This is a true story. My wife and I had planned, some years ago, a trip to Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Some of my wife's sisters and her partners signed up with us. Well we had booked the trip and finally the day arrives.  We will meet at the airport directly … Kisses and hugs, we board and the plane takes off direction Egypt.

Each one of us in their seat (the flight was almost complete) reading, watching the tablet or taking a nap ... suddenly something strange happens ... one of my sisters-in-law comes running to call my wife ... her sister (and also my sister’s wife) were turning white and dull). On the trip was a friend of ours who is a doctor. My brother-in-law is also a doctor and his wife is a nurse. My wife is also a nurse, so it was not necessary to ask over the loudspeakers "is there a doctor on board?" .. There were enough medical professionals.

We took my sister-in-law to the back of the plane (in the kitchen of the cabin crew). We lay her down on the ground and "the medical professionals try to find out what is wrong with her and revive her" ... they almost succeeded but unfortunately not improve ... the situation was getting worse and worse so we spoke with the captain of the plane ... we have to look for an airport and make an emergency landing .. The pilot asks Turkey for permission to land at one of its airports but there is no answer, so he decides to ask Spain for permission... bingo !! They give us a slot for the Palma de Mallorca airport ... so the plane turns tail and heads to Palma ... my sister-in-law does not improve ...

We arrived in Palma and curiously, my brother-in-law (the doctor) and his wife live on the island so they take my sister-in-law down and they go down with her in order to can be she treated by the airport health services. Entering the plane and all the passengers await events on the runway.

After about half an hour the captain communicates by the loudspeakers that we have permission to take off and continue the journey ... I look for the stewardess and tell her that the two people who had gone with the patient have not returned yet and that we must wait even longer. Let's see if they come back ... answer .. We are leaving and if I want to wait for them, stay with them, and wait for a flight the next day ..

In short .. My sister-in-law gets out of the situation (it had been an overstretched situation) and my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law negotiating if they could leave on another flight.

They didn’t leave the next day nor the other, so they decided to cancel the trip. We happily returned home after a few days after enjoying three countries.

My brother-in-law has never travelled with any of his sisters-in-law ... he travels only with his wife ... and he still does not know Egypt …. My sister-in-law continues to live as if there is no tomorrow.

This happened to me when I was 19/20 more or less.
I was playing football for many years, and sometimes we won some championship or cup of whatever. One year we won a cup, and we were going to celebrate it.

We had a dinner in an Italian restaurant and some of us were drinking a lot. After the dinner we wanted to go to the disco. The disco was in the beach and there were some public bathrooms out of the disco into the beach.

Some of us had been celebrating on the beach, we were shounting, laughing and drinking close to the bathrooms...

After a while, the situation was going worst by time, and 2 or 3 football matters, who were the most drunks, started to shake one of the public bathrooms. I didn't shake, but I stared there and I was laughing with the situation because I didn't know what was going to happen.

Suddenly, the public bathroom felt over! The public bathroom changed it original vertical position to an horizontal ones.

And then, I could hear some yells that it seemes came out of the bathroom... For my surprise, somebody got out of the bathroom, he was a young boy, and he was very hungry with us, my friends were laughing a lot, and I have to recognize that I was laughing so, but in the same time, I was apologizing to him, and I could talk to him and explained that we had won a cup, and we had been celebrating it.

Finally, all of us could get more calm, and I think I could change the way of the situation, not my friends because them were too drunk. The boy understood the situation and in the end, I guess I could avoid a fight or whatever.

It felt me a little bit shame about of this, but nowadays it's a funny thing to explain :)

All happened when I was 4 or 5. It was a normal day, I went shopping at Decathlon with my parents and my little brother who was one because we nedded new mountain boots.
I have to confess I used to be in the clouds imagining I was on a stage doing the best perfomance ever. Actually, I still do it.

I was such a good girl that my parents had never had to worry about me getting lost.

After walk for a long time around the place I felt very tired and I took my father's hand, or that was I thought. I remember it was something weird about that situation, The smell and the feeling of my father's hands was different, but I kept dancing in my head.

Suddenly I watched my mother looking at me laughing and my father near her. OMG! I couldn't believe it, I looked up and I saw a man holding his laugh and my hand. Immediately I turned red, the only thing I could do was run to my mum and start crying. I was too embarrased to speak a word or even think about it.

After I calmed myself my parents went to talk about the men and say thankyou to follow the joke. That day I got very angry with them all. Nowadays we still remember it.

