I'm hugely relieved to know I'm not alone in the embarrassing moments thing!

if it makes you feel any better, i will join ya.
My husband has his own garage (shop) at our home. (lucky me! he can tend the flock when i cant get home!) Most of his customers looked at me really strange when they see me walking around the yard with my girls and Bird following behind me. I raised ducks this spring and they did the same. there was me, the 'dirty dozen', and the 3 ducks all in a row. When I am out in the yard working of course i am covered in dirt, dirty cloths, hair all nasty looking, etc. I try to avoid the garage when any of his customers come to pick up their cars. I must look like a real 'winner' to them. they are mostly upper class, never been out of their house, never had a flower bed let alone a farm animal, type of people. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
Few weeks back a couple of real nice customers had seen my chicks n ducks out running around and thought 'how cute!' I had given them some eggs, bla bla bla. Well anyway, they had come back for some more car maintenance and were picking up the car. of course it was a day where i looked like a 'real winner!' torn t shirt, gruby shorts, hair in a pony tail, sweat, etc. (I had been cleaning the coop). They asked about the girls, Bird,etc. and I offered to show them my babies. They were really squeemish, but agreed and walked behing the garage to see my Chicken Tajmahal! ohhhhhhhh how cute! the lady was so excited! (I have a really cute setup) she wanted to see the girls and knew nothing about chickens. (I am here to educate my friends...
) I gave the schpeel about them, eggs, Bird, the ducks, etc.) My claim to fame, so to speak, is that my roo Bird will jump up on my back when I call him. he comes running across the yard, jumps, and lands on my back. Once in awhile he will crow too. I have a hen that will do so as well, but not when called, she just does it when she feels like it. Figuring I will show Bird off to this lady, (WRONG MOVE SISTA!) I call for him and without hesitation, he comes BOOKING across the pen and lunges for my shoulder. The lady of course has no clue what is happening and watches concerned. She sees Bird land on my shoulder and just adored it. She was totally impressed with him. Can you say 'awwwwwww'. So, I should have left well enough alone. BUT WAIT!! not only will you get Bird, you will get..... SANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and for some reason, she decided she wants to become the center of attention.
Across the pen, top speed (I bet she was thinking I had treats no doubt) her she comes! She goes to jump without looking, see's a stranger with me and she freaked. In mid air, a RSL hen flaps her wings, eyes popping out of her head, she did the unthinkable.
She LANDED on the lady and not me. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the lady (clean cut, dress pants, finished nails, proper hair, etc) gets landed on by a hen with dirty feet and has NO CLUE what to do. I was SOOOOO embarrased. I took her off the lady (I think she got scratched) and Sandy preceeded to poop. I got her off in time before the crap landed on her,but it was a really smelly one. Bird still on my shoulder floundering around because I am trying to get Sandy, her poop, etc. The lady left kinda quick dusting her blouse off and trying to smile and say they were nice.
After she left and I told my hubby what happened, he kinda laughed and said that he wondered why her face what white as a ghost and she had left outta there like a bat out of hell.
Oh well, live and learn. Glad Sandy liked her and decided not to peck her.

Fun stories...I'm crying here
This is a funny thread.
The wedgie story had me rolling.
The wedgie story had me rolling.
these aren't super embarrasing but they are all that i have:
1) I go out in the mornings to let my flock free range. 90% of the time i have coffee in my hand. Several times i have turned around to find the coffee almost gone (they want everything that i have and drink coffee...they do the same with coca cola too). lesson- do not set food or drinks down
2) I can not count the times that i have put eggs in my purse and accidently taken them to work with me
...for that matter, how many times i have came into work with chicken foot prints on my shirt or shoes with chicken poop on them.

Sometimes when we go out to collect eggs I forget a container. So I will put the eggs in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I discovered on few occasions that I have left eggs in the sweatshirt - the hard way, or should I say the dripping sticky way.
