Warning: Laughing at other people's mishaps is strictly prohibited and punishable by…don’t know yet but I’ll think of something. I once heard a comedian ask at a live show, “Whose birthday is it today?” a young woman screamed and he motioned her to come on stage. He asked her, “Sweetie how old are you today?” She answered by saying she was 21. I knew it was trouble when he eyed her from head to toe and replied, “Baby I didn’t ask you how much you weighed at birth” The audience was wooing and laughing and the girl quickly hopped off of the stage and cussed him out. I thought, that’s what you get for taking your behind up there in the first place. That was one comedy show I truly enjoyed and I later realized when comedy is at your expense there’s not much to laugh about. When the "Oh my God" moment happened in my life, I understood exactly how the girl felt on that stage.
Ok, so the most embarrassing moment of my adult life happens and there was no comedian to cuss out. The incident happened a few years ago when I used to work in the city. One wonderful afternoon, after work, I had my music blasting in my ear to drown out the hustle and bustle of city life to get where I need to go as happily as possible. I didn't drop a sweat, trying to catch the next train home, because this was my daily routine. I later found out why they have happy hours, to keep my happy ass out of harms way. I’m gonna need ye pome martini, shaken or stirred, before I continue telling this story…I’ll be right back.
So it happened…not the worse nightmare, because nightmares are over at the buzz of the alarm, but my worse daymare. There was a young boy on his mountain bike riding down a steep hill, going east towards my intersection, and my light to walk was on going north. So I did what a normal human being would do, I walked and my daymare happens. The young boy decided he wasn’t going to stop, I figured, he must have been desperate for a reason to delay his delivery. Yes we collided, Ssssplatttt, as soon as I stepped off of the curve! I ended up a road kill and his bike flung I didn't care where. Out of all the people crossing the damn street why me? I could show everyone who did it but what's the point…my embarrassing daymare has already occurred and no comedian to cuss out. Wiy, mot yeshalal! I tried, lord knows I tried, to regroup and save face but I was too dazed and thankful for not being seriously hurt. Calgone take me away! Thank goodness I wore pants that day because I would’ve hated any physical reminders of what happened – the mental torture is enough.
What the hell are people looking at, haven't they ever seen an Abesha set get hit by a bike rider? Oh, the embarrassment, menew ahun meret tekefto bewetegne! The guy was very sorry and gave me his company name, phone number and email address. Too late buddy, get your brakes fixed and get a good lawyer because Celebrate life is pissed off! I guess he did the right thing, after all what else was he gonna do commit a crime of hitting and riding?
I mean I love going to comedy shows/clubs, as much as possible, because I love to laugh. This was one free show I wished I could have had the option to cancel, delete, pause, or rewind but unfortunately life doesn't come with a remote control, well not until 2050. I know embarrassing moments happen to the best of us (actually all of us) and I would love to hear yours. Can you beat my day mare?
Published by November 5th, 2006 in Social and Thoughts.
Ha aha ha ahah ahha
sorry this is so funny, i sure can beat your stories,… esti i’ll regroup and get back to you with a not so embarresing one…
Nolawi, ohhhh it doesn’t sound good if you have to regroup to come back with a not so embarrassing one. Relax life is not that serious.
Ha ha i have so many of these… so many its not even funny anymore…
gin the problem is tha I do now use an alias name like you…
as shakespeare says
Let me tell you, a friend of mine had a day mare like this: He got out of his bed on a rainy morning and was asked to drop of his sister at a train station before he goes to school. So he decided to put on his coat over his PJs and come back quickly. After dropping his sis off, he gets stopped by a cop for speeding. The cop made him get out of the car etc etc (you can just imagine the glares he got from passer bys, who probably thought he was a pervert.) He gets into a huge argument with the cop and the cop decided to teach him a lesson and drag his ass to jail – in his PJs!
As for me, am still trying to recover from the most embarrasing moment of my life way back in 6th grade! Unfortunatly, it’s too embarrasing to share…….
Celeb, it is interesting how americans are carefree about by standards.
As I stepped of my ride’s car in the departures lane of my hometown airport, I turned around to say chowo as I pulled the large luggage out of the back seat.
I really beleive in not showing my body to perfect strangers so as usually I was wearing my favorite long dress perfect for air travel since no belts.
I closed the door as I picked my cell phone, the cop was telling my rides car to go. and phew he went, and half my dress went with it.
I had a cell on one hand and a luggage on the other, i didnt know how to cover my body from the two little white boys that were staring at my bra. And the cop what are cops for, didnt he see i was on an emergency. He froze to death. I didnt know what to do, scream or cry.
So I ran with my luggage to the nearest bathroom, luckliy i found a nice black lady in the bathroom.
