I Will Not Be Ignored...

We were on a family road trip and stopped at a gas station to use the restroom and get some snacks. I walked into the bathroom and saw my daughter in one of the stalls. I knew it was her because I could see her blue vans that she was wearing that day. Being the only people in the bathroom, I decided to mess with her. So I said her name in the creepiest voice possible. No answer. I said it again, even creepier. No answer. Finally, I'd had enough of her ignoring me, so I said, "I will not be ignored!" In the same creepy voice and peeked through the crack of the stall.
But, instead of my daughter, some poor little girl looked horror stricken back.
I ran from the bathroom, told my family it was time to go, and get the heck out of there, way too embarrassed to look back.

Kiss it Goodbye

So, I've been looking around for a job, right? And yesterday, I go to Zupas and on the front door, there's a help wanted sign. I figure it wouldn't be a bad job, so when I get home, I apply online. The way you apply for Zupas online was super confusing to me, so I kind of gave up on it, thinking they wouldn't call me because it wasn't even complete.
Today, during lunch, I get a call from an unknown number. Lately, I've been getting calls at least once a day from some cruise line trying to sell to me. So,  when I saw this strange number, I figured it was just the cruise line again and I rolled my eyes explaining my frustration to my friend. She insisted I let her answer the call, so, against my better judgment, I let her. She answers it with, "BlahhGoobooMrr" or some kind of gibberish baby talk. Then she persist to say, "STAHP calling me!!" In her best impression of Jimmy Fallon's "Sara", and hangs up. We laugh about it after, thinking we're so clever and funny.
Then the number calls again. Holiday Cruise Line doesn't ever call back.
But by this point, I'm too frustrated that they're still bugging me to think logically and I answer the phone with an irritated, "Hello?"
Voice on the other end: "Hi! Is this Anna?"
Me, in a still irritated and somewhat smart-alecky voice: "Yeah, this is she." (because I think it's sooo ugly when people say, "this is she!")
Her: "Well Hi! This is the manager from Café Zupas and we we're just looking at your online application, do you have a few minutes?"
Me to my friend: I'm going to kill you.
Manager proceeds: "Ha.. ha, um, was that you who answered the phone the time before?"
Me to my friend: Yeah, we're not friends anymore.
I explain to the kind lady that, no(!!), that was not me, it was my friend trying to be funny. She then replies with, "Oh good! I was pretty scared..."
Yeah, yeah me too.
Let's just kiss that job goodbye.

Who Needs A Date?

Story of my first date. We made plans to go to Aquatica (Orlando water park) because I have a seasonal pass. We made plans way ahead of time. Everything was set and I brought a non refundable ticket for him. He was just supposed to pay for the food, locker, ect. He tells me that day he forgot about an appointment he had so he's be a little late. Hours pass, so I tell him that I'll meet him there since I live farther. I'm almost there, he calls and tells me he can't make it and if we can go another day. Since I was already just about there and it was HOT, I went in and spend the whole day alone. Going on the rides (that I could actually get on because 90% you need more than one person) alone, watching the families and couples, wave pool alone, eating ice cream alone...seriously, probably the loneliest I've ever been. Who goes to a water park alone? Then, it started raining.

Never talked to him again after that. Worst and First "date" - Canceled on me. To make it worse, my mom and sisters asked how it went because I hardly ever go out and I don't have a lot of friends. I lied and told them it was great and everything because I was too embarrassed to tell them what really happened.

Heart Crusher

The first time I asked a guy out, I forgot we were on a date and left him to go hang out with my friends. When I returned he was all lonely and stuff. I'm bad at staying in one spot so I invited him to slow dance and he did reluctantly. Although, I drove him home and I think he wanted a goodnight kiss...or at least a proper goodbye. But I was hungry and just dropped him off and went home. 1 week later I found out I crushed his heart accidentally. It's sorta embarrassing...

