Cringeworthy Memes You’ll Secretly Love and Appreciate

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times people have rolled their eyes and kissed their teeth after I told them a pun. If you’re like me, you anticipate and get a kick out of this reaction.

Here are 11 pun memes that will be entertaining to share with friends who have no chill.

1. He asked for it

This is an awesome clapback to that friend who always says “it could be worse” after you vent about your problems.

2. Really, bro?

Just when you thought bro-talk was getting out hand. (Trying to think of of a pun for “broke”)

3. Illegible

If she meant the word, she should have said so. Clarity is important.

4. Catholic English teacher

At least a bad joke breaks up the monotony of confession for the priest.

5. Orange you glad?

I’m convinced an English teacher must have sent this one.

6. Poor tree

Not even trees are safe from the wrath of the pun-teller.

7. Denise

Dang. Why I couldn’t have thought of this when I was suggesting names for my niece?

8. Animal crackers

Does the animal kingdom know they are a tool for cheesy text jokes? If yes, do they care?

9. True Hell

But even we do-gooders on earth have to deal with this. How is that fair?

Image Credit: Cheezburger

10. Well deserved

That’ll teach you for being anti-science — and anti-literacy.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

11. Clever

He should get points for working heart health advocacy into this joke, though, right?

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Making a pun funny is all in the delivery and context. Don’t forget to read the room!

Share a time a friend or family member bombed after telling a pun.

Nostalgic Things You’ll Remember if You Grew Up in the 1990s

Oh, the 1990s. It was a great time to be a pre-teen and teenager. I thought I was so cool and loved expressing myself with the trends of that time.

Here are 10 images that will take you right back to the ’90s.

1. Elephant pants

Why oh why was this a thing? They were cool at the time, though, I swear!

Image Credit: Someecards

2. More elephant pants

I didn’t have a pair of these, but my friend did and the bottoms were always filthy and ripped from dragging on the floor!

Image Credit: Someecards

I remember this catalogue and was convinced I needed a bunch of the items in it (I didn’t).

Image Credit: Someecards

4. Fashion forward

I remember in ballet my classmate always had the coolest bobbles on her bun just like these! And I had about four of those chokers.

Image Credit: Someecards

5. Bath beads

I used to play with these in the store while my mom shopped. They looked and felt so cool!

Image Credit: Someecards

6. Coolest pencil case

Back to School shopping required a new Spacemaker pencil case every year.

Image Credit: Someecards

7. UGH!

It’s a wonder my eyebrows grew back, to be honest. I seldom plucked them, but when I did I went really overboard!

Image Credit: Someecards

8. Dial up…

I can still see each part of the image slowly coming down as I waited patiently. Now I can wait for anything!

Image Credit: Someecards

9. Butterfly clips

Don’t forget to keep two pieces of your hair hanging down on the side of your face.

Image Credit: Someecards

10. Vests, vests, vests

To be fair, these were at least better than the applique vests. Remember those?

Image Credit: Someecards

Sometimes thinking back on the ’90s makes me cringe, but I usually just smile.

What object screams ’90s to you when you see an image of it? Tell us in the comments.

People Share the Uncomfortable Things They’ve Seen Couples Do at Their Weddings

The older you get, the more weddings you have to go to.

Your friends and family members get married and you kind of become an old hand at it. And with that experience, you also see the good, the bad, and the ugly.

And you also see the AWKWARD.

What’s the most cringeworthy thing you’ve seen a couple do on their wedding day?

Here’s what folks had to say on AskReddit.

1. A terrible idea.

“They sang their vows to each other.

Neither had a singing voice.

Vows were generally bat sh*t crazy, like submissive in the bedroom, and not asking about where she was going.

The autotune microphones were a terrible idea.

Their vow songs shared a chorus and it was awful and they expected the guests to sing along with the chorus.

The vows singing lasted 20 minutes.

Pure cringe.”

2. A trashy affair.

“My friend got pregnant at 20 with a piece of sh*t guy so they got married.

