I have told this mortifying story before, but here it is once again.

This was when the school was freshly rebuilt and I was heading to the Sec 4/5 classrooms way at the bowels (or should that be heavens) of the school.

I was in desperate need of the facilities. A pair of girls passed me by and as they did, I asked, "Ladies, where is the nearest toilet?".

Being the coy AssumptionKnights that you are, they did not say a word but pointed to a general direction.

Thanking them, I walked to where the finger pointed, as I was rushing, I did not bother to read any signages as I walked in.

The first thing I noticed was: Why are there no wall urinals in this toilet?

Then it it hit me, I was in the girls' toilet - I rushed out the door only to be spotted by two girls about to go in. I mumbled, "Wrong, toilet", and rushed to class without looking back and without relieving myself. Most uncomfortable lesson ever.

I can't image what went on in the minds of the two girls, but you can guess.

Stuff I've done that is embarrassing or humiliating.

I haven't done anything (personally humiliating to me because i've kinda become immune to embarrassing myself due to how frequently i joke about myself)

But once, during sec 2, my classmate was walking down the staircase from mother tongue, and i was walking up, so i said,

"Hi, _____"

he replied with, "Hey dad."

so now whenever i see him i say "hi son"

This very incident still haunts me till this day despite it being about a year since it’s occurrence.

I was on the train, on my way to school. I must have been rushing that morning because I had not noticed something that should have been extremely obvious. The zipper on my skirt was not up. Half the lower part of my body was practically exposed in the open for everyone to see. I made it on the bus, walked down a busy street and onto the train before a kind soul alerted me of the ordeal. At that moment i felt incredibly mortified I would have probably dug a hole and buried myself in it. Just imagining the amount of people that were probably judging me makes me cringe, still.

Needless to say, henceforth, I never left the house without checking if i had zipped up my skirt to avoid such an mortifying incident from happening again.

As a child, you do many things that are stupid that you aren’t humiliated or ashamed of.
But once, I was in an IKEA with my family and my father has gone on and took another cart. When a familiar looking man passed me holding a empty cart, I grabbed it and jumped inside, thinking that that was my dads cart.
You can imagine my shock when I found a confused middle aged man looking down upon me. Needless to say, my face burned up and I jumped out of the cart and ran away.

I once did all 4 subjects of the PSLE paper in Sec 1 with the highest confidence I’ve had in my entire life.
For every subject, I failed the whole paper.

Most embarrasing thing id done is say was burning my hand while cooking instant noodles. I was hungry and planned to cook instant noodles. After boiling water and preparing, upon removing the cap, my hand accidentally came in contact with the metal tip of the pot and i burnt myself.

probably the most embarrassing thing i’ve done to this day is walking into three different walls all in consecutive succession

An embarrassing situation, is whenever I go to a formal or serious setting I always seem to mess up. For example, in competitions I have to remain confident and serious. However I kept smiling to myself unconsciously and I even got shouted at for it. I was utterly embarrassed and tried not to repeat that mistake again. I just can’t seem to be serious in a formal setting.
