Your most embarrassing SL moment to date?

I used to hand out nice little items to new people that came in to our sim. Ones that were not anatomically correct yet. Mostly to males that is. One day I was dragging a little something onto a *HIM* and wound up wearing it myself. Can't really mention what it was and the only hint that I can give you is that I am not a shemale. Well, maybe for a few minutes there I was. *blushes*

I disagree ... replace outfit's complete makeover is very handy to change quickly into a dragon or something, then back again into yourself, with one click.

*covers face and nods emphatically*

Better still, have that option start and end with blinking red stop-signs... Require a double click... or just a simple "Are you sure you want to do this?" message would be grand.

...And prevent accidental public nudity, too--for the greater good, you know...

And I agree with you on this point. I have several such folders in the "Body" section for various avatar looks. Each human folder has, at the least, a pair of pants and a shirt in it.

It's just those darn folders that only contain a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat in it that make life interesting sometimes..... "Howdy ma'am...check out these boots...."

There was this time I was talking to a friend and we were both sitting at a table. As he was talking to me a woman tp'd into the area. I was set to highlight scripted objects when you press alt. I was alt-camming at this girl and saw she had these transparent bubbles showing up as red over her breasts. Not knowing what they were I clicked on it and her breast said something like, "Bree Giffen pinches your nipples." And my friend stops chatting and says, "Did you just pinch her nipples?"

I misread the title as "Most embarrassing moment in Sl on a date." I was all geared up to say something like "Realising I was on a date in a video game. I immediately turned off my PC and went downstairs to hit myself with sticks."

I feel so disappointed now
and embarrassed too actually.

So you didn't tuck the laptop under your arm and take it down the pub for a bacardi and coke?

Does anybody else logout instead of closing the mini-map?

lol

Yes I have logged out instead of closing the mini-map. Now I have gotten into the habit of pressing the button on the bottom bar rather than closing it properly. It means there is no danger of me logging out accidentally.

I do it all the time when I've opened the world map and go to close it.

Typing in the wrong box creates the occasional howler.

Doing a slow dance in the old 3 lions (which was packed) with a platonic male friend who used to enjoy playing practical jokes on me.

We're in IM when he types in open chat "I suppose this means I have to buy a prim penis now" followed by "oops, wrong box sry". Sod.

I'd be often embarrased at The Three Lions ... I wonder sometimes just who closed it

and yes, Claire, good ploy with the buttons instead of the 'close window'

Hmm, will my Three Lions tee shirt become a collectors item? SecondLife Antiques?

I don't get it.

Oh wait, now I do. I have SL fullscreen; so no, that never happens.

Funny you should say that, I was in my new regular pub the other night sat in my chair, by my fire, stoking it with my stokey thing and there was yet *more* people in there speaking fondly of The Three Lions! Wherever one goes one finds people who really miss the place.

What really happened at The Three Lions?

Insurance job?

It was often lag hell, I remember that much. It wasn't uncommon to crash three times in an hour there, but people still came.

Guess because any time of the evening or night (GMT) you could be guaranteed a good friendly crowd. It was always really easy to strike up conversations with people.

I received one of my best chat up lines there. "Hello. You have nice panties."

Or one of the worst typos when a guy was getting intimate during a slow dance: "/me gently strokes your neck with his moth." I kinda couldn't take it seriously after that

Hahaha, I love it!
There was a regular DJ Aribeth whose voice is lovely. I asked in open chat there if she was really as lovely as her voice sounded and someone answered 'ask xxx' so I found them and asked. They answered '/me looks sideways .. yes, she is!'

Hey! I'm back on topic!!!!!!

I loved the Three Lions. I guess most of the popular places in SL will disappear eventually, while new ones will appear. Not much lasts forever.

I'm having a fairly embarrassing time at the moment with an animation attachment that I picked up to try and be as cool as Garrett.

You know when you say "Howdy Bilbo" and do that little pointy thing?

Well when you type "Bye Bilbo" you do a big dramatic wave and the script comes up as "Bye Bye for now Bilbo!!!"

I was chatting to a bloke I'd just met the other night, and then as I went to leave he just sees this fella he hardly knows start waving a non existent cowboy hat madly in his direction and shouting "BYE BYE FOR NOW DAVE!!" <pooof>

Its all a bit theatrical and embarrassing.

well, her fault for not properly setting the allow list on her naughty bits.

Sorry buddy .. but you'll never get there .. and I should know

on my first character, around 3 years ago. instead of dropping some house in the ground i ...figured that the "wear" wasn't appropriate.

You mean logging out accidently? Yes, I do that all the time. Can be very annoying if you are in the middle of talking to someone, they see that you are writing something and then . . . oops . . .

"You have nice panties, and my moth is hungry."

I might've run with it.

/me shivers in your arms. The tiny tickling sensation of moth wings on the back of her neck send goosebumps up and down her spine. "Do you always keep a moth handy for moments like this?"

On the other hand, maybe he was one of those "Silence of the Lambs" nutcases who'd stick his moth down your throat. Erk.

LOL all the nekkid moments.. I am soooo happy I have my furcoat covering all the spots

But other things do happen. For example gestures. They can be triggered by /commands, with some auto completion feature. So if you want to type /blow for "blows a kiss" you might be ending up typing "/burp" which makes you burp at the nice person's face...

A friend of mine and her friend frequented a place called Bear. It's basically used by a group of people like a chat room; they use voice there all the time. My friend's friend left his mic on and began clipping his RL toenails for everyone to hear each clippity clip. lol Luckily the guy doesn't embarrass easily. Yeah..ok...so it's not something I did...still funny...
