What's YOUR Embarrassing Moment?

sky • 15 January 2013 at 11:15 PM

I know we all have some story to tell. If you feel it is too personal you may keep it to yourself. You are free to post more than once.

For example:

It was the beginning of my middle school year. There were tons of new faces, my goal was to make a few friends, and not be considered as a complete loner. That was already a challenge for me considering the fact that I hardly knew anyone in my class. My sister had given me a letter to give to one of my classmates, she was close to his sister which is whom the letter was from, his sister didn't live around him so both her and my sister counted on me to deliver it. Of course I've never made full contact with the kid. We were in art class being introduced to the whole subject and learning. We sat around and had some free time to spare. So I got up, pulling the letter out from my bag, walking over, just a few steps for me to get there, slip, and fall flat on my face with a big THUNK. Now it's all eyes on me, some laughter and some, "Are you okay?" So I swiftly get back on my feet, hand him the letter, walk back to my seat and dig my face into my sweater.

On a side note, I dated him the year later. Things got BAD. It was the downfall of my teenage years.

That is all very true.

Oh so horrible well let me tell mine.

I was walking from my science room to band right. And on my way I took out m water bottlw to take a drink when some jerk of a kid shover into me knocking hte water out of my hand and it hits none other than my pants. Next thing I know it looks like I peed my pants and I'm hiding in the back of band class behind the bass drum trying not to be seen. And it got woarse from ther not telling THAT though.

In my high school, we had an open campus, meaning, you had to actually go outside and walk to each building (math, science, ect)

Well there was this hill, WITH a railing, but everyone would gather around this hill and wait for the freshman to slip/slide down it when it was winter. I'd say the hill was like.. 20 long? It was huge!

Anyway. My SENIOR year, I fell down the entire thing, taking people out.

I just got up and laughed it off, but I had the biggest bruise on my butt. Haha

It was horrible. Like 1,000 people saw me doit ☹️

@Sky
In third grade, I got into the spelling bee and made it to the second round. I have this habit, where I'll say something Nd then search my mind (like during a test) for the rest of the answer, then if I was right I just repeat myself. The word was thief. "T-H-I-E-F..." I trailed off, and consistent with my habits, "...F."
"I am sorry, that is incorrect. There is only one 'F' in 'thief.' You may find your class and have a seat," the judge droned.
"But I was only confirming with that last 'F!'" I protested, backing off stage like a startled animal.
"I am sorry, we cannot accept it if you do not make yourself entirely clear."

So to me that was pretty embarrassing, probably the worst thing I've done in my life.

@Cynder5 - Oh man! I've had several water bottle incidents, just not that kind, I normally have that incident when using the bathroom sinks.

It was lunch time and I was sitting next to a few of my friends. My friend had shaken her bottle aggresively, the others including I had laughed, she questioned us on why we were laughing, I simply attempted to mock her by taking my bottle and aggresively shaking it, but knowing me, I forgot I had the cap off and I pounded the bottle against the table, that's when I came into the realization the cap wasn't on. The water came shooting out of the bottle and poured onto everyone around the table.

@Cheeseburger - Your school sounds incredibly large compared to my schools that I've been too. That sounds painful! I would've been the same and just have laughed it off.

@Whitefire - I was never in a spelling bee, well in third grade we'd have spelling bees in class, we'd be separated into groups, I'd be the only one raising my hand every now and then getting the points for my team. I was very confident on getting this one word but I messed up forgetting that there's a second L. Not that I remembered the word. But that sounds horrible. I still think it wasn't all that fair.

NOTE: I'm on my iPhone so if something doesn't make complete sense it's due to auto-correct.

I went to the biggest private school in the US ^^

I don't live there anymore, so I feel comfortable saying my school name. Google Pinkerton Academy. It's in NH

sky • 15 January 2013 at 11:41 PM

@Cheeseburger - Whoa. THAT was your school. I drive by it every weekend when I go grocery shopping with my parents. I live in the state of Vermont, not too far from there though, it only takes a thirty minute drive to get there and we normally go past the building.

