Embarrassing Stories

[Freesia]

Have you ever embarrassed yourself really badly? What happened? Share a story if you'd like. :)

My life is such an embarrassment sometimes. One time I was in the hallway walking to class with my friends (my classroom was at the end of the hallway), and I guess I wasn't paying much attention because I randomly tripped and fell hard on the floor. I scraped my knee so hard that I was bleeding, and this happened right in the hallway in front of my friends and students and staff members.

I'll share another embarrassing story to add to this thread. One time I was in the ladies' room, and no one else was there, so for whatever reason I decided to start singing to myself, and I didn't even realize how loud I was and you can probably guess what happened next. A girl from another class walked in and heard me singing, and she told me I was annoying. I was so embarrassed and I never talked to her after that (because we never really spoke to begin with).

I'm rarely embarrassed by stuff I do, others around me usually express second-hand embarassment though which, through various chain-effects have made me embarrassed too. So I'm not sure if those count too, but sharing hasn't killed anyone yet, so why not tell few?

- In middle school I used to goof around with my classmate/friend. During a break between some long-ass classes we were just damn bored and started playing with small rocks my friend had picked up throwing them through the corridor floor we were sitting a little away from our noisy classmates. We decided to start competing which of us could throw it further (if it springed back from walls it didn't count) and started inventing weird sounding words at the same time. Our classmates didn't see any point in our fun (and we obviously didn't care much about their gossiping groups either) and expressed embarrassment out loud. Some even became angry of our apparently childish games. Perhaps what made it embarrassing in the end was that me nor my friend didn't really "get" why they're angry with us/why would our own game bother a group we weren't part of. The rocks didn't fly their way nor anyone else's either, few years after I started considering maybe it was socially awkward to them.

- That singing story reminded me of that one moment I was living with a flatmate. One day I assumed she had gone out with her boyfriend, so I felt damn good about the lovely silence in the apartment. Actually a bit too good, since I started humming some foreign songs I had been listening to recently, trying to sing those parts of lyrics which I could say approximately right. I'm clearly not good controlling my singing voice and I feel like I start sounding a bit retarded when trying to, so it's obvious I refuse singing anywhere where there's a little risk of someone hearing. The momentary excitement turned into huge embarrassment when my flatmate appeared out of nowhere (from her room?). During that small, silent awkward moment she just stared me weirdly but didn't say anything. I quckly slipped into my room for the next five hours. X'D She never said anyting about it afterwards.

In high school I refused to use my locker so I carried everything in my backpack. (Lockers are time wasters.) I dropped my pencil in the hall so I went to pick it up. Tried to get back up. The back pack weighed more then me. I tilted sideways and then I proceeded to slow mo face plant onto the floor. In-front of like 30 people. -_-

Something similar happened to me. I had a heavy backpack full of books for the day and went to the tutoring room for, well, tutoring. Instead of chairs, the room had bar stools as the tables were high (guess at one point it used to be a lab). I picked up my backpack ready to leave when I lost my balance from how heavy it was, got my leg caught in the legs of the stool, and fell flat on my face. The room was also full of people. It was pretty terrible.

I'm always embarrassed but it usually passes pretty soon.

1: Last October my family and me went to a holiday island because my Auntie was getting married. Well, they basically had a party of some sort every night and the night after the wedding, everyone had to come inside because it started raining. And I bumped into the table because everyone was trying to invade my personal space and I knocked a packet of biscuits off onto the floor. Petty? Yeah, except my eldest brother who I hold in the highest regard was watching and someone had to come and clean it up. It doesn't take a lot to send me blushing these days

2: Same holiday island and I was talking to my cousin whom I hadn't seen in about five years. See, I don't talk to people very much besides my family so my social skills are pretty lame. Basically, I was talking a mile a minute, asking stupid questions about spliced animals and every time I remarked about something, it came out like I was a total b-word. She was just staring at me like I was insane. xD And at the day of the wedding, I noticed that my uncle's girlfriend was wearing the same dress as the last wedding she went to (my other uncle's wedding) and she said "I don't think anyone has noticed" and i said "I did". I DID?!!! I sounded like the most judgmental horrible little brat-faced snobby little twat.

3. I went on a tandem ride on a bike with my uncle and said girlfriend. We rode to the lighthouse (he made me push the super heavy bike uphill) and since we were absolutely pooped, we sat down on a park-bench and started unwrapping our packed meals. They shared an apple (awwww!) and I had a poppy-seed ham roll in a plastic bag. See, I was trying to unwrap this bag for like a whole minute as quietly as I could, but obviously they noticed. They were staring at me as I was fumbling like a retard trying to unwrap my lunch. For someone to draws all the time my hands are not very precise.

4. Also on the day of the wedding, I had a TEENY bit of champagne mixed into my lemonade and I got SO hyper. I went on the balcony (it was inside a nice old house) and stood next to the speaker and started dancing like a loony. And then two hot guys down below (Tristan and Jack) and all the snobs were mingling and every few minutes I yelled something like "Perv" and "lech" but I was talking about ME perving on them, not the other way around. And someone emptied some empty bottles into a bin and I yelled "JESUSSS!!!!" heaps loud. Since I was next to the speaker, I didn't realize that they could hear me really well, so yeah...

And I'm not even going to mention the time I was learning to ride the bike... (never did, btw)

Well there was this one time at my school actually. I used to be a little careless then and had the habit of checking my exam time-table only once or twice, mostly because I used to just remember the time-tables easily.
So during one of the term-end exams, I had accidentally prepared for Maths paper when in fact it was History paper the next day.
And while I don't talk a lot at school, I was feeling quite confident about being prepared for the exam. So I went and asked some of my classmates how their studies for the Maths paper had gone (was trying to socialize a little lol). The looks they gave me were epic, and then they told me that it was History paper. I was terribly embarrassed and shocked.

Plus I had a bit of a reputation amongst my teachers for being studious and sincere. So when the news reached to them that I had accidentally studied for the wrong paper they were very angry/disappointed and that made it even more embarrassing.

I have developed a habit of checking my exam time-tables all the time after that incidence lol.
