15 Embarrassing Moments Other People Have Witnessed

We've all had embarrassing moments in our own lives. You know, the ones you wish you could take back and that haunt you at 3 AM while you're trying to fall asleep.

But, there are also times when we witness other people's embarrassing moments. And, sometimes they are so bad that we actually get secondhand embarrassment from bearing witness to the atrocities.

"Speech class, chick gets up for her presentation and freezes up. For 3 minutes straight. Teacher did not stop the clock did not excuse her did nothing but watch her sit there and sweat. We all looked at each other and back at her for 3 min straight," wrote NeighborhoodStreet59.

Showing everyone your erection? Not great.

TheBigBadCusp said at age 15, he had surgery on his testicles and was in the children's ward.

When he woke up pretty out of it and tons of people were walking around when one nurse saw him, looked away, and closed the curtain around his bed. Turns out, his gown slipped up and he had a huge boner.

Walking in on someone watching porn has to bad very, very awkward.

"I walked in on my roommate in college who was watching porn in our dorm room. As soon as I walked in I could tell he just panicked and sat there for one second until calmly turning the monitor off.

He then proceeded to take his computer apart for half an hour saying that he couldn't seem to figure out what was wrong with it. I cringed," said bigblueballz77.

"Get in my car to run to the store one night. Baseball game is on the radio. Whatever, good enough, leave it on.

Announcer belches mid-word as he's delivering an advertisement for some betting website.

"Head on over to play baAAHGHGHLLL..."

It sounds like his insides tried to stage a prison break followed by like 5 intensely awkward seconds of dead air. I was crying," said aleques-itj.

There's nothing worse than walking into a glass door.

"I was at a girl's house in high school and we were all secretly drinking in the backyard. Until her friend needed to use the bathroom and walked full force right into the sliding glass door. Her friend's parents were right inside that room watching tv too. She needed to have her parents come pick her up because the nose bleed was so bad," shared YourMomThinksImFunny.

Not the best way to profess your love.

MicrowavingMetal said he watched his friend go up to a girl and try to tell her that he liked her.

Instead of telling her, he walked up to her and proceeded to vomit on her. She ended up crying and running to a teacher. He ended up with a week's detention.

They'll always remember her, forever.

"A woman was looking into one of her shopping bags while walking in the mall and walked straight into a pillar. Her body hitting the pillar made such a loud thud. I felt bad for her and think of her every time I’m at the mall," said raycheems.

Being the new girl is hard.

"I remember a new girl came to our high school and she had a broken leg. She was on crutches, and everybody noticed that.

One day everybody was in the cafeteria and she came through and got line and slowly made her way through the line but right before the cashier her two crutches hit water and spread apart and she face-planted with a loud slap. It was as horrible as you imagined. I never saw her again," shared randylikecandy.

This couldn't be more awkward if they tried.

violet_dawnbreak said that she was at her grandmother's funeral with her father, but her mother couldn't make it due to work.

The pastor walked up to her father, thinking that the Reddit user was his wife (not his daughter), and congratulated him for finding "such a young wife." Yikes.

"During a high school play someone’s mic was on backstage and she said “I used a condom on your mom last night.” Everyone in the audience, mostly parents, heard it. It was like something from a movie," said AnitaHand.

A fart gone wrong.

"In church with the whole school for the annual founders day service. Bishop gave the lord's prayer. In the split second of silence after the "amen" someone near me cut a really loud fart. I try not to laugh out loud by grabbing my nose. Massive nose bleed ensues. Have to walk out of the church bleeding profusely from the face and laughing hysterically," shared Jamdog77.

Two eggs in a row!?

Fisherman_Gabe was at the grocery store and watched a lady drop an entire carton of eggs.

The grocery store employee assured her it was okay and they would clean it up. But, then, she dropped another carton of eggs on the floor right after. Talk about butterfingers!

"My boss’s name is BJ, and he liked to go on vacation. So, we’d refer to taking a vacation day as a “BJ”. We are in morning circle meeting (30ish people).

Our Executive Director (woman) starts praising our head chef (nice, somewhat shy guy)for a good job on the previous night’s event. Not thinking, he says “I should get 2 BJs for that!” He turned bright red and we laughed for 5 minutes straight," wrote VisualDazzling4036.

That's just wrong.

"I grew up in a pretty religious area. I girl about 10ish had an accident in school. Her Mom had to come in to drop off clothes.

Gave her a spanking in front of a lot of the students. Was pretty mean and demeaning about the accident too. It was bad, and really embarrassing to witness," said cuckedprincess.

Just letting it all hang out!

"I was at a waterpark around 15 or so. Floating through the lazy river and came around the bend to see an absolutely gorgeous young lifeguard on the side. I took all my courage and smiled and waved a little. He looked at me like I was insane. I get a little further and realize one of the waterfalls had pushed my bikini top down and I had smiled at him with a titty out," shared Alystar_Omalee.
