There’s not a single one of us out there who hasn’t embarrassed themselves in one way or another. Some may have been in a couple of embarrassing situations in their lifetime, whilst others can write a whole encyclopedia about their embarrassing moments.
Here are the top 10 embarrassing moments that many of us may have heard about, seen or experienced:
10. (For the girls): You’re wearing your brand new stilettos and are feeling so on top of things, when at that very moment your heels gets stuck in a tiny hole in the ground.
9. (For the guys): Someone pulls your pants down only to reveal your bright pink boxers which your mum gave you on your 18th birthday (or none at all).
8. You’re on the bus, and after a long day at uni you’re tired, so you fall asleep in your seat. All of a sudden the bus driver hits the brakes and as a result you lose your balance and slide out of your seat and hit the bus floor. Ouch!
7. You’re in the airport and you’re late. You’ve just checked in and are now running towards the gate with one too many handbags. One of them accidentally falls out of your hand and onto the floor…you trip over it and fall with the rest of the bags toppling over you. Great way to start a holiday, don’t you think?!
6. You’re still in the airport, but this time you’ve come back from your holiday. You’re on your way out and don’t notice the ‘no exit’ sign on the automatic door. You see it open so you make your way out from there, when all of a sudden it closes on the luggage trolley and all your bags fall off the trolley; an even better way to end a vacation :o)
5. You’re dancing around your room to a tune on the radio in your underwear, and you turn around only to find that you’ve had a very amused audience all along :o)
4. You need to go to the bathroom real bad but you have to be in class in less than 5 minutes. So you’re torn between holding it for another couple of hours, and being a couple of minutes late and made to wear the late-hat from your teacher Ms. 50-yr-old-horrible-spinster-with-12-cats.
You decide to take a chance and go to the bathroom to avoid the even more embarrassing situation of peeing in your pants during class. So you dash to the bathroom, do your business, and quickly run out to get to class.
Suddenly you notice people all around you laughing and pointing. You wonder what it is that they’re laughing about for a brief moment but keep running to catch the class. You enter and everyone starts laughing, except for Ms. 50-yr-old-horrible-spinster-with-12-cats who has a disapproving look on her face and says “You know part of potty training is to keep the toilet paper OUT of your pants. I guess you missed that bit.”, then adds, “Sit down kid; and here’s the hat, you’re a minute late”.
3. You’re at this exhibition and you bump into an old acquaintance:
Acquaintance: “Oh my God! [Your name], is that you?! (Screams) How are you!!!?”
You: “Hi! I’m alright, how have you been?! It’s been ages!”
You guys start talking and catching up, and you seem to remember pretty much everything about her… EXCEPT for the name.
Acquaintance: “I know hasn’t it?! What’s new with you?!”
You: “Oh same ol’ same ol’. What about you? How’s little Mike (her brother)? And Bill (her dad)? I saw him in the paper the other day!”
And it goes on for a good 30 minutes and you still can’t remember! And then it clicks! Yes! You remember (or so you think)… her name’s Katie! You are so thrilled with remembering it that you decide to use her name during conversation in an attempt to prove that you know her name just like she knows yours:
You: “Well Katie, it’s been great seeing you! Keep in touch ok?!”
Katie (with odd look on her face): “Um…ok…here’s my card”
You take the card and look at it, then immediately go red. You: “Thank you…Stacey…maybe we can meet up for coffee soon”
You make a mental note to start keeping a list of people’s names with the pictures in your bag… just in case :o)
2. Your friend’s friend, Kate, is coming for a visit. Your friend keeps talking about her and you are super excited to meeting her because she sounds like an interesting character. When Kate finally arrives, the following takes place:
You: “Hi Kate, I’m N! How was your flight?!”
Kate: “Hi N. Flight was good for a change”
You: “Great to hear that! Oh, it’s so good to finally meet you!”
Kate (with odd look on her face): “Um…we have met before…6 months ago”
You (feeling very stupid and embarrassed): *laughs it off, and wishes for something to happen to get her out of this awkward situation!
And you thought forgetting a name was bad, eh?!
And last but not least…
1. You and you’re friend are talking about a certain topic and Sara’s name pops up during conversation. You start saying all these things about Sara. Then you turn around to see Sara sitting nearby and have heard everything. She does not look pleased. You wish the earth would just open up under you and swallow you alive.
How many have YOU come across?!
