Just had a job interview where the interviewer was South Asian with an accent.

Now, I didn't initially assume he was Indian, just that he was some sort of South Asian-American, but when he said he went to the University of Udaipur and he spoke 3 languages I associated with India, I just assumed he was from India 🫩 so I asked him when he moved from India...

He very sternly told me he was NOT Indian 😭 I told him I only thought he was because of the university and languages and he said regardless he wasn't Indian 💀 Im genuinely so sorry 😭

Anyways turns out he said he went to the University of Illinois (there was an ending part to this schools name but I lowkey still could not understand what they were saying 😔)

My only saving grace right now is that he was an immigrant.... from Pakistan 😭 I don't even want to think about how awful it would've been if he was full on American 😬 would've turned into a "Where are you really from? 🤔" coversation real quick

I don't think I'm getting the job (understandably) but now I have to reevaluate to see if this embarrassment was caused by preconceived biases 🙁 on the bright side I learned something new about Pakistan! 😭

TLDR : Insulted my interviewer by assuming his nationality based off terribly interpreted context clues 😭

Please press F in chat and call me a POS, I feel like I definitely deserve it right now 🫩 also I'm sorry to any Pakistanis that I insulted.

title explains it I guess

haven’t gotten my license yet so I’m finally getting onto it - im 17 it’s my final drive time before I can take my test. drive to the school and oops. forgot my glasses. could’ve lied and said I wear contacts. I don’t. didn’t say that. don’t know why. power of honesty I guess

i get 15min of allowed delay time. we don’t live that far away. it’s like a 12 min drive so like 6 minutes there and back. was gonna have my mom grab them. confident it would not have taken longer than 15minutes. instructor said “sorry no you can’t do that” so now i have to reschedule. maybe misunderstanding here. i don’t know

i say ok.

instructor keeps trying to make small talk while i wait for my ride. tells me “sorry i always feel bad doing it” 5 times. i dont know what to say so i just ignore her. i think instructor can tell im upset so she says im gonna move my car and walks away from me

get home
school charges me the most preventable $40 in my 17 years of life

my brother accidentally caught me masturbate multiple times, aggressively tripped over a step a lot in front people, my mom yelled at me while there's people around, would argue with some old bitch of a customer while running my mom's store for her, got into jobs and did stupid shits too much that just wanted to quit as soon as possible.

not to be a fortune teller, but I can already see those moments repeating in the future. If I get a job, I might as well prepare myself for those crappy moments because I’m sure they’ll happen.

You might say that’s normal, but I’ve been around my friends and from what I see, they haven’t had as hard a time as me. It feels kind of wrong to say that since I’m not with them 24/7, so I can’t be so sure about that, but really tho, they don’t seem to have as many of those moments like me. Maybe I’m just the weird kid and they’re the popular ones.

is anyone have a cure for this, by any mean, get rid of those shitty moments, or like some advices or smth.

He likes someone else too and I saw him flirting with another girl on his lives. I just hate how I feel so strongly about it even though it was never going to work out.

Was going to close the window behind the toilet and it just slipped. Freaking disgusted with myself.

This happened today... so I had just gotten off the phone with my wife early this morning, and went, "love you babe" before hanging up. Well... my boss called me to remind me about the safety meeting, and when I went to hang up, I said, out of habit because I just spoke with my wife, "love you babe."

I immediately realized what I just said after a long silence and accidentally went "oh ****ing hell..." and hung up. I was dreading going to work because I was fully expecting a reprimand or an HR incident. Instead, when I arrived, I was greeted by my boss holding flowers and wearing lipstick... he told EVERYONE and they all played along.

He jumped from his desk and loudly proclaims "I ****ING LOVE YOU TOO BABE!!! COME GIVE ME SOME SUGAR!! THIS IS WHAT WORLPLACE TEAMWORK IS ALL ABOUT! LOVE THY COWORKER AND LOVE THY BOSS!!!" Meanwhile im just sitting there dying, everyone is red in the face laughing their a**es off...

Jesus CHRIST I never laughed so freaking hard, I damn near crapped myself!

Today I fell down in front of my manager and 4 other people. I was wearing my new platform sandals that I bought last week and I was very happy about it. I don't know what happened but I tripped, lost my balance and collapsed. People were nice and tried to help me but I can't stop replaying that moment in my head. I'm so so embarrassed 😓😓😓😓

So me,my mum and step dad had a few drinks… we all got on the karaoke and for some stupid reason I thought id do Captain Hook by Megan thee stallion…… that’s all I need to say

Just today morning I was taking my clothes off in the male change room, ready to take a shower at the gym. Unbeknownst to me, every morning, the reception person opens the door to the spa in the male changeroom. Today, the reception person happened to be a young, good looking red haired woman around my age (early 20s).

