““About a month ago, I went to get my belly button pierced—I was so excited. I walked into the room where they do the pierc- ings, and a guy started preparing to sterilize the area. All of a sudden, he said, ‘Looks like we need to clean out your belly button as well!’ I looked down to see what he meant, and there was a big piece of lint lodged inside. I was so humiliated!” ”
“My friends and I were sitting at a lunch table at school, and my friend Courtney asked me to throw away her salad for her. I turned around and looked to see if I could reach the trash can without getting up, and it was just out of reach. I decided to lean back in my chair instead of getting up—but I leaned too far and fell backward! Everyone at my table, and at all of the tables around us, was laughing and pointing. I even saw a few kids take pictures with their camera phones! It was so embarrassing.”
