We've all had them, your suit rips during a start, you accidentally sneeze on Michael Phelps, you burp or fart on the starting blocks, etc. (none of those happened to me...knock on wood).
What's your most embarassing swimming moment? (includes, meets, practice, anything swimming related)

just wanted to chime in and say that Poolrat has one of the best signatures on the board....and I thought my signature was good...LOL!!
And that was an hillarious story swim4life....I have a similar type story that happened to a friend of mine who use to wait tables with me when I worked at the Olive Garden (back in Houston TX)....WARNING: Its a boderline racy kind of story (so if you're easily offended by slightly off color humor please DO NOT continue reading this!!...I hope I don't get suspended from the forum for this??)...Anyway the story goes like this: Some lady with an "accent" (like a brooklyn type northern accent) was sat at one of his recently bussed tables that did not have fresh silverware on it yet (dumb hostesses)....anyway, she asked him "where's my fork and knife"...and he thought she was just asking for a knife only (in a derogatory way so to speak...with the brooklyn type accent it sounded like a harsh request for a knife only if you know what I mean)....so he went and brought a knife back to the lady and started massively apologizing and such when she excaimed in an even louder voice..."I said I wanted a fork and knife what's wrong with you ...you don't understand plain English or what...etc..."
He turned 3 shades of red and said...please Mam I brought you a knife which is what you asked for o.k. there is no need to angry and use that kind of language...etc.. (By this time we all noticed this major ordeal developing)...Finally they both understood the confusion and both started laughing ...we all ran back to the wait station and laughed our butts off until we were almost crying.