No Excuse

This one's a little vague... But I'm guessing this poor chap got stood up. Is there anything more embarrassing? ... Well, yes, yes there is. But it's pretty bad! And all C has to say is....

She never showed up.

'Nuff said, honey.

I'll Never Unsee That

One time I walked in on my friend's mom going to the bathroom. Not long after that, I walked in on my friend's dad going to the bathroom. They were both just like, "Hey!".... it was traumatizing.

Not Cool Enough

I didn't know how many embarrassing experiences I had until I started this blog...

I was at school one day waiting outside my teacher's door to go into class. The bell had rang, but the teacher was still on his lunch break, so the whole class was waiting. This girl that I've known my whole life (same soccer team as kids, same elementary school. etc, etc.) came up to me and said, "Hey Anna!" in her usual perky way. I smiled and said hey back louder than was necessary. But she didn't stop at me. She continued to walk past me to the cuter, way more popular Anna behind me that I hadn't known was there... I felt so stupid. So I slowly just faded away behind a group of people. The worst part was, we were still all stuck there 'cause me teacher hadn't come back yet.

Don't Mind Me...

Every year, I run a 50 mile race through the mountains. It usually takes around 12-14 hours and there are little to no bathroom along the way. At one point, I had to go to the bathroom, and it was a little more than just pee... So, I went to the side of the trail, pulled down my pants, and started to go. When I was in the middle of doing my business, a guy came around the corner and saw me, butt naked, taking a dump. We made eye contact, said hello, and then he went on his merry way. So embarrassing.

Soiled Seats

I was going on a date with my boyfriend (later husband) and some friends of ours. We were driving my boyfriend's dad's car and the girls (including myself) were in the back. At one point in the drive, there was a cliff with a lake to the side of us, and we got really close to the edge. One of the girls was so terrified that we would fall in, she peed her pants. Afterwards, we got out of the car to stretch our legs and we when we got back in, we sat in different spots. One girl got the seat that had been peed in and cried, "Ew, what is that?!" Me, knowing the girl had peed and was super embarrassed about it, tried to convince the girl that I had spilled my perfume. She wasn't satisfied with my explanation and wanted to know for herself. So, she got her big nose and put it in the pee. "That's not perfume!!! That's pee!!" She yelled. And the secret was out.
So, in the end, the girl was humiliated because she had peed and ruined the date, I looked guilty because I had covered it up (or tried to), and Dean, my boyfriend, gave the car back to his dad with soiled seats.

Truth Hurts

I'm on two soccer teams, so I have two different goalies. Today, the goalie from my one team played with my other team in our game because we needed more players. Let's call her Jen. My other goalie, Katie, I love and think she is the greatest goalie I've ever had. After our game, I was congratulating Katie, telling her she's my favorite goalie ever. Then I felt a slug to the shoulder. Jen was right there. "Thanks, Anna." she said bitterly and walked away. I was so embarrassed. I don't think Jen and I are friends any more.

This is Also Why I Don't Have Kids

I was at Lagoona Beach at Lagoon with my friend (later my wife) and her 4 kids. The kids wanted me to go on the slide that's pretty much vertical; you go straight down. Not wanting to be a party pooper, I obliged. My friend said she was going to watch. After watching a few grown men do it before me and come out fine, I figured I could do it. Well, no one told me you had to cross your legs, or else. So I go down the basically vertical slide spread eagle (my legs wide open). When I hit the base of the slide, instead of gliding across the pool like the other men had, my crotch hit solid water and I sank. It was so painful, I could hardly walk out of the pool. The girl lifeguard hurried over to me and asked if I was okay. I brushed her off, pretending like it was nothing, while on the inside I was dying.
My friend just laughed as she watched the whole thing.

This is Why I Don't Have Kids

One time I was riding a jumping horse and I was coming up to a jump and the horse stopped right before it. I flew over the horse and somehow landed straddling the jump. While unable to breath and holding my crotch, I slowly proceeded to rotate off the pole and to fall to the ground in immense agony. Everybody was laughing at me, but I just cried.

