Your most embarrassing moment as a jolly old fat man
Saw this thread while purusing TunaTown for some topics of interest and several of the posts were, well, very moving and inspirational.
Mine has to be having lunch with a bunch of folks from an extremely important client, busting a chair and falling on my arse in a crowded restaurant. Not only was I embarrassed personally but all the people at my table seemed to be as well as in, why do we have to be having lunch with this jackarse.
Got any good ones?

I was "blessed" to have 3 such moments.
The first one was several years ago when I was on the beach shirtless. A little girl was with her mother and she pointed up at me and said "you look like a girl" (because of my moobs). I never went shirtless in public after that.
The second moment was last summer also at the beach. I went to sit down in my low beach chair and broke it, I actually bent it. I then even had trouble getting up and I could hear the people behind me snickering and making comments.
Moment #3 was October 2005 when on a job interview, the interviewer made several rude comments about my weight and really made me feel almost guilty and just awfull about my weight. I wanted to retaliate back, but I really needed the job. That put me in a downward spiral and I attempted suicide 3 months later.

Mine was being kicked off a roller coaster while out with my family. The Fu_ken ride operator kept trying to force the the bar to close but it wouldn't cause I was too fat. People in line were laughing at me and my niece started to cry. Last week we were at Disneyland and my new fat ass now fits in the roller coasters.
Same as Robert. I was at Great America. The bar wouldn't latch, so the attendant actually straddled me, standing on my seat and was jerking down. I told him I'd just get off, that I thought they weren't quite made for people my size. He said it was just a trickly latch....That made me feel REALLY uncomfortable. Broken latch on the last hitch...bad combo. Finally another attendant came over trying to see what the problem was. He said "No, that dude's too fat to be in the whole damn park."
Well, many people around me came to my rescue by completely berating the a-hole...which made me want to crawl into a very deep dark place. My family was so pissed they all stormed the customer service station (more humiliation) and demanded an apology. They gave us meal tickets....By then I was so past humiliation I started quite a scene. They comped our whole stay and gave us season passes. I tore them up in front of them and left.

Aside from breaking a chair, the most embarassing thing was probably when I went to a regular Chinese restaurant (not a buffet) and a large Chinese family just looked at me in disbelief and started pointing at me and jabbering in Chinese.
I must say I never really minded when little children would point me out to their parents. But, I was really annoyed when adults would do the same thing. I've had a problem with occasionally falling down over the past several years and I have bad knees and can rarely get up on my own. I usually can't get up even using my cane. So, I have to call 911 and specify that I want at least 2 strong men to help lift me ( I say this because my local town sends out an old man and a woman and they're of no use to me). As you can tell, this is a problem I still have. Luckily, I haven't fallen this year.

About 6 years ago I was heading out on a business trip, flying Southwest Airlines. Now I'd been flying them for over 2 years already and made a regular 1-2 times per month trip with no problems. Occasional looks from seat mates when they had to cram in next to me on crowded flights but otherwise no issues. Knew enough about their seating program to get to the line early and insure an aisle seat.
Checking in and going onto the plane when the business agent pulls me aside and says I have to buy two tickets to ride the plane. I take up space for two people so I need to pay for two tickets! I was furious but had to travel so I paid for the second ticket. By the time he was done with the credit card and issuing my ticket went onboard the plane to find no seats (two together) so the friggin' flight attendant had to bump some people to get me two seats together. I was so mortified, every time someone came down the aisle and motioned for the empty seat I had to tell them it was taken...by the other half of my ass hanging over the seat.
I've never flown Southwest since then.
Still fly a lot, in fact so much taht I regularly get bumped up to first class so seats/size haven't been an issue.....and now since the surgery I can fit in any seat!! Whoo hoo!!!
Still get a seat belt extension on most flights but the buckle and clip are now only a few inches from each other.....I hoping for the next big fart to be the "extensions.....I don't need no stinkin extensions!!!" moment.

Gez, this is a hard topic to read and think about. Too many to count. Children in public screaming to their parents how fat I am mortifies me. Had one kid in walmart do that to me, and the b___h mother started laughing. Every time I would come across her in another aisle, the kid would say something again, and she would start laughing again. At church, we go up front to put our offering in a bucket. One lady always bends over the bucket with her hand still on the envelope and prays over it. I was behind her and I didn't want to be standing behind her with her all bent over, so I started to go around her to another bucket. As I starting going around, she stuck her leg out the back of her, and I tripped over it, went all the way down on my face, in front of the whole church. You could hear the gasps! Of course, too fat to be able to get up. Two of the stronger men had to get me under the arms and pull me up. (Poor guys) Also have fallen several timesjust walking across my bedroom. My legs just give out -- takes me 5-10 minutes to finally pull myself up and half way on the bed. One time I thought I had broken my foot and hand. I fell one time just walking down in aisle in Best Buy. Fell just stepping up a small step onto the porch of my boss's home office. Three guys working on a utility line in front of her house saw me fall and came running over to lift (hoist) me up. Have also broken a chair and fell on my ass at a family gathering. Even though it's around family, it's no less humiliating! I don't dare even attempt to ride on a plane or go to an amusement park, but those are a couple of my goals. My mom wanted to take the whole family on an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago. Had to tell her that I wanted her to take the rest of the family, but I wouldn't be able to go, because of me not being able to begin to fit in an airplane seat. I had my doubts if I would be able to walk down the airplane aisle, and I was not going to put myself through the humiliation. She was so sad, but wouldn't take everyone else without me. I really screwed up a great trip for myself and everyone in the family. I am SO glad all this will soon be all behind me. I definatly will not miss these times. Michael
