I had met this guy in a show that I did and I liked him almost instantly. Well, about a month after the show, I got a note in my locker. There was no signature, but it was pretty much a love note saying that I was great and that this person cared about me. I had been talking to this guy for a few weeks on IM mostly, and when I asked him about it, he asked me to do something with him. I was so happy because I liked this guy and I was so sure it was him. Even my friends were like, yes, it must be him and one girl recognized his handwriting. Well, I wrote him a note one day, basically saying that we would be a so great together and we should go out. I got on IM that night and he told me that it wasn't him that wrote the note and that he was flattered, but he was leaving town in a few months and didn't want to go out with anyone. I was so mortified! and the worst part is, I still have no idea who wrote the note!

-Think Before You Act

I was at my guy friend's bar mitzvah one night. It was a really long one so most people left kind of early. When I got home, I just put on whatever pajamas I could get my hands on. I was wearing a maroon t-shirt that barely covered my belly-button and was way too big horizontally, with pajama pants and tall striped socks. The next morning, I had just woken up and was too tired to deal with fixing my major bed-head. The doorbell rang and I went to answer it. It was my guy friend. He was dropping off his bar mitzvah shirts from the night before (which no one had taken because we left early). Oh my gosh! I was mortified. He didn't even say anything! He just stared and handed me the t-shirt and walked away, not caring that I could totally see his mouth hanging open. From this day on, he won't even look at me. Or if he does, he just starts cracking up.

-Who says no one sees your pajamas!

In my gym class, we are forced to wear these huge shorts every day and I'm skinny. Big problem. My crush is in my gym class and one day we were playing sitting volleyball. I wanted to impress my crush so I tried my best to keep the ball from hitting the ground and to score points. We were on seperate teams, boys against girls. So after scoring some points and repeatedly catching the ball, it happened. The ball was thrown to me and I leaned back to catch it. As I fell back, my legs went off the ground a little and all the boys on the opposite team, including my crush, got a clear view up my shorts! I ended up not catching the ball and I hope they couldn't see my underwear. I was mortified and didn't even attempt to catch the ball again.

Once I was in the cafeteria at lunch and our school has really disgusting burritos, so my friend dared me to eat one and I did. A little later, we were talking to my crush and I was feeling kind of queasy. Suddenly another friend ran up to me and playfully hit me on the back. I threw up all over my crush! It was gross and completely embarrassing!

I was at a store with my mom, shopping for a purse. We were waiting for our turn to pay for it. I gave the salesperson the purse and she tried to open it because the price tag was inside it. The zipper was stuck and some really hot guys were standing behind us. I was embarrassed because my mom kept on talking in a really loud voice. I offered to unzip the purse and tried to unzip it. It didn't work and then I was feeling flustered, so I gave the zipper a huge pull. The zipper didn't open but I accidentally slammed my hand against my nose. It started bleeding! My mom hurriedly payed for our purchase but the salesperson hadn't scanned the price tag yet. We started to walk towards the exit and then the alarm went off. I was so horrified. Everybody was staring so much at me and the hot guys were laughing really hard.

-Too Flustered To Think

In math class, my friend and I were discussing the joke that a person we know supposedly had a crush on her. We'd been arguing about this for a few days, so we grabbed a sheet of paper and battled it out, both verbally and writing on the paper ("he likes you!" "no, he likes YOU!"). The guy we were talking about turned around, not two feet from us, and yelled "Stop talking about me!"

-Not aware of surroundings

One time I was sitting in my bedroom late at night watching TV with no makeup, hair wet, and PJ's when my older brother called my name. I opened my door and there he was with his hot friend! I just closed the door, mortified about the way I looked. I wasn't even wearing a bra! To this day, whenever I see his hot friend, I just kind of smile and walk away.

I was staying in Mexico with my family for my brother's wedding. One day, I was walking back from the pool by myself. I was looking ahead when something caught my eye, so I looked down and saw this huge lizard! I jumped about three feet back and screamed. Then I looked to my right and saw a group of guys working on the roof of a hut, laughing at me. I was mortified.
