Most embarrassing moments as a child & adult

CROJAM95

So I went to a seminar/ industry get together yesterday in NYC…. They had a happy hour, one of the speakers was a bit nervous … mingling he said he had a bunch of new info to retain himself in the weeks leading up that he hopes he’s able to convey and even teach some of it at the podium later in the afternoon… so I saw him having a few drinks, he follows his female colleague up prob 4-5 steps to the stage/podium… he , my guess being a bit tipsy from drinking/ being nervous to begin with clips her high heel on her way up causing her to stumble and him no bullshit directly on top of her back…. He’s not a small dude and she was prob 5-3” 1151bs at most….she needed some assistance, think she was gonna be ok but man the shade of red his face turned…. I felt this cringe come over me as did everyone there…. He’s been in the industry 20 plus years and real good guy, but the. Child like snickering from other adults and the gossip after was so disturbing to me, he didn’t even give his presentation and the whole thing kind of dissolved. Into an extended cocktail hour with no more business discussed… I was mortified for him…  

So since we’ve all prob had a moment or ten maybe, was thinking about some of my most embarrassing moments … don’t be shy folks 😝

When I was 12, a girl in my class asked me & a handful of other classmates to go to her parents upstate NY cabin over a long weekend…. Her parents were over the top eccentric people…. Kind of trying to be her friend more than parents …… so they were interacting with us by a campfire and telling ghost stories , trying to be all hip and cool…. Her dad tells me to go help him get something inside to grill, then tells me inside we are gonna kill the lights in the cabin so only the fire is left outside … and start flanking them in the woods by the fire to scare the shit out of them… so it’s dark, and I can’t see but I’m like ok I’ll go along with Cool Dad here…. It’s a wide property and the neighbor property is adjacent , which has cows unbenounced to me …. So I go wider to make noise and see their reaction…. They were legit    scared, until I gave up the prank by slipping into a runoff of cow shit and literally did a fuckin face plant in it….. screeching once I realized what I tripped into, Shit happens was the running joke rest of time there … story brought up for years 😟

As an adult 

At a wedding when I was 24, one of the groomsmen … I got roped into helping set up the bridal party room, bringing in food tray apps and deserts for the bridal party… this is before even church, brides aunt who is already sloshed out her mind early am…. It’s a Sunday wedding too , so this happens….. she grabs penne a la vodka tray and t’she pivots  handing it to me, we didn’t even discuss it miss mimosa here… I’m like 6ft away, she pivots her hips to like hand it to me, with  force…..the movement caused the tin top to come off, this hot ass tray is now pummeling towards me and my suit yep she landed the whole fuckin hot mess all over my white shirt, and pants and jacket , again it’s a Sunday wedding , I’m 2 hours plus away from home, nothing is open to swap the suit… so I wore someone’s old Nike shirt ( literally in a gym bag, in someone’s trunk) with my slacks that you could see were stained the whole fuckin night… she didn’t apologize, she was out cold during cocktail hour and is that prototypical drunk relative who fucks things up for everyone else… I was so pissed, people asking me all night wtf happened… lucky I didn’t get a burn , but being in a wedding  party is a long day regardless… this made it insufferable ….July wedding too 🤮 pants were crusty and I felt like wtf am I doing here… it sucked

I once got on a wrong flight from California to New York because I misread the time on my ticket. This was 2007 so they delayed the flight to check my name wasn't on any kind of list and when they found it wasn't, they let me stay on the flight.

I puked up bright pink Frankenberry cereal in the middle of my second grade classroom.
I was once tied naked to a statue in front of 110 sorority girls while in college.
Not too many as an adult, thankfully, but I did pass out at a friend's 40th birthday party before it even got started. I still hear about that one. I started way too early.

Didn't happen to me but I witnessed a really bad moment for a guy when I was at Ball State around 1989 or so.

I was cutting through a building on my way back to my dorm. It was dark...probably 9 or 10pm. I went out the door there was a huge crowd of people. Some guy was in front of me and said "hold on a second...there is going to be something really funny happen here". I wait a few seconds and this naked guy comes running around the side of the building into the courtyard next to the dorm....a bunch of people shined flashlights on him and everyone was cheering, etc.

