Whether it's accidentally crashing someone's wedding or mistaking a random car for a taxi, we've all made a complete fool out of ourselves at some point in our lives. And that's why you should stop beating yourself about yours. Even if that moment was so awkward, you wanted the Earth to swallow you. The witnesses of your stupid actions probably forgot all about them since they're too busy obsessing about their own past mistakes.

When Twitter user Andy Ryan posted his most embarrassing story, people immediately started responding to it with their own cringeworthy memories. And I mean responding. Andy's tweet has already received over 80K comments and 559K likes, and the numbers keep growing!

Here in Finland it is usually OK to have wedding crashers. If the extra person acts nice then people usually do not care if there are uninvited people. There are also people who visit funerals only to get some free food.

When I was like 8 I was with my dad and he picked up a hitch hiker that he knew like 10 years prior. We dropped him off at a gas station and my dad noticed his wallet was missing from the cup holder he usually sits it.. so he told the guy he better give him the wallet now or else.... After we got home dad seen his wallet in the floor board and he opened the other wallet and it was the hitch hikers. My dad wallet snatched a homeless man.

One study says there's a (somewhat) quick way to move past life's most terrible moments. The answer: focusing on everything about the memory except the way it made you feel. "Sometimes we dwell on how sad, embarrassed, or hurt we felt during an event, and that makes us feel worse and worse. This is what happens in clinical depression—ruminating on the negative aspects of a memory," lead researcher Florin Dolcos wrote.

    But we found that instead of thinking about your emotions during a negative memory, looking away from the worst emotions and thinking about the context, like a friend who was there, what the weather was like, or anything else non-emotional that was part of the memory, will rather effortlessly take your mind away from the unwanted emotions associated with that memory. Once you immerse yourself in other details, your mind will wander to something else entirely, and you won’t be focused on the negative emotions as much." In other terms, you take control of the memory. You shape the way it floats through your thoughts. You diminish it.

    When I was 16, I worked at the mall. My father was picking me up out front. I walked out, saw his car, got in, shut the door, started rummaging through my purse and talking non stop when I realized we weren't moving. I looked up and over at my dad and (you know where this is going) it wasn't my dad. We had a pretty distinctive looking car and to this day it's the only other time I've seen one on the road. I apologized and got out without the person ever saying a word, lol. I'm sure they've told this story a time or two from their perspective.

    Similar thing happened to me but worse. I left my friend's and proceeded to get into my car. I left it unlocked. It sticks sometimes. I pull up on the handle and yank. It breaks off. I go to the passenger side it's open. I get in, climb over the shifter to the driverside with muddy boots only to realize that my car is parked next to me.

    After school my daughter came out to the line of cars and got into a white Ford sedan. She looked the old lady driving and thought "that's not my grandma!" She got out and went two cars back in the row to the correct Ford. She felt very embarrassed, but I told her any grandma would feel sympathetic to a child that made a mistake.

    Something similar happened to me once. I was walking out of 7-11, looking at my phone, pressed unlock on my keys, opened the door to get in when I heard "can I help you? from a man standing in the 7-11 doorway. I was getting into his BMW that he apparently left unlocked. Lesson for me, pay attention. Lesson for him, lock your doors.

    It's quite different than suppressing the bad memory, which is usually effective only in short term and increases chances of anxiety and depression in the long run. For a lot of people it might also be simpler than other emotion regulation strategies, such as trying to recast the negative situation into a positive one.

    At work, a lady who was short and heavy set with a pretty round face approached me with arms wide open. She was friendly and looked like the Welsh/German women in my family. Thinking she must be one of my mother's cousins, I gave her a hug, and said "I don't remember your name!" She told me that we had never met, she was just happy to meet me.

    "Looking at the situation differently to see the glass half full can be cognitively demanding," Sanda Dolcos, a co-author on the study said. "The strategy of focusing on non-emotional contextual details of a memory, on the other hand, is as simple as shifting the focus in the mental movie of your memories and then letting your mind wander."

    I felt so bad (and a horrible mother) when after a medical exam before school the doctor told me my kid needed glasses and her vision is like +3. They did eye tests for kids in preschool and daycare and never caught anything wrong. And all the while my poor kid went around looking at blurry things. The first thing she said when she tried on her new glasses "I can see the cracks in the pavement!" I wanted to slap myself so hard!

