Embarrassing Stories
We asked eight first years:
Tell us your most embarrassing story.
After much deliberation, and coaxing, we came up with these answers:
“In public school I went to take off my snow pants and my pants came off too.”
–Howie Allen
“When I was in Guyana for missions, I was on a team of five people. One time the girl that was closest to my age-24-asked me if I could see through her dress to know whether or not it was suitable to wear. It caught me off guard and I didn’t really want to look, so I just said no. Later a local had told her that he could see through and it was awkward.”
–Tim Chester
“I was at the dinner table and I laughed so hard that I peed my pants. When I got up to take a shower, there was a puddle on the chair.”
–Stephanie Vincent
“I lost pool to Amanda Gray six games in a row.”
–Kyle Ireton
“I was at the theatre picking up tickets for a bunch of friends. When I was leaving, I went to push the door open but it turned out to be just a big pane of glass – not a door – and I walked right into it.”
–Daniel Sage
“My friends and I were going swimming and it was a race to get into the water first. I started tearing off my clothes, and I was in such a hurry I took off my bathing suit too. I ran into the cottage and stayed there the rest of the night.”
–Jolene Voskamp
“I was at Starstock and my friends were running ahead of me when we were leaving. They tore down a fence and I was the last to go through, but my shirt got caught and I got yanked back into the fence.”
–Mike Sanders
“I peed a friend’s bed in my sleep. I was 17.”
–Laurie Winfield
