Thread: What was the most embarassing thing to happen to you in school?

Today's experience made me ask this question.

When I eat a lot of junk food, I get sick with diarrhea and sometimes vomit. I didn't think it was that bad when I left for school, but during first period I really felt like taking a dump but I never want to do that at school. As the day went on into second period I tried to endure but to no avail. I pooped my pants a little and during lunch a little more. During third period it started to smell so badly and others could smell it too so I asked to go to the nurses. I walked to the nurse and saw other students there so I just walked around and ended up close to an exit that hardly anyone takes and planned to wait it out until third period was over so I could ask my friend to skip school with me.

I waited a while but a security guard found me and smelled it so he took me to the nurses office and I thanked him, close to tears from embarrassment. They called my sister and she came to pick me up with me waiting in the nurses office, smelling terribly.

P.S What should I do tomorrow? I mean, I don't think anyone knew I pooped myself besides the security guard and nurse but if others smelled me and spread the story, what should I do? I'm kinda scared.

That sucks. Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix that possible situation, other than to say you were sick all of a sudden.

My most embarrassing moment in school... I was in grade four, and my classmates and I were sitting in a cluster at the foot of a chair, which our teacher was sitting in. She was reading us a book. I was near the back of the group with some other students.

I suddenly farted and everyone looked behind themselves, towards our little group. I said, "it wasn't me!" and they believed me, but god, I was embarrassed.

Yea I don't know what to tell you.. I guess just tell them you were sick and hope no one asks any questions.

My experience happened like 4 years ago when I was in middle school. I was in my English class and we were reading a book and my leg fell asleep. I never really had this happen to me before and it felt weird so I just let it happen. Then my teacher told me to go close the door because it was too loud. So when I got up, I realized I couldn't walk on my foot! So I limped all the way to the door, accidentally slammed it so hard and made everyone jump, then limp back to my seat. Everyone saw me but thankfully no one said anything..

Spilling coke all over a girl I used to have a crush on. Can't really help to wipe it off if it's on her chest

Calling my teacher mom.

Singing solo in front of the whole school (700 people).

I'm not easily embarrassed, but the first one was pretty fucking bad.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll probably have forgotten all about it. They're egocentric humans filled up with their own thoughts.

I performed with my band at some talent show at school about 3 years ago. There were about 300 people and I only got about 20 seconds to tune my guitar so my guitar was horribly out of tune... The solo sounded horrid.

OMG I kind of had the same experience as you but a bit worse and a bit more disgusting.

So I think I was in 6th or 7th grade and I really needed to poop but I never poop in school because I just don't like the feeling of it(sounds kind of stupid, but a lot of people say they don't like to poop in school). It just kind of creeps me out if I take a dump in the school bathroom and I would probably stink up the whole entire thing Okay, so what happened was I really needed to poop but I decided to hold it in until I get home. And out of no where it just comes out! I pooped my pants in the middle of class AND while I was working with a group of people and 1 of them was a really hot girl! So then I start to smell like complete shit so I literally just ran out of my classroom not caring wtf the teacher was going to do, like she's gonna follow me to the bathroom? I went into the bathroom and OMG I was smelling SOOOO bad it was ridiculous. So I had no clue what to do and then I just decided to go into a stall and take of my underwear(I used to wear tighty whities back then LMAO so it was cluttered up in there) I was so grossed out so I just decided to flush my underwear(pretty smart idea lmao) Next thing you know the toilet is clogged and I run out of the stall and put my pants back on and rub then with soap and water so they didn't smell like crap. This was just so embarrassing for me.

Sorry if it sounded disgusting, just imaging being there!

Oh god... I'd die if that would happen to me lol.

I haven't ever had the same experience you've had.. But one of my friends (Ex-friend really) has...

He kept asking the teacher he needed to go to the toilet.. but it was in class so she kept on refusing to let him...

After a while.. While she's teaching, he just rushes out of the classroom.. and stands outside by the window...

Brown stuff starts dripping on the floor next to him.. It turned out he'd done... in his pants while she was teaching...

The whole class saw.. (So naturally the idiots spread it and soon the whole year knew...)

That probably won't happen with you.. But I'm guessing it's pretty embarrassing..

The most embarrassing thing that happened to me:

1) I was going to a trip with some people from my school to Barcelona.. and while we were at the airport, some people started to run really fast with their suitcases so I started running with mine....

