Do Not Push This Button

Didn't Ronald Regan suffer this 'I just want to press the red button' syndrome, just before they wrapped him in a long sleeved canvas jacket with stylish belts and buckles?

i have rights to edit my partner's objects. we were standing in her club one night with a few other people and i dropped a snapshot on her of something pretty intimate.

except i missed because she was dancing, and instead painted a 10 x 10 wall with it.

to recover, i quickly dragged another onto the wall.

it was worse.

Ugg... my worst was prob'ly when we parceled out the land at home, and *most* (but not all) of my nana's jhouse got returned ot her in ittle bitty chunks. Dat was *such* a terrible night.

Ooooh, I feel your pain on this one. Just this week, I was working on a birthday card with anohter person. She sent me a texture to look over and when I tried to move the texture window, I accidentally ended up dropping the "Happy Birthday!" texture on to a painting on the wall of the pub we were in. An original painting donated to the pub by the artist was now a giant Happy Birthday sign on the wall. Didn't have the painting texture to fix it, either. So, I had to IM the artist and explain what I did. He thought it was funny has heck, thank goodness and fixed it for me. Thank goodness.

I want one!!

hmmm a few of them,

We have all been new at one time and lacking in inventory so I used to help the new guys out at a club I used to own by throwing them a thingy if they didnt own one yet. One day I was giving one to a new guy and wound up wearing the thing. Oh yes I am a very straight girl.

I was dressing getting ready for a date one day. Hit the wrong item in my inventory and wound up being a guy. Scared me to death would he still want me, would he still love me.

One day I was working in a dance club that we were building and I threw more things into the ocean than I care to think about. *oh Hi honey, would you care to go swiming*

I was in pg one day talking to a real live Linden guy.. Was trying to put my shoes on because I didnt feel I was dressed properly to be speaking to him *that god like guy*. Don't know what in the heck happened because I was pretty new, but I wound up taking my top off and showed him my bare breasts. I turned around quickly and said *oh my I am so sorry I am still learning*.. He said to me. *hmmm I don't really mind and *winked* at me.

i have something similar.

I went to a dance party once, way back before I knew what I was doing, and thought I'd impress a foxy lookin' avi with a Mamba AO that I'd gotten out of a freebie box.

Which I hadn't tried yet...

Oh yeah, that went well.

She promptly walked away to go do the verticle bop with some giant gangsta lookin' blingtard.

I'll share for my partner......lol. We were in our favorite dance club one night where they were holding a contest for best something or other. Anyway, one of the new dancers was taking the votes, so you had to IM her with your vote, which my husband had just done. Now, he is my RL husband, so we are only a room apart in RL when we are in SL together....and we were busy dancing away in the club. He asked me if I had received his IM....Um, no (I said), so he IM'd me again....um, no still didn't get it (I said again). A second later he realized that he had IM'd the new dancer at the club that he loved her.....twice!....lol When he apologized she told him that she was getting a little worried that a dude she didn't even know was that in love with her. I think that not being careful which IM window you're using can lead to a lot of misunderstandings and embarassing situations.

LOL! Awesome pic!

ooooh yeah I've done that. It was months and months ago; sharing some intimate time with my honey, and a customer IM'd in with "how do I get this box off my head"... I got mixed up with my IM's and ended up sending a nice cyber to the customer... DOH.

Well, that's one way to garner repeat business...

Glad I'm not the only one who's done this. LOL

I was in my store, finding a folder of shoes to drop on a new resident standing in front of me. But instead I slipped and the folder dropped on me. Before I knew it I was, naked, wearing shoes, with a posing stand stuck to my head. I just took off flying, and stopped for one sec to type "OMG I'll be back in a min dont leave". XD
I can never laugh at a newbie for any reason ever again.

Shoes are go great to have when you are naked ^_^ At least our feet had some dignity left! LOL

Well, this didn't happen to me, but, like Sunni, it involves my RL/SL husband.

I can't remember whether he was just forgetful or whether he had crashed, but it happened that one night he logged off naked and with his prim "bits" attached and, erm, ready to go. Now, forgetting this, he logged in the next day into his home location- a PG sim! With people around! In a moment of panic, he quickly logged out before (he hoped) anyone could see him. The problem now was, if he logged back in, his "last location" would be the same PG sim, and he was having trouble logging in to a typed-in region name. So I logged in to my land and sat with my teleport button at the ready, and the moment he appeared on his screen, I sent him the TP and (hopefully) nobody saw him all naked and aroused at the telehub he appeared at for three seconds!