It was me, our friend, her mom and then just the two of them.. they got married in some random lady’s house, we sat on computer chairs in a small living room with the ladies dogs sniffing us and barking. The whole thing lasted maybe 5 or 10 minutes.

After we proceeded to take wedding pictures in the parking lot of a Dollar Store and then we got McDonald’s. I made a little bouquet out of some ferns and leaves that were in the McDonald’s parking lot, she threw the bouquet and it ended up getting run over by someone going to the drive thru.

Lol needless to say, it was a trashy affair and their marriage didn’t last long.”

3. Third time’s a charm.

“When I was 11 my cousin got married for the third time.

I never really liked her because A.) She was 37 when I was 11, we didn’t have a lot in common and B.) She was pretty full of herself. The wedding itself was fine, pretty boring but fine. Then we get to the reception.

We were told we had to sit down as soon as we got there, some people found it weird but I’ve only been to one other wedding before this (her other marriages were when I was little, no kids were allowed at her weddings) so I didn’t think anything of it.

The Bride and Groom then make a huge dramatic entrance and everyone awkwardly clapped for them as they strutted around the room with actual crowns on their heads. The Bride then gets the microphone and hands it to her mom and asks her to say something she loves about the bride.

She then tells her mom to pass it on and says she wants EVERYONE in the room to say one thing they absolutely love about the bride. Not the bride and groom, not their relationship, just the bride herself. It was super awkward.”

4. That’s way too much.

“They reenacted a scene from an old romantic film, about two lovers in 1800s.

In front of like 300 people.”

5. Sounds amazing.

“It’s a tie between my sister breaking her knee (seriously) at her own wedding dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe and my stepsister having her reception at an honest to god truck stop while 6 months pregnant.

In her defense, the food was good but WOW was it weird walking through a gas station in formal wear.”

6. Pledge your allegiance.

“At the beginning of the reception, we all had to stand up and sing the national anthem.

To be clear, this was in another country I’d never been to a wedding in before, so I thought “ok maybe this is just a tradition I’ve never heard of before here!” Then I told this to other people, and they were all like “no, that’s just really weird.”

Also, at that wedding the father of the groom ended his speech with what I’m sure he thought was an amazing joke, on how it’s easier to build a bridge to Hawaii than to understand what a woman is thinking.

It would have been awkward enough had the man not also been standing between his ex and current wife as he was delivering it.”

7. Sounds like a hoot.

“Serve macaroni and cheese only to the bridal party. Everyone else got mashed potatoes.

I was a hostess so I got macaroni and cheese, after tasting it there was no way in hell they would’ve broken the bank preparing enough for everyone.

It was just really tacky because people were asking for it and I told them I didn’t know much about it I am just following directions.”

8. Freedom!

“Bride entered to Braveheart soundtrack blasting on boom box. Civil service that lasted a few minutes starting at around 1 pm.

She leaves to same blasting Braveheart soundtrack. The mother announces that the reception starts at 5:30 pm. There is no food and no bar, but trays of dessert bars will be served. We are also told the venue is locked until then so there is no place to wait!

My girlfriend and I leave with a crowd of people to across the street to an Irish pub for drinks. A bit of a party breaks out there. We all get told to knock it off and come wait back at the venue in the hall. So we sit in the hall on the carpet for a few hours without drinks or dinner.

Bride and groom arrive and enter the venue to an “honour guard” of floor hockey players wearing hockey jerseys and holding sticks above their heads like swords at a royal wedding. More Braveheart music of course.

Place emptied out pretty quick as people either left to go back to the pub or to the fast food place a bit further away. Our dinner was lemon squares and a can of Coke from a vending machine in the lobby.

Funny stuff.”

9. Cringeworthy.

“The bride decided to sing as she walked down the aisle.

She was not a particularly talented singer, and she was singing over a Carrie Underwood song so we could all hear the original vocal track.