    I was teaching my daughter how to call for help when she was about 3 ½, and also my mom who lived a few blocks away. it was Christmas time, and she was really getting into it, with the Kris Kringle says to see if she was good. I was in the kitchen and went towards the bedroom, and overheard her chatting away. When I went in there, I realized she was on the phone, and asked who she was talking to? She said Santa, so I quickly took the receiver away and apologized. The gentleman on the phone was so kind, and said he was really enjoying the conversation, as they had no grandkids. She continued to call him several more times, and stayed in touch until we moved. I still have no idea who she was talking to!

    I did this when I was young too. Didn't know about area codes and dialed my grandma's number without it. A local Grandma answered and we had a nice chat about my Uncle Pete (she had a son with that name too) and my Uncle Bob (same) and my Uncle Jimmy (same) and then when I said Uncle Billy, she stopped and said, "I'm sorry, but what's your name again?" and that's when I found out she didn't have a daughter with my mom's name. But we had a laugh about it and when I called my real Grandma after, she said it was nice I had a new Grandma and giggled at me.

    Something similar happened to my dad one time. Back in the 1980's when he was younger (he's forgotten it now) he used to speak fluent Japanese. One time this Japanese grandma dialed his number by mistake, and out of habit from when he lived in Japan, my dad used a Japanese greeting to answer, and they ended up talking in Japanese for like 40 minutes, before finally my dad told her that she wasn't his relative, he could just speak Japanese.

    Back in the late 80's when I was a teenager, I had two girls open the rear door of my car while I was at a stop sign and told me to take them to a really bad area. I screamed at them to get the f*ck out of my car and they kicked it as I drove away. I had two of my girlfriends with me and they were paralyzed and saucer eyed as I yelled at those two bitches as I drove away. I was able to get the dent out with a plunger thankfully.

    Same thing happened to me too! A car that I thought was my neighbor who would pick me up stopped at the kerb and I just opened the door and got in. It was only when we were driving away and I looked to the guy who was supposed to be my neighbor, that I realized this was a total stranger. Why the guy did not say anything when I opened the door and got in is beyond me! I actually thought it was rather spooky.

    Oh my God. This reminds me of the one time I was walking into work, and this guy saw me and was like, "what's the with the puffs?" I had just gone up the stairs and my allergies were acting up, so I just replied, "idk, just out of shape, I guess." I was kind of confused why he'd even draw attention to my breathing. He gave me a funny look, and we went on our separate ways. Got to my desk and realized I was holding a box of Puffs brand tissues.

    My grandmother had pictures of me and my three cousins behind glass in a bookcase. She had pictures of other children in frames on the side table by her reading chair. I grew up thinking the kids by her chair were some sort of distant cousins. I was disappointed (but not that surprised) when I learned, about age 12, that they were the children of the woman she _wished_ had married her son. (She didn't like the woman my uncle married, and talked about this ex-girlfriend and her children with every visit, in addition to having their pictures by her chair. She didn't like my mother, either.)

    When my daughter was about three, she saw a manager at the grocery store standing on a stool to reach the shelves. The woman was a little bit less than a meter tall. My daughter blurted out "she's little!" I answered, "well, you're not too tall yourself!" The manager laughed out loud, then chuckled, as I explained to my daughter, while continuing to walk down the aisle, that people come in all shapes and sizes, but it might hurt their feelings if we talk about them out loud. I didn't want to embarrass the woman or my daughter by stopping and continuing a lesson between the two of them. That is why I kept walking.

    When I was 15 I went to the Pioneer Days festival, there was blue grass music, a horse, show, parade, etc. I had a terrible crush on one of the 'cowboys' who showed on our local circuit...I also had my first 2 Dixie cups of MD 20/20! So, walking around the town I saw my crush, Rick, walking towards me and my friend. We stopped and he said hi and I threw my(drunkforthefirsttime)self at him and planted a kiss on him. Omg...he says, Who is Rick? Talk about mortified. You can just imagine how I felt 2 hours later when I saw 'Rick' (different shirt, different friend) and, relieved, threw myself on him...and he says, "still not Rick". OMG. The shame!

    Before I got my glasses, I could see, but not too well. I was studying at the university and had a study date planned in the library with a class mate. Just as I went in through the doors, I could see her in the back, so I started to walk up to her like I was on a mission, just to realize, 1,5 meter from her, that it wasn't her when the girl sitting there looked up on me, wondering who was walking up to her. So I did a 90 degree turn just in front of her, like I actually had planned to go somewhere else, but it was probably too obvious.

