One time I was drunk and instead of walking into my dorm room, I walked into some girl's room when she was making out with her BF. It was exactly like my room, except wrong floor 🙂
Even the furniture was arranged the same way, so I thought, WTF are they doing in my room. Then I checked the apt number, and it said room 101 instead of 201 🙂
The setting: High school Biology class. Oversized class, roughly 40 people with lotsa very cute girls. Desks were paired so you sat right next to your lab partner. My lab partner happened to be my friend Garth. I don't remember how this happened, but during my teacher's lecture I let a monster ripper that reverberated off the hard oak chair like a thunder clap in a marble room. At lighting speed, I turned to Garth and with a horrified expression on my face I loudly said, "GARTH!" The class errupted into complete mayhem. To this day everyone thought it was Garth. He was sooooo mad at me for so long. Haha.
Sorry Garth.
Sorry Garth.
Also I once fell asleep in the front row of a class, and started drooling. Everyone thought I passed out or something. It was an 8 am class, and since us EE's usually stay up till 3, it was a bad idea.
Everyone always sat in the back, but I thought that sitting in the front would keep me awake. 😉

Heheh. I had an 8am lit course one semester where it was all of 10 people and a grad student as the instructor/TA (let's call him "J."). Since it was so small, we got shoved into this one room with only a medium sized table, and this room was in one of the buildings open 24 hours. It wasn't too rare to find people taking up one of these rooms to study in the evenings and sometimes, early hours. One morning, the TA showed up to class and found some guy still in the room who fell asleep studying for an econ test, papers and everything spread all over the table. It happend that the next guy who showed up for class was the TA ("R.") for the guy sleeping ("M.") so he knew exactly what the material was, how the professor administered exams, etc. so the J and R hatched a plan:
R quietly went into the room, threw some writing on the board like "5 minutes left", "correction on question #17: label should be xxxx", etc. while J stood outside and waited for everyone to show up, then handed out copies of an old econ problem set that R had with him. Once everyone arrived, we snuck into the room without waking M, spread our papers like there was an exam, and put one of the problem sets in front of M. Then on cue, R loudly announced "Time's up, hand in your papers" and everyone did the traditional 'write down something fast' routine. Just as planned, M shot up, looked around in desparation since he saw everyone writing stuff down, handing stuff in, and here he had nothing on his paper.
Yeah, he caught on after a full minute, but the look on his face was priceless. 😀

Similar to me.
It was during an EE exam. The class was quiet and very concentrated. 20 mins into the session I let a big one rip. LOL!
Nothing big that I can think of, but I do remember one morning when I was walking down the steps in my dorm I had the urge to fart. I did a quick check to see if anyone was coming up or down, and then decided what the hell and let it rip. Only there was someone coming up the steps, and she was pretty attractive to boot. She just had this weird grin on her face, as did I probably, and as soon as I past her and got onto the next flight of stairs I just burst out into laughter. I felt like I was part of some TV show skit or something considering how perfectly everything worked out 🙂
I once had a class that started an hour later one day than the other. This is pretty rare, and I just totally forgot about it one day.
So I'm thinking I'm 10 minutes early for class, so I waltz right in holding my CD player listening to rage against the machine at the loudest possible volume. And we are talking loud. You could hear it from pretty far away. It only gets louder in a large lecture hall due to the echo. And I'm not listening to a peaceful song, we are talking people of the sun here, as ear grating as a song could possibly get.
The door is on the same wall as the professor, so I didnt even look. I think to myself wow, people are here early today! But I'm in my own little world, and a good few minutes go by while I take my coat off, get settled, standing up facing the back of the classroom as I get everything off. Eventually I sit down, take off my headphones, and after the whole class as well is staring at me and the professor gets up and nearly kicks me out the class I finally realize I was about 50 minutes late.
Just to give you a better mental image, this is a intro psych class filled with about 200 or so people. The professor is a 70 something british woman with white hair and bifocals and I have never ever seen her get mad. Picture your grandmother. She nearly chopped my head off. After sinking in my chair trying to play it down, the professor resumes teaching the class. The subject: The psychology of paying attention. 😀

On farting in class...
I had this prof last spring who was a bit gassy. Some of my friends sat near the front of the lecture hall and claimed he'd fart at least once a day. I didn't believe them, of course.
One night, for a review session, I decided to sit in the front row because my contacts were acting up. As the prof was writing out a solution, he paused, and let one fly. Except two things were different this time, one, the lecture hall was smaller, and two, this was LOUD. No one laughed though, I think we were all in shock and / or weren't quite sure of what we heard. Word got around that it WAS the prof who ripped one eventually.
A couple weeks later, he did it in class. This time, everyone knew it was him. He seemed a little embarassed, as we were mostly out of control at that point.
I didn't really feel bad for him, because he could be a bastard come midterm time.

