Embarrassing Situations Thread V1.0 - Oh, the shame! - General

Not particularly embarrassing for me, but for the other guy. One time me and some buddies were chilling out in the IT room at our college. This wasn't a real IT lab, because pretty much every room in our new college building had computers in - it was a room where you could chill out during break, maybe play some flash games on the computers with your friends or get some work done and check your college e-mail. Really relaxed atmosphere. Anyway, we're pulled up at a desk when my friend spots this iPhone left next to one of the computers somebody was working at. Thinking to give it back to whoever lost it, he checks the internet browsing history to see if he can find the persons Facebook and find out their name - if it's somebody any of us recognize, we can find them and give it back easy, or spot them when they come back looking for it and be like "Hey, this is your phone." Top two last searched were "naked porn" and "average penis size". The whole room hears, everybody is laughing. When we eventually find the guys Facebook, some guy in the room is like, "Hey, I know of the guy, he's in the year below." Needless to say, activities are resumed. When said guy comes in, the room goes silent as a crypt. He was a pretty nondescript kid, doesn't stand out in a crowd. Except now everybody knew who he was. The phone is returned to its owner, among stifled laughter. When the kid leaves, the room erupts. Wherever he appeared henceforth, he was known as "Naked Porn Kid".

Those moments when you stutter like a motherfucker when you're dealing with customers at work. It happened to me at work so many times earlier today.

"enjoy your movie" "you too"

[QUOTE=jaykray;37148149]"enjoy your movie" "you too"[/QUOTE] my friend did that once, I nearly collapsed laughing

[QUOTE=Goodthief;37148731]my friend did that once, I nearly collapsed laughing[/QUOTE] I work in a cinema, I get it all the time. It's more embarrasing when someone is asking for the toilet and you end your sentence with "Have a good one" (best danish translation).

Not really that embarrassing but I just remembered it a few days ago. We made a trip to Sweden with the school (I was like 14 or 15) and throughout the week the teachers were progressively letting us go to sleep later. I think it was the last night so I was fucking tired (but a bunch of students were talking in the room). I fell asleep despite the noise but I woke up after a short time. They were laughing and I had no clue why. Some guy told me I had sat up in my bed in a half asleep state, lifted the sheet over my legs, said something in the line of "I check if I have them" and immediately gone back to sleep. At least I'm glad I didn't say or do something really awkward.

I was at a convention of sorts, and I wandered into some booth with computers setup with a web browser and nothing else in order to advertise an ISP, anyways I clicked in the web browser history to see what other people looked at before me, and clicked a link with a blatant xxx in the title without really cluing into anything. Anyways a huge porn image popped up for everyone around me to see, I laughed it off and closed the tab, but when I turned around I saw an old Indian dude giving me the dirtiest most disapproving look in the world... I just quickly left the area after that.

That was bad and you should feel very bad.

[QUOTE=Keelwar;37132898]I don't know. I feel bad about it now :c[/QUOTE] Did you hold people up in line? Please tell me you didn't.

I had lots of embarrasing situations in my life, thankfully, I can't remember most of them at the moment (otherwise that "oh god why" feeling returns and it sucks like no other thing in the world) The one I do remember right now is when I was playing in a school play in high school. It was a sort of competition, to see which class was the best at acting. I even volunteered to be in the play, saying to everyone "Yeah, I'm a good actor, this will be easy...". I was wrong. Fast forward to the day of the play, me and my classmates were still rehersing a bit, just going through our lines and stuff. I was feeling quite nervous about an hour before it all started, but I calmed myself by just saying to myself that it'll be like a walk in the park. It wasn't. I don't know why, but right before I went on stage I felt like I was going to melt because of how nervous I was. So the play starts, I start walking around, saying the stuff I was supposed to, everything was cool. Not long after, I forgot one of my lines, I got confused like shit and then it all went to hell. I was looking at the crowd, the teachers, the students, and I was thinking in my head: "Well, what the fuck now?"...I also noticed one of the teachers had a camera and was filming everything, which of course made the whole matter 10 times worse. Some girl in the scene behind me even tried to give me the script so I could read of off it and remember the lines I was supposed to say, but I was so nervous I couldn't even read. I took my hat off and tried to laugh the whole situation off with my poker face. Not long after, the scene I was playing in was over and I went off the stage, feeling like a dumbass. I didn't even talk to anyone after that, I just went straight home. :v:

This is a good one. Me and my family were on vacation in Indianapolis and me, my Dad, and my brother decided to go to "The Colt's Grill" for lunch (it's fairly new but really good, reasonably priced and had wonderful and even exotic burgers) We had to order for my Mom, who was at a work meeting, so Dad orders her some kind of Asian salad (she had Gastric-bypass surgery and cannot eat much anymore). A few minutes later, Dad was texting Mom and wanted to tell her what the salad was, but he couldn't remember the name. He leans over and asks "So what is it that I got your Mom, the, um, Bukkake Salad?" At this point I was shocked, but then I burst out laughing. He couldn't comprehend what was so funny. The worst part is I had to explain to him what it meant. Mom already knew though, and so she thought the text he sent was weirdly hilarious.

