Dirty Laundry: People Confess Their Most Embarrassing Moments
We all have dirty little secrets: Those mortifying moments we’d rather forget even happened; the ones that very few people know. But every once in a while, it helps to just let them out and get them off our chests.
Here, Redditors reveal the most embarrassing experiences they’re willing to admit.
1. Trial by Fire
The first time I ever spoke in public was a debate competition when I was 13. Welp, I peed myself in front of teachers, peers, opponents, other schools, judges, and any other descriptor for a person in that 200-person audience.
I was embarrassed but decided that nothing more embarrassing would likely happen if I spoke in public again, and now I have no fear of public speaking.
2. That Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means
When I was young, I didn't know the difference between “getting laid” and “getting laid off.” Had no idea that these things are completely different, and I would use them almost interchangeably.
So, when my dad lost his job one year, the next day at school I went around explaining to all my classmates: "Yeah, things aren't going well at my house, my dad got laid yesterday."
3. The Family That Eats Together…
I was at my best friend’s house, and in the middle of dinner with his family, his parents decided to announce to their children (and me) that they would be getting a divorce and splitting up the family.
The most embarrassing and worst part was that I couldn't leave, because my parents were out of town and I was staying with them.
4. Multi-Tasking
I once got two speeding tickets in one afternoon. One was in a boat, the other was in a car.