I had some mildly embarassing moments in college, mostly all due to sleeping in class and falling off the chairs or farting in my sleep.
But one of the funniest was in high school during senior year. I had to take a dump really bad, so between classes, I went to an empty stall and proceeded to do my business. The bathroom was pretty big but the stankness of the dump was so horrible, that even I had to open up the window to let some clean air in, while I was sitting on the throne (window was right next to it). 3 or so minutes after I had sat down, several other guys came into the bathroom to take a piss or something and the smell hit them like a brick. The thing is, they didnt know I was still in the stall and they blamed a foreign non-english speaking kid of stinking the place up. The kid left, but the other guys kept syaing to each other "holy mother%^((% god, that is EVIL". I didnt dare to move or make any noise for fear of being humiliated. I waited till they all left, then wiped and left.
😀
there was this other time in 8th grade where like 10 classmates including myself were doing some group work. I let out an SBD, and continued to talk about the assignment. A few seconds later, the smell wafted to the rest of the participants and they ALL looked at the fat kid and started saying things like "goddamnit man". The fat kid (he was fairly popular tho, more so than I) was like "what the hell did I do?" Everyone pretty much just backed away from him. Of course, I had to join them in ridiculing him, otherwise they wouldve caught on...😀

Here's one for you econ majors *snickers*, my TA was going over public goods during discussion section. He was doing some graph and talking about public goods when some people in the class starting laughing. This went on for a couple of minutes until he realized that he was writing "pubic goods" on the blackboard.

Not terribly embarassing since I don't know who the other person was nor did he know who I was, but still funny.
Anyway, two years ago, when I still lived in a dorm with communal bathrooms, I was in one of the stalls doing my business one day. I farted a few times. Then a few times more and eventually started laughing softly. Apparently, there was another guy a few stalls down and he heard it and started laughing, too. I can't remember whether I hurried up and left before he did or waited until he left before leaving. Not really embarassing, but that's about the closest I've come in 2 1/2 years of college.

That would be when I thought nobody else was home and I was lookin for a pencil at our apartment.
I went into the bedroom of one of my roommates...and walked in on him and his girlfriend having sex. 😱
Later, he asked me why I didn't knock.
So I asked him why they weren't making more noise.
His answer:
"Good point!"

my worst one that will never leave my mind...
i was sitting in my room playing counterstrike. i have a 21" monitor and a HUGE set of earphones that cover over the whole ear. well, anyway, when i first started playing, the only person in the room was my roommate, and its impossible to embarass yourself in front of a roommate if you have the kind of relationship we had. well anyway, i was playing for what didnt seem like too long when i just let one go. and i could tell by the way it rippled off my cheeck that it was LOUD! i turned to smile at my roommate when WHOA! he had invited a couple girls who i know over to study and all three of them were just staring at me with these wierd looks on their faces. I turned back to my monitor and continued playing like nothing had happened. i was never able to look those girls in the eyes again 😱

Freshman year I had a review session for a final in some far off part of campus that I had never been to before... middle of the session, my stomach starts churning.. you know the kind of churn that comes, dies down and comes back twice as bad? I tried to hold it off until the review was over, but around the third churn I couldn't take it anymore.. I had to take an emergency dump. I left class, but the problem was, I didn't know where the closest bathroom was cause I was off in no mans land on campus. The stomach ache was so bad I couldn't walk properly, and small farts were coming out everytime I walked. Finally I asked this girl who was sitting on a nearby bench... as I ask the question I ripped a big one but I didn't care cause I had a bigger problem at hand... she luckily directed me to the closest bathroom. If she didn't known, I would have literally shat in my pants. Whew! Needless to say it was one of those sh*ts where your ass doesn't touch the seat before it starts pouring down.
Late for class, third floor, lots of stairs to climb.
So go bounding up the stairs, taking them like three at a time, lugging about 500 pounds of books and stuff. I'm cool, no problem.
I get to the very top f-cking step, actually its the floor of the third story, and I didn't quite make it. I just get a little nub of the tip of my shoe onto it. My foot slips off and I trip, try to catch myself, but end up doing one of those ass-over-tea kettle face plants in front of about 30 people. Man it hurt like a b-tch, too.
I used to fall asleep all the time in class, wake myself up by snoring real loud. Look around and everyone is laughing at me. I damned near fell out of my chair a few times. DOH!
Of course I didn't realize there was a problem then, but I find out several years later that I have narcolepsy. I was like "Ah, well that explains much."

Haha, I've done that about 10 times or better. Puddle of drool on my desk and a big red embossed area on my face.