That's What You Get For Being Nice...

A long story started out really simple.
We had German Day at our high school in October.  We were practicing a lot for it and were excited to show the other high schools that we are way better than them. The day was here, and we were excused from class. It was awesome, I was supposed to stay in the library with the other 3 native Germans and talk with all the students in German. It was also called signature conversation; you had to ask questions and talk, if somebody answered the question with yes, you had to sign the paper.  I guy came up to me and was talking to me, it was fun and although he couldn’t speak really good German. He asked me one of the questions and I answered with a "yes", but I wasn’t thinking and signed with my first and last name.
I never saw this guy again on that day, but later I came home and got a friend request on facebook. I had talked to so many guys that day I couldn’t remember him, but of course I accepted the request. He started sending me massages asking me how I was,  and I would respond. He doesn't have a smartphone, so he asked me if he could have my phone number. I gave him my number and we texted. November passed and he wanted to see me again. But, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to see him, because I couldn’t remember who he was. Finally, I said yes, when he asked me to go to a movie (hobbit) with his friend and the friends girlfriend. By this point I didn’t realize that this was supposed to be a date; in Germany it is just normal to hang out with guys without any purpose. As he picked me up and introduced himself to my host mom, it got awkward. Before the movie started we had to wait, so he asked me a ton of questions. I answered everything friendly, but I never really asked anything back. I thought he would get that I didn't think it was working out between us. The movie was over and he brought me home. I thought everything was good and we would never see each other again. Wrong! Later that day he posted on his Facebook “Saw the Hobbit yesterday with three awesome people. It was so fun. After that we weren’t really texting anymore. At the end of Christmas break I had a boyfriend, that relationship lasted 7 weeks or so. I never heard back from the guy (not my ex-boyfriend, the other one I went to the movie with). One day he started texting me again. I was fine and just answered short. I never really asked questions back. Then he asked me if I could help him with his photography assignment. I said yes (my friends always tell me that I am way to nice). So he picked me up at a Friday in March. I thought the conversations at the movie were bad, but they got even worse. After he took hundreds of pictures of me at a castle, we were done. But his friend who drove wasn’t here, so we had to wait 45 minutes until he showed up. During that time it was awkward silence. I was just done and didn’t want to talk to him after this super awkward photoshoot (for one picture he wanted me to lay in the grad and he was standing over me, I was really uncomfortable). Finally his friend came and brought me home.
After that day I never responded him, he asked me if everything was ok and I said yes. I hang out with my friends just a couple days later and told them everything. They started texting him from my phone, first just about random stuff and later they asked him what he thinks about me. And he just “I wish there would be more”. If I would have known that, I would have never started the whole thing.

It's A Better Window Than Door

I was sitting in school,  and first period just started. I am an Exchange Student from Germany and my family is back home in Germany. I always text my mom when I get up, when I get to school and sometimes during the day. I texted her that day before I got into the building, but she was shopping with my sister, so she didn't answer before school started. Before I got an answer from my mom, I got a text from my sister saying "Guess what?". She told me they were walking out of a store and wanted to go to the next store, but because my mom was concentrating on her phone, about to text me back, she didn't see the glass window of the bus stop and totally ran into it. That was really embarrassing for her. It made it even worse that my sister was laughing. My mom always says my sister should watch the street when she walks because she's ran into people before, but now it happened to my mom.

My sister was texting me the story and I was just cracking up in my class. Everybody was starring at me, including the teacher.

Roundolph the Red Nosed Gymnast

Once I was at Gymnastics and I was told to do a running roundolph but I had no clue what that was. So I went to my coach and I said "What is that." and she just said "Watch everbody else and then try." So I watched everybody really closely and I thought your hands weren't supposed to touch the ground so when it was my turn I sprinted as fast as I could and jumped up and face planted into the ground and everybody started to laugh and worst of all I got a really bad bloody nose so everybody had to get off the floor so they could clean the blood off the floor.

