Most Embarrassing Moment As An Employee

I found a thread in general the other day on the topic of most embarrassing moment in the park. Well, what is your most embarrassing moment as an employee? I have a few:

1) 2011- my first year, I was on a break in Stockade back in Fronteirtown and a seagull pooped on my railroad overalls, and of course just my luck, everyone else on their break witnessed it.

2) 2012- my second year, it was the day after Father's Day and I was working in Camp Snoopy. Erie County had just gone on a Tornado Warning, so my area had to take cover underneath Gemini. On the way over there, I swallowed a bug, and next thing I know; protein spill (vomit) in Gemini's flooded basement with other employees and Gemini's guests who were waiting for the weather to clear.

3) 2012- again second year, one month later; one of the cars stalled in the covered bridge on Antique Cars. I got the car started again and went to re-latch the hood and slipped off of the front bumper and cut my head on the bridge, went to First Aide trying not to get blood on the track.

One year, I was a costume character (Snoopy). We would have various special appearances here or there such as Coral Courtyard or the Pavilion near the Blue Streak. If we did an appearance at Coral Courtyard, my escort and I would walk in one way, then exit a different way. This was to prevent guests figuring out that I was the guy who was just in the costume. One day, I was leaving the back way and I set off the alarm at Coral Courtyard. I got the supervisor and explained what I did.

I also knocked down the sign promoting the Catholic Mass at Hotel Breakers while in costume...

LOL, I am sorry but setting off the alarm sounds like something me and my family would do, LMAO.

I once told a guy with one arm to keep both arms inside the car.


OMG, that would be embarrassing, but I guess it happens.

My first year I was giving breaks to the outside merchandise stores, which includes Sandcastle gifts and Camper Village. I didn't know where exactly I was going to get to Camper Village and I got lost on my way...

You are in good company. VP Biden once asked a man in a wheelchair to "Stand Up" so he could be Recognised.

First day on the job, walking in by MaxAir and at the peak of the swing the most vigorous Protien Spill I have ever seen before or since goes off in a big curving arc of (apparently) Perkins pancakes.

I froze on the spot at the end of the games L...

...and FLORP it lands in a meters long line ***right*** in front of me and pummels 2 guests...

So I take them to the restrooms behind games to rinse off and all I could think to myself was: "Is it like this every day?"

It hasn't been. But I have been shat on by seagulls twice in 5 years... both time while giving directions to guests...

Whee.

So I was having a pretty bad day and I was finally going home....I go to cross Maverick's train my leg got caught balancing and I fell in front of everyone. It was in the midst of loading trains and literally the whole platform went silent. It was so embarrassing. I laughed and cried it off hahahaha.
I've had other various embarrassing moments but that one stands out the most!

That's an easy fix. Don't give directions to guests.
