Your most embarrassing school moment

ccosgrave · 06-11-2008 02:36PM

First thing that come to mind was something that occurred when I was in third year. I was walking outside to the drinking fountain towards the end of lunch break, while two sixth years were playing hurling nearby with a tennis ball. One of them over-hit the ball, and it rolled down to where I was walking. So, being a nice guy, I picked it up and threw it back to them. Or, that's what the plan was.

Instead, I accidentally threw it behind me onto the roof and the two guys just stood motionless and in shock for a few seconds before bursting out laughing at my sporting ineptitude. Needless to say, I made a quick escape.

I actually still find that story to this day, so it's not so bad. It was still such a retarded thing to do.

Addition:

My actual most embarrassing moment has to be when I was in second class. It was the 200-year anniversary of the 1798 Rebellion around this time, and my teacher decided that we'd dress up as pikemen and walk up to one of the nearby battlefields. So that was fine, I planned my costume the next day, my parents took pictures and everything, and I was looking forward to it.

The next day, I go into school dressed in my kickass pikeman costume. Just as I get out of the car and am about to walk in the door, it dawns on me that I've forgotten that the day was changed until the Friday of that week. Unfortunately, my mother has already left so I was forced to stand around in the assembly area in a pikeman costume, surrounded by hundreds of uniformed students. I was never so mortified. when I got home to change back into my uniform, I actually cried into my mother's arms :cool:

Thankfully the teacher realised my mistake and told the class that she asked me to dress up as an "example" of how everybody else should have dressed

We had to play Cinderella in Irish in 6th class. When the teacher was picking out people for the parts, I let out a roar of laughter when my mate was picked for one of the ugly sisters until she mentioned that I would be joining him.

Also we were playing rounders and had no bat so we just threw the ball. I was also trying to be smooth and impress this Canadian girl that had just arrived. I tried so hard I made 360 turn and threw it over the wall. Game over and teacher wouldn't let me go get it. ;_;

When I was in 5th year of secondary school (and I went to a snooty secondary school), I was sitting in French class with one of the more prudish teachers and about 40 other students (one of the other classes was sitting in with us that day). Now, we were the top honours French class and were really supposed to know our stuff. My teacher used to discuss etymological links between words in French and English, as you do.

So anyway, we were sitting there this Thursday afternoon, in a stuffy room, talking about the French word for brain, which is 'cerveau' - the plural being 'cerveaux'. Both words were written on the board. So, the teacher asks the class en masse what English word this was similar to.

Cue old hullaballoo piping up, 'Cervix, miss'. I think the silence in the classroom for the minute or so before people managed to comprehend what I'd said was the longest and most painful wait in my life. Once the laughter started, I actually thought I was going to black out with the embarrassment. I'm pretty sure I had intended to say, 'cerebrum', but I guess having my girlfriend of the time sitting beside me meant there were other things on my cervix.

A girl in my class developed one full sized big diddy ages before the other one even started to develop. I'd say every gym class for her was a nightmare.:( We were made to have showers in the school after pe, it used to be so embarrassing trying to cover ourselves and manage awkward bra straps and stuff without dropping the towels.Can't imagine what it was like for her.:o

I had just won the school house boxing contest in the heavyweight division (I was a big lad then), and I was enjoying my new fame and the adulation of the girls. I came upon a couple of fourth formers playing billiards in the school hall, and as I passed I patted the cue of the one who was taking his shot, so that he miscued the ball. He turned and belted me in the belly and floored me in front of the whole school. Oh how pride comes before the fall;)

I always called my mother mom when I was a kid.

Anyone using "Mum" was viewed as too British.

One week during PE we were playing hockey and I was in goals.

In an over exuberant effort to block a shot, I hit someone on the knee.

Cue a loud crack, her collapsing to the floor screaming, and horrified silence.

I broke her knee with the swipe I took at her, and at that time (I was about 15) my reaction to shock was to giggle hysterically, whilst she's still screaming, the teacher is paralysed with horror, and the other students dunno where to look.

Thankfully it wasn't one of my friends.

i remember one Biology class in 6th year (as in 18 years old) and we were learning about the female urinary system.

The teacher was explaning about the urethra when one girl in our class pipes up "Oh, we have THREE holes?"

holy sh1t, the class went silent for a second and then burst out laughing, including the teacher.

Poor girl thought we birthed and pissed out the same fanny hole.

Twas nought going on we were playing cards unfortunitly with her and her friends + one of my mates.Then having to have my teachers stay sitting outside my cabin (4 lads in there we were all caught) to make sure none of us escaped during the night again.

Cpoied this form the body mod forum this happened to me in college:o:o I had to go and talk to my thesis supervisor in college, real good looking man anyway i was standing talking to him for 20 minutes or so and when I left the room I noticed that my shirt was almost completely unbuttoned, one of my finer moments in college, I was so embarrassed:o

SoupyNorman · 07-11-2008 01:15PM

Twas in the last couple of weeks in school, had the flu, was running late to class.

Walk into a full room, class in progress. One step into the room I sneezed (caught me off guard) and my nostrils vacated the most green mucasy snot that covered my jumper like a fresh slug trail...all I remember is the wincingment in everyones face, teacher included.

I naturally spun on my heels and left, never to return

Not really embarrassing but a funny story about a mate from college. We were in 1st year and had the sports hall booked for indoor football. Now for this lad, college was his 1st time out of the nest and he was still used to his Ma doing everything for him.

So we played our game and after the showers he reached into his bag for the towel and picked out a face cloth! Turned out he was leaving the home house in a rush for the bus the night before and shouted in to his Ma that he needed a towel. She told him theres one in the press so he grabbed the 1st one there not copping that towels and cloths come in all shapes and sizes threy it into his sports bag.

So there he was, dripping wet with nothing but a face cloth to cover himself

Not my embarrassing story, but I felt embarrassed for the guy so it counts (kind of)-

In my secondary school, everyone was sent outside during morning break, but to different areas, like First Years in the front of the school, 5th years in the back, etc.

Anyway, my year's 'area' was around the back of the school. One of the guys in my year thought it would be hilarious to unscrew all the screws off the back of the school building , so he starts taking them off , much to the amusement of his friends, and throws them over his shoulder as he goes.

Now, the Year Head happened to be walking around and decides to investigate. He walks up behind the guy but doesn't say anything, just waits for him to finish. The guy's friends, not wanting to be involved, walk off without saying anything. Cue the guy turning around, laughing, to his friends, only to find the Year Head standing there calmly instead. His face went from

to :eek:, in about two seconds flat. It was fcuking priceless to watch, but I felt so embarrassed for the guy as the entire year erupted in laughter.

I remember getting hit in the face by a Benny Bunny.

That sentence alone is usually enough to get me laughing to myself when it pops into my head. In retaliation I fúcked a Benny Bunny back at the culprit but ended up clipping a wall and spraying the teachers desk.

Our classrooms had a toilet in them so I removed the hand towel from the rail, mopped it up and put it back on the rail. Little did I know the school did't replace or even wash the towel from one end of the year to the next. Kids used to actually get sick in the toilet from the smell by the time summer came around. Good times.

The slow kids who drank Benny Benny were upset about the whole situation though.

The old "open door and bottle falls on head of unsuspecting victim". Yes that was me. The victim. What was in the bottle? I think I need to phone my counsellor.