OMG!! That's sooo funny!! Yeah! I grew up in Derry, NH!

My husband and I moved to Colorado ^^

OMG. I've had some pretty embarresing moments where I want to crawl in a hole and die! But other moments where I want to wallow in self pitty,so yeah thanks for making this topic.
~
When i was in third grade,I wet my pants,during the spelling test,I traded chairs with the kid next to me,so it was all good until the kid says."**** peed her pants and traded chairs with me!" i of course said it was a lie and he got a strike on the white board. i still feel kinda bad though...

@sky

I embarrass myself all the time xD

This is one of my ("appropriate") stories.

My old school is on a hill, so the back entrance is two flights of stairs. Well, the back is where the buses load/unload. So one day, it was raining. Hard. And I was walking down the stairs. (I'm very clumsy, so I'm always careful when walking down stairs. In gym, I'd have to hold hands walking down the bleachers since there was no railing xD) I get down to like the last three/four steps when my friend comes running and she grabs my hand. And I fall & slip down the last few stairs, in front of half of my school. So I'm covered in mud and all wet. To make it worse, I'm in a uniform white shirt and khakis, so it's very noticeable ;-; Not to mention, I already stick out in this school due to my race.

Another one. I am extremely afraid of bugs. My school is also old and all, so there are many bugs. Well! In first period, I used to sit in the back of the row, by the window. I usually sit side ways in my desk, so I can talk to friends xD And I notice this little thing crawling in my side view. So I jump up, screaming, and pushing everything off of my desk. My teacher was in the middle of teaching. Everyone stopped and looked at me. Only for a friend to tell me the bug is on the outside of the window ;-;

I have a last one but I think I'm going over the limit o: xD

neko-chan • 20 January 2013 at 7:20 AM

embarrassing things happen to me all the time, but this is one of them.Cx

we where going to ice skate (me and 2 of my friends) in our school. I put my ice skates on and helmet and was going down the stairs to get there, when i suddenly slipped on some ice and fell down the stairs. and i'm one of the most childish kids in my class so i said "EH! AH! OH! SQUEEEE!" and it sounded really funny.Cx and there where like, 40 kids around me that started laughing.xD

^that is just one out of my millions of embarrassing moments^

@sky
one time in pe i dropped my necklace and the pe teacher came over to give it back to me, she just said "put up your hand" or so it sounded, i thought she wanted a high 5 cos thats what she normaly wants from people when they do well in pe, so i put up my hand awkwardly (i hate high fiveing teachers) and she looked at me like, err what are you doing, it was so awkward, then she said, put out your hand and then i realized that was what she said :/ it was very embarrassing, but now that im typing it it sounds stupid haha

newlife • 22 January 2013 at 9:10 PM

@Sky
Wow, there are many of these XD
Okay... So I was in PE and the teacher was talking and I was listening and then here comes this fly.... and I started flapping my arms around my head so it wouldn't bug me and my teacher stopped and she was like, "What are you doing?" in this really angry voice and I was like, "There's a fly bugging me," and someone got up and smashed the fly between their fingers then stepped on it. I think everyone enjoyed that one. XD But that was so embarrassing... DUMB FLY.

Deleted • 22 January 2013 at 9:14 PM

Every moment of my life. xD No it was probably this. xD



So its the open house for my brand new middle school and I'm all exited. Yeah I'm a middle scholar so cool! So it was raining and I'm running inside and fall on my face... in front of EVERYBODY! and somebody was like "Your a little too excited dork." I almost punched them. xD

stellie • 22 January 2013 at 9:28 PM

My worst embarresment of all time had to be in November 2012, I went up to my english class during my lunch period, knowing that Andrew (my crush) was going too. I sat down with my friend Micheal a few desks away from him, We were on my phone and my tone came on! I quickly trued to find an excuse and I said "Oh nothing, that was just a fart" Michael laughed hysterically, i would have too put then i realized Andrew was there and he completely thought I was INSANE! Guess who Im still chasing today? Not everyone can handle my humor...

