Last week, Student Times reporter Jack Preston asked students, “What’s the most embarrassing experience you’ve ever had?” Here are five of his favorite responses.
This happened at work a few years ago. I was on an elevator, and a man got on that I didn’t know. He asked, “How are you?” I answered, “Pretty good.” Then he asked, “What’s new?” and I said, “Nothing much.” Finally, he turned and said, “Do you mind?” He was on his cell phone! I was so embarrassed! – Susan
I sing all the time. One time, a few year ago, I was singing in the shower when my sister came into the bathroom and recorded me! Later, we were driving, and my sister put on some music. It was me! I was really embarrassed and turned bright red. – Becky
I fell asleep in math class once. I closed my eyes for a second, and the next thing I remember is my teacher’s voice. He was asking me a question. When I didn’t answer, he walked over to my desk. He asked the question again. – Alex
My friend’s parents had a birthday party for her at their new house last year. They had these glass doors that went out to the backyard, We were all outside, and I had to use the restroom. So I was running to the house and then – BAM! I hit the glass doors. I was really confused for a minute I thought they were open, but they were closed! – Anita
When I was in middle school, I bought this cool new sweater. I wore it to a school dance the next evening, and everyone laughed at me when I came in. The sweater was inside out! So I went into the restroom to change and came back out. Everyone laughed at me again – Evan