She finished walking about halfway through the song and then stood there and sang the rest of the song at the groom and all we could do was sit there and watch.”

10. Total disaster.

“They began the wedding with the groom playing an out of tune guitar and singing to the bride.

They were sitting on chairs in front of everyone, legit 400 people, and the bride was clearly uncomfortable which made everyone else uncomfortable. That wedding also included a foot washing ceremony, and when the bride put her shoes back on she tripped on her dress and fell flat on her face.

They hadn’t done the vows yet and the ceremony stopped for 20 minutes to deal with the nosebleed she gave herself.”

11. Over before it started.

“Bride shows up almost 2 hours late to her own wedding. Southern California in an open field no water no shade.

She shows up and wants to get married in her yoga outfit. The groom shut it down and when she refused to change her clothes the groom decided to leave her looking stupid and they never got married.

I spoke with my uncle and it turns out he had speculation that his fiancé was sleeping with her personal trainer. When she showed up in her yoga outfit it was all he needed to call off the wedding. She ended up married to her personal trainer and divorced again.”

12. Bizarre.

“The ceremony also was the “Name Reveal”.

They changed their last name because they didn’t want to be stuck to their heritage and didn’t want anything to hold them back.

Turns out they changed their name thinking they could erase their mountains of debt or at least hide from it. Turns out you can’t live under two legal identities….”

13. Livin’ that vape life.

“Instead of throwing rice (or confetti, or sprinkles, or anything like that) the bride and groom asked their friends to save all their empty Juul pods and throw those as they walked down the aisle.

The friends obliged.”

Okay, you’re up!

In the comments, tell us about the awkward things that you’ve seen brides and grooms do at weddings.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

What “Cool” Things You Did as a Kid Now Make You Cringe? Here’s What People Had to Say.

We all have those experiences where coming of age can be…awkward…

You think you’re cool when you’re about 16 and then you look back on that time when you’re 25 and you cringe…

And then you look back on 25 when you’re 40 and you cringe even more…

I guess what I’m trying to say is that life is a non-stop cringe-fest.

What are things you did as a kid you thought were cool but now make you cringe?

Let’s see what these folks had to say on AskReddit.

1. What’s wrong with you?

“I thought raising my eyebrow at every little thing made me look cool.

Looking back, it looked like I had problems.”

2. Liar!

“Grade 1 I took one of those chocolate coins in gold foil, put a hole in it and ran a string through, and tied er around my neck

Went to school bragging I won a medal in a hockey tournament…SMH…”

3. A big “UGH.”

“I used to wear padlocks on my belt loops.

For extra stupid, they were padlocks I’d busted off the lockers in PE class with a shoe.

So there I was walking around with four or so padlocks dangling from the belt loops of my JNCOs.

Ugh.”

4. Karate kid.

“I remember signing up for a martial arts class and wearing a black and red gi and a red belt on my first day thinking I would look totally bad *ss.

My instructor made me take off the belt and gi top and told me to never do that again.”

5. Breakin’.

“I would breakdance in front of my large family at every event I could.

Unfortunately my father likes to film things for memory so every so often I am reminded of my god awful dance moves as a 10 year old when we watch old home videos.

I would also do finger guns at the camera afterwards like I was the best dancer ever filmed.”

6. Very stylish.

“Wore a brown suede jacket with a Hawaiian shirt to my senior picture day.

By jacket, I mean blazer, and it was too big with a very 90s cut to it – nothing remotely “cool leather jacket” about it. Also, dug out the old yearbook. It’s worse than I remember: it was not suede, it was microfiber faux suede.

But I very much appreciate the approval of the concept.”

7. That’s impressive.

“I thought I’d look so cool and bad*ss drinking orange juice while eating mints at the same time without flinching or gagging.

I did this at school and at various events.

Thanks to that, I can now handle doing that no problem but it’s bad knowing why it doesn’t bother me.”

8. What’s wrong with you?

“I remember watching some kind of anime where this dude would smack a tree with a stick for hours to train. So that’s what I did.