jennifer • 22 January 2013 at 11:08 PM

@cynder5 Happened to me once, the trick is to spill water over the whole FRONT of your shirt so it looks like an accident rather than a pee stain. 😸

It started out as a normal day in Pre-school/daycare. Somehow, the school I went to served breakfast. So, earlier that day, I found a bracelet in my mom's room and I wanted to show it to my friends. I wore it to school and we had waffles that day. The syrup was really sticky and I got it all over me, it was trying to wipe it off with a napkin and was polishing the syrup off my mom's bracelet when I accidentally broke it! Beads spilled EVERYWHERE. I was crying (for some reason) and trying to gather all of the beads but everyone was laughing and my teacher thought it was really cute and didn't bother helping me pick up the beads. I guessed later that the bracelet was REALLY valuable. She probably thought it was one of those cheap ones you get from the dollar store. But, anyway, I wouldn't stop crying so she had to call home. My mom came but she stopped and saw all of the beads across the floor and yelled at me, making it worse and I was crying harder. My "friends" were jerking at me and making faces behind my mom's back...

evilyowling • 22 January 2013 at 11:21 PM

All these embarrassing moments make me feel slightly embarrassed. xD

Well I'll share one of mine. 😸 I was walking home from school, in my school uniform and such. I was walking behind some slow paced lady with her little kids. I'm a fast paced so guess what happened?! I accidental stepped on the back of her high heel shoes and it just went smack onto her foot and she tripped. :s

Did I forget to mention it was CROWDED and where this happened was in an open spot. O.o It was so awkward...

celeste • 23 January 2013 at 3:29 AM

@sky

Wellll..... Let's just say I suddenly broke into dancing randomly (World is Mine dance and Nyan Nyan dance) and people were staring at me, and I didn't stop until me friend told me I looked retarded.

Also, I was singing, too. D:

And, that one time I volunteered to play piano in front of the class and then realise that I forgot EVERY single note and stopped every few seconds and then eventually gave up in front of my thirty peers :l

angelita1113 • 23 January 2013 at 6:32 PM

we had class out side one day and it was very windy and a huge gust of wend came right after that this cute boy came over and said the wind just took your shirt and I was like huh and my best friend came and whispered you forgot to where a bra and I ran to the bathroom so embarrassing.

lucky_cricket • 23 January 2013 at 7:00 PM

@angelita1113 That's horrible. It makes my stories slightly less embarrassing. I'm sorry that happened to you, I can't believe the wind took your shirt!

@sky ok mine (please note, I always embarrass myself in front of the same guy, a guy I really like. It's kind of made us friends, but is also the source of many inside jokes.)

Here's the first embarrassing thing I did in front of that guy:

Ok, so it's the first week of school, my second year in high school. Maybe the third or fourth day. It's still fall, so warm enough outside. I washed my hair that morning, and smelled strongly of shampoo, so of course, at recess, attracted wasps. I was outside, eating lunch with my friends, when a wasp starting flying around me. I am deadly afraid of wasps, it's the only thing that scares me. I try to be still, hoping it will go away, but it lands on my face and starts crawling around. At that point, I gave up on my "be still" idea. I stood up and started running in no particular direction, screaming my head off with my eyes closed, waving my arms around. So, I run straight into the guy that I have a crush on! Like, really fast, and I trip over him and he falls too, so we're both on our faces in the grass. He's also a pretty popular guy, so am I but I belong to a different "group" of friends. So, he's with a ton of people when this happens, and they all see this and are laughing like crazy. He stands up and helps me up, and we've been friends ever since. The only thing is, no one will let me forget about it.

plushie • 23 January 2013 at 11:50 PM

I farted in class 0.o

gggaaahhh1 • 24 January 2013 at 12:25 AM

I had the hiccups in math class, and my friends and I started laughing about it, and the more I hiccuped the more I laughed, and then I laughed so hard I cried. I was basically a giggly mess when the teacher told me to get some water.