The problem is the spa has a glass door. The reception lady opened it a bit and immediately caught a full frontal view of me naked just as I was undressed and putting my clothes in the locker. We were both really embarrassed and rather than opening it fully, she just closed it and quickly went back out. It may not sound so bad but trust me, she was embarrassed and I was probably more embarrassed.

I think what made it really embarrassing was the fact that we are both in our early 20s and she had such a huge reaction to it. I think if it was someone older they might have just brushed it off.

When I saw her at the reception as I was leaving we both just looked down as I exited.

Don't read if you are about to eat, eating, or just ate.

I just want to get this off my chest. It's still haunting me. And probably will for a long time. Friday morning I got up around 8am, made instant oatmeal, added raspberries, added some granola, mixed everything in the bowl, and it was delicious. Drank black tea and chilled afterwards. I had an important meeting at work starting at noon. Shortly after eating I got medium stomach pain and light diarrhea. Pain went away quickly but I kept going to the bathroom every 10 - 15 minutes. It was already 10 and I had to leave at 10:20 to make it to the office. I was worried about going because I use public transit. And it's hard to find a bathroom along the way. I decided to go and hoped everything would be ok. It was too late to call sick. As I was approaching my station around 11:30 I got this sudden urge to sh*t. I ran to the front door, through security, and up the elevator. As I was approaching my floor, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I literally sh*t in my boxers as the doors opened. And my supervisor was standing with his phone in the short hallway I had to walk through to get to the bathroom. He said "Hi" as I walked past him. I'm absolutely positive that he could smell it. I ended up throwing my boxers into the trash because they were full of sh*t. Luckily my jeans were clean and smelled fine. I cleaned myself and went to the meeting. I'm afraid of going back to work and seeing him again. I can't resign because I love my job and the money is great. Ugh. Worst thing that's ever happened to me at work.

I’m not kidding. I had to take a 💩 aaaaand guess what happened while I did it at work??? I ran out of toilet paper with it already stuck halfway lmAo. So yeah, I tried getting paper towels and after it coming out twice, it wouldn’t come out anymore. Nothing else to wipe with. So I was in there internally panicking before I used what I found in my pocket. I’m pretty sure it is not enough and I CAN’T WAIT TO GET HOME. This is a real nightmare I should’ve held my dump but it was ready to pop. 2 more hours and I want to k m s

So i was on a school trip with like 3 other classes and we visited this historic site. We were walking towards the entrance and i noticed a girl my age with purple hair walking out. i also had purple hair but mine was so faded that it looked more like red than purple and overall my hair was nothing special. so i was looking at this girl and she looked at me but im pretty sure she looked away then and and she was far away so she yelled "i like your hair!" and my dumb ass thought it was directed at me but looking back I'm 99,9% sure it was directed towards someone else. and of course i had to be loud about it and i yelled a compliment back, in front of 3 other classes.

I did the most embarrassing thing ever at the movies last night, it was a packed theater (the odyssey 10/10 recommend) so there was a lady next to me, and at some point during the movie, I just reached for the cup next to me and took a sip and realized it was not my drink. 😭😭😭😭😭

I know the lady saw me even though she acted like she didn’t, but then she whispered to her husband and he looked over at me and I just wanted to DIE.

So this story was about a few months ago, maybe late april or early may.

I was at the soccer/football field with my 2 buddies, it wasnt really packed but there was 4-5 more people at the other end, mostly girls. There is this small fence across the entire field and you have to jump it to get across.

So. We did what we always do, we jumped the damn fence, but I didn't know that the fence had a open screw, my back pocket got stuck on the fence mid jump, i felt a jerk and i was pinned by the screw and heard a loud popping sound of fabric, the worst sound to hear, and this wasnt a small hole, this was atleast 6 or more inches wide and like 9 inches long, HUGE is what im saying, and we laughed it off, i had extra pants at home but how the hell do i get home with RIPPED pants and i was bummed because they were my favourite pair, but we laughed it off, i made jokes about it.

it was embarrasing, i used a shirt to cover it and we played from 5Pm to 11PM, so we still played our fair share and went home after, changed clothes but we have been laughing about it ever since.

[Tried posting this to TrueOffMyChest but it was removed for some reason? So I’m trying it here. Probably a more fitting subreddit to be honest!

Not sure if this is NSFW? Just in case: mentions of alcohol use, intoxication, (silly) sexual behaviour.]

