One time I was playing Yahtzee with my family, and my father was gloating saying he was SO going to get a Yahtzee. He rolled and failed to get anything close to a Yahtzee so I laughed and called out NOTzee as a joke. I then realized what I had shouted and turned red... NATZI?! WHAT WAS I THINKING! I did, however win the game, but I still was SO embarrassed...

I lie awake thinking of all the embarrassing things I've ever done. I still think of things from six or seven years ago, in clear detail. The odd thing is, I can't remember much else from then- except for the embarrassing things. I lie awake thinking of how I could have made it right/avoided it. It's all very annoying.

Mine is the one time when I was 5 I went to the rodeo with my dad. He's that classic bald guy who wears worn out clothes all the time. We were waiting in line and I got a little bit lost kind of not really. I was 5 so everyone was taller than me and I couldn't see their faces. I saw my dad in front of me, and I hugged him on the legs.

It wasn't my dad.

I'll go first, so when I was in 4th or 5th grade I went through a really techy phase, where I wanted to make everyone think I was some super-cool hacker. And there was this one girl, maybe 2 years older than me, who I REALLY wanted to impress (now I realize it was a crush) and so I sent her an email with a bunch of lines of code, and at the bottom of the email I said, "Oops, sorry that was meant for my database." OH MY GOD, I cringe just thinking about it, at the time I thought it was a normal thing to do!

Mines complicated. I lie awake thinking of all the things I want to be, things I want to change, all these big ideas I think will help my mental health and physical health. I have like a can-do attitude about it and everything. But once I finally sleep and then wake, it is all forgotten. But at night I get angry at myself for not making an effort. And ways I can change, and then it's stuck on loop. Most days I don't want to get out of bed and I am just always tired, stressed and in a lot of pain. I want my night brain to be my day brain.

Ok this one time when I was 19, which to put in context was over 20 years ago. I had a job and a lady I worked with had recently put on a lot of weight. A group of us were all talking and I asked her when her baby was due. She said she wasn't pregnant, my mind raced as fast as it could and I was like my mistake someone had told me you were. I don't think anyone believed it, but everyone pretended to so we didn't have to talk about why I really thought that. I am still mortified by this to this day and it pops in my head from time to time, unwanted, to keep me awake or distract me when I am working. Here is the thing it was just embarrassing when I was younger, now it bothers me because it was so wildly inappropriate on my part and I feel awful that I was ever so insensitive to think it was acceptable. It was an embarrassing moment of my life that always finds it way back into my mind to mortify me.

There was a church service when I was kid that had happened many times before but for some reason I just couldn't remember what happened during the sermon. So the guy asks a rhetorical question, about how he's from Kentucky and do you know what people from Kentucky are famous for?
"FRIED CHICKEN!!!" I shout with confidence from my spot in the pews, proud I answered his question with a good answer.
"Grits." The man says, bringing some Quaker grits out and smashing it with a hammer. I don't remember much of what happened that night but shouting out FRIED CHICKEN in a room full of Christians is an embarrassing to me.
Yes, I was thinking KFC= Kentucky Fried Chicken, a fast food restaurant chain popular in the southern part of America.

When I was around eleven, my parents took my little brothers and me to a waterpark. We were very excited because it was our first time at a waterpark. This particular park had a slide with no lights, so you were engulfed in complete darkness while sliding down. Every time I went down, I sang at the top of my lungs, thinking that the noise of the slide would somehow drown it out.

My little brothers told me later that it did not. Apparently, everyone waiting in line gave them strange looks. I still think about this.

Ok, so one of my ways of dealing with embarrassing memories is to tell people about them, and then they become less embarrassing. The one I tell people about the most goes like this: I was in fourth or fifth grade and it was winter, so most kids were bundled up, including me. I was looking around and saw my friend (Jerry*) walking with his coat tied around his waist and he was fanning himself. Of course, this was surprising, so I said "Jerry! What are you doing?" and he said "I'm hot!" And my other friend was right next to me (Mabel*). She didn't hear our conversation, so I said (very loudly) "Mabel! Jerry's hot!" AND I FORGOT "HOT" HAD TWO MEANINGS... Yeah that was an embarrassing moment.

Who asked if it was any cheaper without the printed sleeve? Only me. Still can’t quite believe I was so stupid.

For the really young devotees of Bored Panda, Do They Know It’s Christmas was a charity single to raise money for the relief of the 1983-85 famine in Ethiopia. This in turn, lead to Live Aid in July 1985.

so one time, about 5 or 6 years ago, I lived in another place and went to a different school than I do now (Thank GOD). during my time at that school, I was really into Diary of a Wimpy Kid books(DOAWK for short), and I was also at the young phase where I would copy anything I see in a book, TV show, or real life. I was reading the one DOAWK book (the hard truth, I think) where Greg need some new friends, and he lists some people he definitely won't be friends with, and one of them was a guy who pulled his pants all the way down to use the urinal. like, to his ankles, where everyone could see his behind (I think we all know where this is going). So, one day, the bathroom was pretty crowded, so while using the urinal, I decided to PULL MY PANTS DOWN TO MY ANKLES! EVERYONE COULD SEE MY REAR END! WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING? Thank goodness I'm in a new school now.

Playing an online game with a few people I recently met in-game. We decided to do a harder dungeon together, so we all prepped ourselves and focused really hard and altogether it was about 7 hours over two nights of intense focus and communication. About 99% of the way there I clumsily stepped on a trap and killed everyone. Game over, start from the beginning, no consolation prize. Since then I can't stop thinking about the total combined time that I wasted for everyone, or the fact that if not for me, everyone would have a success story to tell. It reminded me of being in group projects in school, like I actually tried hard but am dumb and the whole group gets a zero because of that. I never spoke with them after the fact, just absorbed the disappointment, apologized and left with the promise that they'll get there with anyone else but me.

Once, when I was about 11, I was in the supermarket with my mother. Although I'd shopped with my parents countless times, this was the first time I noticed the sign for "Sanitary Napkins" at the end of that particular aisle. Being a somewhat intellectual (nerdy?) and very logical kid, I began to rather loudly explain to my mother how stupid it was for the supermarket to label this. No, I wasn't suggesting the sign was inappropriate. I was asking things like: "Aren't ALL napkins sanitary? Who would buy UNsanitary napkins? Oh, what, you're going to wipe your mouth with a napkin that isn't sanitary?!" My mother made a few hushed, unsuccessful attempts to get me off the subject. Finally, she said, "Carl, shut up!" I did so immediately because now, decades later, I've never heard her say those words to me or anyone else again.

I used to have this recurring dream about a tiny door in the back of my grandmother's closet leading straight to my aunt's house. I would go through and open a closet with a
giant stuffed bear. Then the bears would come alive and try to attack. I know it sounds hilarious but it was terrifying. The bear is about 80 pounds from what I remember and 7 feet tall. I would run into the kitchen away from it but then I would fall. And if you've ever fallen in a nightmare, you know that it's near impossible to get back up. The bear would then crush me. This dream happened every week and gave me PTSD, I wouldn't go near my grandma's closet until the dreams eventually stop.
