I KNOW you farted!
It smells just like yours!'
Needless to say, I was mortified."
We recentlycoveredaReddit threadabout people’s embarrassing encounters.
We also received a ton of BuzzFeed users' embarrassing stories, which inspiredthis post.
We then got even more hysterical and cringeworthy stories from users that we couldn’t resist sharing.
So, kindly enjoy even more embarrassing content:
1.
“I was on a lunch date with a guy I’d been seeing casually during work hours.
I was wearing a white button-up and a pencil skirt.
The area we ate in had a small step down as you left.
I forgot about it and tripped but kept it together for a few steps.
Diners, servers, my date, and managers all came running to see if I was okay.
I just ran away as fast as possible, yelling, ‘I’m fine!’
I called out for the rest of the day.
I never did get the stains out of that shirt, lol.”

“I was helping a teen boy find a book in the library where I worked.
He tried to avoid stepping on it but wasn’t quick enough.
I’m sure he’s still in therapy.”

3.“Omg.
I received a back massage at the spa and had a blowout on the table.
I can never show my face there again.
I have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, so I cannot ever know if or when this will occur.”

I had to pass gas as we headed down an empty aisle (no other shoppers).
I passed it silently and continued walking through the aisle.
I quickly realized I needed to return to the aisle I’d just left to pick up an item.
Several women had entered that aisle with their shopping carts by this point.
Halfway into the aisle, the 5-year-old sits up, sniffs the ambient air, and shouts, ‘Dad?
I shushed him and quietly told him it wasn’t me.
I KNOW you farted!
It smells just like yours!’
Needless to say, I was mortified.
I couldn’t make eye contact with the women in that aisle.
I quickly headed to the checkout stands!"
“I had a blind date, and we decided to meet at a restaurant.
We got there, said our pleasantries, then sat down for lunch.
I said something like, ‘I can’t take them anywhere.’
That was our only date.”
“Years ago, my husband and I stopped at a gas station for coffee.
I still die inside when I think of it.”

“I was the world’s worst waitress, and I think these are my top three worst moments.
I don’t think I’ve ever apologized profusely in my life!
Second, I was carrying two bowls of soup on a silver tray.
I was so paranoid about spilling the soup that I was just staring at the bowls.
Luckily, none of the customers were hit, but they were howling at my incredible clumsiness.
How I was never fired is beyond me.
I think they kept me around for the comedy value.”

He returned shortly, dragging 75 to 100 feet of toilet paper hooked into his trousers.
Our friends and I couldn’t control our laughter, which he didn’t understand.
When he realized what had happened, he was mortified."
The stench was awful, so seven of us said no thank you.
However, my husband, whose sense of smell must have been damaged, eagerly took a piece.

“I was working for a doctor on a day when he didn’t have office hours.
The job was beyond my knowledge, so things were tense.
At the time, I was dating a guy, and answering machines were just starting to be used.
I thought I erased it after playback, but I hadn’t.
A patient called that evening with an emergency and got that message instead of the doctor’s name.
I felt so humiliated for being childish.”
We stood there confused for a few seconds, and then I fled.
It took me a long time to find the courage to get my teeth checked again."

Just as I passed behind him, his hand flung back, and his finger WENT UP MY NOSE.
We locked eyes, and he looked horrified as he realized what had happened.
I’m a full-grown adult and still get secondhand embarrassment for my middle school self."
“I was at a bar with a dance floor with colleagues for someone’s birthday.
It’s fairly popular and gets crowded on weekends by people of all ages, mostly college/university students.
This cute guy was chatting me up and excused himself to use the bathroom.
A few minutes later, he pointed out the ‘couple.’
It was one of my bosses and a colleague.
There are 30 years between them, and he’s married to someone else.
I introduced them and told him that he was my boss.
The cute guy got really uncomfortable and walked away from me.”

Her son greeted me at the door.
Behind him, his mom casually exited from the bathroom, which was in front of the door.
She had just showered and did not know the front door was open.
I saw WAY more of her than I expected.
She was very red in the face."

I finished early, returned to my desk, and put my head down.
I fell asleep and woke myself up with a fart.
In a silent class.
And I woke myself up with it!
I sat up as soon as I farted, which made people giggle even more.
So that’s a fun memory."

Big surprise: It was a total stranger.
Not all was lost.
“I was at work and had bought these new protein chips to try.
They were supposed to taste like Nacho Cheese Doritos.
I ate them and went about my day.
I talked to our flower vendor in the office for a bit.
I am pale, and it was VERY noticeable.
A few days later, I politely confronted the flower vendor.
He said he noticed but thought I was doing something new with my makeup.”

“I worked at a car dealership for six years and had a pretty good clientele.
I had sold this particular family two vehicles so far.
She looked at me and said, ‘It’s a prosthetic.’
I just wanted to get in one of our cars and drive away as fast as possible.
I did make the sale, though.”
He stared at me as if I was bonkers.
The client wanted a poll, not a pole.

She pulled into a parking spot right in front of the front doors.
I nearly brought him down with me.
Despite having a front-row view of this debacle, my mom missed it entirely."
“My sister and I were different sizes in college.
My younger sister wore a large.
I wore a small.
My mom gave us identical packs of panties for Christmas in our respective sizes.
One day, I was walking across my college campus in the cutest sundress.
It was in between classes, so the sidewalks were busy.
All of a sudden, my panties dropped to the ground.
I had evidently, in a rush, grabbed my younger sister’s panties.
I tried to hop/scoot behind a bush to remove them completely, but they wrapped around my ankles.
Everyone was in stitches!”
“When my kids were little, we liked to take car trips to various destinations.
My youngest son once had to pee (he was about 5).
We were stuck in traffic, and we couldn’t move.
Well, we finally got off the freeway and stopped at a restaurant.
To this day, we still say that as a family as we enter a restaurant.”
I told them another waitress would be with them shortly.
Went in the bathroom and died."
I really couldn’t afford to miss it, so I headed to the government agency.
“I was in college and wore a dress to school.
I was working in the library during a class and got up for a potty break.
As I walk past people, I hear whispers and giggles.
I literally ran out the door.
The next day, I ditched class.
I didn’t use that backpack for the rest of the semester.
I gave new meaning to Victoria’s Secret!”
25.And: “My mother-in-law wants and solicits all the attention from everyone wherever she goes.
Unfortunately, she can’t drive anymore, so my job was to take her grocery shopping one day.
She noticed that her loud talking and negative remarks about this particular store were going unnoticed by other shoppers.
I could see her blood boiling as she yelled over to the pharmacist that she needed his help.
She screamed at him that she needed something for her ‘VAGINITIS,’ clarifying it was ‘VAGINAL ITCH!’
“She just stood there complaining loudly, including the words ‘VAGINAL ITCH’ about a zillion times.
Of course, we continued to shop, and I walked shamefully to the checkout.
I never went back to that market.”
