Hi,people!
I always get in trouble or embarrassed with some funny situation and I will tel you one that I think that is the most embarrassing:
One day,I was going to my school by car,with my father.He chose to go in another way,because in the beginning of morning Hélio Prates is complicated.This way I didn’t know and I was noticing the way and I saw big colourful building and I thought that this building was a banqueting room.I haven’t seen the flat.And I said to my father: “Hey!Look at that building!We could have done my sister party there!” And my father answered to me: “Don’t be foll,Naiara!That is a motel!”
I was so ashamed!But now,I always laugh with this anecdote.
In the begin of the year, it was Saturday at Setor Comercial Sul(scs).Every Saturday the scs streets are washed . I have a friend and her name is Ana Paula, and in that Saturday Ana Paula was late to go working..so when Ana arrived at SCS, she started to run ,but the ground was wet and she was wearing high heel ,suddenly she tripped and fell on her knees but to get it worst, she was carrying her lunch pail and opened when she fell down ,her sausage got rolling but it wasn´t all, a lot of people was washing the street and passing ,so everybody started to smile at Ana and a man screamed :Secure Xuxa, because she has a very blond hair .
After this, Ana got up, went out and didn´t look to any side because she was very shy and left her lunch there.
I’LL FLY
I’LL NEVER FORGET THE TIME, WHEN I FLEW.
ONE DAY MY MOTHER ORDERED ME TO GO TO THE SUPERMARKET WITH MY SISTER.

WHEN WE WERE COMING BACK ,I HAD GONE UP ON A MOUNTAIN OF THE GRAVELS,WHICH WAS NEAR MY HOUSE.MY SISTER DIDN’T WANT TO GO UP AND ASKED ME TO GO DOWN.
AND THEN I REMEMBERED MY MOTHER TELLING ME NOT TO GO UP THERE.

A certain day, my mother resolved to go to the supermarket and called me to go with her. She was in the session of meats, greens, cleanliness, the whole market.
Then, we set off toward the checkout, suddenly, I repaired that there was a small bag that someone had left in checkout, saw that had three paçoca, the way I adore!!, immediately I left to pass together with the shopping. However when the woman passed I saw on the computer screen R$ 3.99, and came me the head: what expensive paçoca! But they must be better than the normal ones, by this price. But, I didn’t even care, them we put the shopping in the car and went to home. Arriving, we removed the things of the bags, the first thing for whom I looked was the paçoca, I’m crazy about paçoca! When I removed of the bag nothing else that three corks!!
angry !! :@
A certain day my sister and her boyfriend went to a college and they combined that after the class they would buy their passes fron the bus. Each one went to his class. After the class they were buying the passes but before they decided to pass on the road of pilot plan. They only had the money to buy the passes to go back home, but they forgot this detail. They were very hungry. On the road they saw a delicious fruit salad and gelatin. how they had forgotten that only had money for the passes they bought and paid the things with that money. They eat the things but when they were climbing the stairs to buy the passes my sister said: “Take the money”. My brother-in-law said laughnly: “I paid the food with the money to buy the passes and now will we do?
They began to laugh and sat on the stairs. They thought that would not go back but Suddenly my brother-in-law saw five real on the floor. He was picking up slowly to see anyone. It seems incredible that was the amount they had spent. They thought they would stay there. they thank God and Finally they completed the money and were buying the passes to go back home.

Hello people…
I don’t remember any fun history that happen to me or my relatives, I don’t know.
But I found in the internet a good anectode.
See you!
A man and a woman decide to honeymoon in an exotic land. In their desire to make it a memorable trip, they put their heads together and plan everything diligently. They decide to buy first class plane tickets, book in the most luxurious hoetl, buy smart but comfortable traveling clothes, and ready sizable amount in cash and traveler’s checks.
At the airport, thy double-check each item on their list, making sure that they have not overlooked anything.
“Do we have all our luggage?” asks the man.
“Yes,” replies the woman.
“How about the tickets?”
“I have them right here.”
“Cash and checkbook?”
“I’ve got those, too.”
The man sighs with relief. Suddenly, his face falls. It has dawned on him that thy had forgotten the most important thing of all.
Oblivious to his mood, the woman places her arms around him and whispers, “Honey, I’m sure we will have a wonderful honeymoon.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Why not, dear?”
“We forgot to get married.”
One day, I was at my school playing with some friend.
Suddenly, I don’t remember why, we started talking about the principal of our school because we hadn’t seen her until that day.
After that, we went to our history class and started to discuss about this with our classmates.
10 minutes after, when the history teacher entered into the classroom, my classmates and I asked her:
- Teacher, who is the principal of this school? We study here for 2 years and we’ve never seen her. Is it a woman or a man? Does she not work?
And we make a lot of question. After listening all the questions, she said:
- The principal is me!!!
Geeee, that moment I didn’t know where could I hide myself because I was really embarassed.
I don’t know if you agree with me, but it’s not my falt that she has never told it to us before.
I was lucky because I am very close to her. xD
HELLO PEOPLE..
WELL, EMBARRASSING SITUATIONS IS COMMON IN MY LIFE..kk
At the end of the semester in my college, after many lecture classes, all the room would have to do presentations of the contents given during the semester, when he arrived at the turn of our group, we were very nervous, after all talk, finally came to my turn ..
Our as I was nervous, unable to speak anything .. I will never forget that day .. I went through a 4 minutes without it and people looked at me and so many began to laugh. it’s very embarrassing for me..x)
Some years ago when I was in the elementary school, I participated of a basketball tournament, almost all the school was there watching the game, I was playing very well until happen the most embarassing situation of my life… My pants fell in front of the people, I became very embarassed and nervous because everybody starded to laugh, I couldn’t continue to play, then, the teacher had to put a replacement. Until today I don’t like to use loose pants and my friends remember this tragic event!
I have two friends who feel like brothers, Rogerio and Renato are brothers. We met with many years ago, we are of the same church. At first agent not talking, but one day they were in my house with his parents and I had a “shark skate.”
I called them to play me, a push the other. Played for a long time until their parents decided to go on although, as we had agreed that next Sunday I was at their house to play with. Thus began our friendship, all the weekend agent was, the friendship grew stronger every day completing years.
Today we are still friends, travel together, we are very good. And best of all, that started because of a “shark skate.” kkkkkkkkkkkk