Now beat that…
Timo, I can’t even imagine being arrested in my pajamas, your friend must have thought it was a dream. I hope they didn’t keep him overnight. I have fear of handcuffs unless they’re plastic so I can’t even imagine being arrested. Embarrassing moment in the 6th grade oh it must be good I wish I knew. Childhood “ouch moments” live with you for life.
Arifua lig, Oh my God I think you’ve beat my daymare. You’re right because Abeshoch would have run to your aid. I hope you had a good day after that.
Nolawi, why don’t you fill me in on my alias name. Please I’m dying to know! I would still love to here your stories, I’m sure they’re good and that’s why you’re holing out…excuses, excuses. I haven’t read Shakespeare in a while, thanks for the refresher.
But there are so many much, much, much more embarrassing things that happen to people. I don’t know if I consider this embarrassing. I mean people shit & piss their pants in public ect… ya’ know things of that nature. I’d say this is more so scary than embarrassing. but that’s my POV.
So this morning…I got my cup of coffee (not Starbucks) and was on my way to school and realized I forgot my favorite pencil at home. And I am very particular about my pencils. Fortunately for me, my school’s book store carries the band of pencils I like, even if they are more expensive that Target, it would be better that going through my long day with out my pencil.
Anyway, when I first got to school, I walked straight to the book store and got the pencil I wanted and as I was walking to the cash register….boom….I walked right in to a pile of books in the middle of the store. The books came crashing down and were all over the store and I started laughing so hard, I could even get up off the floor.
Despite all the obstacles I was determined to get the pencils and I did
So that is how I started my Monday morning.
what S said…
and what’s with the pic? how does it relate to the original post and to the comments? algebagNim::
Yea, did’nt get the pix either?! I first thought, ok, when you make a fool of yourself, you are the jack ass? I then thought so what’s up with the erinja? Totally confusing..
S & Shalom, Unfortunately when you’re going thru the ordeal it’s more so embarrassing then scary.
Shalom & Timo, regarding the pic, it was Nolawi’s choice. I interpreted it as life is fucked up (as in the dula going up the donkeys behind). Guess he could’ve picked a better one but then maybe that’s how he felt that day. Who never knows!
LOL @ the picture choice. oh lord!
so I am on a hot date as a broke 21 yr student…
We go to the movies, i pay wiht my credit card for the tickets and then we go to the concession stand for so pop corn,…
a young hispanic fresh of the boat, i suspect from his accent is serving us… so i take out that credit card again…
and he charges it… to his surprise.. he never saw this before i guess..
so he smirks makes a fist with right arm pulls it up to his mouth and screams..
“Oh Shit Declined… ah haha”
What can i do but run, no i did, everyone turned around and starred.. but i said hey u dumb shit.. take it easy, i have another card… happenes all the time..
but the girl didnt go out with me again
Celebratelife – A nice one! Speaking of >”Mot Yeshalal”strong>, I wish I was dead when this happened!!
The flickering screen of the television announced that coming up was the “Life of Britney Spears.” I sighed. I couldn’t stick her. Reluctantly I picked up the remote and carelessly flicked through the channels… The SPICE channel was more interesting than Britney Spears, so I parked there and started playing with my “Qula” LOL, clanking of a mug on the tray announced the arrival of my Grandma and I swiveled around to face her, helping myself to the Orange Squash. “There’s nothing good on the box,” I moaned tried to explain to Granny. “All there is, is this documentary on the human body, Britney Spears and a few other things.” My Grandma laughed. “Kids these days,” she chuckled. “That’s when I said, Menewu Merait Bewatgne or Be-Motkugne”
Can you top that?
M&W
I was driving my nephew of 8 months somewhere, and i was stuck in traffic, i couldnt go anywhere,
its not like i could stop unstrap the baby and go to the bathroom with him…. so i did what i had to do,
pee on my pants
SO ABOUT THE PICTURE….
I think the picture makes total sense….
First I try to use good imagery from Ethiopia…second a donkey ..
in our culture the aheya makes a fool at out himself…. Ethio Jazz once said that the sideb ante aheya remided him of another sideb agases
or have you heard of aheyawune ferto Dawulawune…. esti someone explain what that means in english?
anyways you guys dont take everything so literally… there are many other ways we connect things
Nolawi The English Translation of this qoute is “aheyawune ferto Dawulawune” It means if you’re affraid of the Donkey might as well be affraid of the abuse that comes with it. LOL
M&W
aheyawune ferto Dawulawune…tranlationemo…Instead of attacking the husband, who really pissed you off, you attack the next best thing the wife OR Instead of attacking what really irked you, you go after who you can handle. Hey what can me say but my Amarenga is getting good. Did I win the gold star?
But what does that got to do with the pic?
Mitmita, I love your determination to get what you want. That is one special pencil! My Monday wasn’t so hot either the office was chaotic…too much work.