Let this be a reminder to everyone: remember to put your clothes back on before you log off!

This is the best thread ever . . .

I've had that "oopise, I was trying to put on shoes, not flash you" . .. but nothing funny or embarssing comes to mind Oh, and the "oops, wrong IM window" - or "oops did I really put that out in chat?"

Oh God I mix up the messages all the time, luckily I've never had it get too far out of hand.

There's this punch line I have. It's hilarious, but not PG. It has to do with the word "box" being taken out of context here. I'm resisting as hard as I can, but it's Friday. I honestly don't know if I can.

/me squinches eyes shut and grits teeth.

Hmmmmm..... more along the lines of "Damn, I'm in the wrong box again" maybe?

I was at Yadni's Junkyard during the first month of my SL life. I had just opened up a box of freebie clothes and inadvertently hit the "Wear all Inventory" (or whatever it says) button. Suddenly I had on a Mohawk spike hairdo, pale golum-like skin over my mucho macho body, scary eyes, purple boa, pink spaghetti-strap teddy-style nightie, and heavy boots. I about cried. I had no idea what had happened and thought for sure my real AV's skin was lost and gone forever, oh my darlin'!

Just last week, I was showing some clients around SL and was explaining to them how sims are configured and the weird effect you get when flying from one to the other. I then showed them some cool places for another half hour. At the end of it all, I realized my hair had migrated to my butt (which NEVER happens to me and thank you sim crossings) and was dangling like a flexi-tail for all of them to see. Even worse, no one ever asked what the heck it was.

Great thread. I am the mistell queen. Embarrassing IMs happen with me so often my friends have come to expect it from me. (Oh, I also frequently select the wrong person in my friends list when teleporting.)

Another all-too-frequent embarrassment results from the fact that I wear a lot of black, that most of the harnesses for my strap-ons are black, and that most of the time in SL you only see your avatar from behind. I'll go shopping with my friends and only remember I'm still wearing a strap-on harness when strangers walk up to me and exclaim, "Ooh!" I get so mad- it's like in real life when you're having lunch with your friends and you get a little food on your face AND NO ONE MENTIONS IT so you're stuck looking like an idiot until you see yourself in the bathroom mirror. So- if any of you see me wagging a strap-on around at the mall, please tell me. I assure you it's unintentional.

But the single most mortifying individual event I've had in SL was a year-and-a-half ago when I was shopping for a certain BDSM device. I followed a Teleport link in a certain designer's Picks, but discovered- the hard way- that her Picks were sorely out-of-date. Instead of TPing into a dark, secluded sex shop, I was standing on the back deck of a famous SLer's private home, in the middle of a gathering of SL notables, wearing a very revealing costume and even more humiliating group tag. I couldn't hit CTRL-SHIFT-H fast enough. Of course that took me to my (PG) Welcome Area. (Thank god it was an alt.)

I was standing and chatting with a very nice man about a concert that was to start shortly. Out of the blue, he said probably the most explicit thing I'd heard an avie say outside of private IM. Then nothing. I asked him if that was meant for me, at which point he got flustered and apologized, saying he'd gotten his IM and chat windows mixed up. The IM conversation was evidently a LOT more interesting than the one I was having with him. LOL

OMG, that pic made me laugh so hard I now have the hiccups.....*hikcs*
I sorely need fun right now, my broadband is borked (has been for 3 days) and I can't get into SL because the connection cuts off every few minutes...
I once wanted to send my rl fiance a tp and got someone else on my friends list-who promptly tp'd to my place...I apologised profusely and we had a nice chat....

I was standing in my SL house fitting a prim skirt when someone passed me a RL picture and somehow I applied it all over my 30x30 floor. This would not have been a big deal except the picture was of a man whom I did not know well - nor did I wish to know any better (this was before you could accept or decline a texture or notecard) - and he was um, not fully clothed.

My RL boyfriend was traveling and logged into SL to say HI to me...As I was still new, I didn't know how the hell to fix the floor! He was not happy in the slightest lol.

conan you need to try out my camping chair.

How about a Norwegian Blue parrot sticking out of yer bumm?

That's gotta be good for some comments:

Customer: This parrot is dead!
Clerk: No, he's not. He's sticking out yer bumm!
Customer: Damn, it! I hate it when that happens. No wonder he's blue.
Clerk: Nah, he's just pining for the fiords.
Customer: Well they've got to be better than what's up my bumm.
