embarrassing

Remember everyone, sleeping is the time when you're most vulnerable, and literally anything can happen. Not much makes a scary situation scarier than when you're jolted into reality with zero context. It's kind of impossible to prevent stuff like this happening while you're asleep, so just...try not to sleep I guess?

Catastrophic garment failure is an innate fear in everyone, like darkness or loud noises. It seldom happens, but every time it becomes a story. Everyone has feared a version of this. You'd think it could only happen in nightmares, but this guy screwed up and had to deal with the consequences.

This woman's panicked story about showing up to a job interview after a rushed, productive morning is the stuff of nightmarish fever dreams. Seriously. Even then, it makes sense. We get caught up in the motions of our day, and sometimes through that movement we forget to look down and confirm that we are, in fact, carrying said motions out with pants on. I want to take a moment to commend her for returning the coat hanger too. That alone is a green flag for a company considering hiring her! 

We can't really fault him for anything but not noticing the true secret behind the free treat. It's really more of a condemnation of the weirdos out there who would set up hapless bystanders for failure. We don't blame him. People make terrible mistakes all the time, like this dude who cleared his own job site.

This rattled guy's story about the bathroom break from hell itself, is made worse by the ensuing dialogue about his bathroom exploits to the rest of his office. His boss sounds like quite the chatterbox. Seems like he learned two lessons: double check those toilets for giant spiders, and keep your private information to yourself, unless you want the rest of the office to know about it. This is a serious TIFU story and I'm pretty sure I'd be traumatized from this. Poor guy. 

These people got some seriously unwanted attention from their parents at all the wrong times. Spilling secrets, putting them in awkward social situations, you name it. As you get older, your parents will never see you as an adult. You will always be a baby. And that's assuming they like you. Here are some more parents who embarrassed the hell out of their kids.

You might relate to these on a DEEPLY personal level. 

Here are a bunch of failure-tastic reasons to have someone else check your work.

What is there to say about being a teenager that we didn't wish we could forget already? Everyone does whatever they think will make them look cool. The problem is, that's hard to do when you don't have any real experiences, skills or personality. Everyone's flying blind. If this isn't enough to give you flashbacks to your blunder years, here are some more cringey high school moments.

Having a less-than-stellar day? Maybe learning about other people's wild misfortunes will put things in perspective. For more, check out fmylife.com

High School is either a time you never forget for the rest of your life, or if you're like most people, a time you'll try to forget for the rest of your life. It's a time when people make huge social mistakes and have none of the skills to make up for them. Here are some of the stories that keep people up at night.

You'd think that just because someone's over the age of 35, they'd have a healthy amount of humility and shame. If you thought that, you would be wrong. You would be very, very wrong. We've got grown-ups head-butting walls for candy, and self-respecting adults crying over parking spots. Smh.

The dumbest people have the most to say about how smart they are. Lucky us. 

It's one thing to be laughed at by your classmates, but when your teacher joins in, you know you're truly stupid.

These people very well might never want to date again. Time heals all though...

If you're living in a rented or bought house, it is sure to have memories of the past tenants. Although it doesn't cross our minds much, the houses we live in are full of memories, good and bad, of the people who lived there before us. Sometimes, more than just memories are left behind. These Redditors all found something unexpected in the houses they bought or rented, either spooky as hell or hilarious. Read on below and next time you move into a new house, don't say we didn't warn you if you find something weird.