10 seconds later, I'm on the floor after tripping spectacularly.. The rest of the class were behind me, so.. They all saw.. (Believe me.. so bloody embarrassing that up until know; it makes me shudder)

2) Leaving my trouser zip open while in the computer room.. two students on either side of me.. () wasn't nice.. Lol

What's up with being afraid of going to the bathroom? Sure, it'll feel bad for the first 10 seconds, but afterwards once you don't have to hold in your poop for another 3 hours, you will feel really good.

I dunno, I felt like if I went into the bathroom, I'd fart a lot and smell up the whole school bathroom. Kinda regret not doing it now, though.

You know, most people don't like using the bathrooms because they're usually disgusting (or atleast people think they are), but this is like the reverse situation. Seriously, pooping is something all people do. Would you laugh at somebody for else taking a dump that smelled?

Because really, that makes you a sad person.

Yes.

Just kidding.

Last year, this kid was farting a lot when he was in the toilet. I laughed for a bit while he was doing, but then I left for lunch. Damn Karma.

Lol that sucks, dw, they'll probably forget about it after a year or 2

My most embarrasing moment was when we were getting ready to go on a fieldtrip out of state, i was waiting for us to get going, we were waiting for another teacher's class, suddenly the kid next to me (this annoying kid who everyone hated and thought he was tough and all that(dw i ended up beating him up one class after he threw my books)) pointed out that my pants were on backwards :'( the period before that, I had gym, so when i got changed back in my regular clothes after gym, i must have put them on backwards being excited about the fieldtrip, i ended up getting changed in the bathroom, thank god only a few people saw, no one remembers it now thankfully

If you don't mind lying, just tell anyone whom asks that something you ate gave you indigestion and really bad gas. This portrays you as the unfortunate victim and is tame/reasonable enough not to cause further suspicion or unnecessary disgust. Most people don't care about farting after the fact.

If no one talks to you about it, and you know there are fairly bad rumors going around, tell someone you know (preferably someone who'll likely spread whatever you say to them) the story above in "confidentiality."

Or you could just not give a shit, since your reputation in high school doesn't mean much of anything in the grand scheme of things.

Also, the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me throughout my High School career occurred whenever I answered a question posed in class incorrectly. Fortunately, that only transpired on one or two occasions that I can remember.

Running full tilt into a classroom and tripping, which ended with me face-planting into a desk leg. It wasn't so much the embarrassment of actually tripping, it was I had to present to the class full of second grade kids right after. (me being in grade 6-8 then)

I guess I'm just immature, but I find it funny, too. Sometimes, at least.

Well, jokes on you, only losers thinks it's funny, and also only losers poop their pants.

Other than the usual little embarrassing thing that everyone forgets about really fast, I had two events that made me dread going to school ever again.

6th grade:
I have this really stupid kinder surprise toy I had in my pocket. One day, after P.E. it's gone and I mention to a friend that it's missing. He then proceeds to go to the pedagogical advisor in our school, (who is a pretty large, bearded, Greek man with a thundering voice that everyone fears), and tell him how my toy was stolen and how it was really important to me or something. He must have told him it was an antique that was in my family for centuries or something, because a few days later, every single guy in the year is lined up in the sports hall, told to empty their bags on the floor, and I was told to search them in the middle of a biology lesson. I SWEAR TO GOD THIS HAPPENED and I was convinced my reputation was overkilled. My friend asks me to never mention his name when he realises the extent of the mess, and being the oh-so-very good friend I am, I take all the damage.

Luckily, our school was pretty new and most people only started coming in the years to follow. I did manage to make everybody forget but I have no idea how. I guess I played it off somehow.


This next story is very, very, very long (I got a little carried away) but involves both embarrassment and fear for my life. And it's completely true:

Spoiler for Story:

11th grade or so; we come back from about a week long trip to Naples, Italy. During the trip I was pretty much the only one carrying a video camera. When a teacher was looking, I pretended to be filming the scenery or some crap in a museum, but in in reality, all the videos on my camera were of my friends. We snuck out, bought alcohol, and everyone including my roomates got incredibly drunk off Jägermeister. To cut a long story short, they wrecked the hostel, puked all over the place, had several "encounters" with supervisors or teachers, streaked through the hostel and got the residents angry, threw flowerpots or pee'd off the terrace onto pedestrians, beat each other up etc... The list goes on and on and on.

And... wait for it... I had it all on tape. And they didn't really care since I'm a trustworthy guy and I helped them stay incognito as well as not commit suicide while drunk. What happened to those videos is a different story, but the part that involves my embarrassment has yet to come:

We're back in school and the teacher approaches me on the "videos I took in Naples" (that is of museums and stuff). She wanted me to compile some film out of that footage and footage another girl took (that is actually educational stuff) since I didn't really write essays or presentations on the trip. I, being the idiot I am, absent-mindedly say, "sure thing" and tell her that I can have it done for tomorrow.

