Well. .. This is Embarrassing!
What's your most embarrassing moment? We asked some people what theirs was, and we got some interesting answers. Some funny, some sad, but all really embarrassing.
My most embarrassing moment was when I went in a stall in the bathroom and turned around to lock it before I realized someone was in there. 11
-Alexis Hartsgrove
11 As a teacher, my most embarrassing moment was when I woke up late. I can't just leave my students hanging! 11 , .

"I was running outside in 5th grade and there was this big bump and I tripped over it and fell. Everyone was crowding around me saying, "oh you need a doctor!" Then I got up and people were saying stuff like "Okay good, you're alright" But then they realized my foot was bleeding, so then they started freaking out again. It was so embarrassing."
-Rosanne Salomon
"It was when I was playing basketball in elementary school trying to impress these girls and slipped face first into the mud."
-Max Streckfuss
"My girlfriend (Denise) and I went to the movies one Friday evening. We both attended school and were looking forward to relaxing, getting away from work and spending time with each other. We paid and went into the theater to sit down. A few minutes later Denise asked me to buy popcorn and something to drink while she saved the seats. When I come back, the lights were low and the movie had started. When I got back to my seat I put the popcorn on her lap and put my arm around her. Once I did this I noticed the guy next to her leaning over toward me and saying, "I think you have your arm around my girlfriend!" As I looked, I noticed the girl next to me wasn't Denise but was one row higher! I slowly ducked out of my chair and moved up one row but not before a large section of people chuckling and smirking at my mistake. Even Denise!! How embarrassing!!"
