What is the most embarrassing thing that can happen?

In SL?

Is it, for example, trying to detach a sponge from your hand whilst in mixed company and accidentally clicking on your pants?

Or is it trying to answer a question with a witty response in a room suffering from chat lag, so by the time your pun pops up it makes no sense at all.

I was just curious

I would say arriving to help someone or in a room full of people who were expecting you with your prim hair in your butt and your AO shoes just behind as well.

"Who's the bald girl walking like a chicken?"

I have a habit of deleting sky platforms from underneath other people and myself

Watching all the noob guys showing up with their penis hanging out because they didn't know to put it away.

I really feel badly for them.

No, really.

I have a penis??

Another post said I have to buy skin...

I thought my avatar was functional...

putting on auto-return 10 minutes after being told not to and putting someone elses 250 prim build in to their lost & found

It may be attached to your shoulder - mine was for the first few days.

Like a parrot only less talkative

to play SL properly you must be dysfunctional, it goes with the territory

Oh lord, so many embarrassing moments, so little time. I am a clumsy clot.

Ages ago I met a new guy who was nice... tried to answer his questions as best I could and he asked me how to get rid of the bald patches he'd got with his new prim hair. So I got him to copy it, explained how to go into edit then said GENTLY move it forward, Cue his hair flying six feet in front of him. "NO NO GENTLY back." So hair flies another six feet behind. Soon it's zapping round the sim hitting people in the face. Took me a good hour to sort it. Never again.

Or the time I changed back from parrot AV to my usual human form. In front of a group of friends. Put on my back up folder with shape, skin and hair. But forgot there were no clothes in it. Ouch.

Accidentally saying something in public chat that was meant for IM.

And being totally nakie when SL decides to crash - then logging back in to find one's sim is not available and being sent to a random sim - nakie.

"Naked woman falling from the sky alert!!"

…the implication here is that it did talk to you, proves my point dysfunctional

Um, if you intend to be totally functional, you'll want to invest. The "popular" brand is Xcite. There is also Lotus, and I saw a new one this morning (hey, I was looking for surfboards...who knew) called Realism (I think). It looked fairly real...just not sure how well it functions.

/end thread derailment

I found a car... thought it was public. So I got in and tried to drive it. Next thing I know I was fifty feet in the air with a notice telling me not to take things that aren't mine.

"G"

My sides literally hurt from laughing so loud!

Thanks, Kelly! I needed that one this morning.

Or putting what was meant for one IM into the WRONG IM....

I still cringe at that now!

You could be stuck in an embarrasing animation, but not even know it. Look normal on your screen, but the others at the huge gathering are making odd comments and finally someone tells you that you appear to be doing something quite strange.

"She's choking!" (odd, I do not see anyone choking)
"How sweet, she is kneeling to you." (huh, must not have rezzed the person kneeling and choking)

Oh and this leads to: please include the name of the person you are talking to unless you really intend the comment to everyone and about everyone.

The worst is sending the wrong person a tp and they show up, or IMing the wrong person and going on and on about something that ….well yeah …. embarrassing.

How about just wearing the tiniest speedo, then agreeing to let a couple of lady friends TP you to meet them. They thought it was just hilarious when I landed in the middle of a "lesbians only" meeting.

Ooooo...now tping the wrong person could be really....interesting.

Accidentally retexturing the entire house - roof, floors, outside, all - with a yucky floral kitchen wallpaper. The house in question was a perk of my then boyfriend's job. His boss at the time allowed us to live there and his boss wasn't necessarily the understanding type. I managed to contact said boss and he replaced the house with a copy...and in that instance was very understanding.

Nevertheless, I have had other "texturing accidents" and have learned much about using the tools properly, but that first time was especially embarrassing.

telling your friend in IM about that sex-capade you just went on... only to realize that you clicked the tab for g rated group chat you had open earlier....

worse things could happen... but I've seen that one

while a n00b, i revealed someone elses' main.....

as a brand new newb not taking the game seriously, i didn't realize the implications at the time.

For me, the most embarrassing thing to happen was replying to a somewhat personal offline IM via email. Only the conversation didn't just go back to the person who sent it, but instead it was distributed to every single person on my friends list. The ensuing flood of offline IM's I received were both extremely hilarious and excruciatingly embarrassing.

I messaged to a male friend "sorry I'm so slow repying but I'm being IMd by all these mad females" which didn't go to him but one of the females, who wasn't 'mad' and she thought it was funny.

This isn't Grand Theft Auto