Nolawi, good one. Don’t get me started on the “save me lord” dating moments.
M&W wooow…Hue Hefner couldn’t top that! I think you need to write a letter of apology to Brittney and your grandma j/k.
Liya, yes people do piss in their pants and let me tell you a story. Ok so one of my Abesha male friends was dating this African American aspiring model and they were visiting my city. He really wanted me to meet her because he was getting serious about her and so I agreed to go out with them. We went to a lounge after dinner and the girl was drinking some serious stuff and she barely ate and I can see she was getting goofy. Walking to the car to go home girlfriend let it loose standing up and a puddle was born. I swear I was so shocked I couldn’t even laugh and he was speechless and embarrassed. The funny thing was she just said “oops” They broke up a couple of months later he didn’t tell me why and I didn’t ask.
Celebrate – Your friend stuck w/ her a couple of more months?
One story seems to top the other so far..so funny…am enjoying myself (although not as much as m&w I guess?)
Ha, Ha, Celebrate, now you really inspired me to write a letter to Britney Spears! It goes like this…
Dear Britney;
I appologize for not watching your “Life of Britney Spears” show. I felt your show would be borring, I know the show will include your mirrage/divorce as well as how you want K-Fed Back In Shape, you emerged smiling, slim and looking fit and happy after your second birth in as many years. You’re a former pop star, I’m sure you’re ready to get your one-time hard body back (post babies) and durring your commercial shoot you looked as if you are well on your way to pulling it off.
Now – it’s time to whip hubby Kevin Federline into shape.
According to a report I read… You’re ordering the wannabe rap star to drop some pounds. K-Fed says it is “sympathy weight” he put on during your second pregnancy. LOL What a loser!!
According to the report: “Britney also gained the sympathy weight and she lost it in two weeks after she has the baby. But K-Fed’s weight gain is a daddy fat. It comes and goes.
Certainly if Kevin can gain ‘sympathy” weight for Brit he can begin to follow her nutrition and workout regime, now that the young family has two infant children to care for. Besides – it might help his fledgling career as a rapper.
I’m sure that his figure isn’t the only weighty issue K-Fed’s dealing with at the moment. The aspiring rapper has hit out at claims he cancelled performances after poor sales, insisting he doesn’t expect to command big audiences.
Habesha people such as myself and some others in the blind community are not passive. We just can not stand by and accept the obvious harm done to us when we are not, for any reason, granted equal rights not to ignore to the same resources like missing your show to watch “Spice Channel” as enjoyed by everyone else.
Yours Truly,
M&W
M&W, You are hilarious! Mr. Britney Spears better not read this letter he may come to hunt you down. Wasn’t she on 20/20 just a minute ago talking about how they’re going to last? Kevi has had his most embarrassing moment right here on Bernos! Habesha people such as myself and some others in the blind community are not passive. Amen to that! Brit and Kevi better recognize the Habesha community. I know I’m getting on your last nerve but you got give us the poem.
Timo, My friend was a little whipped and I guess it took that incident to open his eyes that she wasn’t for him. Funny thing is his current girl is also an aspiring model except now she’s Habesha, thank God. This time I said just send me the wedding invitation and I’ll meet her there and he laughed.
I’m sure every embarresing story is about shitting and pissing, this is funny
so we were in north east of DC, its the ghetto and we stopped to pump gas and were were in line to pay for the gas…
my good freind like thick woman, really big butts, i always told him there is no point in a big ass if it doesnt have the shape…
so i told him the girl in front of us
for some reason he kept quite… he never does… so she turns around and says..
Yamrale, betam thanqu!
so I did the craziest thing i ran to to car and hid… i was so embarrsed, what was an abesha girl pumping gas in north east in the middle of the night…
Ok! Celeb. Here’s a short “Embarrassing poem I wrote to chase a girl in College… But when I tried to pass it to her, it ended up in the professor’s hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL betttam yasaferal!!!!
Embarrassing!
I have your pictures
in my hands and heart
you look great in winter clothes
But I am imagining…
what if I take off all of your clothing…?
Imagination,
bottom of my heart nation
a naked girl
in a great shape!
bright eyes
Sexy hair, maybe more…
I hate when I have such a thought!
I don’t want to my feeling to fight
But your photo always reminds me of your sweet honey!
Amazing sound, full of Aromatic body…
I am getting into my coma,
you brought me this love,
I peel it like a Banana!
you are my drug, always a blast,
I want the coma forever to last!
I’d rather die of the coma you gave me
more than life without you hard to imagine
Tell me where I can find you?
I would reserve a hotel for us,
I would prepare for some bath bubbles
Believe me! I’m deep in love with you!
