I had someone say something similar about me a few years ago. The store I work in is considered a discount store, and people take the p**s out of it all the time, but still shop there. This one guy said to his kid "that's why you do your homework, don't wanna end up like him" (pointing to me), so I replied "well, at least I'm not scamming the government by claiming disability benefits when I'm not entitled to them, I don't sell d***s outside the college on the afternoon, and I earn enough so I don't HAVE to shop here, unlike some people". Got a complaint put in to head office about it. I deal with all complaints for the area, so that one was swiftly rejected.

A lot of my fellow students worked fast-food or retail (vet school is spendy), but it's still not a big deal if we weren't in school.

Parents like that are the ones that demand their kid go to college and take some useless major. If every worker that in their eyes is just a useless person in a pointless job were to suddenly disappear, I wonder how long it would take these idiots to comprehend that those "lowly" workers are the people who actually keep everything going. Show me a C level worker who actually makes money for the company. While there are a precious few, most companies would be better off without their entire C level staff.

30 Cringy Things People Did That Gave Off Second-Hand Embarrassment For Those Around Bless my ex gf. She was a waitress, and we were out to dinner with my parents. My mother pulls the "trying to use an expired coupon" move on the waiter. She simply refused to accept that time is a thing and that the written date had passed.

While I zone out and wait for my mom to either win or be escorted out by management, my ex was apparently slowly losing her mind. She suddenly snatches the dollar bill sized coupon from my mother's hand and eats it. Literally tore it and shoved the pieces in her mouth. She says that since there's no more coupon, there's no deal.

It was nice, having the crazy chick be crazy on the staffs behalf for a change.

I went to and worked at a fairly large flight school attached to a university. We had a couple thousand people enrolled in the program that went all the way from 0 hour student pilot to Multi Engine Flight Instructor, and on clear calm days you can guarantee that there would be a handful of student pilots doing their first solo flight. One student, having completed his two landings by himself, taxied off the runway and switched over to ground control and asked for clearance to taxi back to the ramp and complete his first solo flight. Ground obliged, gave him clearance and congratulated him on a solo well done. Solo student read back the instructions but for some reason *forgot to take his finger off the microphone button.* Anyone tuned into ground control could not only hear but could do nothing to interrupt or stop him as he *sang a song of his own invention about how much he loved the aircraft he was driving.* For three whole minutes, this poor bastard serenaded the 50 or so pilots, ramp workers, air traffic controllers and flight supervisors with "I love you Cessna, I love you Cessna" as he taxied back to the ramp. Eventually he realized he was on the air, took his finger off the button, enabling ground control got back on the frequency and, over the howls of the tower cab crew laughing so hard it hurt, the controller thanked him for the song and would pass along the compliment at the next opportunity.

She came to pick them up and as I handed them over to her, she obviously wasn’t expecting them to be as heavy as they were, and as she suddenly strained to counter the weight, she ripped the most extreme of farts you have ever heard. It was gargantuan. I was shocked, but also proud.

I’m usually pretty good at making light of any situation but I found myself speechless for the first time in my life. If I could, I would’ve returned serve but even on my best day I don’t believe I could create such a symphony.

When I was 18 (20 years ago) I worked at Starbucks as a Barista and I loved it! During the summer of 2004 my Grandfather passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. I was working when it happened and my Mom came in to give me the news and I left.

A few days later I’m back at work and it’s a full crew there that day and we were busy. Right before I hit the floor my manager called me into the back to check in on me and to also tell me that she had gotten feedback from her district manager that I crushed the interview I had with him for a shift supervisor position at a new store opening up. I was super jazzed and hit the floor ready to go. That day I was working drive with Jax (Jacki) and she could be a ball of energy! Whenever we worked together she would make these double shot slammers that had 4 pumps of white mocha, 4 raw sugar packets and topped with whipped cream. So essentially you were left with two cranked up baristas making drinks, sweating and heart palpitating.

During the shift it was announced that I was being promoted so everyone was really happy for me. They were also really sweet about my Grandfather passing as well. It was a bitter sweet day. As I’m making some drinks at the bar I notice a card being passed around and it’s not making it to me so I figured it was a condolences card for the loss of my Grandfather. At one point I see Jax grab it and write a message and hand it to my manager. At the end of my shift they gave it to me and it was full of sweet sympathy messages from everyone. But then my eye is drawn to a message that says, “Get it B***H! Congrats! I’m so proud of you! You better not be a stranger around here or you’ll be DEAD TO ME” - Jax . Her being hyped up on caffeine and in a rush thought that it was a congratulations card for my promotion. I started laughing when realizing what she did and another coworker read it and in front of everyone clocked her on it! Jax was mortified and took it really hard. I told her that I thought it was funny as hell and to not even stress it. She spent the rest of her shift embarrassed and took it really hard, profusely apologizing for the rest of the day. Needless to say, she probably reads the group card now before she signs it!

There is a sign on the door that said we reserved the right to refuse service to anyone, and management decided that this lady shouldn't eat with us again so the manager went over and comped the meals and told them to leave and not come back. The woman was upset and left mean feedback.

