The prime time for memories of embarrassing things you said or did to come is when your brain is shutting down and you are trying to fall asleep. At this point, not only can you not sleep, but you contemplate if it’s worth talking to people anymore and you try to calm yourself down by telling yourself that nobody even remembers what you said or did and it’s only a big deal for you.

In most cases, others really don’t care if you messed up or have been a bit awkward, but there are times when they really can’t forget. At least these women on Reddit can’t forget how men told them something embarrassing or even inappropriate.

27 Times Men Embarrassed Themselves By Saying Something Cringey, As Shared By Women In This Online Community My manager looked at me and said with all of my male coworkers in the room, "I hope I can try you out in bed. You must be a freak."

I reported him and he was terminated.

    27 Times Men Embarrassed Themselves By Saying Something Cringey, As Shared By Women In This Online Community My brother and I was in a car accident. The other drivers fault. It's kinda easy to see that my brother and I are siblings we keep out of eachothers space. Like we sit on opposite sides of a row of seats. They sued the insurance company and we had to go testify in court. The guy said loudly infront of the judge and lawyers that ofcourse I'd lie for my boyfriend I f**k him. The guys lawyer told him in not so quiet voice that we are siblings. He turned beet red and lost the case since the evidence clearly showed he was at fault. I had to wait till we left the court to laugh my a*s off.

    I'm flad that another person at least went "dude?" - I think the only way some people will act appropriately if the rest of society call out their bad behavior.

    27 Times Men Embarrassed Themselves By Saying Something Cringey, As Shared By Women In This Online Community "YOU'RE JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS... YOU TAKE MY PANCAKES AND LEAVE!!!!"

    This was after he fought me for the bill despite the fact that I insisted on paying for myself and then I declined an offer for a second date.

    He also said that he was so glad I wore a dress to the date because he thought that women who wear pants and don't have soft skin are overbearing feminists and he could not date someone like that. ANYWAY... I think you might see why I ended that fast.

    Gorilla's famously not very well endowed in a certain department, even though Gorilla's are larger than human's the manhood "gorillahood?) is smaller. Also the pic shows an Orang Utan, not a Gorilla..

    I’m insecure abt my arms too, they are very hairy for a teen female, and a guy came up to me some time ago and said “dang, for a girl you have very hairy arms! You look like a bear!!” And proceeded to make growling noises and bear noises. He was really childish if you couldn’t tell, he also proceeded to point it out to everybody in the same classes as us for the rest of the week….

    27 Times Men Embarrassed Themselves By Saying Something Cringey, As Shared By Women In This Online Community I was an extra on a film set and I had to smoke a prop cigarette- I don't smoke but I was cool with it and had agreed prior to filming, thought it would be an interesting experience. I was doing a scene with an older (and incredibly attractive) Russian man. In between takes, I wasn't holding it between my fingers to give my hands a break, but there was also nowhere to put it so I was holding it differently. Dude snatches it from my hand, puts it between my fingers to show me the "correct way" and says "typical womans." I was immediately turned off.

    Prior to shooting, I had noticed him and was low key crushing on him hard, so I was very excited to be picked doing the scene together. Well that took a complete 180.

    After we wrapped around midnight, he approached and said ," It's very late, I could give you a ride home." I'm pretty sure it wasn't even offered as a question and more of a command, it made me uneasy. I guess it was more of a weird interaction, but the first thing was certainly embarrassing for me.

    I mean...it could have been he confused them with someone else who he'd heard had been on maternity leave, and he thought she'd lost the baby weight? But strange phrase, to congratulate them on maternity leave rather than a baby - unless are in a country where maternity leave is not an automatic entitlement, and something harder to get approved??
