+Thrak Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I once stepped out of some bushes and discovered a muggle staring at me. I had the cache in my hand so I slipped it into my pocket and tried to "act casual" until he went away. He kept staring....... I put my hands in my shorts pockets and started strolling around. No matter where I strolled this guy kept staring at me like I was some kind of perv who had been in the bushes doing something weird. This went on for quite a while. FINALLY I had wandered far enough from the cache that, when I turned back, the guy watching me was far enough away that I could put the cache back. I replaced the cache and headed back for my truck. When I got home I realized that my fly was open. When I put my hands into my pockets to "act natural" it totally spread the fly WIDE open. Hmmmmmmm............ guy comes out of the bushes with his fly open and then proceeds to wander around the park with his hands in his pockets which pulls the fly really wide open. I wonder why the guy was looking at me strangely......... Quote
+Team FIREBOY Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I slipped and fell into a deep creek in the early spring and was hypothermic. The embarrasing part of this was that it was my first caching trip and I kept looking even after I was stopped shivering (duh, I should have left after getting wet) and I didn't find the cache. I had to strip down to being nude in the back of our SUV while hubby drove to get me home. We got pulled over by a police officer because he was speeding. It was funny to explain why I was naked and sitting crunched down in the back. We went back the next day and Found the cache.... 30 feet away from the place I slipped on the bank of the creek. Quote

You could at least have posted pics on the cache site! Quote
olskool53 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Well as i was being attacked by yellow jackets i striped off my shorts and shirt on the trail in front of a family that was out for a hike. And woke up an hour later in the ER...............So I guess my strip tease was justified? LOL Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) I guess I don't embarass as easily as I used to. But! There's a mystery cache (ALR) in Times Square that requires a web cam picture with you (or your team) holding the "Found It" sign hidden in the cache. I must have been standing in Times Square for twenty minutes holding the "Found It" sign before our computer guru downleaded the pictures. Probably only a few thousand people passed by us! Didn't bother me in the slightest. Not even the people passing by who asked "What did you find?" Edited August 21, 2007 by Harry Dolphin Quote

nobby.nobbs Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 you can give out details as character references when the authorities pick you up for insanity Quote
+Rockin Roddy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Have I ever done something embarassing while caching? Of course, all the time! Will I share them with you here...and be embarassed again?? Not likely! OK, every time I go caching with a certain friend, I get hurt! Not badly (most of the time), just enough to keep me in pain for a day or two. Our last outing cost me a pulled groin muscle as I did the splits while standing on a steep slope...one leg up, the other behind. The slope was pretty slick and I just couldn't stop splitting (had container in hand). Not overly embarassing as I did this behind cover...but when we came out of the bushes, my companion decided to "roll" down the other steep slope to the parking lot! She was mud covered and hurting, but we couldn't stop laughing at ourselves (nor could the people who saw this happen). No need for a trip to the hospital, but I needed to be driven home by mty friend's husband who kept asking why she always beats on me. Quote
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Any DNF is embarassing enough. Stepped on a cactus. I know better than that. Really. Couldnt resist the lure of a cache when I was dressed in the ugliest housedress. I hadnt planned on getting out of the car when Mike was looking for a cache. Only a few people saw me lol. I guess I dont really have any funny stories. Quote
+elephantmama Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I changed my shirt in a parking lot yesterday, right next to some nice Orthodox ladies. I was covered in ticks and needed to get my shirt off and the kids were all changing in the van. I did jump into the van to change my pants. I at least spared them that view! Quote
+sduck Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 left a dump in the woods... found jhwk's dump and thought it was the cache Quote
+Recdiver Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Well there was the time I fell down the side of a rocky scree...took nothing, left blood & flesh. Then there was the time I fell down while while climbing down an embankment on the beach...took sand, left blood. Then there was the time I fell down the side of a small mountain...took brambles, branches, dirt and rocks, left blood and skin. There there was the time... Quote
philip1234 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 the time i was looking for a micro (right next to my house to. youd think i woulda noticed all the activity...) and there all the ppl slowing down in thier cars like, what the heck? call the police! Quote
+briansnat Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I woke up in the middle of the night to check my e-mails and see if there were any new cache notifications. There was one so I bolted right out the door and drove the the cache site. Trouble is that I sleep naked. Well it didn't happen but it could have. Quote