Turns out it was a frat thing. Poor guy wanted to be in the frat and one of the hazing rituals was to streak around the building. Of course he had no idea there would be a crowd there waiting on him. Frat and sorority together. 

Funny for a few seconds then sad because the kid had no chance of getting in that frat. I've hated frat guys ever since.

I'm generally a colossal fuckup but for some reason can't think of anything at the moment. haha

I remember in first grade I had to take a shit really bad and asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. She said no. Few moments later i crapped my pants. I remember my mom coming into school with a fresh pair of underwear (and maybe pants). At the time it was embarrassing, but I don't think the other kids said anything or made fun of me so that was good.

In high school I was at a friends house and we were outside playing and I belched really loud and one of the neighbors said "Who's the hunk?" That was more funny than embarrassing though

As an adult? Can't think of any at the moment.

I’d say from the age of 15 to 25 are years I’m embarrassed by too many moments I’d like to forget

My being tied naked to a statue may or may not have been fraternity related. They covered my junk in menthol shaving cream and then passed out bottles of cheap champagne for the sorority girls to spray it off. One of my fondest memories.

I only like being tied at home by my wife and then she leaves me there while she runs to the store 🥵

That reminds me of the old joke about a wife telling her husband to tie her up and do whatever he wants to. So he tied her up and went fishing.

Oh the Frat days 😝 I can name a few, pledged 82 days and nothing too too terrible, one night we had to get down to our unmentionables  on a brothers 2nd floor outside deck in the middle of a snow storm, on our asses with knees pointing out, one in front of the other… like a rowing team. We had to perfectly sing in unison the theme to Gilligans  island while being doused with buckets of water….it lasted 5 minutes, felt like an hour as it was so cold…. The school I went to didn’t recognize frats because of rushing 1st semester freshmen due to academic reasons. Todd Phillips the director of the Hangover Movies and one good Joker film made a documentary the year prior to my arrival that never was aired on HBO but it’s out there… too many lawsuits due to hazing infractions and people being portrayed in a certain way… we would watch it and laugh as many of our fraternity brothers were in it… obviously hamming it up a bit for the cameras 🤣

Another one I can share , 2 brothers would play chess vs each other… they lived on opposite sides of town… us as a pledge class had to jog to one’s apartment…get their move on a pc of paper, run it about 2 miles to the others place…. They would make their move and we had to go back… lasted hours, never finished as many of us tapped out ….. being young & dumb

My experience was not one for the pledges. It was a tradition for brothers that occured when you put a gold necklace with the fraternity letters on your girlfriend. I was lucky, my fraternity had a no hazing policy. Cannot say the same for the next three houses down from us. We would hear the brothers screaming at the pledges and having them do push ups in the middle of the night. I went to school in upstate NY, where it was freezing most of the time. One house made the pledges walk on their knees for a full week when not going to classes. Brutal and I never understood why physical pain was part of the process. My pledging experience mostly involved drinking, visiting houses on other campuses, streaking across campus, and the brothers always did it with us. We were famous for running nude across campus. It was all great fun and I never understood hazing. One fraternity got kicked off campus for throwing battery acid on their pledges. WTF?

Our hazing was child’s play compared to what I knew of other frats…. Just the whole tedious pay your dues etc etc…. No Paris Island Marine shit

Maybe I'm missing something but I never had a desire to go through that stuff to be accepted into a frat.

I never thought I’d do it, went to freshman orientation in August… me & my roommate hit it off really well, he had an in with the frat…. They were on our floor , a few shots later and I agreed to rush

i never looked at it as me being better or if you weren’t in one you weren’t on the level… It just kinda happened for me…. It was fun while it lasted, there were some fun bonding with my pledges…. Problem solving stuff, again if there were any physical/sexual shit id bow out…. Depends on the frat

Same, I went to rush as a sophomore with my roommate, never planning on pledging. Our school was about 30% greek so it wasn't the only scene on campus. Met a group that I liked and we both pledged. I was lucky, it was a non-hazing fraternity, and we wore that like a badge of honor. Let's just say my social life on campus changed dramatically once I joined. And mostly for the better although it did not help my grades. We did some crazy fun stuff and had the best parties. It was the 80s. To this day I have a group text with 60+ brothers. We may not see each other that often, but we are still in touch. I find that to be amazing. I could call any of them at anytime anywhere across the country. We have had a few get togethers, reunions on campus, meet ups at ball games, and they are always awesome. Bad news is that we have also had three funerals. We are getting to that point in our lives.

