either. So i usually, if something sets me off, progress instantly to the evil giggling interspersed with snorting phase. I have several other friends who do as well though, so it's all good :p
-Finding out that "i'm not ready for a relationship right now" translates into "i'll let you know when i /am/ ready for a relationship, by dating someone else".
-Week or two ago i was going rollerblading with one of my friends, neither of us having been in a number of years. And so we decide to meet up about halfway on campus and take one of the trails there. So i'm changing into my shorts in my car, which involves taking all my keys and such out and setting them on the dash. wear shorts;open door;leave car;lock door;close door;examine car;spot keys;facepalm self. So i wound up having to actually use my friend's cell-phone to call the mothership who has a spare set of keys to come bail me out.. it wasn't too bad i suppose, as she and her knew eachother already, but it is the first time i've ever actually locked myself out of my car.
-My friend and i deciding it would be a really fun idea to take on a level 40 mob as we were both level 20 so that adds to 40 right? And winding up having to yell for an avatar to come help us out.
-Or similarly going exploring in a horrible horrible location, getting killed twice each, having all 5 of our containers scrap so hvaing about a million items on the ground. Then sending in our higher-level alts to try to corpse-retrieve, and getting /them/ killed twice each and /their/ containers scrapped.. and then having to get an imm to come kill things off and return our equipment to us as we sat huddled and twitching int he cathedral healing up.
-Getting the bleeding snot smashed out of me by a giant evil tazelwurm of death.. and having a cute little bunny rabbit help him kill me.
That one at least was intentional and hilarious
-Um. Using rampant dnd terminology to try to describe something to people i forgot are so totally not gamers.. and then having to re-dscribe it, and then explain what i meant by 'failing search checks' and so forth..
-I have an extremely singular sort of wit. And so there's things i find hilarious that most people are just like umwtf or blinkblinkfishstare. So frequently i will wind up telling a story of joke or whatever that i think is brilliant and having people just stare at me. Good times :p
