- “I ran cross country in high school. I would lead stretches, meaning that both the boys’ and girls’ teams were circled around me. A buddy came up and de-pantsed me and grabbed too many layers. At least the girls’ team got the rear end and the guys got the front. I don’t think I’ve ever been truly embarrassed since.”
- “My freshman year of college (on my 19th birthday) there was a fire in my dorm. I was in the shower when the alarm went off. Had to jump out, and right then, a male RA runs in yelling that we need to evacuate immediately. I grabbed the closest towel I could find and barely covered myself up in time for him to look over. I then had to stand outside in nothing but a towel for over two hours while the fire was put out and the building was cleared. The fire was caused by some idiot microwaving tin foil. I couldn’t call anyone to come get me because it was the first week of school and I hadn’t made any friends who had a car yet. It was…mildly frustrating.”
- “When I was like five, I shouted at my sister, ‘YOU’RE AN IDIOT I-D-O-T.’ 21 years later, I’ve yet to live it down.”
- “I walked into a pole, hard, with all my school nearby (it was the end of school). I was by myself and felt awkward already and felt the need to say, ‘Sorry’ to the pole, and then I realized and then proceeded to say, ‘Wait, you’re a pole.’ Just kept my head down and walked swiftly on after that.”
- “I thought I was the only one at work one early morning. There was zero chance any other worker would be there for hours. I was listening to loud music on my headphones. I had to fart…and did it…a loud, vibrating, juicy one. Turned around in my chair to see the overnight cleaning lady standing right behind me. She looked quite ill.”
- “When I was still young at around 13, I went to a bathroom in school, and the stall was locked. A normal person would say someone is in there. But not me; my first thought was, ‘How do you lock a bathroom stall behind you?’ That’s not possible. So I crawled under the stall, and boom, there was someone in there. A piece of me still gets cringe when I think about it.”