In my free time I would go in my backyard and whack my tree for hours with a stick.

I thought I was bad*ss, my parents probably thought I was crazy.”

9. Rock star.

“Apparently bandanas looked cool (was into guns and roses as young teen)…

But it wasn’t a proper one, it was my granny’s neck scarf LOL.”

10. It’s okay, you were bored.

“I lived in an apartment growing up. I thought it was hilarious to stand in the entry way of the apartment building as still as possible facing a wall, wearing an oversized t-shirt that covered the pair of shorts I had on, and then wear pants around my ankles…

I was a bored kid…”

11. Getting dark.

“One of my senior photos is actually me in leather with a sword in the middle of a cemetery.

It’s still a cool photo but it’s like “yeah… No”.”

12. Dumb move!

“While Mom was busy at the bank teller’s window, I spotted a long row of light switches in a remote area of the lobby.

As a bad*ss kid, I reached up and turned off the entire row, plunging the bank in darkness.

That, in turn, called the cops because bank staff thought the place was being robbed!”

13. Ouch!

“At around 8-9y/o, I decided I wanted vampire fangs. Best way to accomplish this? Grind my canine teeth with rocks.

Literally cringe as an adult, because they still occasionally sear with pain from a mistake made in a single afternoon.”

14. Major poppin’ going on.

“I used to wear two Hollister shirts with both collars popped up all the time.

I hate looking at those pictures in my moms house.”

Okay, now it’s time to embarrass yourself.

In the comments, tell us about the things you did as a kid that now make you cringe.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

People Share Totally Embarrassing Memories They Can’t Forget About

This could be a little painful, so buckle up.

We all have certain memories from our past that still make us cringe in a major way. Maybe it happened in school, or at your first job, or when you tried to ask someone out on a date and they humiliated you in front of a big group of people.

Good times!

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about the memories that still embarrass the to this day.

1. Not a great opening line.

“I was interested in a guy but didn’t know how to start a conversation with him.

We were standing next to each other while preparing food for a barbecue and I just thought it was a good idea to start a conversation with “I like the feeling of touching raw meat”.”

2. School days…

“This was in school.

We were playing a game where one person chased everyone else, and when they touched you, you had to go “to jail”. That meant, you had to put your arms inside the torso part of your sweater, and the sleeves got tied around a pole. You had to get loose to be free again, either on your own or by the help of someone else.

I think I was about 11 at the time. I got caught and tied to a pole, but I was wearing a hoodie with a zipper, so I felt incredibly smart when I unzipped it from the inside and ran away shouting “HA!”

Thing is, I had forgotten to put on a T-shirt under the hoodie, and I was an early bloomer, so I basically showed the whole school yard my recently grown tits. Shudder.”

3. Still haunted.

“When I was 16 I got set up with a family friend’s daughter. We started dating in a long distance relationship. After a month or so it was school holidays and I went up to visit her. I didn’t have alot of money but I wanted to buy her a gift. A settled on a beautiful jig saw puzzle.

She wasn’t too happy about the gift. Because she was blind. Yes I bought my blind girlfriend a jigsaw puzzle. In the moment it seemed very appropriate because each piece was unique right? She can feel the pieces rights?? Pure effing cringe. Still haunts me.”

4. Didn’t know any better.

“I grew up in an extremely sheltered household so my brain just didn’t understand/know what racism was and we were trying to pick teams for basket ball and I tried to ‘organise by colour’.

I was a stupid child.”

5. Today’s Halloween, right?

“In 5th grade I went to school on Halloween Costume Day completely dressed up like a pirate. Makeup, costume, hair, everything.

Walked into school only to realize no one else was wearing a costume and that dress up day was tomorrow. Had to wait until lunch for my mom to bring me new clothes.”

6. That’s bizarre.

“The time my internet access was shot over a weekend, so I went to work as usual on Monday, and stayed and worked all day, and only found out I’d been fired the week before when I got home.

