Whether or not the OP was pissed in the piano teacher's garden, I imagine that a new piano teacher will very soon have to be found.

In my judgement, the OP ought also to be embarrassed about spelling the first word of the thread topic "embarrising".

I was working at Wilson's Department store and this man started hyperventilating in the toy section.   I ran to the PA system and in my most calm and professional voice I said

"Attention, security, I have a customer by the balls who requires assistance..."

even the guy who was hyperventilating busted out laughing..

I was playing cymbals on a marching song, two handed, in the rehearsal hall.  One came untied. CRASH!!!.  The director stopped so everybody could look at me.  Oops, was all I could say.

One time I was at Wendy's after church (which I don't eat out, even fast food, very often) so it was kind of special. And I was wearing my nice church clothes. For some reason, this chili was really, REALLY hot, like temperature hot. It had to be like 200+ degrees. I took a bite and got a 19th degree burn on my tongue. I was like AHHHH. Then I looked around like "whoops". So I decided to stir it to cool it down. Well somebody was telling a good story, so I just stirred and stirred, it wasn't cooling down. Anyway, I kept stirring, watching the person telling the story, when I didn't notice that the cup was moving closer and closer to the edge of the table. Towards me. SPLAT! The blistering, sizzling, bubbling chilli landed clean on my lap! ALL over me! I was like
