My crowning moment? I went back to university around age 40. As I was starting a new degree, I had to take a couple of lower lever classes for the new BA. (I'm tiny and don't look my age, so it was easy to blend in.)
It was winter, I was wearing the normal short skirt and boots everyone else had on, and I finally found a seat in the crowded room.
It was the first day, and the professor wanted everyone to stand when he called their name. Well, my name was called, and I started to stand....
Apparently, I forgot that the chair and desk are attached... Next, thing you know I am sitting on the floor below the desk! The guy next to me about fell out of his seat laughing! He said it looked like a head popped up and then the rest of me "slithered" down between the seat and the desk before landing on my bottom on the floor!
He said the expression on my face, when he looked under the desk was so comical that he almost fell out of his seat laughing... The WHOLE class was cracking up (including the professor!). I'm talking tears of laughter!
I wanted to just crawl out of there and never come back! When the class laughter died down, and I had crawled out from under my desk (which started everyone laughing again), the professor thanked me by name for a happy start to the day!!