Small, very high-profile business. Everyone was acting weird all day.

I soft-broil myself to sleep in this memory.”

7. Not a great answer.

“Definitely that time my professor asked what I did over the summer, and I wanted to say “hanging around” and “catching up with sleep”. All I managed to blurt out was “sleeping around.”

That wasn’t even true!!”

8. Oh no!

“Once got my period in the middle of a scene in a junior school play.

I was 12/13.

That shit sucks.”

9. You blew it!

“When I was 16 I offered to take a girl I liked to the movies.

I approached the ticket counter and asked for one movie ticket, immediately realized I was an idiot, but was too embarrassed to rectify my mistake. She purchased her own ticket to the movie.

Still haunts me almost 10 years later…”

10. DRUNK.

“I was a bit drunk at a friend’s wedding and decided to scrawl all over two pages of her wedding book to fill up some space.

Later someone was looking at the book and I heard them say “Look at this! What sort of person does that?”.

I still feel bad when I think about it.”

11. Hahaha! Amazing!

“Went for an interview and handed the person my coat when they were trying to shake my hand.”

12. Almost made it.

“Trying to run away from home when I was six only to stop at the start of the driveway because I was always told that it was dangerous to walk on the street without an adult.

My parents have this really nice photo of me, with my little backpack, standing there looking really conflicted.”

13. You might have a problem.

“I fell into a fountain, not once but three different times in three different fountains, on a trip to Europe with a group of kids from school when I was In seventh grade.

Of course my crush and his friends went on this trip and they preceded to call me fountain girl till high school graduation.”

14. I knew a story like this was coming.

“Farted in class during a test back in middle school.

Everybody knew it was me but I was too awkward to confirm or deny it so I just acted oblivious. That fart must’ve been pretty awful because a bunch of classmates around me covered their noses with their shirts and the teacher cracked open a window.

Just the complete awkward silence that followed the fart and the feeling of everybody staring at me in disgust still makes me shudder with cringe whenever I think about it.”

15. This is terrible.

“We weren’t allowed to sleep with our doors shut.

I woke up earlier than everyone else most days and on this day decided to rub one out before everyone woke up. Grabbed the lotion, put it under my second pillow all smooth-like so no one would see it if they walked by. About half way through the deed my Aunt (raised me) rips her door open (which is positioned about 15 feet directly across the hall from my room and perfect view to my bed).

I was so f$@&ing scared that I literally sat straight up, one hand under the covers.. she saw me and goes, ‘heyyy….?’ and starts walking over. I sat there frozen, like I saw a bus speeding directly at me but I couldn’t move, junk still in hand..

She comes in my room and goes ‘whats going on sweety, are you okay? I just awkwardly say ‘yeah, you just scared me’. She laughs and sits on the bed next to me – directly on the pillow and hears a crunch.. looks at me, stands up and picks up the pillow, looks back at me (im mortified) and starts walking out.

She didn’t even turn back to look at me, just grabs the door to shut it and says, I think you’re old enough to sleep with this closed now’ I didn’t leave my room all day……..”

Those are great!

And painful…and we apologize for your suffering.

Okay, now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, please share a cringeworthy memory from your past that you can’t seem to shake.

We look forward to hearing from you.

People Share Cringeworthy Moments From Their Past That Still Haunt Them Today

I have some memories from my younger days that just make me hang my head in shame and say to myself, “what the hell were you thinking, you IDIOT!”

Hey, we all have them.

And even though they’re still somewhat painful and embarrassing, it’s good to look back and laugh…if you can…

Folks on AskReddit opened up about the cringey memories they can’t seem to get rid of.

1. We can work on that!

“So for context I went to a really sheltered Catholic high school. So didn’t really know how the real world worked.

My first job when I was 16 and I’m being introduced to all my co-workers. On of them named Maurice (who was obviously homosexual) asked me if I was too.

