Rock and roll will never die
This was partially inspired by @Vanessa28 's thread about silly things we've done lately, but I decided that the time was ripe we all talk about the nastier, squirmier incidences of embarrassment in our past and present. These ones don't have to be like, really bad or anything by anyone's standards, but I'm pretty sure everyone has one or two of those embarrassing moments that still make you cringe when you remember them happening to you ages later.
(Btw before I launch into this, I realise that a) this thread may have been done before and b) there was an embarrassing sex stories thread before, but this one is more about the sillier, dumber stories than the adult rated ones hence it not being an MD discussion, though if you keep it clean and reasonable I'm sure it's fine)
Personally, although mostly it's just dumb stuff, I have a couple of things that when I think about them still embarrass me. I will set the scene for dramatic effect.
Once in year 7, so I was like 11, we were reading this book as a class ('The Wolves of Willoughby Chase' if I recall, it was boring) and as a class we were supposed to be separating the components of the story into beginning, build up, climax, end. So on the board the teacher had drawn columns with each of those as a header. Now, even though what is to follow isn't technically that bad, I remember every detail of what happened vividly: It was 12.25pm, ten minutes to go until lunch. I had spaced out ages ago because it was a boring lesson. I was sitting next to a girl called Sheena. I had a blue pencil case with a dog on it. Anyway, I looked at the board and forgot the word 'beginning'. Seriously, it was like I forgot basic English. So instead of just waiting a second for my brain to kick in and realise, I burst out with "Why does it say beg-inning". Like, pronounced with all the emphasis on 'beg' and none on the 'inning'. Everyone just gaped at me. The teacher was like "what" and I was like "do you mean to write 'begging'. Miss there's a spelling mistake." Everyone just continued to stare at me. The teacher didn't even know what to say. And then, after another ice age came and went and the second wave of dinosaurs became extinct, I realised.
This haunts me because I have never felt so ****ing stupid in my whole life.
Another embarrassing incident I have that haunts me is more recent, about three years ago. This one calls for a blunt retelling. Fancy ass west end night club, a bit too much to drink, slippery shoes, marble staircase. I fell and bumped down like five steps on my arse. It hurt like a *****. Like, really bad. Everyone turned to look at me so I had to pick myself up and tell people nope i'm fine, I'm fine... I really wasn't. I had never been less fine in my entire life. I had to force myself to walk normally. I had to get all the way home whilst trying not to cry from the pain. When I got myself to the hospital in the morning, I found out I had fractured my coccyx. So basically, in addition to the comic falling down the stairs routine, I then had to tell people I'd broken my tailbone, AKA my butt.