This happened a few months ago, but it’s been haunting me with embarrassment ever since and I feel like I need it off my chest. (Part of me hopes no-one will read this… oh dear…)

So, it was my friend’s 18th and she wanted to go clubbing for the first time - just a hangout with friends. I’m about half a year older, I’d never been clubbing before (not really my scene) so I thought I’d give it a try with her. Partly out of curiosity, mostly just to support her on her big birthday.

Long story short, the first club was very crowded and loud, we were packed like sardines, and I was feeling socially awkward because I’d had a few drinks but not enough to really get out of my own head. So, in my great logic, I consumed too much more in a short time - and I went from ‘barely tipsy’ to ‘almost incoherent’ with zero warning in between.

I was in that space where you’re just on the cusp of being so drunk that you don’t know what’s going on, but barely coherent enough that I still had conscious control over my actions. It never got to the point of a blackout, so I remember everything and I don’t have gaps in my memory (which is even worse… wow do I wish I could forget LOL).

We were in this first club in the corner by the toilets, and I really gravitated to this middle-age (maybe 40/50YO) man. I kept sticking by him, and at some point it regressed to flirting and said that he could ‘touch me if he wanted’… Yikes.

Then I went for a walk around the block, alone (mind you it was at like 2AM). I couldn’t tell if I was in a dream or not, I was so drunk, and I was talking to myself. I had to convince myself to go back before I’d get told off; I didn’t want to be flagged as drunk by my friends for doing something so clearly unsafe, so I was trying to be surreptitious (though it was probably easy to tell that I was drunk in hindsight).

After that, we went to another club and that’s when the alcohol really kicked in. I was dancing like a fucking idiot with some lads around my age, holding hands and jumping up and down and stuff. I’m pretty sure they were making fun of me whilst doing it, but obviously in that state I couldn’t tell.

At one point I went into the middle of the dance floor when Timberlake’s ‘SexyBack’ was playing (yes, really) and I did this weird thrusting and stripping routine. For five minutes. I was on my knees, trying to do this sexy dance show of grinding and taking my shirt on and off. (I was wearing a vest beneath so I never actually stripped, luckily.)

I was so drunk, I didn’t know if it was really happening or if I was actually a professional rockstar on a stage, or if I was watching a music video. I was kinda lapsing in and out of awareness for a while, flitting between imagination and reality.

The worst part is that I’m a complete ugly chud. So I was doing this whole drunk sexy routine and it did NOT work, like Tragic Mike. It’s just embarrassing.

And my high school bully was also there.

I remember seeing her there and saying hi, but even I knew at that point that I was barely on planet Earth when we spoke. I’m not glad whatsoever that she and my friends were all in that same club when I turned into a prat… I’ll never know if they saw me or not so I’ll just have to pray that they didn’t.

After that, I landed back on Earth, ordered myself some water and soon excused myself to go home, and it was pretty normal from that point.

But still…

I know that everyone probably has a drunken idiot story, but this felt like a helluva doozy. Every time it pops back into my head, I cringe so hard.

I don’t think I can ever go back there…

Anyway… I just hope that finally getting it off my chest will give me some solace. At least no-one got hurt and I wasn’t nasty or anything… small mercies.

Was out sagging and decided to jump a fence for the hell of it, my underwear got stuck and I ended up in a massive wedgie with my boxers torn. Two Australian guys came along and had to lift me off after the had a good laugh at my expense!

I’m on holiday and every pub/bar/restaurant we’ve been to has had a tab. We just got to this bar and I tried walking away (to my table) without paying….. i feel like an arsehole

for context, i am a 17F American. I was in Germany on a school trip and was in a public bathroom. there was this little girl about seven all by herself trying to reach the soap and there was no stool like I‘m used to in the bathroom. I grabbed some and swiped it on her hands, no parent in sight btw. (they were prob in the bathroom) I kept the water running for her too. unfortunately, Germany likes to be modern at all the wrong times, so the drying machine was one of those electric ones. I crouch down a bit and ask (yes ik) if she’d like me to help her up to dry her hands. she kinda shakes her head really fast and I KNOW it’s probably bc she didn‘t know English but I still cringe every time I think about it. i felt like such an American going up to this kid and asking if she needed help idk maybe im overthinking it.

So I (43F) got my hair done by my neighbour who is super nice. Our kids sometimes play together, her and her husband have been to our holiday house, just very nice people and she does a fantastic job on my hair. I was at her salon (very busy dozens of people in there) and we were at the cash. she was in front of me and I was behind her and she turned around and was super in my personal space. I thought she was trying to do the european kiss kiss and so I went in for the cheek kiss. Well she wasn’t so it just turned into her avoiding my kissy face and us awkwardly hugging and her running away. Now I think my neighbour/hairdresser thinks I tried to MAKE OUT with her at her WORKPLACE! omg I can never invite her over or look her in the eye again.