I wasn’t but wanted to let him know I was cool with it ( again Catholic high school) and said “no but I’m open minded about it”.

To which he responded “we’re gonna work on that”. What an awkward summer. I cringe every time.”

2. Sleeping in class.

“I fell asleep in my high school history class, I was all the way in the back of the room so the teacher never noticed.

Until I farted in my sleep so loud that it woke me up and my head shot up and smacked against the back wall. Never heard the end of it

At the time nobody really reacted. Except the guy in front of me was just kind of shaking, he turned around to look at me and was laughing so hard he was crying. Also should mention my crush was two seats over.”

3. A nice ending.

“In the first grade I moved to a new school in a small town. Two months in I would literally lose bowel function for no apparent reason. Totally watery and intense abdominal cramps. I was shy and didn’t have any friends yet. I was embarrassed and would just sit there in my own mess until the teacher noticed.

This went on every day. Eventually they sent me to the principles office and the nurse, teacher, and my parents thought I was just seeking attention. Despite packing 2 new pairs of undies and pants each day I would still be soaked at the end of the day.

Over the next 2 weeks I kept getting in trouble. I was held in from recess and had to sit in the hallway alone when I ran out of clothes for the day.

I had to eat lunch alone and spent at least half of my days sitting by myself in the hallway staring at the wall.

When my parents finally took me to the doctor they found a strange intestinal infection with no cure. It eventually went away.

So for 1 month in a new school I was that shy weird kid who smelled bad and couldn’t participate in any activities.

I graduated HS 12 years later with the same small class of students.

It wasn’t until my 10 year class reunion that one of my classmates (now a nurse) told me they all felt so bad for me and never brought it up because they felt like I was being abused when they saw me sitting alone in the hall in my soaked clothing.

This restored my faith in how kind other kids can be.”

4. Called out.

“I was bullshitting my way through a presentation in college on tanks in World War 2 and this kid just got so sick of my shit that he called out from the back of the class and corrected me in front of the whole class while my professor avoided eye contact with me.”

5. Gift cards!

“So my mom had won this prize at a big shopping center. She was allowed to take 3 guests for a day of shopping that included gift cards at various stores and a $250 gift card at a restaurant of her choice for us to eat at. Anyways, it was a big deal and they had a film crew come and tape some of it for their website.

The reporter lady comes up to me when the food arrives and she’s like “that looks fantastic, what’d you get?” And I was caught off guard so I look at the camera and go “GIFT CARDS!”

Ultimate cringe and it took me about half a second to realize what she meant. When I think about it now at least I can laugh about it.”

6. Still cringing.

“I’m a Canadian and we had this show in the 2000’s called Radio Free Roscoe. I was obsessed with this show! I watched it religiously on the Family Channel. My aunt had a friend who was a makeup artist for the show and so she managed to get us on set to meet the cast and visit all the different places.

My 11 year old self was ecstatic! It was the most incredible thing to happen to me. My brother and make cousin went with us

We get to the set and it’s amazing and everything I had hoped it would be. We got to see them film a scene and see all the behind the scenes stuff, it was incredible. We went to do the meet and greet with the cast and I was so nervous but excited.

I’m an awkward girl and super oblivious especially when I’m nervous. Kate Todd (the female co-star) was being super sweet with me because I was the only girl in our group. She called me over to sit with her for the photos and used her hand to pat the seat beside her. Being oblivious I missed the seat pat and went and sat directly on her lap.

I’m 27 years old now and I still remember her saying “Oh! Um, Okay” in a super surprised voice. I was mortified that I just sat on her damn lap like a baby instead of beside her like she intended. I honestly couldn’t look anyone in the eyes again after that.

I still cringe to this day thinking about sitting on her damn lap. She was super sweet about it but I knew I had fucked up.”

7. Sorry, Colin…

“This guy in one of my classes in 8th grade I was friendly with bc he didn’t seem to be good friends with anyone else in the class. He was a nice kid just maybe a little awkward but we had good conversations about LotR so hey.

