Your most embarrasing "ADD" moment | ADHD Information
Hi,
My most embarassing add moment happened about 10 years ago when I was working at a resturant(ponderosa) as a waitress and I kinda had a crush on my co-worker and he was real good friends with my girlfriend who was also my co-worker. Well, she was trying to hook us up in a sweet suttle way, and I think she told him I was kinda interested in him. We were all supposed to go out and do something(another guy for her) but it never happened yet. Well, him and I were closing the store which means one person chooses to sweep the floors and one person cleans the ice cream machine. So right before the store closed, he asked, "What did you want to do tonight?" And I said, "Well, I don't really have any plans, what do you want to do?" He says, "NO I MEAN did you want to sweep or clean the sundae bar?"
I WAS SOOO embarassed. I thought he was asking me out!! LOL
And psychgirl, before meds, I used to lose things like that ALL the time, I mean it was BAD. Now it's not as bad.
There's a local general store near my house that we go to all the time. One night I walked out of the store to my car, and PRESTO, no keys. I spent the next 1/2 hour in the store, retracing my steps, looking up and down aisles, even getting on my hands and knees to look under them at one point. Customers came and went, all catching a glance of this weirdo snooping around the store.
Just as I was about to lose my mind (again), it hit me...I had walked out of my car with my keys and an empty candy wrapper in my hand. I was going to throw the wrapper away in the garbage can outside the store.
I reached in my pocket and...you guessed it...there was the wrapper. I then endured a few more humiliating moments outside the store as I went through their trash bin until, SURPRISE!!! There were my keys.
OMG GarbagePail, I am laughing so hard I am crying!!!!!I havent heard anything so funny as the grandma story in I cant think how long!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 8th grade I lost my skirt and had to go home from school wearing a garbage bag. I'll explain :)
Me and a group of kids were in charge of painting scenery for some school play. I liked the skirt I was wearing, so I changed out of it and put on a garbage bag. After the painting was done, I looked all over for the skirt and could not find it. I had to go home early on the preschool bus because the principal would not let me wear the garbage bag for the rest of the day because it was not part of the dress code.
All the three year olds on the bus were making fun of me..lol
This one's worse.
I was at a friend's house. This friend has an orangy/tan cat that's very lazy and hardly ever moves.
I saw an orangy poofy thing on the couch out of the corner of my eye, and I start petting it- ya know, mashing the hair on its head, while looking the other direction- at the tv.
My friend comes over, her eyes just completely huge with surprise, bewilderment, confusion...
I say- What's wrong?
She yells- what are you doing?!
I turn around and see that what I thought was the cat was her grandmother's head- dyed that light orangy color. I had been playing with her grandmother's hair for the past 5 minutes or so and she did not move or say a word.
I didn't even know she had a grandmother. She explained that her grandmother was living with her famil;y now because she has a severe case of alzheimers. I apologized (I didnt know. I thought she was the cat...errrr).
I was so very embarrassed.
Embarassing only to me and my ego...
A couple of weeks ago I lost my wallet--Searched everywhere for hours, in the car, under the couch, under the piles of stuff in my room, through all the laundry, called the police and the place I ate the night before, drove around town looking in parking lots, dug through trash etc...-Arrrgh!! So then I called my bank and all the other places that I had cards and then I cried and cried and cried some more! 
About an hour after my daughter came home from school she came out of her room and said "I found something you had been looking for", I asked "what" and she held out my wallet! I was so happy but then I realized that morning I had gone into my room picked up my jeans from the night before and some shoes, went to her room to use her full length mirror, sat on her bed to put my shoes on and then grabbed my old jeans (wallet falling out into her crumpled covers) transfering things from the pockets as I walked to the laundry. Stuff like this happens to me all the time and until this year I always thought it was because I was a blonde!
Not to mention the moments of "foot-in-mouthitis". A co-worker recently told me that her mother was in the hospital, and she feared that she may not ever come out. Three seconds later, having already forgotten this poor woman's state of mind, I was cracking a joke.
One time I started daydreaming at work..and eventually it crossed my mind about some funny things I saw on Comedy Central the night before. I started laughing loudly next to my co-workers for no reason and they asked me what was so funny.
