Probably my most embarrassing moment in life (and, as you'll see, most awesome) was getting fired from my first job at 16, at a grocery store, for MEOWING LIKE A CAT TO CUSTOMERS IN THE DAIRY SECTION AS I HID BEHIND GIANT VINYL DOORS.
We all did it - coworkers and myself - and customers would come back in the warehouse area, look around, yell "is there a cat back here or something?" and we'd be hiding in various forts and areas of concealment that we built out of wooden pallettes, boxes, high up on shelves, etc. or hiding in the ice coolers.
So one day I was back there meowing, then stopped, then found some old wool sweater and started to cut the sleeves off to make it look Nirvana-ish, and our boss came out from behind some boxes and goes "Who's back here meowing like a cat?" and all I could think of to say was, "That was me today, we do it to entertain the customers." Boss goes, "well I just had a customer say she's never shopping here again because she thinks we have cats running loose in the store."
Anyhow, I got fired and the embarrassing part was that I was a pretty good employee and he told me that, but that he couldn't keep me there after this. My termination form actually said Reason for Termination: was meowing like a cat at customers.
I still get a kick out of it even to this day.