Then one day at the end of the period we were both packing up our stuff and he says “Hey, do you want to go out with me next Wednesday?”

Wasn’t interested in him that way, and I was so off guard that I froze like a deer in the headlights until I finally stammered “Uh, I think my mom has planssorrybye.” And basically ran out of the room. I still feel bad about it, every time I saw him in middle school and high school after that I felt terrible.

Sorry Colin.”

8. This is really bad.

“Oh man.

Some context, my best friend growing up was black. We were inseparable, we wanted to make video games together when we grew up, all that. Well, he went with me and another member of my family to the store.

As we were driving, a man nearly ran into my other family member’s car, and my other family member shouted, “F-ing n-er!” It got quiet in the car, then my other family member said to my best friend in the back, “You’re not the n-er I was talking to,” as a way to apologize.

I was young, but even then I knew something awful had happened. It completely changed how I looked at my other family member and how my best friend looked at my family. We stayed friends but I had to hang out at his house since he stopped coming to mine. Couldn’t blame him.

Super-cringy, life-changing.”

9. Bloody awful.

“My sons and their friend kicked their ball into the middle of a little pond at our local park. I let them use my walking stick to try get it out but they couldn’t quite reach. A man passing by with his son offered to help.

He got the ball but dropped my stick. As he was reaching for the stick he fell in! He laughed, we laughed and he went off home to dry up. He returned 10 mins later because once he got home he realised his phone was missing. His phone that contained baby pics of his son and newborn at home. We tried so hard to find that damn phone.

I still feel bloody awful.”

10. My idol…

“So when I was 8 or so, some of my parents’ friends came over, and they brought their son, who was a few years older than me. I used to really idolize that kid for some reason…he just seemed cool and was always friendly toward me.

So this particular day I happened to be lounging around in my pajamas watching television and I hadn’t expected company. I don’t know why, because wearing pajamas (especially as an 8-year-old boy) is not that big of a thing, but I was absolutely mortified when the kid came into the room to say hi.

So I ended up running to the closet nearby and shutting the door. This was right in front of the kid. My parents couldn’t get me out. The kid came up and through the door was like, “that’s totally fine, bud, there’s nothing for you to be embarrassed about, come out and play. If you want you can go change first.”

But I wasn’t having any of it. I was by this point more embarrassed about my reaction than being “caught” in pajamas, so I couldn’t bring myself to come out until the kid and his parents left like two hours later.”

11. Saying dumb stuff.

“I was in my early 20s, had a girlfriend of 3 years and we were like 2 years into our relationship, and one time after we had sex I said, and I still don’t know what possessed me to say this, god this is so embarrassing… I said, “where are you gonna find dick this good?”

It was so awkward. And I think about it like once a month because it is easily the dumbest thing I have ever said, and it makes me cringe so bad.

Someone punch me in the face.”

12. That’s pretty bad.

“Doing a practice for a play in front of a small crowd of like maybe 35 – 50 people when I sh*t my pants.

Middle of my lines a felt the wetness and had to run off stage. I kept myself locked in a room the rest of the day.”

13. Forgot she was there.

“The very first night my now wife spent at my place (had only been dating a week, but I was SUPER into her) we got shitty drunk before bed … the next morning I forgot she was there (still technically drunk) and ripped a once in a lifetime epic fart that was both echoing through the hallways and melting paint off the walls.

I remembered she was there when she audibly laughed and said “oh my God!” I pretended to still be asleep instead of addressing it. To this day I’m amazed she stuck around after that, but we’re now happily married.

Anyone that can survive that and still stick around is definitely a keeper … even if she still loves telling people that story years later.”

14. It was you…

“So I was having a psychological evaluation for a military school, the psychologist gave me two pieces of paper to draw a male and a female and name them. The male one was easy, I just have to draw myself and use my own name.

I was having difficulty drawing a female and couldn’t think fast so my stupid ass drew the psychologist because she was cute.

