What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you during your school years?
This is a 1 day contest that runs until 11:59 p.m. tonight. Winners will be announced Sunday.
Honestly..I can’t say, nothing embarrassing never happened. Sure that time I puked in the hall infront of a cute guy, but that was mostly gross
I honestly don’t know. I guess i was lucky!
Junior high – the bell rang, I stood up to leave and…tooted. I hoped in the bustle of everyone leaving, no one would notice – but of course, the boy who constantly badgered me (as I got older I realized he had a major crush on me) laughed and announced it to the world, I blushed and he tormented me even more. Of course, I have learned the best thing to have done would have been to make a joke of it and laugh at myself but at the time, I wanted to crawl under a rock. So glad we only have to do junior high once!
Lunch time- I got up to put my lunch try back and didn’t see the wet floor sign. Well everyone knows pretty much what happen- I steps onto the wet floor and went heels over head and remember seening my shoe and thinking I need to clean my shoes before I hit the floor- thankfully everyone was in shock to laugh and I was unhurt, and did I mention I was wearing a dress?
The first thing that pops into my head is when I was in 2nd grade and the teachers called up the kids who had summer birthdays. That included me and as I stood up there with the teacher and all the other kids were on the floor in front of me, I noticed everyone snickering and pointing at me. Turns out I forgot to zip my pants and was made fun of the rest of the day.
I seem to have walked into a lot of doors as I was going down the hallway during the school day back then.

Oh, so many things!! I was an unlucky kid! But the worst was when I was in 7th grade. I used to be in the choir. I got sick with the flu the day of my first solo performance. The teacher made me sing!!! It was awful!!! 🙁

I would say the day I took my jacket off and hung it on the back of my chair and when I got up to take my test to the teacher, my jacket sleeve had gotten stuck in my back pocket and I dragged my jacket all the way up the aisle.
I’m not sure if this actually happened to me but my bff said it did. I may have blocked this embarrassing episode from my memory. The skirt tucked in pantyhose situ. Oh.my.God.
I can’t think of anything that embarrassing. Thank goodness.
oh I love those questions – it’s great to think about school and how it was…
there wasn’t a most embarrassing moment I had, but I was very very shy during school and I blushed most of the time while talking – you can’t believe how glad I was as it stopped 😉
My most embarrassing moment was when I moved from England to the US. My dad was working a job about 4 hours away so stayed in that town during the week and came home on the weekends.
I wanted to do something with a friend but had to ask my dad’s permission.
When I got to school the next day my friend asked if I’d spoken to my dad yet and I said, Oh yes, he knocked me up last night!
In England, being knocked up means someone rang you on the telephone!
Much confusion ensued and I was actually called into the counselour’s office!
It has to be the time I threw up when I was in elementary school. I definitely remember not wanting to go back to school when I was feeling better.
My name was mispelled in the program for the senior awards ceremony. Wasn’t my fault, of course, but since I was president of the class, I had hoped that my name would be listed correctly! Mom was not pleased.
I started wearing glasses in elementary school, and I kept forgetting to put them on in the morning. I’d get to school and realize I didn’t have them and I’d have to be excused to run home and get them. It was embarrassing to have to ask the teacher all the time if I could go back home.

I was sucking on a ball point pen in class and it exploded in my mouth. I had blue teeth and mouth for quite awhile!
I cannot remember anything embarrassing happening.
My uniform skirt really did get caught in my undies . . . luckily not for long with my good friends. Ugh!!
I was sitting on one of those long tables in the art room and talking to a couple guys when suddenly the table leg broke. When it fell the a bottom screw caught one of the guy’s jeans and made a good size rip in his pants. Everyone had a good laugh and the boy did not care but I was very embarrased.
When I was in Grade 3 the teacher made us cut out Christmas stockings and I accidently cut one in half by mistake. The teacher yelled at me in front of the whole class.

One year in high school, I had a locker on a bottom row. I was really shy, and I had a crush on my science teacher. One day when he walked by and said “hello” in passing, I ducked down to my locker and my split the seat of my pants with a loud tearing sound. I was wearing the wildest pair of underwear that I owned, a bright pink print, and my face turned an even hotter shade of pink : ( I had to wear my sweater tied around my hips the rest of the day!
I wore a padded bra to school when I wore the fitted tops. One day one of the pads fell out in the hall and my crush picked it up and handed it to me saying my shoulder pad came out… talk about mortified.

Right now nothing comes to mind. I probably blocked all my embarrassing moments from my head, lol.
Right before my fifth grade started, my mom took me to the barber (not hairdresser/stylist) and cut my hair. He cut my hair like a boy’s. I was soooo embarrassed the next day when the teachers and all the boys kept teasing me. In fact, I was embarrassed for that whole week until everyone got used to my look.
Sixth grade – we were paired up (boy/girl) for dancing lessons and we would perform with other school kids around the city at a big hotel in a few of months. I was hoping to be paired with my sort-of crush, but much to my horror, I was paired with my crush’s best friend, the most popular boy in the class. Did I mention that I was not the most coordinated person around? And he danced really well? He was a nice guy, but the whole thing was appalling to me from beginning to end.

I can’t believe only one other person had the “white skirt” answer. It’s such a classic. Though in my case it was white pants. — willaful
I was a real book nerd when I was in high school. I was sitting in a windowsill reading one day when a guy that I though was cute came up and kissed be. I heard laughing and found out he had lost a bet and that was what he had to do
I fell out of a swing in front of, like, everyone I knew. It doesnt sound so bad, but with everyone laughing at you and not one person asking if you are OK, its both embarrassing and hurtful ;-(
Nothing beats getting your first period in the middle of an inter-school oration you *know* you’re kicking ass with.
Sigh.
At lunch one day during my freshman year of high school someone said something funny, I don’t even remember what, and I spit Dr. Pepper all over the table. That soda must have gone like 5 feet. I can laugh about it now but I was mortified at the time.
