At my office Christmas party last year, there was a Secret Santa exchange. One guy thought it would be funny to give his co - worker a box filled with coal as a joke. But the co - worker took it really personally and started crying, which made the whole atmosphere extremely awkward.
There was this time I went to a new restaurant. I was so excited about the food that I didn't realize my zipper was down the whole time I was ordering. When I finally noticed, the waiter was giving me a really strange look. It was so embarrassing.
Once, a boy was bathing and he accidentally slipped on the soap. He fell with a big splash and his towel that was hanging nearby also got soaked. He had to wrap the wet towel around himself and run to get a new one, feeling very embarrassed as his siblings were outside the bathroom and heard the whole commotion.
I was in a crowded elevator. A woman accidentally farted. It was silent but smelled awful. She tried to play it off by coughing loudly, but we all knew what had happened. People started fanning the air with their hands.
There was this time when I was in a public restroom at a shopping mall. The toilet paper roll was empty and I didn't realize until it was too late. I had to call out to the lady cleaning outside the bathroom to pass me some toilet paper. It was so mortifying, especially when I heard other people in the restroom giggling.
When I was going through puberty, my voice started changing. It would crack at the most inconvenient times. I was in the middle of a class presentation and my voice went from normal to a really high pitch all of a sudden. It was so funny in retrospect but at that moment I wanted to disappear.
A girl went to a party wearing what she thought was a fashionable outfit, but when she got there, she realized it was completely out of style compared to everyone else. She was really embarrassed but she just laughed it off and joined in the fun anyway.
One embarrassing story is when I tripped and fell flat on my face in the middle of the school hallway while everyone was rushing to class. My books went flying everywhere and I could feel all eyes on me. It was so mortifying.