I embarrass myself enough on my own. One situation that comes to mind from years ago that haunts me.

I was 9 months pregnant, bored out of my mind on a Saturday morning and decided to go look for garage sales to pass time. I was also super young and poor and needed things for a house my ex and I had just rented.

I went to a few and then turned into a small neighborhood I had not been in before. I see a house with tons and tons of things in garage and a few tables in driveway. I started picking through things, carrying some items, making a pile at one point. I’d say about 10 minutes go by and an elderly woman came out the house and asked me how she could help me, and I replied I was just looking and would let her know if I needed anything. She looked at me really confused. My big dumb pregnant a*s started going through some curtains and things when it dawned on me to ask prices on what I had already put aside.

I asked her if she could give me some prices. She replied: “Oh honey, I’ve been looking for whatever died in that garage but if you need some things I can help you out.”

I declined and waddled to my car.

Nobody on our side of the family liked the guy and we were happy she had finally dropped him. Turns out nobody on his side of the family liked the guy either, his adult children and parents included, and didn’t seem phased at his death. My mom went to the funeral to support her sister and said it was the most awkward funeral she’d ever been to. There were only about 10 people who actually attended, and the pastor running the thing had set aside 30 minutes for people to come up and share their positive memories of the guy. No one moved. Nobody was willing to say a good word about him. Instead the pastor awkwardly tried to fill the space with some general “everyone has value” stuff, and then gave up and ended the service after 10 minutes total. No one in the family bothered to go to the graveside service either. Apparently they decided to go to a bar instead to get sh**faced and trash talk the dead guy.

My ex had a massive ego and one of the things he had an ego about was football, even though his team was an incredibly low division and had never won. One day I drove him to his game and as we approached the field he goes "ooft yesssss, these guys are total middle aged losers, we're gonna beat them for sure" and kept going on about how some of them were fat, ugly, balding, probably only playing to get away from their wives and s****y home lives, etc. I stayed mostly quiet during this (I hate when people insult others based on looks, something I'd told him off for multiple times) and simply told him good luck.

They lost 7-nil. Not just that, but this game pushed them to be knocked down into the next lowest division because they'd lost by too much. At the time I felt massive second hand embarrassment for him but now I just think "lmao karma.".

30 Cringy Things People Did That Gave Off Second-Hand Embarrassment For Those Around Well, many many years ago, when I was a kid, I was on holiday with my family in a remote location in Indonesia. It was NYE and there was a little party in the hotel restaurant, about half tourists and about half locals. Everyone had some food and a few drinks, and it was all going nicely.

Then a guy gets up and taps his glass. He tells the entire gathering that, as a proud West Virginian man, he would like to share something very special to him from his culture.

He proceeds to sing "Take me home, country road" by John Denver. Earnestly. A capella. With tears in his eyes.

My father is a rather blunt kind of Australian man. He absolutely could NOT reel it in. I think he tried for about 30 seconds but eventually just lost it and began laughing hysterically. So hard he cried. So hard everyone else near him began laughing too, just because it was contagious.

I went to school for software development. Very difficult program, high fail rate.

First day of second semester we're hanging out chatting and a guy I know from the program chats with us. Now, in first semester, he struggled. We all knew he struggled. I was kind of surprised to see him.

We were talking about grades and he says "Oh wow, you guys saw your grades? How?" Yes, he'd got through the semester and never checked his grades.

We pull up the school website and he logs in and we point him to the grades section. And he says "What do these W's mean?"

I look over and he's got a W in 3 classes, which is basically a grade lower than F. It's like a "Did not complete."

I'm like, "Uh, that means you can't really be here right now. You should go talk to the registrar's office."

He's honestly more confused than anything, he wanders off and we never see him again.

Okay, a W isn't worse than an F. It stands for withdrawn. Meaning that class doesn't effect your GPA, at all. It's like you never took the class (no credit given good or bad).

We were at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. Every night they had this common area where folks could do karaoke. A middle-aged gentleman got up and started the first few lines of Lionel Richie's "Easy". Some random lady from the audience ran up and attempted to sing the song with the gentleman. He kindly pushed her away two or three times as she tried to sing over his shoulder into the microphone. Finally, she just stood there dejected...swaying from side to side like an idiot - as the man broke from his song and professed his love for his girlfriend - and wrapped up with a marriage proposal.

They hugged, they kissed...the idiot girl went back to her seat.

I will still never understand why that guy chose THAT song to use to propose. However, he was killing the vocals!

I'm with you on not understanding the song choice for a proposal. It's the quintessential break up song. The first line is, "I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain. Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow." I hope the marriage went well.

30 Cringy Things People Did That Gave Off Second-Hand Embarrassment For Those Around Was on the subway going home from work when I lived in NYC. I was sitting down in a three row and next to me was a two seats. A woman gets on the train and sits next to the window near me. Then a guy sits next to her. The guy tried to get her number, but she said no. Before he knew it the doors were about to close at his stop so he tries to run off, but the doors close. He sits back down in the seat he was at and everyone is staring at him. He tries to get her number again and she respectfully declines. He goes to get up to get off the train at the next stop and drops his phone and a bunch of his stuff.

