Today at work I had to dress in a very fat, very hot cow costume (complete with giant, horiffically hot head) and be photographed. AND I had to be paraded around the agency.

Please, someone out there share an equally humiliating experience you've had at work so I feel slightly better.

Ok, here's a work related one. Maybe some other ladies can sympathize. I was under a lot of stress at work. It was my fiance's and my anniversary and we were supposed to meet up for dinner after work. You know how it goes, the client's being an a$$, can't tell you want they want until they see it, and another rush assignment lands on your desk at 4:30pm, due the next morning. I don't really know what happened, but I kinda snapped. I had two different bosses at the time...a chick and a dude. As a rule, I try not to cry in public, but at this point, I had hit rock bottom and couldn't stop myself from crying, frustrated with the stupid client, frustrated I couldn't get out on time, frustrated that no matter what I did that night, no matter how late I'd stay, it would be killed the next morning (b/c there's ALWAYS time for revisions, NEVER time to actually do it right the first time) Anyway, I usually run into the ladies room if I feel the waterworks coming (eg. after an especially heinous chewing out by a "colleague") But I didn't make it this time. My dude boss came by and saw me bawling at my desk. And for me, this is one of the most humiliating things that can happen, esp'lly for a chick. Luckily my boss dude just looked at me and said, "Allergies?" I nodded yeah, trying not to sniffle too hard.

High school is so rife with opportunities for humiliation. So here's mine: I was in the school play, in the only part I could get--as the grim reaper, black cloak, sickle and all. It was my cue to enter down a set of stairs into the middle of the stage. I took one step and tumbled down the rest infront of the whole school. The good news: I brought the house down...everyone busted out laughing. The bad news: everyone bought tickets for and came back the next night hoping to watch me fall again.

Okay...few years back (I'm in outside sales by the way)...I get out of my car, in a clients parking lot. A normal every day thing...except THIS time, is on a blustery, icy, snowy day. I take one step out of my car (literally one foot), my heel catches a patch of ice, and I fall acc first, in a skirt none the less. I look up, to see some of their employees in the parking stall next to my car..looking down at me. Did I mention I had a skirt on? (LOL) I walk in the business & announce that if anyone dares laugh or ever bring it up again- I will recall the day I SLIPPED IN THEIR PARKING LOT. They haven't brought it up since...but I know it's on their mind.

No work ones I want to share...but here's a costumed one from high school.

I had to dress up as old school TV Robin (from Batman with Adam West) as a favor for a friend who's dad ran a costume store. So we're doing this kids birthday party, and one of the little biters decides to test if Robin's battle worthy...kicked me in the groin right as the school's television station was doing a piece on the neighborhood... so the next day, we're watching the report and there's me... rolling on the ground, practically in tears, in a Robin costume for 30 seconds of filler tape they decided to run as feature.
