The prime time for memories of embarrassing things you said or did to come is when your brain is shutting down and you are trying to fall asleep. At this point, not only can you not sleep, but you contemplate if it’s worth talking to people anymore and you try to calm yourself down by telling yourself that nobody even remembers what you said or did and it’s only a big deal for you.
In most cases, others really don’t care if you messed up or have been a bit awkward, but there are times when they really can’t forget. At least these women on Reddit can’t forget how men told them something embarrassing or even inappropriate.

My manager looked at me and said with all of my male coworkers in the room, "I hope I can try you out in bed. You must be a freak."
I reported him and he was terminated.

My brother and I was in a car accident. The other drivers fault. It's kinda easy to see that my brother and I are siblings we keep out of eachothers space. Like we sit on opposite sides of a row of seats. They sued the insurance company and we had to go testify in court. The guy said loudly infront of the judge and lawyers that ofcourse I'd lie for my boyfriend I f**k him. The guys lawyer told him in not so quiet voice that we are siblings. He turned beet red and lost the case since the evidence clearly showed he was at fault. I had to wait till we left the court to laugh my a*s off.

The guy who took my virginity told me that I was “scientifically altered” because he was my first and that my mind “had been rewired to be attached to him” and that’s why he wanted to break up.
I said , “sure thing”

“I only like vulnerable girls. I want a girl who is reliant on me and will just cry on my shoulder.” That freaked me out, especially since I had mental health issues when we first started dating. Guess the mental state of his next girlfriend

I was at church with my Dad and one of the old men came up. He pointed at me then looked at my Dad and said "I see you've brought your concubine with you."
This was after he had smacked my butt with a rolled up newspaper
I never went back there again

I was 19, married, pregnant with my second son, and working waiting tables and a guy that was sometimes a customer and sometimes a coworker told me I was obviously legal enough to not get him in trouble and looked young enough to please the “lover of young girls in him”…. Like what the actual f**k…

"YOU'RE JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS... YOU TAKE MY PANCAKES AND LEAVE!!!!"
This was after he fought me for the bill despite the fact that I insisted on paying for myself and then I declined an offer for a second date.
He also said that he was so glad I wore a dress to the date because he thought that women who wear pants and don't have soft skin are overbearing feminists and he could not date someone like that. ANYWAY... I think you might see why I ended that fast.

After a date he asked “could I use your card and pretend it’s mine… I left mine at home and don’t want to look like a loser” I laughed because I thought it was some kind of weird joke but nope. He was 100% serious. We did not have a second date

What's wrong with your face?
I was working at the time as a customer service representative, so I couldn't respond without repercussions. He was referring to my freckles. Apparently he'd never seen a ginger before.
