You can be embarassed and ten seconds later the principal will be laughing at you. Yay, technology.
Ah yes, high school. How I miss ye.
Here's a list of some of the most embarassing life moments:
1) Being outted as a virgin
For guys this is devastating. I'm not sure why either since everybody knows that most people really aren't getting it in like we all think they are. But the actual spoken truth of being outted as as flowered guy just hurts. It's one of those moments when everybody else who also isn't active will point and laugh. Zoinks.
2) Having the tissue pulled out of your bra
I actually saw this happen to somebody when I was in middle school. The mortified look on this ladies face is one that haunts me still today. It's like she got pants'd and had a schlong. I imagine for women that stuffing one's bra and being found out is the most mortifying thing that can happen. That and dying without draws on and forgetting to wax.
3) Confessing your love to somebody who makes you look stupid...in public
This is the one that happened in the movie that reminded me of my own life. I confessed my love to somebody in a somewhat public display in high school. Imagine my embarassment when she started laughing and her boyfriend...well...laughed too. Thank goodness twitter didn't exist then. No twitpic of the nitwit!
4) Getting beat up with a history book
I saw this one with my own two eyes too. Fight breaks out. One chick grabs one of those really heavy U.S. History books that everybody hated carrying and mollywops the other chick with it, bringing the hallway and the person who just got hit to a complete standstill. A moment elapses and the hallway erupted in laughter at the chick who got hit with a book because she looked equally puzzled. Good times. By the way, she never lived that down.
Those are few high school memories that led to mass embarassment. Got any more?
Girl fights are the most fun to watch!
Unless you count the ones that occur RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
Literally, 2 years ago, I was walking down the hallway minding my own business when i hear a huge slam behind me and see this little 5"2 girl going for gold at this other girl in my grade who's like 6 feet tall. Funniest sh*t ever.
Oh. There was also the time that a kid stole his Dad's camaro and crashed it into a Burger King sign.
One boy was caught with a boner during PE when the class was at the swimming pool for the week.
During the SAC election pep rally, I kept flashing my thong at the people behind me while stunting - not cute. Not cute at all!
The "Cattie List" which listed all of the cattie's (sluts/whores/etc) in the grade below me and my friend, who was a virgin at the time and was in a long term relationship was #1
Ohhh, high school... Feels like it was just yesterday!
Actually, I just graduated so it practically was, but still!
1) Getting busted in the school lunch line. Odds are, if you're in this line, you're too broke to go to Mickie D's or Taco Bell for lunch. It's embarrassing.
2) Someone pushing you down in the hallway and everyone laughing. Or stomping on your feet or stealing your backpack in the girl's room while you're trying to do your business in the stall. Okay, this was middle school, the worst parasitic feeding ground of adolescents.
3) The stupid guy behind you in science class continually snapping your bra strap. That shit HURTS. And the whole class heard it, too.
4) This poor kid getting dumped into the trash can head first. That was totally messed up; I think I yelled at the guy who did that.
5) The guy you rejected for a date spreading a rumor that you're a total slut, and by the next day, the whole eighth grade is whispering about it. And for the record, not the same guy who won't leave your bra alone.
6) The guys in the hall trying to grab your ass as you walk past. Grrr.
7) Doing this anti-drug commercial in the ninth grade and nobody letting you live it down.
8) That stupid spiral perm that was all the rage back in the day. Okay, now I'm betraying my age.
9) Walking along with this girl I knew, suddenly these two girls jumped out and started snarling and pulling each other's hair in the most vicious cat-fight I've ever seen. It scared the shit out of me.
There's more, but I don't want to take up too much space.
Middle school was a whirlwind of embarrassing moments for me. One day, my pants fell down as I was running for the bus, and on that bus (which I managed to catch), I fell into some 8th grader's lap! So awful for my 6th grade self...
