Funny Embarrassing Moments

Most Embarrassing Moments: Chica Girl Issue 2

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Once I brought my new boyfriend to my house for a family BBQ. When we went to join my parents in the backyard, they began introducing my boyfriend to the familia. Unfortunately, they were getting him with my ex. They kept calling him the wrong name! He was obviously upset because my ex-boyfriend was such a jerk. However, my parents were so sure they got his name right. And my abuelos, who forget even my name, remembered his.

He was so nice and didn’t even correct my parents. By the end of the night, everyone was calling him the wrong name. For the longest time my whole family knew him by the wrong name, “Jorge.”
GRAMMAR FOR MY CRUSH

My best friend and I always pass notes in class. We both had this really strict teacher for English and would pass the time writing about our biggest crushes. My crush sat right in front of me in class so I was always making up little stories about how we would go on dates and what a great kisser he was. Even though it was all made up, my best friend and I always got a kick out of it. We had our own little language and wrote shorthand for everything.

One day my crush got a girlfriend and I was talking so much mess about her. I tried to pass my note to my friend when she wasn’t paying attention. Our teacher caught my note just as I was tossing it to my BFF! She asked me to stay after class to talk about it. I was SO worried.

Our teacher told me that her policy about notes was that she would make copies for the entire class. She would have my classmates proofread my notes for grammar and spelling mistakes. I prayed that my crush wouldn’t go to school the next day. Just my luck, he was in class and listened as my note was read. I never got the nerve to talk to him again. And the whole class thought I was the worst writer in the school!
COLLEGE EMBARRASSING MOMENT:
RESTROOM RUSH HOUR

I am a foreign exchange student and when I first got to my University, I was unfamiliar with the American symbols for the restrooms. I really had to go to the rest room and I rushed into the first room I saw. I was in the stall and I started to hear men’s voices. I realized that I had gone into the Men’s Restroom! The guys in the restroom were talking about me, and I was too nervous to run out of the stall. I waited a minute until I thought they were gone and ran out as fast as I could!
MAMA ON MY SPACE

I was one of the first people to get a My Space page and instantly became addicted. I uploaded so many pictures of myself, my friends, my boyfriends, and eventually my entire senior year of party photos. I had no idea My Space had gotten so popular, so I never changed my profile to private. I kept chatting it up with my friends, leaving dumb comments and even incriminating photos. When I was at school a couple of months ago, I decided to check my profile. I got a friend request from my MOM! She had looked at all my friends' profiles including my own! Since my mom is a smart lady it didn’t take her long to figure out that I had not gone to all those late night study sessions. Her message to me was, “Just wait till you get home. –Love mom.” I felt really nervous; I was going to be in so much trouble. When I got home, she was not as mad as I thought. She spared me two weeks of punishment on one condition, “all of my friends had to add her on.” Now my mom leaves really cheesy comments on my friends’ pages and she has even uploaded some embarrassing baby pics of me!
BACK TO THE TEACHER

Everyone has that one teacher that is just so uptight and so strict. That was our math teacher, Mr. Cortez. He had such a weird way of speaking that the whole class did impressions of him. This one time, Mr. Cortez stepped out of class to make copies of our latest test. I decided to get in on the impressions. I copied his robotic voice and had the whole class laughing. It was pretty hilarious and I was getting a little carried away. Suddenly the whole class became quiet, and I could feel eyes burning on me. It was Mr. Cortez; he has walked in on me making fun of him! I was so embarrassed that I just pretended to cough. I ignored eye contact while the whole class just snickered at my bad luck. Now I know, it is better to be the one laughing than the one being laughed at.