Well I let go for a minute. Then I spotted my mom’s new black coat, and I took her hand, she didn’t say a word. We walked all over the place probably more than an hour. Then as we are walking, we ran into my mom ! The lady I was holding hands with was wearing the same coat ! I was horrified ! The lady never flinched or said a single word the whole time ! She just handed me over to my mother and kept on walking.

I grabbed her hand again and looked at her when I finished my sentence and I was holding a really tall mans hand and he looked at me really confused and started looking around. Turns out I was too excited and didn't walk as fast as my mom and the dude kept holding my hand cuz he thought I was his kid XD

    One time when I was around 10, I was food shopping with my dad at a big supermarket. The store had some melon samples, and I love food samples. I ate several pieces, but I thought that there was not much melon on each piece. Turns out that I had eaten the leftover samples, that people had discarded in a basket. The real (untouched) samples were in another basket. I never told my dad, I just hoped no one saw me and walked away as if nothing happened.

    After a funeral, in many cultures people have a meal at the home of the deceased, the home of another family member, or at the church or other religious building. Because the child had died, she was ordering a cake to be part of that after-funeral meal. I'm guessing the child died of an extended illness, as the mom had the composure to plan such a sweet remembrance.

    I did something similar - watched a scary movie and got thoroughly spooked out. Went upstairs and was shutting windows and drawing curtains then turned around and screamed at the man who had followed me upstairs. My poor husband assumed I screamed because there was someone behind him. He spun round on the spot and yelled at the same time. Clearly the movie had thoroughly spooked us both.

    I only realized couple of years ago that one of my relatives was an Xmas tree thief. He never bought Xmas trees and he always explained that it is just easier to go to some forest and cut your own tree. When I was a child I was once with him choosing the best tree. I asked why we went to that forest in the evening when it was dark because in the daylight it would have been much easier to see which tree looks the best. But he just replied that in the day time there was too many other people choosing their Xmas trees so he liked to go in the evening.

    I remember being with my folks at a farm stand when they picked some corn in a nearby farmer's field - turned out he wasn't affiliated with the farm stand! They paid him for the corn. I still remember the embarrassment.

    We sliced a block of butter up into thin slices to help it soften quicker. Laid them out on the plate like cheese and 3 of my kids came in at different times to steal a slice of cheese. I let them and watched with glee as they ate them and then looked weirdly back at the plate as they walked away. Not one of them figured it out till we sat down for dinner shortly after.

    Hahaha my friend did something like this at my house. We had those laughing cow wedges of cheese and she tried to butter her cornbread with it! She was so surprised that she threw the cheese at the wall, where it stuck. I left it there the rest of the day because Everytime I looked at it, we cracked up. Thought about framing it.

    My daughter was running circles around me when she was about 4. Her pigtails were flying as she ran as fast as she could. I reached out to grab one as she flew past to realize it wasn't her - she and another girl with pigtails were both running around me and I'd grabbed another kid's hair! No wonder she was so fast.

    Someone left a phone message on my sister's desk to call Myra Maines. When she returned the the call she asked for Myra Maines three times before the guy who answered said "You just don't get it, do you lady? This is a funeral home - Myra Maines - MY REMAINS!!" She was so embarrassed and vowed to get even with whoever put the message on her desk.

    My husband has the house decorated like a pub, with flags and such outside too. I'm waiting for the day a random person walks in on game day when crowds of friends are over. Fun part is, we actually made a friend this way - he tagged along with a group of his friends (or so he thought) and walked into our place, was offered free beer and burgers. He's been by a few times now alone and it took us all awhile to figure out who he was. He's a friend of a friend of a friend, so not a complete stranger, lol He's actually a great guy!

    I did this a lot at the mall when I was young. My parents would let me fall behind and when I'd run to catch up, I'd grab my mom/dad's hand only to realize they were standing to the side waiting for me and I'd grabbed some strangers' hands. Did it a lot. You'd think I'd learn to pay attention more, but I was panicking I'd been left behind, oops.

    After pondering about it for many years I finally piped up on a car trip and asked why Weighbridge was always closed, and how did that affect the people who lived there? I thought it was a suburb but it turns out it is a weighing station for trucks. I was late twenties then and my family still rib me every time we go past a weighbridge.
