Self-inflicted horrors you'd love to take back
Model Christine Teigen (@chrissyteigen) asked her twitter followers for most embarrassed moments, claiming that her own mortally cringe-worthy experience had been written and sent to her lawyer, to be tweeted when she died. Yet her followers were more forthcoming ...
1.
"I'm a wedding photographer and we were setting up family photos. I started yelling, 'I need the bride's parents! Bride's parents! Can someone find the bride's parents?' Finally someone said, 'I suppose we could make a visit to the cemetery.' They'd died when she was younger."
2. "I worked as a waiter at a trendy restaurant in NYC during college (I had never been one before) and I tripped and spilled a pomegranate margarita on Christy Turlington's white dress while she was having lunch with Vera Wang."
3. "Waiting tables. Broke a woman's nose with a salad plate."
4. "Accidentally cc-d the employee I was demoting on an email to HR detailing her various short-comings."
Dry as a bone
"The flowers outside Takapuna Library are dying of neglect," says a reader. "The nearby Hurstmere Green has similarly been neglected. The council is always telling us what a wonderful vibrant place they are going to make Takapuna. A little bit of watering could help."
