      Hi Harleyhammer7

      The most embarrassing thing I have ever done was to bang my knee on the edge of my desk drawer. I managed to hit it right in the sport where your reflexes meet and it caused me to pass out! When I passed out I fell off my chair and banged my head on the floor knocking myself unconscious and was laying on the office floor covered with all my paperwork like out of the scene in a movie! Had to go to hospital and everything! Well embarrassing!

      I forgot to tidy up my skirt after I went to the loo one day as I was nervous and in a rush. It ended up that I was walking around in the office for good 5-10 minutes exposing my tights… Everybody was too polite to notify me… Will never ever happen again!

      I was helping to run an experiment in a diving simulator which mimics going 30m underwater to see the effect of pressure on our blood vessels. As part of this we took blood samples, we thought we planned to take blood safely with the change in pressure. What we forgot was that when we ‘resurfaced’ the pressure in the air would be less than that in the blood tubes. It was a good job we put the tubes in a special box as the tops of the tubes suddenly started to fly off. If it wasn’t for the box, the whole dive chamber would have been sprayed with blood. We were very lucky that a days experiment was not ruined.