Wet Stairs

It was super rainy weather, and I had to hurry because my next class was about to start. I was speed walking to my locker to get my music and my friend was with me. After we got our stuff, we were on our way back, and I was rushing down the stairs. My shoes were still wet from walking outside and the stairs were wet too. While I was talking while nearly running down, it happened. I fell and slid down the wet stairs. It was so embarrassing. One thing was that everybody saw how I fell down the stairs. But the other thing was that my pants were wet at my butt, because the stairs were so wet. I wished the ground would open and swallowed me up at that moment.

Should've Stayed Home

My most embarrassing moment was in high school. I was really sick, but I didn't want to skip school. So I went! Well that was a terrible idea because in the middle of class I felt like throwing up. I got up and rushed to leave class to go to the bathroom. I didn't make it in time and instead threw up on the doorknob of the classroom. It was so embarrassing! I rushed out to the bathroom but my class was trapped in the stinky classroom because no one dared to touch the barf covered doorknob. Eventually my teacher had to use a tissue to free the classroom. While laying in the health room I could hear my class leave the room and complain of the smell.

Like a Slap to the Face...

One day I was walking from class. There was this big guy. And I mean big. I was just this short little freshman girl and this guy towered over me. Well, he reached out to pat his friend on the back and he missed. Instead, he slapped me in the face and left the biggest red handprint on my cheek. It hurt so bad!

When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go.

One time when I was in second grade, I was a new student and so it was really scary. Well anyway I was sitting by the HOTTEST kid in the whole wide world and basically every girl in the second grade was in love with him I think his name was Ethan.  Ok so our class was being yelled at because we had a wood-chip fight during recess, but I had to go to the bathroom SO bad. I was  super scared to raise my hand and ask the teacher because she was getting mad at us. I could not hold it anymore so i just peed my pants. Now our classroom floor was tile so it just splattered and started to run down the aisle of desks. The boy I was sitting by stood up and announced really loud that i had peed my pants. I started crying and everyone in the class was staring at me while they were laughing. It was so embarrassing and I never liked that boy ever again.

Don't Dance Like Nobody's Watching

One day, I was walking home from school listening to my music in my headphones suupperr loud. Of course, when a good song comes on you've got to dance, so I did. I was dancing like a crazy person then I hear a honk and the person who honked who a kid that I had the biggest crush on, and now they won't stop teasing me about it. Moral of the story is, don't dance like nobody's watching.

Because Cast are Cool... Right?

When I was in 3rd grade, I sprained my ankle a little because I jumped off the stairs. It didn't hurt a bit, but because I thought having cast was cool, I went to the hospital with my mom and had an examination thing. The doctor told me that nothing was wrong, after taking x rays and stuff, so I cried. I cried for hours begging the doctor to please give me a cast. Next day I got the cast and made everyone sign it.

Tackled

The other day an old friend, who I haven't seen in a few years, invited me to attend his tennis match that was at my school. I had no reason not to go, so I went. My friend Dominique came with me and we set our christmas blankets (they're the comfiest blankets I own)  up on the hill; it was the perfect view. As we are waiting for the game to start, I see my friend start to make his way over to us. Thinking that he had seen me and had come to say hi, I jumped up and started to walk to him. The awkward part was, he actually hadn't seen me and walked straight past me to his other buddy. At that point, I felt pretty stupid. But I continued to yell his name, and he finally saw me. He was so excited to see me, he ran to me, threw his arms around me and tackled me down the hill. And there we were- entangled, tumbling down the grass. Now THAT was awkward.
Afterwards, his friend came up to us and said to him, "Heard you tackled a girl down the hill. Nice one. Everyone's talking about it." And I just sat there like, yeah, that girl was me...
Not sure who that was more embarrassing for, me or him.
