What Is Your Most Humiliating Experience?

Awww Monstro. I live pretty much like that too. If I don’t embarrass myself unintentionally at least twice a week, there’s something out of alignment with the world.

I’ve discovered I don’t remember it. Yay!

I can’t particularly think of a time where I felt humiliated. I think you would need to care what others think as a prerequisite.

Sorry I whooped your ass, monstro. But if it makes you feel better, I have no memory whatsoever of the speeches we gave, and I doubt anyone else does. So you’re probably the only person alive who remembers this humiliating day. That’s a good consolation, right?

I swear, I must have experienced some head trauma somewhere along the line because you remember so many more things than I do! Maybe Ga Tech permanently fucked up my memory banks. Yeah, I think that was it.

Got called into an interview just as I took a sip from a water fountain.
Being distracted by the call, I got water on my chin, wiped it on my hand,
and then got trapped by the personnel guy who grabbed my hand before I could find a place to wipe it.

Eating a chilidog that had bought for lunch and been sitting on the counter since morning for dinner, because we all went out for lunch. The bus ride home was unpleasant. :frowning:

During divorce proceedings I went to my neighbors’ to leave papers for her to pick up. But she was already there with a new boyfriend I had never met. He scurried out and no words were said by us or the neighbors either.

He he. I almost had a similar experience. When I was at Texas, they held open tryouts for the basketball team after a coaching change and some player defections had left the bench woefully short. I was a halfway decent point guard in pick-up games on good days, but I had been cut from the 9th grade basketball team for being a foot shorter and two steps slower than everyone else. I was now 5’9" and faster, but no where near NCAA D-I level. I thought trying out would be a good experience, and playing ball at Texas had been my dream when I was in elementary school. I went and got the tryout forms, and read the schedule. Day one was: show up at the gym at 4:30 am and run wind sprints for like an hour. Ha. The heck with that.

To add to the thread: When I was in 5th grade, our school was structured so that there were groups of two classrooms, connected by a hallway in the back that had the bathrooms (small closets with a toilet in them) and a door to the playground. When my class was lining up for recess one day, I was in the bathroom taking a pee. I must’ve been singing to my self or something, because suddenly the teacher opened the bathroom door thinking I was screaming in pain – meanwhile all the girls lined up to go outside are craning their necks to get a look at me. I probably peed on the wall turning away so quick.
