I wrote down a gruesome song lyric and a mean girl looked at it and said I was writing death notes so I shouted : "JESUS F**KING CHRIST!! IT'S FROM A SONG YOU FAT B*TCH!!",the teaher was speechless.

I don't know if I can choose. I tende to make an idiot of myself a lot.

Hmm...probably my biggest one was when I was in junior high and people were throwing things at me. It happened everyday and I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and yelled at the class, and called them a bunch on inbreds. I was amused later, though, when they though inbred meant homosexual and they threatened to tattle on me.

One time I referred to a woman who had recently been left by her husband by his last name out of habit. I felt so bad, it was just a slip of the tongue. That's more recent, and I still burn every time I remember it.

So, so many. In primary a girl wrote a sentence that agreed with me in a group project so I kissed her on the cheek because that's what my friend did to me at home, I was a lesbian apparently
In secondary announcing "Man this is a boring load of tosh" during the girls conversation and going to the art block.
After leaving school saw those girls and they asked for my number, I said, "Sorry, are you sure, what would you do with it, I thought you didn't like me?" "Jenk we're you friends!!" Um, really, because I hadn't spoken to them in a good long while. Felt ridiculous afterwards.
Usually trip over myself and have had some colourful experiences with that, though the one to top all embarrassments... I scratched my knickers tag on the feild once and couldn't stop it was so itchy. people watching from the classrooms wrote "Jenkins fingers her bottom" on a peice of paper and my "Friends" laughed theirs off. Except one guy who stuck up for me and I liked ever since Because I am cool

I can't determine my dumbest moment, however I have a problem with laughing too much. Even if I don't find anything to be all that (or even at all) funny. Especially when I'm uncomfortable or nervous. It tends to make me look like a blubbering idiot.

I honestly just found the whole story intriguing, I don't admire or like him- talking about Charles Manson in public, now everyone thinks I like serial killers.

I was joking around at work with a friend and told her to f*** off, unbeknownst to me, a customer had come in the store and heard the whole thing, although, the lady was cool about it.

Way, way too many! Probably in 5th grade I had so many tantrums and always burst into tears in school, I was constantly sent to the hall. Even in 6th grade this happened a couple times. Or, the time I made a fool of myself in front of the guy I had a huge crush on in the seventh grade, he had a girlfriend, but I constantly followed him around and wrote him love poems. I had a picture of him named Paper Colin. I told everyone it was my husband.

I didn't recognize a sexual allusion and got, well, an awkward moment.

...yeah.

I have several moments of the top of my head, that I wish I could take back.

In elementary school a friend of mine had been tossed down the hill into a row of prickly bushes, and I and a number of kids were brought to the principles office as witnesses, and I had this thing about being really proud of not going there once in my time at school, and I thought I was in trouble, when the teacher started talking I began to laugh loudly, and the teachers were quite upset by that, nowadays this event doesn't bother me much at all, since I was just a small kid during the time.

It was getting dark and I was over to my grandfathers house with a lot of family as well, and I was swimming in the pool with my brother and cousins, well one of my female cousins and me got talking about how we always wondered what the other genders private parts look like, I don't have any idea what made me do it, but I showed her mine and she was quite shocked, even though she had said she had seen one before (I think she might have lied). Next I was interested in seeing hers (no clear idea of my age, but I was young maybe 10-11 and she was a few years younger) anyway by this time my cousins twin brothers had already got out of the pool and had gone to tell there parents, I ended up not being able to see anything, because of the darkness of the water and the bathing suit she had which was on pretty tight. So I was really really embarrassed on the car ride home, I bagged my family to forget about it, and I was told that my aunt and uncle might want to talk to me, but thank god they never did.

I was up at my aunt and uncles house (not the same ones from the previous paragraph) And I was looking through an old year book with my uncle and he told me to guess which student in the class was his mother, and I thought I knew but I didn't say, and he pointed to the one I thought it had been, and out of the strangeness of my mind I decided to say "That is the one I thought, because she looks weird like you", yeah I was quite embarrassed by that.

Recently I was in a clothes shop with a friend I hadn't seen for quite a while. We were talking about some of the clothes which were horrible and I said that I hated 'those tops which make you look pregnant. They're really fashionable, but they look silly. The best description I've heard of them is "tit curtains" they do kind of look like that'.

In that second, something occurred to me. I looked at her. S**t. How was I supposed to have noticed she was wearing one herself?!

Actually hers didn't look that bad.

Thankfully, I don't think she knew what I was talking about. Either that or she was too hurt or too polite to protest. I still feel really bad about it

There was this one girl in my class (from 3rd to 9th grade) who had had a crush on me from probably 5th grade (meaning 11 years old). I determined it by retroactively analyzing my previous encounter with her in 5th grade. It involved her coming up with a really long compound word, and I thought it was cool. My memory is quite fuzzy, but I remember her blushing a LOT when I talked with her. I didn't think that her blushing meant anything at that time, but after the event I'm about to describe, my perspective was changed quite radically.

In 7th or 8th grade (meaning 13-14 years old), she clearly but without using words, started to express interest in a romantic relationship with me. I hadn't talked with her since 5th grade. I had an extremely difficult time responding at all, I had no idea how I should respond. I didn't have any friends, so I couldn't have asked them for help either.

In our Swedish class, the teacher had a habit of forming random pairs of students and they would do exercises together. So, as you can probably guess, one time I and her were selected as a pair. Except that it was a disaster. I couldn't even look at her eyes, because I felt that if I did that, I would totally freak out. I remember practically looking at the floor the whole time.

It all culminated in a music class. The teacher gave some A4 note sheets (probably a song) to the class, and the girl took two of them, and gave me one. That is like the most obvious thing you can do to get one's attention without using words. Skipping to the end of the class, we were supposed to give the sheets back to the teacher. So I went, and with the corner of my eye saw the girl looking at me and reaching out with her hand with her sheet. I KNEW I should take hers too and bring it back to the teacher too. But I totally locked up. I ended up just bringing my copy to the teacher and getting out of the class as fast as possible. I remember her calling out for a friend of hers with a genuinely sad voice.

I felt like s**t after it, and I still do, years after. I genuinely hope I didn't traumatize her or anything. I think she seemed like a genuinely nice person. I saw her at the same high school I went to, but we didn't share any words. Not even a quick glance.

My gosh, THERE'S BEEN SO MANY!

this is so funny.
