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.
