What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you at school?

I would have to put something that happened my junior year as my most embarrassing moment. There was a guy I liked and wanted to impress so I dressed in a nice dress and put makeup on then I went to school. All day long, people were pointing at me and I thought that I must really look nice. At the end of the day, I leaned back against the bus seat and felt something heavy on my shoulder. I reached back to feel it and realized I had walked around all day with a clothespin on the back of my shoulder. I certainly made an impression on others that day.

Linda quite funny actually. I am sitting here laughing away. Though I am sure at the time it was not funny at all. Hmm I am thinking back and remember that I was in school and many were looking at me funny one day. I could not figure out why as they were cruel anyways because I was not a brand name type clothing wearer and they lots of them were. So finally around 1pm a nice girl came to me to tell me my shirt was inside out. I was and figured out why they were laughing more then the normal. But funny how about a year later the inside out clothing was in style. lol, though I must admit I don't like it one bit. Maybe it was that day that did it for me. lol

I never got into the inside out fad either. Not sure why that caught on. Another crazy fad is when people would wear sneakers of two different colors.

@hardworkinggurl - So you started that FAD! Was not into it either tho! @linda - Neither was I into the two different sneakers FAD. For the most part, I don't like looking like a fool. But I must admit, it happened to me at work. Somehow I didn't notice that I was wearing different formal shoes on each foot. Good thing they had similar styles and both were black and formal and almost no one noticed it. But since I knew I made a mistake, it made me feel awkward!

@shattered your shoe experience reminds me of being a teen with a hickey. LOL it was in a spot no one could tell it was there, thankfully for the turtle neck ware. lol but the whole time I felt like the world could see it. Almost like a pimple on the face it is like screaming hey look at me.

Hi! That's really embarrassing! When I was in high school, I also had a guy that I liked so much. We weren't classmates but our classrooms in the afternoon were near to each other so I always see him during that time. One time I went out of the classroom to get some fresh air (to look for him actually ). When I was walking in the hallway, I saw him just came out of nowhere. And then this really strong wind came, blew my skirt up high and I was so embarrassed I ran back to the classroom. I don't know if he saw it or not but when we saw each other again, he didn't mention anything about it. ^^

I was involved in a water play fight. I had been with other students having a great time. We were by a drinking fountain and were using tubs to throw water at friends. We were walking along the corridor and we get caught all wet. The Science teacher took us up to the lab and got us to sit in our vests. He dried our wet blouses and skirts. He gave us a right lecture about being so naughty. Another time I had been climbing trees behind an old school building used for Music. Most of the buttons pinged off my shirt when I came down a branch. I had to walk in a way my skirt didn't come down to my next lesson. Other students noticed and found it very funny. One time I was walking along and not looking where I was going. I walked into a tree funnily enough.

Just last semester I was on my way to chemistry class juggling books in one hand and coffee in the other. I was trying to open the heavy door and as I swung it my coffee dropped and I was trying to catch it with my thigh I can honestly say that was not a good idea! Because some of the coffee spilled right on my inner thigh and soaked to the groin! I looked like I peed my self. The worst part was it was hott and right in front of the whole class!!

That would be embarrassing. I had something similar. I was in chemistry class and my pocket caught on the drawer and ripped down the side seam. I ran to the bathroom and had someone get the teacher for help. They brought me safety pins and then I went to the home ec. room to see if they could fix the pants. They could fix them but they had to make a toga out of a bed sheet and pin it on me and I had to go to my next class in a bed sheet that looked like a toga. After that class was over, I went back to home ec. and they had my pants sewed.

Yikes Linda, that would be very embarrassing I am sure. I am hoping you can laugh about it today though. I'm not sure, a lot of embarrassing things did happen to me at school but I can't pinpoint the most embarrassing one. Here's one though freshman year I had a huge crush on this senior boy that my parents wouldn't probably even allow to deliver our pizza, newspaper etc let alone me to date. It didn't stop me from staring at him constantly. He had computer lab when I had accounting and the rooms were on the third floor right across from each other, so I always staled to catch a glimpse of him after class. (It was the senior classrooms mainly but I took a lot of upper classes beforehand) He came out a little later then usual and the hall was already crowded by the time he came out with the senior wrestling team who'd been in the library taking year book pictures. I was trying to walk down the stairs while still gawking at the boy I liked and the wrestling team was behind me and the tardy ball was ringing, and I realized I couldn't walk (my mini backpack was stuck to the stairs, where the strap had looped over the stairs) and the guys were yelling "God Jessi go!" and I couldn't, because it was stuck and I was trying to reach around them and untangle it. And one of them picked me up and another one yelled. "Her bag is stuck!" and he of coarse untangled it and the other carried me down the stairs shouting "It's Jessi T's fault we are all tardy her bag was stuck That wasn't true they were all tardy before my mini backpack got stuck. They were all late by the time they came out of the library, and they had an excuse to be late, pictures. I however did not and I would of been late regardless waiting on computer lab boy. Clothes pin? I'd take a clothes pin any day then having the wrestling team announce my bag was stuck and they were tardy because that didn't even sound right. I never did get to date computer lab boy, but I never did stop gawking at him. I did however go to a movie or two with the moron who carried me down the stairs, and he did carry me up and down the stairs many many times after that but not because anything was stuck or because he was tardy but because it was fun, and now I am his boss go figure life is crazy sometimes.

I had so many embarrassing experience that I don;t actually know what to put here. There was the time I was scolded in front of the class by the professor once for allegedly flirting with a girl who happened to be my then girlfriends best friend, there was the time I didn't know I had torn my pants while trying to impress a girl... name it it probably happened to me! It certainly does feel embarrassing at that time and didn't know what will happen next but I got through it, and you know what, those were experiences that helped me realize the important things in life. Sometime we make a big deal out of little things that, at the end of the wouldn't really matter.

Well as for me, it was not just most embarrassing but definitely most gross experience I've had during my junior year. I had my monthly period that time and It was a heavy flow, I could feel it. I worried about getting my skirt stained and it happened. What's worst was the one who noticed it was my crush but he was gentleman enough to escort me all the way to our classroom so he can cover my back and gently whispered the reason why he escorted me. I felt my face was red all over because I was soooo embarrassed....

for me it would be when i was also in my junior years, we were asked to do a play, and our group presented "Dreamgirls" all were set except for the main character effie white. and in my surprise, my our group have decided to give me the role. it was hilarious! for i have done singing and lip singing in my life but not as much as of this play. by the way effie white was the character of jenifer hudson on its filmed version. quite embarassing for the stage was in an open area and most of the students saw what i did! haha1
