I just want to know what has been the most embarrassing situation you had to endure do to your bpi.

My most embarrassing just happened when i had my last Surgery on my good arm and my "LOVING" wife had to "cleanse my bottom" at the Walgreen's. What a way to develop closeness

MY MOST EMBARRASSING IS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO SHAKE SOMEONES HAND LIKE AT CHURCH OR AN INTERVIEW,SINCE MY INJURY IS ROBPI I HAVE LIVED WITH IT 38 YEARS IT STILL MAKES FEEL INSECURE.

i loathe buffets. especially when there is no room to set my plate down...

My most embarrasing was whenever I was asked to write on the board in school growing up. People always looked at me weird when I would hold my arm up to the board, since I write with my injured arm.

I to have had Buffet anxiety atacks and accidents spilling...I hate BUffets. Most embaressing was 3 times I lost balance /tripped and prat fell on my face entering airplanes. I AM working on my balance problems.

When I saw the buffet posting, I about laughed. There has been countless time while at those darn buffet lines the food ends up either all over me or all over floor from not enough room.

I'm another one who hates buffets when there is not enough space to set my plate down.

The place where I was waiting tables closed down and I was hired at a restaurant that hadn't opened yet and I was scheduled as the only server for the first night, needless to say I had about 60 people come in at once. After getting about 20 plates of food out I was bringing out two trays of food and for a second forgot that my arm doesn't work quite like it should and tried to put a tray with five plates of food in my left hand and dropped them all over the floor. awesome first night.

One of my embarassing moments was just recently. I got on a neighbors bicycle and started riding and then said oh f#%&! It had hand brakes. Mine has pedal brakes and over the front I went. I am still recovering from that one.

I HATE BUFFET'S I am forever apologizing for hitting people with my elbow. That was tough when my kids were at elbow height. I have a problem with those doorways jumping out and hitting my elbow.
I find I am in constant motion and wiggle a great deal... some people notice it and have asked why I don't sit still.
