Situation Options: Choose one.
- "So there I was in tenth grade gym class at a new, huge school, doing sit-ups and a person I do not know at all is holding my feet down. As I come up to the top of a sit-up, I let an unexpected one loose. The girl/guy holding my feet let go as if I'd torched him/her with my fart; the class erupts into laughter. The gym teacher tries not to laugh while telling all of us: 'It's natural.'
- "One day in ninth grade, I was walking home and my friends who took the bus home from school yelled my name and waved out the window. I turned to look as I heard my crush’s voice. Then, I WALKED INTO A POLE! Everyone who was waving started laughing and I was sure my crush saw me ‘crash and burn’. Most embarrassing moment ever!”
- "Last year, during finals we were all taking the toughest test yet (insert class here). I was starving at we still had at least an hour until lunch. Suddenly my stomach let out the longest, lowest growl. Everyone laughed. (Insert teacher) quickly told us to quiet down and maintain a testing environment. From that point on, my stomach continued to voice its protest just about every ten minutes like a sad, strange alarm clock."
- "At the department story I really had to pee. Finally, I found one of those single-stall, unisex bathrooms. When I walked in, everything looked clean, but the smell was gnarly! I quickly did my business and rushed out of there, only to find a cute stranger waiting to be next, leaning against the wall. We exchanged awkward eye contact as s/he smelt the horrid aroma, assuming it was my fault. I was mortified."
- "Last week at the gym/practice I had to run several miles on the treadmill. Once second I was running, happily singing along to my favorite mix. The next minute, the machine seemed to unexpectedly speed up. Suddenly I was slammed against the hot, moving conveyor belt and swooped to the back wall in a heap feeling like I had taken a wild ride from some mix of Aladdin's magic carpet and a mechanical bull."
- "It was my first (insert meaningful even such as a job interview or date) and I had an unexpected attack of sneezes. I thought I had escaped embarrassment, but alas I looked down and noticed a lovely..and large booger that had landed right in the middle of my shirt."
- Your own most embarrassing or made up silly story… just make us laugh!
