What is the most embarrassing thing that can happen?

Um, what are the first 2? (I hope this doesn't become my most embarrassing thing.)

Thanks for the funny thread. I have to find a tissue to wipe the tears from my eyes ...

L O L

I have done this before. I didn't realise that if you just drag a folder onto you it replaces the *entire* outfit. I wanted to show off my new shoes, dragged the folder and ended up with nothing but my shoes on. The shoes didn't even fit properly! This was also in a very busy mall. Not a good idea lol. worst thing is that I still do it occasionally. but now i remember to always fly pretty high before trying to change or to go somewhere private lol.

Do you know when SL is loading you get the screenshot of where you last were before you logged off? Well once I had been changing my clothes and crashed. When I logged back in it showed the place where i was the previous log in . I ended up rezzing in a freebie place I had set as home, naked, during a group meeting oops...

Now that IS embarrassing. Especially when the one doing it is supposed to be telling someone else in IM what you and he are talking about, or even worse, pasting your conversation and they paste it to you instead of the other person.

I don't know who should be the most embarrased in that case.

Trying to take off an item of clothing and "Detach All"'ing instead is about the most embarassing thing that still happens to me .

When I was new (my second day) I logged back on to the Ahern WA and two minutes later a guy *shouted* "Kitty isn't wearing panties under her skirt!". That instilled a check and double check routine when getting dressed since then, and a dislike for mesh skirts .

A friend asked for Linden help on the Live Help group and since I hadn't seen her in a while I jumped in and did a quick "/me pounces and huggles". Apparantly that was enough to confuse the responding Linden and he god tp'ed over to where I was. Except I was cheering on a friend who had just started working at a (mixed sex) strip club and a few people had all their bits showing. The poor Linden poof'ed after a few seconds .

And many, many embarassing Live Help calls that I'm sure people never intended to have pop up on a few dozen people's screen . And whenever someone said their TV was broken, it was invariably playing (kinky) porn when you tp'ed over .

Logging on stark naked and fully "equipped" to find that my SL partner's RL husband's AV is standing right in front of me. Luckily with his back turned .

OK I'm just horrified to find out that guys are camming up my skirt to find out if I'm wearing panties. Most of the time I totally forget. I guess I'll have to be more careful from now on!

I think mine have already been mentioned...

Going to a sandbox, rezzing a builders platform way up in the sky and stripping down to try on skins...crashing...being logged back into Help Island starkers, with HI set as my home at the time - so I couldn't just instantly TP home with the key commands...

Wrong window is always amusing. I can remember dancing with my partner right after I'd started hostessing and typing "/me snuggles up closer to you" in IM - did not realize until several minutes later I was still in my boss's IM window. (She was there at the time. She was amused.) I can also recall being in IMs with two people when I asked "Does X know about..." only to realize that X did now, because that was X's window.

(Not mine, but I was in a club and a couple were getting downright RAUNCHY in chat. The rest of us ignored it for quite a while, but finally someone spoke up to suggest they take it to IM. Guess where they thought they'd *been* having that entire conversation...)

I don't think I've managed to strip myself (publicly) with "replace outfit" - but I have unexpectedly lost my hair and shoes. Lemme tell you - bald may be beautiful, but it's embarrassing with a ballgown.

Ah, and a new one for this thread - snuggling up in the sky, standing up, and finding yourself catapulted out/off and plummeting toward the ground. Not a bad idea to have your partner TP you back before standing, just in case the same thing happens to them...

Oh, another "not mine, but...":

One evening this guy I'd met a few days before IMed me and asked me to help him shop for "attachments". I was a bit surprised, but he was new and I am ever-helpful... So he TPed me into the shop and proceeded to try on several of the available demos while I gave commentary. (Not very realistic... wrong size... yeah, that looks really good... at that price, it had better do tricks... oh, it does?) He narrowed down his choices and decided to think a while longer, and I got ready to go home and log off for the night. All of a sudden he asked, "Wait - I didn't meet you at ... did I?" "No, we met at..." "And we've never... have we?" "No, I'm pretty sure we haven't." "Oh my god - I thought you were someone else!"

*shrug* I hope I was helpful, at least...

If they are that pervey and desperate to get a cheap thrill by looking up an unsuspecting virtual cartoon girl's skirt - throw the poor guys a bone. It costs you nothing and means everything to them

Those people who tell of trying on skins and crashing, only to find themselves at Help Island naked; there's an easy solution - create a 10x10x10 hollow cube with a lid as a changing room, and then actually attach it so you are wearing it. You can cam inside it, but will still be wearing it if you crash and have to relog.