I go home realising my stupidity. Not only do I barely have any footage, the footage that I do have is stuff like me and my friends climbing up some old castle and signing our names or something. I don't even know what most of the places were called. Also there was no way I could finish it in one day on the brick of a computer I had. I think to myself "I'll get myself through this somehow as usual" and give up on the project.

Next day I go to school and hear that she got the janitors to prepare the aula with chairs and the projector and stuff. I was meant to be pulling a talk in front of at least 200 people at exactly 12:00. And I'm prepared with: freakin' nothing. I realise the excuses I had mentally prepared are no longer sufficient and I start to panic.

For P.E. (the period before when my presentation should be) we went to a nearby mall to swim. As I'm walking back to school, I take my time, and it's past 12:00. I was just hoping the aula wasn't meant for me and she just forgot about it. Then I'm approached by two friends who tell me that because I'm late for my talk, she now has half of the audience combing the school and the surrounding area for me. I tell them to pretend they never saw me and being in the panicky state I was, I decided I should just run. I knew the area pretty well and knew the typical places they would check like the park and the mall etc.

I run to a different nearby school and climb over the fence. I thought I could just pretend to be a student there for the rest of the day since it's pretty big and has a lot of students anyway. The problem was that it was a public school that is known to have very aggressive students and several cases of kidnapping or crazy fights. And they hate every single student that goes to our school, since one of their school buildings were demolished to make way for it. Also, our school is a private school and the security guards have had to physically fight off students from that other school because they think our school is full of rich spoilt kids or something. Because of them our school is like a prison though.

Anyway, I'm scared to death as I'm walking around unfamiliar territory but most students had lessons. There was what looked like a gang smoking by the main entrance and since the fence has these plastic sheets on the other side, I really had no idea how I was gonna get out. I don't know if I was just paranoid or if everyone really was staring at me just like in Inception. I squoze myself between a building wall and a fence and just sat there waiting for what seemed like forever to see what would happen. I kept wishing it was all just a really realistic lucid dream.

But wait, the embarrassing part is still to come. I make it home eventually for the weekend of fear, and cheated my way around explanations etc. but I knew that I would have to avoid the teacher seeing me for the rest of the year at least. Everyone already though the situation was cleared up and that I had talked to her and I made up some crazy excuses. Everything goes fine for a couple of weeks, until the day I come late for school...

So I'm running to my class, mentally preparing another excuse, and I thought I had History, when in reality I had English. So I'm running to the classroom I have History in, open the door without knocking and barge in. Just as I was about the start with "Sorry I'm late..."... you can probably guess the rest.

RIGHT THERE IS NONE OTHER THAN THE TEACHER I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING, STANDING ALONE IN AN EMPTY CLASSROOM.

I would have died if I weren't convinced I was in some kind of elaborate hidden camera show. What followed was 15 mins of the most embarrassing, awkward moments of my life. She knew everything I said was a lie. She used to be really nice but now she hates me for making her look bad. Guess I deserved it for always smuggling my way through work.

A year later I get a call on my cellphone and it's her. She says she wants footage so she can compile film that she'll hand out on a CD for graduation. This time I just give her a flat-out NO. I have no idea where she got my number. Crouching between the wall and the fence of that hostile school kinda hurt physically and psychologically.

Paraknight.. That story was epic... I love reading stories that are wrote well...

I've been in tons of situations like that.. But I'm amazing at making excuses when put on the spot.. And can easily get a teacher to sympathise for me when it's actually my own fault..

I hate getting into situations like these and just worrying your ass off...

I once had a girl pants me in the middle of a speech and debate meeting whilst I was talking to my coach. She didn't meen to grab the shorts as well, but she did. I saved face and acted like I wasn't embarassed, saying that I was going to have to charge everyone next time which made them laugh. But when it happened, I wasn't suave until I put my pants back on. I reacted quickly. But the worst part was the girl who was sitting 7 feet in front of me, with everything at perfect eye level. She was a very reserved, sweet, Christain freshman who I think may havee been homeschooled up until high school. I felt bad for her.

EDIT: I also remember in Speech and Debate this girl who would wear a suit top with a skirt when she gave her speeches. But, no lie, you could totally see right through her skirt. She was fairly attractive, so I think it is unnecesary to say that it sucked to give a speech right after her.
