When I was in second or third grade, we had snack time. The carrot I was eating fell on my desk, so I went to wash it off in the classroom sink. The moment I turned the handle on the faucet to turn it on, the entire faucet head literally popped off, hit the ceiling, and water started spewing out of the pipes. The entire floor around the sink flooded. I tried to get away before I got completely wet, but then I slipped in the water and fell flat on my back. Everyone was staring at me laying there on the floor, completely soaked.
Waiting tables in a private country club on a busy Friday night and was seated a large party of 20 people. Since it is a private club and had had been there a few months had seen many of the people before. So I was confused when everyone was really quiet and no one was talking to each other. And I being the happy guy says out loud. Hey everyone life is good did somebody die? Old guy to my left - says yes my wife.
Shriveled inside.
One summer when I was 8 or 9, I was at a taekwondo summer camp. One of our warm up activities was to complete an obstacle course, which was timed. Once it was my turn, I ran through the obstacle course because I was trying to get the fastest time out of all the class. About halfway through the class, I fell and my ankle twisted in a really weird way. I let out the loudest, most pitiful scream and everyone stared. I was crying and screaming so loudly that someone eventually had to pull me out of the obstacle course.
I have horrible stage fright and I got into the school spelling bee, which was in front of the entire middle school. The first words are super easy and I was the one to get out first. the word was “nook” and in my panic i forgot to add the second “O”. i nearly died of embarrassment
Well when I was younger, we had some family over and naturally, we went to church with them. So my parents were sitting one the far left side, my bro and cousins were in the middle and I was at the edge, with my aunt and uncle. Now there was a part where we could comment. The question was (in Spanish though): how do the workbooks help us? So my comment was split up-the first part “the workbooks” was towards the top and the rest was at the bottom. So (my other uncle) asks the question and I raise my hand and he picks me. The mic comes and I go “the workbooks”. That’s it. That’s all I said. My aunt even tried to help me, but I ignored her. Then my uncle (the one asking the question) stares me dead in the eye for a solid 10 seconds. It was horrendous! We still don’t talk about it now in days :/
More than 20 years ago I was in another country with a friend. Away from the tourists, like in the outback.
One day we went by bus. Already at the bus stop and also on the bus we noticed a man who obviously kept staring at us and wanted to be close to us. We found that uncomfortable. And we, two young people, were also a bit scared. In order to cover up the unacceptable situation for us, we made fun of the man in “our” national language.
I'll keep it short and tell you enough by saying that I ended up saying, "If only he were pretty."
At the next stop, the man got off the bus and said, "Have a nice trip and have a nice time."
He said it perfectly in our national language.