rainbowrocks • 24 January 2013 at 12:33 AM

These are funny and sad!
One time, a water bottle spilled on my head. A dorky nerd geek poured it on my head. 😋

sky • 25 January 2013 at 6:03 PM

Just the other day I was sitting in my advisory classroom, there's only about eight students in the classroom. My adviser had suggested we play a game, he told us the name and the details of it, didn't sound much of interest to me, he pulled two tables together and said, "Feel free to join me here. If you don't want to play you don't have to.", so I just sat back in my chair all relaxed saying, "Yeah, I'd rather sit her and do nothing productive.", everyone ends up getting up and sitting at the table leaving me out, so I get up and as I'm walking over to the table, I'm all, "You all suck.", and right at that moment I trip on my backpack, and my friend Jim says, "Karma doesn't approve."

cynder5 • 1 February 2013 at 12:00 AM

Oh I have more.
In church I decided to bring my friend who I am no longer friends with. It ahs to do with this incudent. So we were waiting outside for my dad to get out and take us home when my "friend" and my real friend were spinning my friend hit my "friend" and she fell on top of me and my friend fell and barley tapped my "friend". I hit hte ground with a thud and then you can hear my "friend" saying that she did'nt mean to and it was my friend's fault when she was the one to fall on me. So I cired for a good 20 minutes. Got taken to the ER and discovered I had a sprianed wrist.

Deleted • 8 February 2013 at 7:33 AM

@celeste @gggaaahhh1 haha you just described my life xD 😊

embarrassing story:
one time this guy i was sitting next to in maths looked over at my computer and asked who was in my wallpaper, as i replied the name i hiccuped which for some reason made me need to start coughing so i shoved my mouth onto my arm and started coughing (i didnt wanna just say i started coughing cos i do cover and hate when people dont haha) and this guy is just sitting there looking like he regretted asking haha

zero_chaos • 8 February 2013 at 8:37 AM

@bubblez

Hahaha, that story with the bug is priceless xD My mother used to do things like that all the time, since she's deathly afraid of bugs as well, but I don't believe I've ever seen her scream at a bug on the outside of a window 😋

This story comes way back from my freshman year of high school. I was sitting through a math lecture, and mind you, I'm the only freshman in the class -- the rest were juniors, aside from one other sophomore. I'm sure anyone that's been through high school is aware of how much the freshman were made fun of, especially by the upperclassmen, and I was no exception. I also have this issue that I tend to laugh at very inappropriate times, and I can never seem to stop.

While handing in my exam to the teacher, I walk back to my seat (which is front and center... I believe that teacher wasn't very fond of freshman either considering the fact that she put me there xD), and trip over a backpack on the way there. On the way down to the floor, I find myself cursing in what seemed like slow motion until I land flat on my face, at which point I begin laughing hysterically. Little did I know that a principal was sitting in the back of the room observing the class, so from her, I received a detention for using foul language in school. Still laughing, I receive another detention from my math teacher for "disrupting the class during an exam." Can you guess who's backpack I tripped over? Yeah, it was mine xD Only detentions I've ever gotten, and I couldn't be more proud of them! (Not to mention that I was also the official laughingstock of the class from then on...)

ninjagirl • 9 February 2013 at 7:46 AM

Oh man e.e
This one time, a good few years ago, I was at my best friends and it was getting really late and dark, so her mom makes her brother and his friend walk me home. Her brother is about 3 years older than me and he looks even older for his age, and I, at the time, was kinda nervous around him... But anyway, as we are walking down the street he says, 'Who would you rather walk down a dark alley with, me or Luke?' And then I get all nervous, manage to choke out the word 'neither' and then start laughing so hard that it becomes a silent laugh :'D and then I walk into a tree. He was like, 'Ciara, you are odd.'
I was about 10 or 11 at the time and he already looked 16, and so I guess I was just really nervous XD