Woye Guuuuuud… Have you ever seen anything in your life
more Embarrassing as this?em>
M&W
Nolawi, you are hilarious! Baby got back (aka qit, qit, qit). You sure you’re not a brotha? Since you laughed at my mishap I was gonna punish you by making you tell another one but you beat me to it…now can we get one more for the road?
M&W, Nice poem! I hope you wrote another one for the girl and gave it to her. Are you serious it ended up in the professor’s hands? You must have wanted to die. You should publish a book of poems.
You want more embarrassing..When I was 10 I wrote a note to my friend about my love for our 5th grade teacher Mr Rogers. He gets a hold of it and announces to the class “passing love notes is unacceptable.” then right after he says, “Celebratelife I need to see you after class” I thought oh shit now everyone knows it’s me and he’s gonna call my dad and I’m dead meat. But instead he thanked me and kissed me on my forehead. Ahhhhh, my first crush.
Ha, ha, ha, Celeb. I knew I wasn’t the only one who got busted in classes.
As far as writtig another poem to that girl, hummmmmmmmm, I just plainly asked her out, and we were together for 9 month (School year)
M&W
M&W, Gusto you got! I hope you wrote her enough poems to last her a life time. The childhood poems I got were always roses are red, violets are blue, blah, blah, blah boring!
Mischief? That was my middle name…I’ve kept journals since I was 9 years old and you can imagine all the bloopers and blunders I’ve had in my life…ohhhhhhh ahhhhhhh
.
Ewnetem, wiy mot yeshala! Hilarious!
hey guys, first time post here, yeayyy!
Celeb, you think getting hit by a bike was embarassing. I’m sure you’ll sigh a huge sigh of “Effoyta” when you hear this.
This happened back home a few years back.
So I got off a cab to meet my friend at the Ghion Unity and the cab dropps me off, hopefully these places are still called these because this was over 10 years ago, at Rahi Video/ Gelila Doro?? right across the street from the Stadium. I get off the “Woyeyet” taxi and there were so many people (mostly guys) hanging out and I was too paranoid and too shy to pass by them so instead of walking on the pedestrian curb, I decided to walk on the street on the other side of all the taxis, I just made sure I was close enough to the cars so no cars will “take me out:)”
So in my mind all I could think was just walk and get the F out of this area with a bunch of guys hanging out and all the Woyalas for the cabs so I wasn’t paying attention to anything. At all. Apparently a “bere” (ox)was loose and running down the street at full speed and the owners were running after him and yelling for people to get out of the way. Did I hear that? Ofcourse not! All I could think of was just walk faster and away from the “Duryes”, as we used to be told anyone who looked a little shabby was. The bere sideswapped me at full speed and it seriously was by the grace of God I didn’t get the horn, that would not have been a pretty pic. To this day I can not believe I was hit by a runway “bere”! And all the people I was trying to avoid ran over to make sure I was ok so I felt even dummer that I was trying to avoid them in the first place, ironic huh? Major lesson learned.
I got up quick and embarassed as helllllllll, I was still in shock to feel any pain at all. Brushed off my cloths, which was useless because I fell hard and rolled I’m sure a couple of times and it wasn’t something that was just going to be brushed off, I told everyone I was ok and just walked away. My friends cab dropped her off right at Ghion and she was already there when I got there. The look on her face when she saw me was priceless! I’m coming down the street with my clothes dirty from top to bottom. That’s when it hit me and I started crying and laughing at the same time when I saw her because $#!t hurt like hell and at the same time I thought it was hillarious. We went to the bathroom and cleaned me up as much as possibe, she grabbed a “Shurab” before she left the house and I wore that for the rest of the day.
lifeisgoogd – that was so funny! Thank God for good friends, huh
Lifeis good, Enjuan Fetari Beselam Awetash!! Nice one!
M&W
Oh my God lifeisgoogd, that was not even funny. I’m so glad you made it thru without any serious injury. Times like that make you count your blessings.
lify!! That’s so funny…You kind of remind me the places Ghion…Gilila/doro…I never heard it since I left back home 16 years ago..
tata
I needed to write you a very small note to finally say thank you over again on your magnificent methods you’ve shared here. It is simply unbelievably open-handed of you to grant unhampered all that many people might have supplied as an e book to make some cash for themselves, chiefly now that you might well have tried it in the event you decided. Those guidelines in addition worked like the fantastic way to know that other people online have a similar dreams just like my own to see very much more with regard to this issue. I know there are some more pleasant occasions up front for people who go through your site.
What’s up to every body, it’s my first pay a visit of this
webpage; this blog includes remarkable and truly fine
stuff for readers.
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday.
It will always be helpful to read content from other
authors and use something from other web sites.
great points altogether, you simply gained a new reader.
What might you recommend about your put up that you simply made a few days in the past?
Any positive?
Hi mates, its impressive post on the topic of educationand completely defined,
keep it up all the time.
I didn’t know that.
