Let's get to know each other better!
And have some laughs

What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

Not the most embarrassing ever as I’m not ready to get that intimate here. But for high school standards, very embarrassing.

freshman year high school it I was up to kick in gym kickball. I was wearing tear away pants and a cuff bracelet. Obviously the cuff bracelet caught the snaps as I ran and I completely pantsed myself in front of the multi grade class. I was wearing zebra print underwear. Literally everyone watched. I remember sophomore girl behind me saying “wow that’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen”. I of course wanted to die and had to stick out the rest of the class and school day.

@agea zebra undies too! No!

This is probably not embarrassing to anyone else but I went to camp as a kid and when I was 15 I started training to be a counselor. We did songs all the time where they would call people up and it was usually the actual counselors that got called up. Well they called out a name that sounds like my name but wasn't my name but I thought they called me so I got all excited and ran up there and was singing and dancing along and then the next name they called out the person they really meant to call who was a counselor with the name that sounded like my name and I realized that she never actually called my name.

@agea similar, I accidentally pantsed a girl during the powderpuff football game 😬 she was wearing a bright green thong and it was caught on video!

The most embarrassing thing I can remember is gross, lol. In like fourth grade I threw up a little but I was so shy I was afraid to ask to go to the bathroom so I wrote on the chalkboard behind the teacher asking if I could go.

@whatabout2ndbreakfast I am sooo thankful I went to high school before cell phones were a thing. None of my humiliation got caught on video or camera. I think being a teenager in the social media age is so much harder than without it. Things traveled by mouth back then with hardly any proof. Now it’s all plastered all over the internet for people to watch over and over again.

So while I was preggers with DD I was subbing in a basic French elementary class one day. I speak mediocre French but haven't practiced with others for years, and the teacher left ALL the instructions in English. She asked me to play the game Dix with the students. To put this in context, I also had a friend Dixon who we would call Dix. So quite cheerfully I said, "Ok, now we're going to play the game "Dix"!" An entire class of 11 to 13 year olds stared at me, confused. I wrote the name on the board and said, "Your teacher said you know this game?" "Oh, you mean "DEES"!" A student replied, and everyone quietly chuckled. That's right, I had just told all those grade 6 and 7s that we were going to play a game of "dicks".

One that comes to mind is when I was teaching a summer program and there was a student exchange student from Scandinavia. We were talking about his home and he was telling us how beautiful it was - I naively googled "beautiful Scandinavia" thinking landscapes would come up (btw this is in front of a class of about 15 students ages 16-17) and of course a bunch of scantily clad, well endowed, women showed up..it was awful!

@emeraldcity1214 I agree. My sister is 13 years younger and watching her go through high school with the social media usage was hard. The school shut down a few IG accounts that were basically burn books. It’s hard to interpret all the social cues via text and stuff too. My incident made it on the senior dvd, you see a flash of neon green and then it cuts away.

This is a tough one. I have definitely put my
foot in my mouth many times...but there is one embarrassing moment that stands out from childhood...

The scene is gym class, first grade, and we’re playing nuke-em (which is like
volleyball but you catch). As we are rotating positions I pee myself. The teacher and everyone else obviously notices. So the teacher comes over to me and asks if I had an accident. I deny. There is a trail of pee going down my leg and across the floor from where I am standing to where I was standing, but I still deny it. Lots of laughter from the class

It was a small town and classmates still remembered it in high school, but still not that bad of an embarrassment in the long run

I don't think I've ever told a soul this one! I was at a sleep away church camp at a university wheb I was 13 or 14. we were doing group games in a field some ways away from the dorms we were sleeping in and thus the bathrooms. I kind of had to pee but I didn't have a chance to ask one of the counselors to go to the bathroom with me and I didn't have to go that bad so I figured I would hold it. We ended up playing some game that ended up being like red rover but we were skipping. Somebody accidentally slammed into me and I just peed myself from the force. I don't think anybody noticed and I luckily had a sweatshirt I could tie around my waist but oof....

This might not be the most embarrassing ever but certainly recently. I was running late for a work call since I was at the dentist so I had to get on Zoom in my car. I was driving home which was only 5 minutes and someone blew a stop sign while I was making a turn from the side that doesn't have a stop and has the right away. I slammed on my breaks and laid on the horn and started screaming at the person really loud and aggressively. Suddenly someone asked if I was okay. Apparently I'm not automatically muted when I sign into Zoom on my phone like I am on my laptop. Everyone thought it was funny and have never heard me get so mad but I was mortified. Thankfully it was mostly my internal team but we did have two visitors on the call.

Not my most embarrassing but first that comes to mind.

We were hosting a party roughly 5 years back, I was quite drunk (pre kids!

) and we have a sliding patio door to our back deck. Well I ran full speed with zero hesitation right smack into the glass door thinking it was wide open! In front of everyone and bailed so hard

Silver lining is my windows were clearly cleaned quite well HA!
