Every day I get that situation where I don't quite understand a person. Usual reaction is to nod and laugh. Those few awkward seconds when they look at you attentively and you realise it wasn't a yes or no answer -.-

I was walking to uni and wasnt paying attention, the doors are automatic and i didnt read the sign that said 'door locked, use side door' and smacked my face straight into the door.

I took a few steps back and tried to walk towards the door again hoping it would open, and when it didnt i looked so confused. I could hear someone laughing quietly behind me and they pointed out the sign. Found out later that it was my lecturer, he probally thinks im a ditsy fool.

lol this made me laugh!:biggrin:
Passing out for a second while drinking and dropping beer on the ground so it splashes over everyone else's shoes.

Knocking a cup full of water so it pours all over someone's dinner and they have to cook it again. Then within half an hour knocking a glass of booze with coke so it pours all over female friend's pants.

Falling out the bed on the floor while trying to reach the phone.


Totally didn't happen to me...

1) In a GCSE exam, everyone else was sat in 2 long neat rows in the hall. I misread my seat number and sat on the other side of the room so there were these 2 perfect rows then me sitting like a complete larry on my own. To make it worse, a teacher came over and said "is this where you are meant to be?" really loudly and everyone stared.

2) I was running through an aisle in Tesco because I was in a rush, stood in a puddle and went flying through the air and landed flat on my back in front of a crowd of old people. Who then started fussing over me. So embarrassing.

3) My drink got spiked when I was clubbing with an ex boyfriend and his friends. We headed back to his student house and I was feeling increasingly light headed. I then threw up in front of all his friends who I barely knew and ended up slumped with my head in the kitchen sink. I'm sure I made a good impression...

4) Went to do my driving theory test and the door was a weird glass door that looked like a window. I couldn't tell which part was the door so I was actually trying to open the window like a door while a room of about 15 people sat watching (and probably laughing).

5) Didn't happen to me, but at school, my friend had finished her baguette and had put the tomato slices in the wrapper as she doesnt like tomatoes. She got bored and started swinging the empty wrapper while she was chatting and without realising, the tomatoes flew out of the wrapper and landed on the head of a girl sitting at the table behind us. Was really funny but the girl wasn't impressed.

6) Was on a train in the loo, flushed the toilet before I was fully decent and the door automatically opened so everyone in the carriage could see!

Doing a presentation in front of the whole class D:
*can't do presentations*
Picture the scene:

You're walking home from school. You walk alone as you don't live near any friends, so you spend the 30 minute walk daydreaming. Despite walking alone the streets are full of other school pupils, both from your school and the other secondary school in town. Your route also takes you alongside many roads, filled with cars full of people.
During this particular walk home, you are relaying a conversation in your head. Or rather, you are thinking of all the things you should have said. And the reactions to these things you should have said. Before you know it, you are conducting a full on conversation in your head, with you playing the role of both yourself and this other person, answering on their behalf what you want them to say. This carries on the whole way home. You notice people looking at you but ignore it- this conversation game is way too satisfying to think about what's happening around you.
Just as you are about to get home you walk past a window. Still in full on conversation mode you glance in the mirror. Suddenly you notice something, something you wish you hadn't. You were mouthing the words that were being spoken in your head. And pulling the relevant expression (anger in this case). And you realise the whole way home you've been mouthing words to yourself, and pulling a spectrum of facial expressions, from anger to love to hysterical laughter. Without even realising.
People queuing outside the school toilets.
Theres a spare toilet.
But it has no toilet paper.
I go in.
I just wanted to put my makeup on.
You come out flushing the chain to make it more realistic.
They look at you like "ewww you didn't even wipe your arse"
Me: Crap.

Also..
LOOOL EVERYONE HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE:
In primary school toilets when you and someone else were going a toilet and it was so quiet you could hear each others pee hitting the water.

In Primary School when we were given these little 'motor' things that span round and I thought it would curl my hair for some reason, but it ended up getting stuck in my hair and the teaching assistant had to cut a huge chunk of my hair off.


I did this last week :frown:

When I was 11 I put my thumb on the end of those stick blenders and switched it on, I remember at the time thinking "oh, I wonder what will happen?"...needless to say a very dramatic and bloody trip to a&e followed, and I still haven't admitted to my mum I did it on purpose

My stomach repeatedly making really odd noises for about 10 minutes during an exam.

Falling up one step and coming to school the next day on crutches because I'd broken my foot, wrist and thumb from the fall.
Watching porn and having your flatmate walk in on you :blushing:
Walking towards someone sidestepping in the same direction to avoid each other. You both apologise and then both try to move the other way...again...and again...
