SO EMBARRO: Real Embarrassing Stories From GF Readers

"Instead of pulling my phone out of my bag, I pulled out a pad!"

Birthday Bash Flash

It was my 16th birthday party and heaps of people were invited including my crush and our family friend’s 6-year-old son. I started opening my presents in front of everyone and the 6 year old walked over and lifted my dress up so everyone could see my undies! If that wasn’t bad enough, I realised later that I had gotten my period early and wasn’t prepared! Everyone saw and laughed. I was mortified!

Bikini Falls

I was on school camp and the group I was with went swimming at a waterfall. Someone challenged us all to jump off a 9-metre ledge into the water. The leader told us that it was totally it was safe to do and I saw my crush looking at me, cheering me on, so I jumped. Then I swam to the edge where my crush was and realised my bikini had slipped and my boobs were showing. I was so embarrassed!

Rocking Fail

A few years ago I started a new school and I was sitting next to this really cute guy. I was trying to show off and leaned back on my chair. Suddenly, I fell and hit my head on a bookshelf and blacked out. When I woke up, there were books all over me and my skirt had gone up. Good impression on my first day at school!

-Chloe, VIC.

Shopping Sucks

I was shopping for vacuum cleaners with my sister and mum, and I was really fascinated by the hand held ones. I picked one up and pointed the nozzle towards my face and I switched it on, thinking it was not charge. The vacuum cleaner came to life with a loud noise, and scared me to death. I screamed! My sister and mum just started laughing at me along with other customers in the store.

-Mel, SA.

Date Crasher

My crush and I arranged to meet up at the movies over the holidays. The plan was to see ‘Maze Runner’ and have sushi. When my mum found out, she said she would have to supervise us. She sat right next to my crush and I in the movie and wouldn’t stop yapping! So embarrassing!

-Anastasia, VIC.

Snapped Up 

I was sending my sister super ugly Snapchats all morning and I decided to end the ugly selfies with one final really ugly one! I scrolled to the letter ‘S’, which is the initial of only two contacts in my phone, my sister and my crush. I stopped concentrating for a split second and accidentally sent it to my crush! He hasn’t opened one of my snaps since!

-Rachel, NSW.

Gift for Grandma

I went to my BF’s grandma’s house for a birthday lunch. There was a pool at the house so we decided to go in, I got changed into my swimmers and got in the pool. When we hoped out I dried off and put my clothes over my swimmers, and then we left. I went back to my BF’s house and went to change out of my swimmers when I realised I had lost my bra! My BF’s mum called me later to tell me she got it back from the Grandma. I couldn’t believe it…

-Holly, WA.

Oh Brother…

I was in the library with my friends and one of them was looking at someone behind me. I thought it was my brother, so I turned around and pulled a really weird, ugly face. Then I realised, it was not my brother but one of his mates! I felt so embarrassed – he was so stunned and everybody laughed at me!

-Sharmaine, QLD.

Peed Off Prank

I was at school and my friend and I were playing a prank on our group. We were hiding in a wardrobe, making sounds that were scaring them all! We ran out and terrified them, they all freaked out and it was so funny. I started laughing and couldn’t stop – I peed my pants because I couldn’t hold it from the laughter! I had to spend the rest of the day at school with wet pants!

-Ella, WA.

Mobile KeyPAD 

My boyfriend and some friends decided to take me out for dinner for my birthday. The night was amazing and the restaurant was packed. They brought out a cake and my boyfriend went in to my bag to get my phone to take pictures. Instead of pulling out my phone, he pulled out a pad and everyone started laugh! It was majorly embarrassing!

-Lily, QLD.
