Hey Pandas, Can You Tell Me About The Most Embarrassing Thing You’ve Ever Accidentally Done? (Closed)

It was me. I invented the F word when I was 6. My mother usually said oh fudge or shucks so I made it into one word and was able to use it a family get together. Everyone froze and looked at me. My sisters and cousin were told to take me into the bedroom to talk to me about it. My cousin asked Where did you learn that word?" "what word?" I asked, so she wrote it on paper. (now I knew how to spell it). They didn't tell me what it meant but told me it was a very bad word and to never use it again. If I had a nickel for every time I used it since, I would consider Elon Musk a pauper

I was mentoring a little kid through Big Brothers /Big Sisters. I took her to the bookstore for an outing and found a book with ideas for sidewalk drawing with chalk. I said," Hey, what about this? We could go down to the school and do some drawings" And she says, " I'd love to, but I'm having lunch with a friend". I look up, and it is a complete stranger I was inviting to do chalk drawing. My kid was at the end of the aisle, looking mortified in that way that kids do when adults do something like this.

My first time in a professional recording studio I was (unwisely) making a comment to the guy next to me. I didn't realize the mics were on. He leaned over and said very quietly, "they just heard every word you said in the control booth." First lesson about recording studio learned. Always keep your big mouth shut.

Context: I was on my mount and I had been slapped by a couple of tree branches so my eyes were sore and I couldn’t see well

I pet a bush thinking it was my pony and my friend thought I was hallucinating

Side note: this was a week ago

I had a crush on a guy in my early 20’s at uni. He was from a different country and his English at the time wasn’t great. So me being all friendly and wanting to make a good impression tried to learn from a mutual friend how to say “hello” (I think- this was 20years avo) in his language/dialect (a Chinese dialect), so anyway fast forward a week and I’m at his house with 2 friends (also Chinese) and my crush walks in……. So I smile and say “Gum Xia” or something andddddddddd he looks shocked then laughs, and my friend laughs…………. Turns out that I used the wrong tone AND slightly wrong word (think “Gum Xiiao” instead of “Gum Xia”)
And what I ACTUALLY said translates to either “Lick Sh*t” or “Eat Sp3rm”……… either one, NOT something I wanted to say to my crush!

I (adult(ish) male) saw my friend Danielle at the cashpoint (atm) on my lunch break. Joking went up behind her and poked her in the ribs saying "you're money your life".

It was not my friend Danielle, but a blond girl who looked a bit like her. Absolutely mortified! She was amazingly ok with it/

1. Sharted at a party. Everyone noticed. Had to go rinse. Was an adult. 2. Peed myself in class as a kid. I think everyone noticed but was too mortified to say anything.

As a young teen, I was in a riding accident and was knocked unconscious. I woke in a stranger's car, bleeding, groggy, and definitely confused. The driver, very kindly introduced himself and told me he was taking me to the doctor's. To this day, I am uncertain if my mouth betrayed me or if I just thought it, but my immediate response was, "You're not very attractive for a knight in shining armor." If it was aloud, I apologize, kind stranger.

sure can! fell and hurt my knee, got crutches. on the way home from the ER, stopped to get gas. noticed the guy next to me at the next pump was also on crutches, so i jokingly asked him what HE had done. ummmm, he laughed and said, oh i had cancer! i then actually LOOKED at him, and he was missing a leg!!! OMG my face turned beet red, and i started stuttering apologies....He laughed and said it's ok, it's been years now, happens all the time......what a guy!!

Bought Tums thinking they were candy. Brought them home and with a dramatic flourish said "i can't wait to try them! I've heard they're really good!" Everyone erupted in laughter and my big sister had to tell me what they actually are.

I uhhh tried microwaving a breadroll that caught on fire
It traumatised my mum :D

Stepped on a broken glass bottle while running around barefoot in long grass. My dad drove me to like 3 different hospitals because they were full or had lots of people but at least it was free health care :,D. Still have a scar about the size of a 50¢ coin even after about 8 years. Could’ve been worse!

Years ago, when i was in my early 20s, my partner, his sister and I were hanging out together. Info: I am a very strict unbeliever.

We were talking about stupid people when I started telling this story about a girl who had told me she would never risk her important wishes on an eyelash for fear of it might not become true. I insulted her critical thinking skills and called her an idiot.

My partner's sister smiled shyly, told me she did the same.