AI generated:
A fraternity is a social organization of people who share common goals and interests. Fraternities are also known as Greek organizations because many early fraternities used Greek letters as identifiers.

Hazing is a form of abuse that involves humiliating, degrading, or endangering someone as a condition of joining or participating in a group. 
Commonly includes physical mistreatment or abuse.

love it.  I remember as a young adult at a friend's house where we used to hang out all the time.  The new thing was dark beer, and I had 3 Michelob dark beers and I felt sick, I stepped away from the table, walked out the front door, got in my car, rode around the block and puked my guts up.  I guess it's really not embarrassing since no one knew as I returned to the party as if nothing happened.  Dark beer is gross.

As a child, it was probably misspelling the word mayor in the 3rd grade spelling bee. The teacher moderating the competition had a very heavy southern accent and didn't enunciate well (especially if she was to run a spelling bee), so I heard her say mare, which I spelled correctly. In hindsight I should have asked for a definition so she would've said something like an elected leader of a city or town instead of female horse. I felt like such an idiot.

I feel like everyone does stupid stuff under the influence and I'm not counting those times. So as an adult, it has to be whenever I have to do any type of public speaking. I'm good in one-on-one settings or small groups, but get very uncomfortable in front of large crowds. I've never been one to seek out being the center of attention, so all the people looking/staring causes my nerves to take over. Inevitably I get tongue tied or say something wrong and feel like people judge me badly for it.

So basically, make me feel stupid and I'll be embarrassed about it when in reality nobody probably even pays attention to it.

As a child, it was probably misspelling the word mayor in the 3rd grade spelling bee. The teacher moderating the competition had a very heavy southern accent and didn't enunciate well (especially if she was to run a spelling bee), so I heard her say mare, which I spelled correctly.

You just brought back a childhood memory for me, I was probably in 3rd or 4th grade as well, spelling bee, had to spell the name of states.  I lived in New Jersey and I spelled New Jersey wrong.  I believe I spelled it New Jersy.  Like you said, nobody pays attention but it's funny what we as individuals remember many, many years later.  I remember being mortified.

I have had many profoundly embarrassing moments. I feel like I've had more than most, but that could be biased? Maybe not, honestly.

I suppose my first most embarrassing moment was a doozie. 

I was a drama kid in high school, so I was in Fiddler on the Roof when I was about 16. At one point during the wedding dance I and 3 others had to lift the bride on a chair and spin her around in the air. When I bent over to pick up the chair, my old-ass, moth-eaten costume decided to just completely give up. It exploded at the seams in everywhere possible, literally.  It wasn fucked up. It pretty much disintegrated ( maybe i should have sued the costume company). 

We lifted the chair with a girl on top.of it, and my dress had exploded. It fell off of my entire top half, and i wasn't even wearing a bra because it had a built-in bodice, and for those of you who din't me, i have enormous tits, LOL. If I did anything other than continued the fucking wedding dance I would have dropped the girl up in the chair. I had to fucking keep up the dance until it was over, in front of 700 people, with my breasts exposed, during a fiddler on the roof wedding. 

I heard people start to laugh and clap and shit. Once I finally got off stage I burst into tears obviously. It was pretty awful.

I actually went to a very kind high school in general, so after that happened, of course there was talk, but the nickname that came out of it for me was "zip". Simply because everyone figured my zipper on my dress exploded, lol. Very mild and kind! I didn't get sexually harassed or anything, so that's cool I guess.

I've had other experiences that were about at that level embarrassment-wise, but that is the one that was in front of the most people, by far.

On Halloween day when I was in kindergarten, all us kids wore costumes to school.  Half way through each day, our teaching had us all lie down for ten minute for us to take a nap (also known as teacher needing a break, lol).  So when it came to nap time, the teacher told us to take off our costumes ad lie down for ten minutes.  What she meant of course, was to remove things like crowns or capes or other accoutrements.  I thought she meant everything.  Being an obedient little kid, I took off my one piece skeleton costume that my mother had made and suddenly realized I was the only kid in the class standing there with nothing on but my underpants.  OK, I'll admit it.  I'm pretty sure I cried.