Hey, you are giving a good, usable tip in a general discussion Friday thread where you have full permission to act up. Nice one, Conan. Truly.

Apologies for yesterday as well.

Oh, I'd forgotten about those! I don't forget my panties any more after the camming upskirt thing happened to me twice in the space of about a week.

The first time I was out dancing, in a FLOOR-LENGTH ballgown. Ladies, a full-length system skirt will not protect you! However, my partner was so sweet about it I couldn't get mad at him. ("I know you're kind of new to SL so you may not be aware of this, but did you know that I can tell you're not wearing panties?" He's still a good friend, though I do remember my panties now when we get together

The second time I was standing on Help Island talking to some guy and mentioned that everywhere I went, guys kept coming onto me. His reply? "Well, maybe if you were wearing panties..." He did it in such a sweet "word to the wise" fashion I couldn't really get mad - just blush furiously and run for my inventory.

Thanks to those two gentlemen, I never go out in SL without making sure everything's, well, covered.

Yes, up-skirting is a popular occupation for teenaged boys on the main grid (and Taco.) Always wear panties. Even with regular pants. There will be times when your pants layer won't rez in for some reason...and there you are!

FWIW - I've been lobbying for an "underwear indicator light" on the UI for years. Alas, my pleas go unacknowledged by LL.

Or logging off in your bedroom while still nude or in some discriminating attire.....then the next day telling a RL friend "SL is great, you should try it....here, I'll show you my Avatar", resulting in major embarrassment when the screen loads up. Funny thing is, that friend was the quickest to ever actually create an account of all my RL friends I've tried to turn on to SL.

I haven’t been in SL long, so I don’t know if this is common (at lease I don’t see it too often with other people). One thing in particular happens to me every time my AVI walks around: I have a slow computer, and the arrows on my key board get stuck (from the time my grandson spilled jelly in it) I try to maneuver around and go bumping into avatars (pleading forgiveness) saying OPPS! Every few moments, or winding up in a corner facing the wall. At times I wind up behind or in an object in the corner, flailing around looking for an escape route, begging for a TP from someone nearby...Embarrassing

People cam up skirts to see if girls are wearing underwear? (I'm fairly new here so didn't know) Frankly, I find this more embarrassing for the "cammer". Sill, I'll try to remember this next time I wear a dress...

You're a granddad? Congrats!

Hey the URL in your signature is reeeeeeeeaaallllllllllyyyyyy long. Messes up my window. FYI.

IMing a very large group with bedroom conversation. I saw it happen once and the strange thing was everyone stayed quiet so that the guy would continue talking. When he figured it out we all started chatting about it.

Happened to me. Was in a pose, stood up, fell out of the box landed through the ceiling of another skybox. Skybox's always seem empty. This one had two women in it, and very shortly a man appeared. I was naked and cuffed.

I've noticed that he likes being different. Being helpful in a Friday thread is different. hehe

Talking to a rep of an rl company when one of those griefer groups shows up nude and begin to orbit random people. (Of course, you'll be there to rescue them. )

Accidently deleted someones house...and they didnt have a copy
dj'd my reg shift and didnt realize that the song i put on was doin a chipmunk thing.
tp'd to a club with all my prim bits up my arsenal(i looked normal on screen to me)
during The Rant, thinking i was off the air said a bad word after spilling my coffee on the keyboard.
During the Rant, said camel toe, not knowing that you cannot say camel toe on Canadian Radio before 5pm(?)slt.
Was talking dirty to the Hubby in IM during one of our kids events, which had quite a nice turnout, and told what i would like for him to do to me after the set, in detail, in global.
was "relocated" by LL during a rolling restart while changing clothes.ended up in korea, naked bald and surrounded.
said out loud, what should have been left in im(and yes my mouth) with younger daughter, regarding the "prim boobies" seen on one lady during a shopping trip.

What a great idea! Thanks for the tip. LOL

hmm Being a newer resident and wearing a 1st! revealing prim only "top".
My friends kept commenting on my boobs and seeing them.
I'm thinking *tee hee aint I bold!* 'till 3/4s later into my visit speed teleporting around,
one of my mentor friends explained,
"No, because it is really made of prims, it takes a while to rez & since you have no underclothes on,
you are totally topless to view ...for a bit."
I stop, mind putting 2 + 2 together, recalling the days' comments on my cleavage going *aggggno*

Is this the official Friday thread? It can be a little difficult to tell. It certainly qualifies on the fun and frivolity front but, so far, it's remained steadfastly on topic. Plus, no-one has mentioned topic 3.14 (approx.) yet.