I was mortified. Needless to say, I just listen when people talk about this stuff now, and I never insult anyone's silly little superstitions any more (well, not in public)

These happened to my friend in grade school. We were out at recess during the end of the year, it was scorching hot and everyone was huddled in their seperate friend groups under the shaded trees at the end of the soccer field. She had had enough of the heat, and marched over too the glass doors that let us in to the gym. It was about 3:45, and the cool science teacher was coming back to let us inside. It was at this moment that she pushed against the doors so hard that she broke one of the glass paines right in front of the science teacher's eyes.

TLDR: My friend broke my school's glass doors because she hated the heat.

Last month at my d&d group, I mispronounced stats as shats. I was mortified.
Luckily only a few people heard me.

It was my first week working at a Jewish institution, and I'm not Jewish. I was put on clean-up duty for the breakroom- a job that got rotated out by everyone who worked there- but I did it my first week as a kind of new-employee-friendly-hazing, but I'm sure they regret that now because of what I'm about to say. In fact, I think they changed that new employee 'policy' because of me. :|

So, the first week I was there, there was a Jewish celebration for which everyone brought in dishes from home. I understood kashrut (keeping kosher) to a point, but not being Jewish, that point wasn't very deep. So that afternoon when I walked in and saw everyone's dirty dishes from the event, I was a little annoyed, because doing people's personal dishes was actually above-and-beyond what I was expected to do, but I cleaned the dishes anyway all in the one breakroom sink- which I later found out is a huge kosher no-no. :0

But the next break time that rolled around, everyone in the building came down and hugged me (back when you could!) and never breathed a nasty word to me, in fact, they were always really good-natured with me after that... and so I was well-known in the building from my first week on... for essentially destroying everyone's dishes!

Apparently, I was just supposed to clean AROUND the dishes and leave my colleagues to take their dirty dishes home to clean their way in their own kosher kitchens.

1) some idiot in my class asked me out for another dude who CLEARLY didn’t want to date me for the rest of the day(it was the last day of 6th grade) and the idiot was not taking no for an answer. I told him I was gay so that he would shut up(I’m pan). That lead to idiot #1 to say “oh no wonder you’ve been dropping hints all year” and idiot #2 to say “oh so you’re trans?”😳

2)I just insulted someone after them being rude to me, something along the lines of “you’re so stupid even Texas wouldn’t give you a gun” walked away confidently,saw that BOTH my bright pink bra straps were showing (i was wearing a orange shirt so it looked stupid) and tripped

This is so embarrassing that I still remember this. When I was around 9, part of my house was being remodeled and it was in the early stages of building, so I didn't know what it would look like for me during the construction. The construction workers had to go inside the house, and I had no idea, no one told me.

Woke up one morning and was in my pajamas with really bad bedhead and opened my door. A construction worker was standing right there and saw me. I was MORTIFIED. I was really insecure back then, so my insecurity made everything worse. Through my eyes, it looked like a random stranger had invaded my privacy and was in my house.
No one ever told me until it was too late.

I was going out to a baby shower so I wore a nice skirt with a matching jacket etc. It was cold so I had pantyhose on. I had bad static so I put on a slip to stop the clinging of my skirt to my legs. I walked up the hill and heard a strange sound and something became a bit more comfortable around my waste but I didn’t recognise what. I stopped at the lights. Traffic. As I was waiting it didn’t notice that my slip had fallen down to my ankles so I was effectively hobbled. I stepped out to cross at the lights and went face first into the road. Thankfully being so clumsy I fell well and didn’t injure myself. A car pulled up yes of young men who beeped their horn and clapped and laughed at me while I was wiggling out of my slip as I lay on the road. A man in the car behind them got out to help me not realising that it was malfunctioning underwear at fault so I had to wave him away as the young men in the car hooted and hollered some more. I was embarrassed but even more so for him. Poor man he realised what had happened, red faced he slunk back to his car. By that time I’d managed to get the blasted thing off from around my ankles so I could cross the road to walk out into the island crossing where I was acclaimed for my entertainment in the middle of the intersection. People waved as they turned in front of me and whistled and cat called so all I could do was to do an elaborate bow. I finally managed to cross rest of the road a find a taxi and make it to my destination. I told the baby shower what had happened and all of the party were in tears. The waiters joined in and yes I help up the offending article as proof.

Added THE MOST ANNOYING person to a group chat.🙄 I felt bad for her (nobody else likes her) and I added her to the chat. The embarrassing part is ALMOST EVERYONE started talking about how ANNOYING she is...they didn't know I added her 😬
