long embarrassing stories

I went on a first date to a fancy restaurant. I was so focused on impressing my date that I didn't notice there was a price tag on my new blazer. The waiter pointed it out in front of my date. I felt my face turn red instantly and it made the whole rest of the date really awkward.

Another approach could be to change the narrative. Instead of focusing on the embarrassing parts, highlight the positive outcomes or lessons learned. So, in a long embarrassing story about a failed project at work, you could say 'Although it didn't go as planned initially, it led to new ideas and better teamwork in the long run.'

Sometimes people share embarrassing long stories to bond with others. It shows that they are human and make mistakes, which can make others feel more comfortable around them. For instance, sharing a story about tripping on stage during a school play can make classmates laugh and feel closer to you.

Once, I went to a job interview. I was so nervous that when I stood up to shake hands with the interviewer, I accidentally knocked over my full cup of coffee. It splashed all over their important papers and my own resume. I was mortified as I tried to quickly clean it up with tissues, but it just made a bigger mess. The interviewer was nice about it, but needless to say, I didn't get the job.

A friend of mine went on a first date at a really nice restaurant. He wanted to impress the girl so he ordered a steak. When the steak came, he cut into it and it made a really loud noise like a squeaky toy. Everyone in the restaurant turned to look. He was so embarrassed but the girl just laughed. He said he could feel his face getting hotter by the second.

It varies. Some online newspapers might keep such stories for a short period, especially if they have a policy of focusing on more current and relevant news.

There was this time I went to a new restaurant. I was so excited about the food that I didn't realize my zipper was down the whole time I was ordering. When I finally noticed, the waiter was giving me a really strange look. It was so embarrassing.

Sure. Once I was at a job interview. I was so nervous that when I stood up to shake hands with the interviewer, I accidentally knocked over my glass of water which spilled all over their important papers. I was mortified and tried to clean it up clumsily while stuttering out apologies. It was really embarrassing and needless to say, I didn't get the job.

The element of public exposure often makes long embarrassing stories memorable. For example, when something embarrassing happens in front of a large group of people, it's hard to forget. Like that time I tripped and fell on the stage during a school play. Everyone saw it and it became a story that people still talk about years later.

Once I was on a plane and I accidentally spilled my drink all over myself just as the flight attendant was passing by. It was so embarrassing.
