So what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done on these boards? C’mon! I won’t tell. 
This thread is better suited for In My Humble Opinion. I’ll move it for you.

On the Boards, or related to the Boards? I was having drinks after work at the Algonquin once with Ukulele Ike (oh, we get around) and discussing various posters, including a long-gone gentleman named Satan. At one point I said in loud, ringing tones that “I know way too much about Satan’s sex life,” which got us some Dark Looks indeed.
I was in a public computer room about three weeks ago with a friend.
Now I have this habit of opening up multiple boxes on my computer screen, thus being able to access a range of websites at the same time.
So we’re in this room full of people, and I want to access the SDMB and my e-mail at the same time. I usually browse several different threads at once.
So I yells to my female friend (who is on one of the computers),
“Yeah, just get three Straight Dope’s and one Hotmail!!!”
If you don’t get it, try saying it aloud
Every time I pots!
Um… well… it’s pretty embarrassing but at the very beginning (note that I’m relatively new to the boards), when I saw the extensive use of the word “doper”, I was shocked at how many people here are on drugs!!
:smack:
Now I feel silly for having turned down that invitation to a Dope-fest… I figured it wasn’t my sort of thing!! And they were just trying to be nice to the newbie!!
I haven’t had one yet … but stick around, I’ll think of something
I make it a point never to embarrass myself. I comport myself with dignity and grace at all times.
Absolutely PeeBoy!
::ducks & runs::
Hey were The T-shirts ever printed??
I’ve done a couple of boo boos.
I once got into really heatedly arguing a point with a moderator and then several people pointed out that I had misread the original point. Oops! jerk moderator 
I got at someone in a GD thread for being a real dickhead, and I was sternly admonished not to do so in GD. (Hmmpf! They were the ones being an ass!) Then, I went to the Pit and someone else had already started Pitting them, so… all I could do was add to their thread. Then, several people in the Pit told me they thought the dickhead was being an ass towards me and why didn’t I start a Pitting then? D’oh!
Ooh! Ooh! And then there was the time I used a racial slur as a thread title! I didn’t even know it could be seen as one, but I gits edumacated roight quick like, let me tell ya.
This one time, at band camp… ah, never mind…
I occasionally ask some really stupid questions in GQ.
Posting 10 thousand smilies in one post didn’t go down well.
Not embarrasing as such, but it’s a mistake that springs to mind because of the way another doper responded to it.
I said “try e-mailing their support number”
to which someone replied “or maybe you could phone their e-mail address”
Link?
Fortunately, or unfortunately (you be the judge), I don’t easily embarrass.
That being said, it’s occurred to me before that if you consider the active population of Dopers plus lurkers, and also consider the views reported for a thread, for the most part your greatest gaffes, unless they’re Pit material, are only seen by a tiny percentage of the community. Hardly anybody knows that I actually forgot to wear any pants to a Dopefest.
Every time I post I am somewhat embarrassed. I’m pretty sure that I kill threads. It’s like “Oh is she still posting here? Whatever lets move on.” Kind of like when you’re at a party and your arrival caused people to disperse and start to leave.
Not that its ever happened to me…
Um hello…anyone…
Oh, Nvme77’s here? Let’s stay and see what she does!
When I first joined I thought taht there was just one forum… so I posted everything, opinions and all, into GQ.
I embarrass pretty easily. :o :o
Apart from the usual idiocy that flows from my fingertips, I once was wooshed so hard that my skin is still in the next room: D’oh!
(Actually thought it was pretty funny and at least I was wooshed with good company.)
Thankfully my most embarassing moment was wiped from memory by the Winter of our Lost Content. My fan-boyishness had gotten the better of me.
Someone once posted a question asking what Warez was, and I hazarded a guess that it was a misspelling of the Mexican city Juarez. And either no one else noticed as they carried on the discussion around me, or they were too tactful to mention my idiocy – and around here, what are the odds of that?
But I remember, oh yes, I remember. It’s one of the minor things my mind pulls out and fondles when I’m having one of those “I’m A Moron!” days.
