I think the most embarrassing moment of my life happened when I was in 8th grade. As my schedule went, I had art one hour, then a computer course, and then speech class.

I had borrowed a bamboo cane from my art teacher as a prop for my speech class presentation. I was feeling lazy, so I just brought the cane with me to my computer class instead of putting it away in my locker.

I had put it down on the side of my work station. I sat in the back of the class, and I didn't realize that the cane was sticking off of the front of the table for quite a bit.

My computer teacher liked to walk around when he talked. When he came to my row, he walked right into the end of the cane, and it poked him in the groin. He winced, but continued his rounds without saying anything about the incident.

I thought that was kinda funny, so I began to giggle. The guy next to me hadn't seen what had happened, so he asked me why I was giggling. This teacher was very strict and didn't allow any talking in his class, so I gestured that my friend should open Microsoft Word, so I could type to him.

As I typed out the incident I was very specific about what happened and decribed in vulgar detail where the cane hit him. After a few seconds my friend began to giggle aswell, which caught my teacher's attention.

"What's so funny," he wanted to know, and briskly walked over to our desk. My friend quickly closed the window, while I was still fumbling around with the story on my screen. It was a race against time to close it.

I had clicked the little [X] in the corner, and I skimmed the warning. I thought it said "Are you sure you want to close without saving?" But it really said "Are you sure you want to save?"

I clicked "OK" and by then, my teacher was already standing straight behind me. He closed the save box, and read what I had typed. I swear, my heart was pounding so fast, I thought I was going to have a stroke, or heart attack! Not to mention all of the sweat pouring off of my brow!

He made me sit in front of the class, making non-stop eye contact with me for the rest of the hour! I couldn't look him in the eyes for a month! Unfortunately he's also my tennis coach!