Then came the part where she started asking about the drawing, the male part went smoothly, when she asked about the name of the female I said “Actually it was you” (plus a smirk) then she straight up wrote the name of the drawing “Actually it was you”.

I still cringe about it up to now.”

15. Family vacation.

“Was a kid (10) in a family vacation in Hong Kong and we were all in a souvenir store. I was walking around with my brother (9) trying to find a cool toy to buy. It took me long enough to find one, but I was proud that I found it.

I was amused by it and started talking about it to him. It was a large strechy and bouncy toy that had a cartoonish face one it. I was saying things like “Wow! This is so cool!” and proceeded to make the toy bounce a lot. I brought the toy towards my brother’s face and shouted “BOING BOING BOING” and that’s when I realized that I wasn’t talking to my brother anymore.

It was a Chinese boy, assumably 10-12 years old. He stared at me with the most serious face ever. I legit felt so ashamed, and ran away. I didn’t bother to get the toy anymore.

I have never been so traumatized in my life that until this day I still think about that Chinese boy’s poker face.”

16. Did it work, though?

“Yelling at the top of my lungs “we are looking for love!”

At a homeschooler cookout when I was 13 to a group of girls… Raised my soda and everything.”

Ouch…we feel you, friends…and we hope you forget about those incidents very soon.

How about you?

Do you have a specific memory that still really makes you cringe today?

15 Trends People Followed as Kids That Make Them Cringe Today

Remember the days when you were young? What was the “cool” trend back then? For me, it was playing with POGS, listening to West Coast gangsta rap (RIP Tupac!) and wearing FUBU jeans.

AskReddit users bravely went on the record and shared the trends they got wrapped up in as youngsters that now make them cringe.

1. ’80s?

“In my day, we put as much gel in our hair as we could and angled it up like a ski slope. Hair was solid as a rock.”

2. Hahahaha

“Wearing skirts over jeans 🙁 “

3. Those were HUGE

“Big Johnson t-shirts…. damn I was a douche.”

4. This is amazing

“I grew up on a farm outside of a small town (population was just over 500) in the Midwest. The nearest hot topic was two hours away, but I wasn’t allowed to go in it anyways. Ever seen an emo kid on a horse sorting cattle? Wore knee high converses instead of my boots. And the eyeliner…oh god the eyeliner.”

5. They were EVERYWHERE

“The Ed Hardy T-shirts.”

6. Punk rock

“Studded belts. Studded belts everywhere.”

7. I remember…

“Late ’90s when everything had stripes on the side. Shirts, jeans… Yeah that and the ball chain necklace.”

8. She did you a favor

“For me, JNCOs. I wanted a chain wallet, but my mom wouldn’t let me have one. I now understand why.”

9. Preppy

“Nothing said suave like a popped collar on a Ralph Lauren polo shirt.”

10. The point?

“Early 2000’s when wearing two belts was a thing for a bit. Neither in the belt loops, totally nonfunctional.”

11. Glitter everywhere

“I used Bath & Body Works roll on glitter religiously (Cucumber Melon obviously). But I used so much of it that instead of having a little sparkle under my eyes, my skin was tinted green and caked with glitter.”

12. Your role model

“I used to wear those black button down shirts with fire at the bottom, like the kind Guy Fieri wears. I don’t know if it was an actual trend or not but it still makes me cringe.”

13. You had your time

“I mean really looking at it now. Crotch chopping and telling people to suck it was really my generation’s version of “The Dab.”

14. Breakin’

“Those nylon breakdancing pants with all the zippers. Those zippers hurt.”

15. Pure ’90s

“I bought into the classic ’90s trends that immediately come to mind. the butterfly clips, frosted lips and eyes, platform shoes… all very spice girls. i am having to relive it because my 12 year old is now into the same things. except instead of pulling back strands of hair with butterfly clips, she’s clipping them haphazardly throughout her entire mane. i cannot wait for the trend to die!”
