EMBARRASSED

Some things are easier to remember , and some are easier to forget. I can remember my most embarrassing moment as it happened yesterday. I have tried over the years to forget this moment , but it just never seems to go away. I was fifteen years old when my father gave me two-hundred dollars for the good grades I scored in all of my classes. To enjoy it I decided to invite my girlfriend and three close friends to a popular restaurant for a meal. I was so excited to share that moment with them. At the restaurant , I asked my friends to order as much as they liked. The food was delicious , and the service was efficient. We sat at a table right in the middle of the restaurant. After our food was served all of us began to eat. We ate , talked and laughed at the jokes we made in school. We were having such a great time. After we had finished eating , I asked the waiter for the bill. I was ready to pay that bill , but I was suddenly surprised. As I put my hands into my pockets I found out they were empty. I got all nervous, and just said to myself, “oh my god I lost the money“.
Only then I realized that I had left the money at home. I was in such a hurry that I had forgotten to take the money with me. I asked my friends if I could borrow some money from them , but they only had brought money for bus fare , so they could not help at all. Ten minutes passed and I did not know what to do. I finally told the waiter that I had forgotten to bring my money. She was very angry and told me to see the manager. Everybody at the restaurant was looking at us as if we had committed a crime. I felt so bad for having my friends go thru such an embarrassment. I did not waste no time in apologizing to them. They told me they understood it could happen to anybody , and they were with me. Fifteen minutes passed until I got to talked to the manager. I was ready to wash some dishes if I had to , but thanks God that was no the case. The manager was a kind gentleman. He

    True event: When I was a younger man back in 1973 or 74, I was out in (Royal Oak) near the (Detroit Zoo). I cannot remember the reason I went out there more than likely just joy riding, I use to do a lot of that when I was younger since the age of 18, and mostly I have driven new cars all my adult life. I saw a sign for a delicatessen that offered corn beef sandwiches among others; so I stopped, and went in to buy a sandwich. When I entered there were people already in line placing and receiving their orders and more people came in after me; you did not need to have a number for your turn to place an order. The order taker or waitress a (white female), was doing a good job of calling the correct person for their orders until my turn was up. When my turn came the order taker asked someone for their order that I felt entered after I did, but I saw not sure. Anyway after this person made their order (MY turn), wrong; she asked someone else could she help them, but what she did not know was that me and this person had short small talk while waiting our turn. Instead of stepping up to place an order, this person said; I think gentlemen is suppose next, the order taker said (oh sorry), and asked me (what do you want)! I looked at her and said not a thing from this place, and turned and walked out. As I left I could hear a few people telling her about manners and he was just another customer regardless. Oh did I mention that I was the only person of color in the delicatessen. I was not embarrassed, but angry as a (**********).…

This was the last couple times that I could hang-out with my high school friends before we walked our way to the graduation; we better did something fun!

    But then my girlfriend and I were sitting with our feet in the pool ankle deep. We were talking about our parent’s divorce. At the time it was just over a year that my parents got divorced so it was fresh like a cut. Hard to even think about, yet there I was talking about it. It started to rain lightly. So we moved to the steps outside the restaurant where we wouldn’t get hit by the rain. The restaurant was still open so I got the best coffee I have ever had. Slowly drinking it as if it was my…

    One weekend, seven of us decided to take a trip down from college to my parents' beach cottage in Panama City [Florida]. We were three guys and four girls celebrating our last weekend before beginning our sophomore year. We unloaded the cars and prepared for bed. I did not know then, but it was the last decent night's sleep I would have. We got up the next morning, loaded the cooler with beer and headed for the beach. We laughed, drank and exchanged stories from our freshman year. After finishing an enormous meal, we continued to drink and dance until 1:00 a.m. We had to get back to school early the next day, so we decided to fill the car with gas and get more cigarettes that night. My friend and I hopped in his truck, me in the driver's seat and he in the passenger seat, and headed to an all-night convenience store. We found one store open about two miles down the road. We pulled in, gassed up and headed back to the beach house. It was a straight shot, just a few minutes down a four-lane highway.…

    The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…

    This happened on November 4th. The situation was: I was on my way to school and was suppose to drop off a letter in the mailbox. I was the only one there. My purpose was to mail the letter so it would arrive on time. Instead, I ended up driving past the mailbox and going to school.

    Have you ever had the experience that you mistook somebody for someone you knew in the public? When you were shopping, hanging around, or just standing in somewhere, suddenly, you saw a familiar back of someone. So you decided to step forward to pat on that person's shoulder to surprise him or her. However, the person whoever you thought he or she was wasn't the one you thought. I did have this kind of experience which was so embarrassed that I can still remember every tiny detail that day even though it took place almost fifteen years ago.…

    Thing and Wallet

    • 651 Words

    In my wallet, I store dire personal items such as my passport and some pictures. Among other things, I have money, like everybody else, and certificates for stores. Last summer, I went to the Camp with my friends. The bad thing is I had all money which I collected from them to spend our trip. I drove down there with my wallet and took it everywhere with me, like I would any other time. Well, when someone doesn't have pockets, then it is hard to keep their wallet right next to them at all times. I was carrying my wallet out from the house, along with my keys, and set both on top of the car. When I figured out that I needed the keys in order to get in the car and turn it on, I took them off the top of the roof, leaving my wallet behind. I sat in the car, car door open, waiting for my friend to make it to the car so we could all go to swim. Once she made it to the car, without thinking, I closed the door and started the car. I had been driving about half a mile before I realized that my wallet was no longer on my body. Immediately, I pulled the car over, and the next hour or so was spent looking for my wallet. All I could think about was what we would lose if I didn't find my wallet. Aside from that we had 3000 Togrog which equals to 3$ in cash. While walking up and down the road that my wallet flew off on, my friend…

    Embarrasing Moment

    • 325 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I consider myself to be one who doesn't easily get embarrassed, but one of my most embarrassing moments happened this past summer. It all started when a few friends of mine decided that since it was incredibly hot out that summer day, that we should all go down to Tubbs hill for a swim. I’m not sure if you realize how busy downtown is during mid-summer season, but understand it’s almost always completely jammed full of people trying to fight off the blistering sun. So my friends and I hiked up the path to get a good spot to start jumping off the rocks and start swimming, but all the great spots were all full. We decided to just find a close spot and just deal with all the people in the area. Our day progressed as normally as you’d expect, and everyone was enjoying the water and how refreshing it was fighting off the heat of the day. Eventually everyone was starting to get bored jumping off the smaller rocks as well as just swimming around, so my friends decided we should start jumping off the higher rocks. Eventually it came to my turn to jump and I went for it. As I dived into the water I didn’t realize at the time the sheer pressure on my swim shorts, but once I broke the surface of the water for air it struck me. I had lost my swim shorts on the dive, so I was sitting in the water completely nude in front of all my friends and random strangers that were watching. I franticly searched for my swim shorts, but to no avail, they were lost. Eventually a friend brought me a towel so I could get out of the water and return home. I would have to say that this was one of the most extremely embarrassing moments I’ve had so far in my…
