Share an embarrassing story

Post by Jackolantern »

This could be fun. We all have embarrassing stories from when we were younger (or maybe not even that long ago).

Of course since I am asking, I will have to go first.

This was something I couldn't think about for years without cringing. I was kind of a quiet kid in class, and didn't really like to speak in front of my fellow students. But I was a little comedian with my friends in private, and looked-up to the class clowns who made everyone laugh during class. One day, in math class, I don't remember why this came up, but the teacher asked us to finish a sentence "This school should be...". And oh, I thought I had comedy gold. I thought this was exactly what the popular class clown kids would say, but I thought of it first and was going to beat them to the punch. So I finished the sentence, as loud as I could with "...should be burned down!"

I was expecting a big laugh, and maybe for the teacher to be mad, but that would have been even better. Instead...silence. Everyone was just staring at me, and I realized I had made a huge miscalculation. Since I was one of the quiet kids who dressed differently (kind of a semi-goth type look, but much nerdier), they were all genuinely worried. I am sure my face turned bright red and I shrank as small as I could be. The teacher finally broke the silence with something like "What? That is awful!"

That afternoon I had to go home and played video games for hours to keep it from repeating in my head. Luckily, it wasn't one of those permanently-etched moments for anyone else, and everyone seemed to forget it. But I don't think I could ever forget it lol.

Anyone else?

Haha now a days things would be a lot different.

I have one story off the top of my head, it's not that bad but kind of funny. Here it goes:

I was probably like 6 years old and my parents signed me up for T-Ball. Our first game comes around and it is my first time up at bat. Now bare in mind that I was a real little guy probably like 40 lbs soaking wet with a mullet(good ol' 80's huh?). So anyways, I hit the ball and just book it towards 1st base and my helmet is falling down over my eyes which was the least of my worries, I just didn't want to get out. I hear my dad in the background yelling "Keep going Kyle, keep going" so I did just that. I kept on running and ended up in the out field just running and running until I finally realized that I just went to far so I made a U-Turn back to first and some how ended up getting a triple out of it.

Hahaha.

I have a few off the top of my head, first one is similar to Jack's. I thought my joke would be hilarious but not so much...

- 8th grade. Girl in class was wearing blue lipstick and I blurted out that she looks like she just blew a Smurf, I got a few laughs, but the teacher kicked me out of class and I got detention.

- In 7th grade baseball my coach pulled me aside (I was at bat) and told me to "take it"... I thought this meant swing at it no matter what, so I did, popped it up and we lost the game on my out. I didn't know that since I had 3 balls all I needed was a 4th to walk on to base and continue the 9th inning. It was even a high ball, I would have been walked if I laid off it like told.

- Freshmen year of college, was in a scripting and storyboarding class. We had to pitch ideas for commercials and mine was an exercise ad. Well, I didn't realize it at the time, but I said "hot guys" exercising instead of women which is what I had in mind, and some of my classmates still thought I might be gay several semesters later. Doh!

Oh man I got one.

So when I lived in Mobile, Al there was this Talk Radio station I listened to. It was a small station so many of the commercials were done by the local Talk Radio guys or their family. Well there was this woman on there that OMG was the worst actor in all of history. She had less talent that a porn star. She played the wife of one of the Talk guys in a couple skits so I assumed she was just that.

Well so one day I am at a party and I start talking to this girl and I find out she works at the station as a salesgirl selling ads. Well I had been drinking and so I go on this rant about how bad of an actor the girl on the commercials is. I mean I really went on a rant. "Worse acting than a porn star","Needs to find a new day job", "a robot has more character", ect..

Well after my rant the girl looks at me and says " You don't recognize my voice do you?". Yep it was her. Insert foot in mouth and crawl away like a jackass. Only option I had :)

I remember in English class we had an assignment to interview another student and present it to the class. I'm the mostly quiet type, but I think big. So I thought "What could be better than an interview for a game show?" Well when the time came, I was to interview one of the girls that I sort of liked. I got up in front of the class with everyone staring at me and started to begin. Very soon after that I just couldn't take it and probably turned red, but I ran as fast as I could back to my seat and kept my head down for the rest of class.

Good stories so far, let's see if i don't ruin the streak.

Wow this is a tough one, I'm not the extrovert type of guy so I have a lot of these, but maybe the most embarrassing was in highschool in french class, I was sitting next to a crush of mine since 4th grade (I've been in the same class as her for almost 12 years) and the teacher said that each one of us should do a small essay (I believe thats what you call) about something we would like to write with our few skills on french. So I went for it and I wrote something about the things I loved and liked. The teacher picked me... I went to the front of the class (30 people) and I started talking, something like "J'adore pizza" (I love pizza) and stuff, and in the end... it just came out from my heart and I said out loud :"J'adore Catarina" (I love catarina) and the whole class stopped for a second, and then everyone started laughing and looking at her, and she was redder than a tomato for sure, and you can't imagine the courage it took so that I could just sit there for the rest of the class/year/high school, next to her. This was just an episode of me embarrassing myself in front of everyone for her, there was another time I read a poem in front of the same class for her and everyone went like "Awww" and they would congratulate me for the courage and stuff.. I guess I lost it all there... I'm pretty shy now.

To be fair, I would have no idea what he was talking about either, and would have thought "take it" meant to swing for what he threw lol.

I have done that so many times now that I instinctively assume everyone is everyone else until I know otherwise :lol:

I would think "Take it" means take one for the team. Sleep with the ugly umpire for a couple free calls in your favor. :P

Very true! Although that could have led to an even more embarrassing moment.