Not embarrassing to me: So just a few minutes ago I was getting some lunch at an In-N-Out restaurant, and so the lady taking my order at the drive through goes "Hello, how are you today?", so I reply "Uhh, good I gue-" "Thanks for asking I'm fine too! What can I get for you?" to which I start laughing a bit and order my food. Also it reminded me of another not embarrassing to me but someone else story because it was fairly close to a brewery and I took a tour on it once. I was with my father, mother, and my grandmother who flew in from Florida. Well after the tour they gave all the people 21+ a free shot of some fine ale they made. Well my mother said "Wow, these are some really cute glasses, I wish I could have one. Too bad they don't sell them here." My grandma, being sort of tipsy as they gave out some other shots during the tour, said "Just put it in your purse and take it, no one here would notice or care." My mother, after hearing my grandma say that for a while finally took it in her purse. The next morning I jest at her saying "Good example you're setting for your kid mother by stealing a glass." which made her feel guilty enough that she took me back and awkwardly explained the situation to the lady working at the front desk and gave the glass back. The lady at the desk laughed and just took the glass.

When I was a little kid I had massive anger issues. In 3rd grade there was this prick and he got me really pissed so I threw a chair at him while the teacher went to the bathroom. He dodged the chair, it slid into the hallway where the principal was walking around the school for some reason. He ran into the room and yelled "WHO THE HELL THREW THAT CHAIR AT ME?". Then everyone pointed at me and I had to go to anger management for a few months. Also I walked into my friends mom taking a piss when I was 8 because she didn't lock the door so I thought no one was in there. Couldn't be near her without feeling awkward for a month...

This happened a long time ago, but I figured it was quite awkward. When I got tested for AES in second grade, I had really terrible handwriting. For some reason, this made the AES tester think I was actually retarded and had Down Syndrome. So in the meeting with my parents and my two teachers, the woman basically stood up and said I was legitimately retarded. Of course this was not the case, so much confusion followed.

I could tell this story in a lot shorter of a post, but I feel like being a tiny bit verbose. It was 8th grade in my world history class. The teacher was giving his lecture about WWII. I was zoned out in my thoughts, but was still able to listen to him talking. I started to think about something really funny that I can't remember right now. All I know is that it was a funny face that I saw on a crappy-made billboard. I was able to hold back my laughter for awhile, but I soon began putting said funny face on certain people in my head. I also imagined the theme for Super Mario Bros 2 as the face was slowly zoomed in on. The images became more and more hilarious, but I managed to keep my cool. However, this series of images led to a thought that soon would be the bane of my dignity. I put the face on [b]Hitler giving a speech[/b]. This thought was the straw that broke the camels back. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't contain my laughter. What was forced out of my lungs was a loud, a reverberating: MRRKKRKRKPFTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH My heart sank as every single eye in the room was pointed at me, and as some people rolled them. They wouldn't stop fucking staring at me until what felt like 10 minutes had passed. The worst part is that this kind of thing happens EVERY SCHOOL DAY.

A couple of weeks in, I was pulled out of a class with three of the mentally challenged kids in my class and had to prove to the teachers' assistants that I could read an analog clock. For the remainder of the year, all the TAs singled me out for having taken that test. One of these people was morbidly obese. She could never walk more than twenty feet at a time because her knees broke from all the weight (presumably). Now, I would sit across a room from the TAs because none of them would mind their own business, but this particular one was both immobile and meddlesome. She would, every once in a while, take a break from actually taking care of the students whom she had actually been assigned to and yell across the room to verify that I did my homework, or I heard the teacher. Whenever she actually did get up, she would do something like help the kid beside me. This, effectively, meant she was simultaneously bending over, sitting on my desk, and sticking her ass in my face, all while giving some poor, uninformed advice to the kid she was 'helping'.

I just remembered this one. When I was about 12 I played runescape thinking it was a great game. I asked my mom if she would let me subscribe to it. I was using Internet Explorer and my computer was always being spammed with porn. So while she's filling in the credit card info, 3 ads for porn popup. One for "Adult Friend Finder" and 2 for gay porn sites. She looked at me and asked me if I was gay. I told her I wasn't, but she thought I was for months...

[QUOTE=Krinkels;37178528]Even if you're using Internet Explorer gay porn doesn't pop up for no reason.[/QUOTE] I probably had a virus. I didn't know shit about computers back then.

Whyt546's story reminded me of one situation. So I was in the kitchen fixing some food and my dad casually turns around (before I continue, let me say that English isn't our main language) and casually asks "milf means chubby right". And I'm trying to be as serious as possible, although everything inside me is laughing (every single fucking blood cell I think), tell him that "uhm, I never heard about this word. I doubt it. I'll check the dictionary though". We still laugh about it with my sister.

I passed them all though. On topic, waking up in boxer shorts and walking through the living room where your parents are with your penis slightly hanging out of the hole in the center.

My chemistry teacher once asked if I had a mental disability that made my handwriting bad. Every year there are two comments I hear; "XXXX, you are an excellent speaker" (I was once recognized for my ability "in the spoken word" by my spanish teacher.) The other being, "XXXX your handwriting is crap, if you don't write better you will begin to fail this class." My Chem teacher would write these little notes on the sides of my paper commenting on it. "XXXX it's 10 o'clock at night and I can't read this." My english teacher even once attested to some times taking headache medication.
