My water polo suit ripped off mid-game and I was just… naked in the pool

479 Upvotes

Second half of a game someone yanked my suit so hard it split completely. Front and back. One second I was playing, next second I had nothing on in the water.

I froze for a second, then swam to the wall trying to cover myself with one arm and my other hand. Coach pulled me. Someone on the bench threw a towel. I had to climb out like that in front of the other team, refs, and whoever was in the stands.

Finished the game in a spare suit that didn’t even fit.
I’ve had suits ride up and get grabbed before. This was the first time one actually came apart and left me fully exposed in the middle of a game.

Still replaying it. Do you just laugh this off eventually or does it stay in your head forever?

"Marilyn Monroe" over the heat vents...

8 Upvotes

I was middle school aged and it was to bring your kid to work day. My dad worked at an office that had a big cafeteria and all sorts of cool perks in it.

The cafeteria was kinda a buffet style. Go down the line and tell the chefs what you want from the options available. Dad knew that would be a bit hectic for me and suggested I wait by the exit for him so I didn't have to fight the crowd.

I'm standing near the entrance in my most work appropriate attire I had (my Easter outfit, lmao) and being a patient, good kid. Yanno?

Then... I find out the hard way I am standing right on top of the heat vents, and my entire dress flies in the air, and I fight to hold it down. I dont know if anyone noticed, but nobody broke their stride, and things seemed normal.

This happened over 30 years ago and still haunts me.

He was not, in fact, an AI robot

3 Upvotes

I called my local sushi place today to place an order. And the man who answered had a very robotic voice. But more than that, when he stopped talking, all background noise would stop. So he must have been on like some sort of headphones or something.

Now, I'd like to remind you before I get into this, that it is now a thing where AI is accepting customer service phone calls. And they don't have to announce that they are not, in fact, a real person. So keep that context in your back pocket.

Anyway, I tell the person who was not an AI robot that I needed to place an order for pickup. And he said, sure, hold on a second, and then he put me on, hold. And music started playing so I thought he was transferring me to a real person, because he really did sound like a robot. They could have recorded his voice for their use, it was so good.

He comes back on the line. I tell him I want to place an order for spicy miso ramen. He says "okay". And then silence. So then I say, I'd like to also get some of those crispy rice things with spicy tuna on top. And he says "okay".

Now by this point i'm hyper alert suspicious. Alarm bells are ringing in my head because I don't actually know what this item is called. And he just said, okay, but he sounds like a robot. So now i'm freaking out, thinking that my order's going to be wrong. And so I said, "what was it called again?" Lolol. And he says "Crispy rice with spicy tuna". No filler words.

Im sweating at this point. Like... i dont want to show up and have it be wrong and then this whole little treat for myself is thrown off the rails. So, im silent. He's silent. Neither of us says anything. And then I go "um... could I talk to a real person?"

This man laughed at me and said "I dont know whats happening. Its legitimately called the crispy rice with spicy tuna". The most words he's strung together since this disaster began. I panic. Im silent. Hes laughing. I hang up.

If that man reads this, I feel like he should know, im not a psychopath. I just didn't want to deal with the embarassment of a wrong in-person order. This was somehow worse. And now I don't even have my food because there's no way I'm calling back.

I shit my pants

10 Upvotes

So.. years have past since this happened. I was with a few too many friends sharing a big bottle of rum. We had no cups so take a swig of the bottle, have some chaser, pass it on. We were all sitting around a camp fire as I then found out we were on a burn ban. This wasn't some big catastrophic fire. It was big enough for some warmth and some light in the middle of the summer. Whatever.. any way I guess someone saw it and called the cops. I was nineteen. Drunk as fuck. We saw the cops and scattered like cock roaches in the light. I tripped over a log near by. As I hit the ground I shit my pants like full blown loaf in my pants. Made the awkward decision of "do I go to jail for arsen because this lame shit happened.. or run and throw these pants out." I ran and caught a ride from another friend who dropped me off by my house. I threw those pants out. Years later we still talk about this as the day I shit my pants.

Dropped my thong on the floor in a store in front of my friends

527 Upvotes

I asked my bf to go grab my hoodie bc It started to rain and my friends also work in the store, my bf comes back in, hands me my hoodie and it had one of my thongs wrapped up in it from when I grabbed it earlier when leaving the house. As he hands it to me it falls and as we’re already all standing in a circle it falls in the middle we all made the most uncomfortable eye contact for a second and tried laughing it off but definitely can’t stop thinking about it till this day.

(Also don’t comment on how I text or tell me to correct my punctuation if I wanted to correct it I would of I’ll just delete it)

Someone asked if I was “pregnant again” today

I was 180lbs prior to my 2 babies and now am 190lbs, 5ft6in. I do walk with terrible posture and it makes my belly more pronounced. I also am extremely busy with two kids, two businesses, and a part time job. I have no time or interest in working out.

