Mine is:
I was playing soccer in middle school and we were short players so we had to play the entire game with no subs. It was close to the end of the game and I really had to go #2. I tried holding it but my stomach was cramping up (it was middle of the summer in TX) and I thought I could hold it....NOPE....RIGHT as the game ended, i was sprinting my way to the restroom and I didnt make it...luckily only my dad found out about it as he was my ride home and I had to explain why I needed new clothes!
Mine actually happened this week. I was working out with my trainer, and I was doing step ups on a box with dumbbells. Coming down I didn't plant my foot all the way and fell flat on my back, dumbbells still in hand. Everyone in the area turned around and looked at me. I was fine, so I think that made it even more embarrassing.
While running on a popular running path, I fell and badly sprained my ankle. Runners were passing me as I sat crying on the side of the path, so I crawled and hid behind a bush and called my husband to come help me home.

That's terrible!! Nobody stopped to help or check on you??

I've never crapped myself, but I did once overflow a tampon during swim practice. It's not noticeable in the water, so I didn't really notice until I got out of the water and was standing around talking to the coach. Then I felt a drip and was like, "oh, okay ... I need to get going" and waddled off real fast. By the time I got inside and into the toilets, it was totally running down my leg.
OMG, so embarrassing. But I don't think anyone else noticed. I hope.

I was in a Step Aerobics class a few years back and I went to make a turn over the step and instead tripped over my own feet and landed flat on my butt. The class was packed and I was near the front....I wanted to leave SOOOO bad. But suffered through.

When I saw someone coming I would put my head down and pretend like I was just sitting and taking a breather. I wanted to be able to cry and inspect my "wound" in private so at the time it felt completely logical to crawl on my hands and knees behind the bush.
My husband will never let me live down this story!
A couple months ago I was riding and a car came way too close to me and almost clipped me. This caused me to completely lose my balance, go into a wild swerve, and fall over sideways in the middle of the road. Thankfully it was a back country road so there was no traffic, but I fell in such a way that I couldn't clip out...so when a car did come, I was lying in the road, trying to drag myself (still clipped in to my damn bike) over to the side. The guy got out of the car and was all "OMG!!" I was fine, and I had to get him to jerk my heel up for me to get me unclipped. '
I felt like an ass laying in the road, stuck on my bike.

Last year I did a mini-tri through my gym. I did ok on the swim and ended up transitioning to what was supposed to be like an 8 mile bike. My BFF was trying out a new bike and hadn't been on the bike at all before so I was riding with her super slowly. I lost the pack totally (and my bff chickened out and turned around,) so I was trying to follow the little arrows, but missed a right turn and ended up riding 14 miles instead of 8! My bike was brand new and I didn't have my computer on it, but thankfully I knew the town so could figure out how to get back to the gym. But most of the tri people were finishing up the run and there was a big group of people (bff included) searching for me. Of course I had left my cell phone in the gym locker-duh.
I've been pretty embarrassed lately thanks to my clipless pedals...
But, my most embarrassing was at a dance fitness class when I was in college. We were doing a high kick. I kicked so high in the air that my other foot followed, and I landed flat on my back. Ha! It was terrible.
A few years ago I had a REALLY HEAVY period. I went swimming. It was probably one of those periods in which I just should have stayed home that day it was that bad. i swam my little heart out. Got out of the pool, went to my locker, doddled around trying to get my shampoo out of my locker. I looked down on the ground and it was a pool of water and blood. It looked like I slashed myself. I hastily took the WHITE gym towel and cleaned up my bloody horror and quickly stuffed the towel in my bag, walked to the bathroom and did what I needed to do and went home.

I have a pretty recent one... on my last period I went for along run with my running club. I had a diva cup in, but apparently I didn't get it suctioned correctly. I ended up leaking EVERYWHERE and it was horrifying. TG I had decided to wear black tights that day instead of colored shorts. I always triple check the seal now before I head out. I'm all paranoid now because I'm supposed to get my period 2 days before my half in a week and I do not want to deal with this!!
Last year, I fell off the TM at the gym. Lesson learned: be careful when watching action movies in the movie room. Especially one you haven't seen yet. Unexpected explosions=jumping just enough to land with one foot on the belt and one foot on the plastic lip on the side, resulting in flying off the back of your TM.
Luckily, I was in the movie room and it was fairly late for my gym (8pm-ish?) so not only was it dark in there, it was empty except for the person on the bike in front of me so no one had to bear witness to my wipeout. I got up, hopped around for a sec to make sure I wasn't hurt, then got back on the TM. Because of course, these things happen when you've only got half a mile left to go before cooldown...
The really funny part was the convo I had with my H after. Me: "Babe, guess what happened at the gym today?!" Him: "Holy shit you fell off the TM, didn't you?! I knew that was going to happen eventually." What can I say? The man knows me too well.
I had the overflowing tampon issue at a swim meet when I was a teenager. I had no family there, no extra tampons, and no money. Awful.
However, the most embarrassing was probably my farting during workouts while pregnant. Even if they couldn't be heard, they could definitely be smelled!
1. In high school gym class, we were doing step aerobics. Next thing I knew, I lost my footing and fell right on my ass and it was witnessed by other high school kids. Remember, high school kids suck and won't ever let you live anything down.
2. About 7 years ago I fell off a treadmill at the gym. It was 5:30 am and thankfully not too full, but enough people saw. I tried to catch myself but I ended up hitting my shoulder on the side and making a weird twisting move that caused me to need physical therapy on my shoulder for 6 whole months. Even now, I sometimes in that shoulder feel tightness when I run and I know it's from the injury.

About a year ago I was listening to music on my old iPhone while running on the treadmill. I didn't have an armband for the phone at that time so I just had it sitting on the little shelf on the treadmill. As I was running my arm caught the headphone cord and my iPhone went flying. It hit the treadmill just right and went shooting back underneath a machine behind me, which was, of course, occupied. Totally destroyed the screen on my iPhone, too.
I was at a horse show and got my period unexpectedly... Got a nice stain on my $200 breeches! Luckily I was able to borrow a pair from someone... Ugh. Being a girl sucks sometimes!
My first year on the high school cross country team, I had just finished running 3 miles straight for the first time ever. When I returned to the high school from the run, I saw my mom's car waiting in the parking lot. I jumped in, a hot sweaty mess, grabbed a water bottle off the floor, opened it and was about to take a big swig when I realized - oops! Not my mom's car. Not my mom. And now this other mom is staring at me in complete surprise. In my defense, it was the same car, and the lady's haircut was similar to my mom's. Still, I was super embarrassed.

That is hysterical! I can't imagine what that mom was thinking, that's too funny.

Not H&F related but I did this after a Girl Scout meeting one night in 3rd or 4th grade. At least it was my friend's dad and not a random parent, but I was pretty embarassed.
I've actually gotten upset in the parking lot when my car won't unlock and have gotten a bit violent with the door handle, only to realize suddenly that it's not my car (my model is pretty common in my area). I marvel that I've never set off a car alarm.
I was on a treadmill running at the gym when I heard a big rip. I stopped and looked. A good portion of the outside of my capris let loose and I had a good portion of skin showing. Funny thing is I really didn't feel like running that day and because of that my run was cut short. I was glad that I was on an end treadmill near the locker rooms.
