This is not my embarrassing story, but I quite enjoyed it when it was told to me.
When I was in Jr. High I was taking a gym class. At the end of the class we had to clean up all the equipment we used. The last thing to be put away were the pull out bleachers. To put them away you have to push on the bottom bench and the entire set slides into the wall. I was pushing with one foot and it was going pretty slowly, which made me think, "This would be much easier with two feet."
But, rather than sitting on the ground and pushing with both feet, I jumped up and pushed with both feet on the bottom bench. I sadly realized my mistake as my push launched me into the air. The benches had not moved, but I landed on my backside five feet away from the benches.
