Embarrassing Moments...

This is a thread where you can post some of your embarrassing moments. Nothing too serious or too personal, just funny little thing that you have done or have happened to you. These are some of mine:

Once I was in the library and I saw a girl who, from the back, looked just like my friend. I ran over and grabbed her shoulders, and she slowly turns around to stare at me... Long story short, it's not my friend. So I'm walking through the library and this girl I have never met is just staring at me. 

One morning I was listening to Hamilton on my school Chromebook. It's nothing big, I often do that.  So, I closed the laptop but forgot to close the music window. Well, I opened up my Chromebook in the middle of class, and Helpless started blasting at full volume. I quickly turned it off and apologized to the teacher, who said it was fine, but the kids had these expressions of what-the-heck-is-happening on their faces, and all the Hamilton fans had begun to sing along... I just wanted to disappear.

Share your stories on this thread!

#1- 5th grade year, my friend Emma and I were sort of moved up a grade in English/Lit- we were moving faster than the rest of the class so we had different work to do. One of our projects was to find a recipe that contained corn (because we had this worksheet of corn-related projects that we had to do?? Welcome to IL) and bake it for the class. The day comes, we're mixing the stuff together, and... I forget to screw the mixing bowl in out of nerves and cookie batter goes EVERYWHERE. I still cringe thinking about it.

#2- I once accidentally wore a shirt with a pocket backwards to church, so I had to try to discreetly turn it around in the middle of the homily.

#3- I've accidentally given my friend 2 black eyes (on separate occasions). Yikes...

#4- Had my friends over for a sleepover, tripped going up the stairs 4 TIMES.

#5- I was riding bikes with my friend Oliver and we were racing around a cul de sac, unfortunately for me I live in the country which is nothing but straight roads so I had no practice riding in a circle, and I was going so fast that I totally careened off the road and fell off. We were riding bikes another time and my shoelace got stuck in the bike chain, and I almost fell off but caught myself.

Forgot one! #6- I was 3-4 years old and my mom took me to see Horton Hears a Who in the theater. At the part when the guy blows the dandelion where all the little people live (haven't seen the movie since then so my memory of the movie is fuzzy?), I had a total meltdown, crying and everything. My mom made me stay and deal with it, she wouldn't take me out because she paid for the tickets and was too stubborn to leave. XD

I was on vault at gymnastics practice and I hit the springboard and shot forward way too fast, went flying over the table, and hit the ground on all fours. My coach asked if I was ok from across the gym and I yelled back, "I'm fine, just stupid!" way louder than I intended.

In one of the first biology classes of freshman year (so I knew almost no one) I was walking back to my seat when I slipped on a charger. My feet flew out from under me and I actually went crashing to the ground in front of the entire class! Everyone started laughing, even the teacher! I had to laugh too, because it was pretty funny.

Once in art class I was working on my project and my friend, who had already finished, was making a sword. He walked up beside me and I didn't notice, so he poked me with his wooden sword. I screamed really loudly and fell off my stool.

One time, in fifth grade, my friend Vincent tied my shoelaces to his cello case without me noticing. It was before school, and all the fifth graders had to wait in the cafeteria for school to start because it was raining. I still didn't notice by the time we were going upstairs to start school and I fell on my face with the entire fifth grade watching.

 

I used to sit next to my friend Tillie in French class. We both love Hamilton, and we'd sing it a lot when there was class work and we were allowed to talk. One day we were singing "Take a Break" and we were getting really involved, because everyone kind of knew me and Tillie were Hamilton geeks and they didn't usually pay attention when we sang randomly. We were belting the Alexander/Angelica part, "You'll only be a moment awayyyyy!" and then we realized the entire class was dead silent and staring at us.

 

Not really a story but last year when we had headset mics for our school musical, my friends and I kept accidentally talking when our mics were still on, and our random conversations were projected to everyone in the auditorium. (Thankfully in dress rehearsals, not the actual show.)