This is because his jacket was off and all his stuff fell out of his pockets. He then misses the chance to get off the train again. Before we got to the next stop he was trying to retrieve a few things that rolled since the train moved. He got his stuff and then got off the train.

It was so freaking hard to watch this unfold.

Laughed it off and managed to get away from him but he spent the rest of the night periodically coming up to me and saying “sorry about those jokes earlier” despite me saying it was fine and he just would not drop it. Everyone at the party had horrible second hand embarrassment, including me.

I recently went to an "Open Mike" night at a local comedy club. Each comic was terrible, except for one guy who was a comedy magician, so he'd do some magic then hilariously "accidentally" reveal how he did it (it just worked). The other 10 guys just bombed HARD one after the other. As they say, the "Silence was deafening", I felt so bad for them that I would sort of laugh even if it wasn't too funny in that sort of "Heh heh, OK, that's slightly amusing" but I was also in the front row, so they could see that I was kind of on their side, so they'd target in on me and try to be like Russel Peters, bantering with the crowd.

Anyway, they all sucked (except magician), but I applaud them getting up their and bombing in public. I felt sooo embarrassed for them.

My BIL and his wife had a contentious divorce. The pinnacle came when she posted all of their tax returns for several years with no personal information blacked out on FB and IG. She was trying to show everyone my BIL’s actual earnings in relation to what she was getting in spousal support. Which apparently she thought was unfair. Of course all of her personal info was laid out too. The replies had zero sympathy for her. Just things like “I know you’re mad but you’ve gotta take that down.” Or “he should sue you for posting this stuff.” Very cringe. She wouldn’t back down but she did disappear from social media about a week later. I haven’t seen her since and this was like 10 years ago. Tbh, I was surprised how much my BIL made though! Way more than his older brother (my hubby). 😂 So in a way it kind of back fired and made him look really successful.

One of the DI’s goes “what the f**k is this?” And instinctively we all turn and look to see this pale, skinny 19 year old that has s**t all over his a*s and cami’s. I can’t describe the humiliation and horror I felt. They made him march with his trousers around his ankles around the squad bay until our senior DI came out to see what was going on. I don’t think I s**t for a week after that. It was like my body stopped producing it out of fear. We had 63 guys in our platoon and he was the only one who didn’t graduate.

Smoke break at a tech support call center.

A really pretty girl ask anyone there for a smoke and a pencil neck geek got her one quickly and insisted on lighting it. For the next 10 minutes he attempted to dominate conversation because this was about him and her and he now had some sort of shot.

We were all standing around a garbage can with an ashtray on top. It was stuffed with bag lunches. The girl snuffs out her butt and tries to put it in one door of the garbage can, but it's a locked side. The geek says, "allow me" and launches into a strip mall karate kick, the biggest kick his 90 pounds can muster.

The garbage can goes over and the ashtray scatters wet sand, ashes and butts everywhere and on everyone. All the smokers take the last minutes of our break to pick up. The geek just stands there stiff like he's willing time to reverse before the time he f****d up and lost his true love forever. He stayed there even when the girl yelled at him to help.

We finished cleaning up and left him standing there.

What is the worst second hand embarrassment you've ever felt?

POST

BrunoVI 4 months ago

Worst I ever saw personally was a guy who lost a TON of weight before a board meeting dinner. He drank before the diner, and his body could no longer tolerate nearly as much alcohol. He threw up at the dinner, drowning a round table for 20 in vomit, clear from end to end. Worse than Family Guy. I might've saved his career by deliberately putting into the CEO's and other key people's ear the effect massive weight loss has on alcohol metabolism.

Good on you for trying to help. I'm sure he was super embarrassed. My ex husband was a recovering alcoholic. I just gave up alcohol all together, and I didn't start again when we split up. But I was out with family one night, several years later, and they pressured me to have a drink with them. I ordered a small cocktail and didn't finish it, but it was enough to make me ill. I didn't vomit on the table, but I was too sick to go shopping with them after dinner. Their comments were not kind. I realized my family were a-holes then; for pressuring me to drink when I didn't want too, and making fun of me for not being able to "hold my liquor".

It's especially awkward when they pick an audience member to come on stage, and then don't really do anything with them. I had a magician call me up on stage to assist him once. All he did was hand me his wand while he set up the next trick, then he took the wand back, did the trick, and thanked me for my assistance. I just stared at him for a minute and said, "You made me come up here for THAT? Geez, dude! Learn to multitask!" Everyone laughed for a solid minute. I felt guilty because I had embarrassed him, so I made a joke about him just wanting a pretty lady to touch his "wand". He laughed and made a joke back about not being good with his hands. Honestly, I think he would have made a better comedian than magician.

The worse second-hand embarrassment I felt was on a bus. There were children (8-10 yo) going on a field trip and there was this kind 9yo girl in a wheelchair. An obviously drunken man made comments about how it was so sad and couldn't she try and walk? I felt so sorry that I brought myself in and softly made him leave (remember he's drunk and maybe on drùgs), then I talked to her chaperone and told in front of the girl how the man was an @ss and how much it was a shocking behavior.