That happened to me many years ago when I was celebrating New Year´s Eve party with my relatives.

I remember very well what had happened that night. My parents and I went to my grandparent’s house earlier. In fact, when we arrived, we could see that my grandmother wore a dirty kitchen apron because she had been cooking. We decided to help her to set the table and to decorate the living room. We wanted to celebrate a great party together.  In that moment, I was child and I felt excited because we would stay each other.

Then, my uncle Pablo and my aunt Esther arrived with my little cousin, Pau. We were surprised because they came with a new guest, my aunt’s father who was called Josep. We received them with a good greet.

There was a great atmosphere, we talked and sat down around the table. Everything was good, but I had to recognize that I was bored because the adults only talked about political matters and football. My mother and my aunt left the conversations and they went to the kitchen to prepared the traditional twelve grapes. I followed them and I caught one grape of the one of the bowls. It was delicious!

Before midnight, we returned to table and everybody had a bowl with twelve grapes. Suddenly, the guest said that in his bowl missed one grape. It was my fault, I had eaten that grape. Oh, my God, I was trembling with fair because I had to recognize my fault in front all of my family. It was embarrassing for me and my parents too.

This happened to me when I was taking a plane to New York. One of the unglamorous things female travelers have to think about is our menstrual cycle. Over the last few years, I made the decision to switch to more eco-friendly sustainable options that do not involve plastic.
This particular story starts when I went with my friends to New York. My cycle decided to appear right when I arrived at the airport, luckily I had brought my menstrual cup. I ran to the airport bathroom and put it on. But when I got out of the bathroom and spent time with my friends, everyone turned around looking at me. I did not understand anything. My friends saw me and understood what was happening to me. I had all my pants stained! What a shame. I ran back to the bathroom and it turned out that I wasn't wearing my menstrual cup.The first thought that came to mind was that I accidentally dropped the cup. Finally, it hit me. I went through the trash in the lavatory and found my menstrual cup. I was so relieved to find it still wrapped in the paper towel. Explaining the anecdote now makes me laugh but I was very ashamed!

I remembered that story last week when I saw a picture on Instagram.  It was a bucolic illustration but also a kind of explicit one. In the image, we can see a girl jumping like she was a child above clouds, but these clouds have such a special form: penises forms.  And my story starts when I saw this picture for the very first time. I loved it and I wanted to show it to my friends from theatre school, so I sent it to our WhatsApp group with the title: My life in the show business world. I’ve always had a very sarcastic kind of humor. The problem was when I realized in what Whatsapp group I actually sent it, and it wasn't what I thought. I sent the penises clouds image to a new whatsapp group that I had with all the theatre critics of Barcelona… And am I an actress! I felt very embarrassed and I couldn't delete the image. No one answered me that message and of course nobody understood my accidental humor.

This happened to me when I just started working in an important Spanish company. A colleague was explaining to me what were my responsibilities, my tasks and the processes to be carried out. Since he was the person I had to replace, and in a few days he was moving to his new position, I tried to take note of all the details. I knew that if necessary I could contact him to ask my questions, but I did not want to bother him too much.He began to explain to me that one of my responsibilities was to monitor the company's soccer team. Buy the players' equipment and pay the rental of the field.I kept taking notes, although I was a little uncomfortable with that task.He told me that I had to attend all the games and make a summary for the company magazine, which I thought was inadmissible because that was outside working hours. At that moment, I raised my head to complain and I found all the companions looking at me and who broke into great laughter.I was only 26 years old and it was a joke. Years later, they still reminded me of it and laughed at my innocence.   Lola Díaz

When I was 11 or 12 I had a tooth infection. The doctor recommended that I had to put me four penicillin injections. The first day I went with my mother and when I saw the nurse handle a big syringe I ran away and I left my mother alone with the nurse. My mother was really embarrased. When my father came home, my mother explained him all.
He grabbed my arm tightly and led me to the nurse I apologized and she put me the painful injection.
After that, on the street my father talked me about what happened and I felt a bit of shame, only a bit, because I was very naughty.

This happened to me at a friend's graduation. The ceremony had finished and we were coming back to the car. My friend's father carried the graduation photograph (“orla”) under his arm.
I confused my friend's father with another man (he was identical). As a joke, I took the graduation photograph from his arm. With the graduation photograph in my hand, I realised that he was not my friend's father and I returned it to him.
It was very embarrassing.

