Cringe-Tastic

Hello Everyone :)

Has anyone ever seen the sketch where Russel Brand says 'My life is a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents'? Yep, that is me! I seem to be incapable of wandering through my day to day life without doing something hideously embarrassing. So...I thought it would be funny to share a couple of silly stories that my lovely friends like to bring up time and time again...

I want to help the bears please....

I cry...A lot. So when you add PMT into the mix I am a proper emotional wreck. One night I'm casually watching telly and on the advert break one of those charity infomercials come on for a bear charity. It immediately sets me off and before I even realise what I'm doing I'm sobbing down the phone to some poor chap from the charity. Now what would a normal person do? Say something like 'Hi, I just saw one of your adverts and I'd like some information about making a donation?' Yep, that sounds quite good...but no, not me. Barely being able to talk I sob 'Hi, my name's Nicola Carr, I'd like to help the bears please'

I'D LIKE TO HELP THE BEARS??? I mean whaaaat? Everytime I think about it I just want to pull the covers over my head and slowly die of shame. That poor, poor man that had to speak to me...Fucking Bears! (In all seriousness, I'm all for charity giving and shizz, I promise I'm not cold hearted, I would just of liked to have retained my dignity when being charitable!)

Bad Skirt Times

As some of you may know, I don't think I've ever bought a denim skirt in my life - I've always made them out of old jeans. So when Nick ripped a brand new pair of Diesel jeans I wasn't about to let them go to waste and quickly made them into a skirt. Sadly it was a little bit too big for me but I decided to wear it to my Scot Lit tutorial the next day. On the way to my tutorial I was carrying loads of books and was all flustered as I was running late. So I'm doing that odd half walk/half jog thing when out of the corner of my eye something flies in front of me...

...Yes, my skirt had fallen down and I'd kicked it off without realising it in the middle of the busiest part of the uni. Now let me tell you, there is absolutely NO WAY of bending down in love heart polka dot tights that show your bridget jones pants to pick up your skirt and put it back on in public with any shred of dignity. Don't even try. Whole groups of people stopped talking and just stared at me struggling - they didn't even laugh, not even a chuckle - they just stared. Cringe Factor 10...

Mistaken Case of the Creep

I probably have the most immature but hilarious group of friends and one of our favorite ways to waste time in lectures is to draw silly pictures. One time after uni I was on the train home and came over all studious, so whipped out the handout from that days lecture. A man came and sat on the seat opposite and I suddenly noticed that he was properly staring at me - it was rather creepy, I think I even text people ranting about this horrible creepy starer. Eventually it was my stop and I went to fold the handout I'd been reading when I noticed...one of my friends had drawn a MASSIVE schoolboy style penis on the back of the sheet...the man hadn't been staring at me at all.

Everytime I think about this I can't help but laugh - that poor man had to sit and look at that for half an hour....aw I could of killed the Sarah's for that hahaha


Cringey thumbs up for embarrassment...


Hope you found this funny - I have plenty more ridiculously embarrassing stories if anyone wants to hear them and feel free to share any you have in a comment :D

Lots of Love
Nic