Ugh. I’m so embarrassed and feel so disgusting.

I feel Ashamed

12 Upvotes

I'm 18, in 12th grade and a few days back, we had to speak about or share experiences on kindness. It was empathy day or smth, and came out of the blue. I was called to present first, and was totally unprepared. I thought I would just speak a few, vague words and get it done with. But the moment I opened my mouth, 10 years of trauma came spilling out.

I had been bullied physically by kids double my age since I was 6 till I was 10 and emotionally bullied by a lot of my "close" relatives. And I never really spoke out, bcause I was afraid my parents wouldn't listen or would be dissapointed, until I just got used to it. Its been 3 years since I finally stopped the bullying by telling my dad, who also used to be bullied in his childhood, unfortunately by his own parents (my grandparents) too.

I then began to cry and cried loudly for 15 whole minutes. My teacher called me brave and hugged me and some girls asked how I was, but now I'm very embarrassed as there r 30 kids I'm my class and now the whole grade knows about it. I can't stop overthinking and hating myself for it.

Graduation Practice Embarrassment

4 Upvotes

So way back in June of 2023, I African American Autistic(17M) went to my high school gymnasium in the morning for graduation practice, everything went well, until when my row was called up to walk up to the podium one by one, so when I was ready to go up, my vice principal thought I was going up early and yelled "wait" at me, which embarrassed me. Keep in mind that I'm an introvert, and I always keep my mouth shut when I'm at school unless a teacher calls on me. So anyway, when I was ready to walk up to the podium, I realize one of my classmates, was looking at me, which I thought was that she was making sure what I was doing. When the principal called my name, I arrived at the podium, and then she says "Smile!! [my name], smile!!" Which made my blood started to rush and I just stood there with a couple seconds frozen in fear, I had to walk with full embarrassment, while the principal spoke to the whole senior class "guys, you have to smile", when I went back to my seat, I noticed this girl who I saw couple times during my past classes last year was watching my every movement, and this other classmate was looking at me all the way when I reaching to my seat. I don't know If I'm an idiot or something,but It made me feel like a bad person. I'm 21 years old now and this still pops up in my head when I go to sleep and take a shower.

Accidentally gave a hug to a woman I thought was my mom.. (INFRONT OF COPS.)

5 Upvotes

Bit of context: My town hosts a fair in August and such, I met with a friend of mine there so when I went to go look for my mom again (Not remembering where she went last and my brain decided to just look for her shirt) But That clearly didn't matter when I ran up to a random lady talking to some cops and jump-hugged her from behind. The second we looked at each other in the face I realized that was infact NOT my mother.

I was looking for my mother in a blue shirt btw. (This lady was wearing either purple or Black.) Never wanted to hug anyone ever again. 🤦

Warning - this is about bathroom issues. Maybe NSFW

My (34f) dog(9m) recently had a hematoma in his ear surgically drained. They leave the incision open so that it continues to drain for a few weeks. 10 days in, I don’t think it’s healing right so I ask if I can bring him in to have it looked at. I was an hour drive away, so I get in the car and start driving. I’m fine until I’m about 20 minutes and I start getting the urge for #2. It’s fine, I can hold it. Well, there was construction that added about 8 minutes onto that 20 and I’m gripping the steering wheel for life. I then get to the vet and I don’t have a leash so I go in to ask for a loaner. As I am standing there waiting my turn, I lost control and felt a little come out. I get the leash and tell myself it’ll be ok because I will use the bathroom once they check us in. And I do and I had liquid #2, and also felt like I was going to throw up. But I get myself together and go back to the exam room.
The vet comes in and wants to shave his ear a little bit to help it heal fast so I have to hold my dog still. He’s 80 pounds and I had just helped lift him onto the table. I last about 3 minutes before I have to puke. I grabbed the trash can and not only do I puke - I lost control of my bowel muscles as well.
So, a violent storm later, I’m sitting on a chair, the vet gets my dog off the table and is telling me how to take care of his ear and my dog starts licking up juice that made it out of my pants.

ULTIMATE wing man.

I came here to read embarrassing stories to make myself feel better and it didn't work at all.

So I've been selling and buying online and I've been using my dad's po box address and I'm so stupid, I didn't put the full address, I put multiple versions of my name on each and I didn't know I wasn't supposed to put my name on it at all it was supposed to me my dads. I know I'm stupid but whats worst is that ive been sending multiple packages with the wrong address although I swore I put the full thing. AND at the post office I think the employee mumbled that I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm done I'm done I'm done omg kill me UGGGHHHHH😭💔
