Instead of answering the phone "(company name) Shalom!" I've answered "(company name) Shalosh!", which is the word for three in Hebrew, and started giggling before transferring the call.
Was embaressing and amusing all together.

cool thread. i'm sure i've got a decent story or two ...
in middle school, i was probably thirteen, on one of the first days ( I was new that year, didn' know my way around) i walked into the little boy's room rigtht in front of all the popular click. these days i would find that utterly hilarious, but at that age it was soooo mortifying. sorry, not all that embarrassing, but it's really stuck with me.
or, howzabout this one. didn't happen to me, exactly, but here goes: my dad, a family friend, and me were eating lunch at a restaurant. i was two or three, small enough to be standing on the bench next to Daddy and playing with his hair. a lull in the conversation comes, and at that exact moment i say, in that piercing little-kid voice, "daddy, i can see the skin on top of your head!" at least the restaurant wasn't very crowded

Reminds me of another dangerous combination involving my little brother aged 5 at the time and a first visit to a Chinese resturant. The waiter came over to take our order and we could see my brothers eyes open wide and then we heard him loudly exclaim .... "mummy mummy, that man's got funny eyes".

cute! ok, i thought of one that would have been seriously cringe-inducing embarrassing if everyone there hadn't been very good-humored. i was babysitting as a favor for some neighbors. one of the little kids had a toy where there's colored wood balls that go on a stick, for counting and that sort of thing. he's about a year old, is playing with these things, then crawls over and hands me one of them. i'm still talking to the parents, and i'm fiddling iwth the ball (it has a hole through it). i don't know how it happened, but suddenly the ball is stuck on my finger . totally stuck. so stuck that i had to ask them for help getting it off. they couldn't. tried warm soapy water, two people pulling, finally had to squirt in some vaseline with a baby syringe. and i'm supposed to be babysitting for them! *bangs head against wall* at least we were all laughing.

Oh dear...
For this one you need to know that my name is Becky.
I used to work on a supermarket checkout. I meant to say to the customer "I'll put all your shopping through, and then I'll help you pack."
A Dad was saying to his little girl nearby who was obviously called Rebecca, "Rebecca, Rebecca, give me a hug!"
I must have subconsciously heard this, because I said to my customer: "I'll put all your shopping through, and then I'll give you a hug."
She said "that would be nice... but why?"
I went beetroot colour and wanted the floor to open up!

That sounds familiar, I do these things, too.
I just get so mortified, I can't remember them afterwards...

This is one of my most embarassing experiences, but I can now look back on it & laugh :
I went to a large high school with approx 3000 students where most people ate lunch in the huge, noisy, crowded cafeteria. Me and my friends typically ate at the less crowded areas, away from the "popular crowd". I was usually kind of nervous in the caf cause of all the people & noise. One day I had to leave lunch early & was dreading having to walk out of the caf on my own & having to pass by the popular kids' tables. So, I got up to leave my table & friends, put my bookbag on, started walking away from my table &, a few feet away, thought I heard someone calling my name. I was in a hurry to get out of there & so I didn't turn around to check who was calling me. When I was walking right by the popular kids tables I heard a big rushing 'whoosh' & then felt lightness on my back. Somehow, when I'd left my table, I had put my bookbag on upside down, resulting in all the contents falling to the ground on my way out of the caf . My friends had been the ones calling my name to tell me that my bookbag was on upside down . Anyway, one of them rushed over to help me pick my stuff up so it wouldn't get trampled on by the students coming & going. My back was turned to them when I was picking my stuff up, so I don't know if the popular kids even noticed my little accident, but I wouldn't blame them if they had noticed & laughed at me cause I now think it was a pretty hilarious thing to have happen