This happened to me when I visited Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles.
My friends wanted to have a bit of fear visiting the passage of terror. I don't know why but it has always made me laught when people scream and run away.

When we bought the tickets we saw some pictures from movies characters such as Frankenstein, Freddy Krueger, and the diabolic doll called "Chucky" I took a photo it. it was really terrifying.

We started the route all very close together. Some actors appeared out of the darkness,  my friends started screaming and I couldn't stop laughing. Out of the darkness and from a door an actor dressed as Chucky appeared and shouted OUUUU!! It was a lot of fun for me, I went to the actor but without touching him and I yelled:  Ohhhhh. Then Chucky disappeared.

Suddenly, out of the darkness someone grabbed my arm tighly, turned on a small flashlight, he was a huge man as he pointed his finger at me. and started yelling at me: DON'T DO IT AGAIN! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! I didn't have time to explain because he left.
Finally,  my friends were the ones who laughed at me. If I hadn't took a photo of Chucky..... For the first time in my life I felt fear in the passage of terror.

YIKES.

Let's face it - we all have that one embarrassing story that still haunts us. And, for some of us, that story comes with some serious baggage - i.e., not being able to return to a certain store or restaurant because of the lingering shame. Yeah, it happens.

Reddit user u/valerian217 posed the question, "What is your 'guess I can't go into that store ever again' story?" And people bravely took to the comments to share their most humiliating and cringeworthy stories. Here are the ones that made me laugh the hardest:

1. "I went to a pet store to play with some of the birds. One liked sitting on my head, and I thought that was cute until I realized he was stuck in my hair. I hid from the store's employees while trying to untangle it myself until I realized I couldn't. One of the employees had to cut the bird out of my hair."

15. "I used to go to the same haircut place from kindergarten until high school. One day, there was a new, fairly attractive woman working. As she started on my hair, I began to sweat. Sometimes when I was younger, my head would get really hot and sweaty when I was put on the spot or anxious. It would usually only consist of a few drops of sweat rolling down my face, but not this time. It was like someone was standing over me, slowly pouring a bottle of water over my head. It just kept coming and coming. Eventually, the girl said, 'Wow, you must be really hot.' I was already very nervous, so I just blurted out, 'Yeah, it must be because you're pretty. I'm not sure why it's happening. You're pretty, but it's not like you're that pretty.'"

"Of course, then I was even more embarrassed, and I still had to sit through the haircut like a dripping wet idiot. She handled the rest of the haircut like a pro. I have no idea why she didn't kick me out. She finished, I paid, and left her a huge tip. Now I drive farther away to get my haircut done somewhere else."

Alright, I'm dying to know how you've royally embarrassed yourself in public. What's your story? Have you returned to the "scene of the crime" since the incident? Tell us all about it in the comments!

This happened to me at my first job in a private language school in Amposta. I had just graduated from University and I was working as an English teacher for the first time, so I was very happy and pleased with my job.

I had been working there for a couple of weeks and everything was great; I was getting to know my students better and my workmates and my boss seemed to be very nice. In addition, my boss used to send me important Whatsapp messages or information related to the school, the students or the lessons when she wasn't teaching at the school. Everything was fine but, suddenly, something happened.

One day, she sent me a message telling me about a problem she had had with a student's mother because of a payment. Then, I replied to her message telling her not to worry and, after that, I also wrote: "Així és la vida" (or, at least, that’s what I intended to write). Some hours later, when I finished work, I looked back at the messages on my phone and I realized that the auto predict text function was on and... Guess what? I suppose that you can imagine tragedy approaching.
Yes, you're right. The auto predict text had changed my message, so I had actually replied to her: "Així és la vodka". Therefore, as you can imagine, I was terrified because in addition it was too late to delete the message. I was really embarrassed because I didn't want my boss to think that I was drunk, that I didn’t take her seriously or anything similar to that, it was just my second week and we hadn't had many opportunities to get familiar yet.

On the following day, I was really embarrassed because I thought that I had probably given a bad impression, so I quickly got into my classroom pretending everything was fine and nothing had happened. However, my boss  precisely got to school right after me, so she came straight away into my classroom before I could start my class and she said to me: "Hey, Mireia! I'm also looking forward to the weekend!". I was absolutely terrified and looked back at her but then, I realized she was laughing a lot. Luckily, she had just laughed at my message and she perfectly understood it when I later explained what had actually happened!
