<p>Has anyone had one of those days when in one of your classes, you're feeling kind of tired and you're in a bad mood, your teacher randomly calls on you, and you don't know what to say?</p>
<p>Yesterday I embarrassed myself to the max. My teacher called on me, I didn't know what the heck to say and of course every single person around me was waving their hands in the air because it was a really easy question, and I just couldn't think of the answer. Then I had to do the whole problem and the class sat in silence rustling and groaning for like 10 minutes while I went "umm... <em>wrong answer here</em>? umm ok, umm <em>another wrong answer here?</em>" over and over again and the teacher couldn't even hear what I was saying because I was mumbling.</p>
<p>I feel like everyone thinks I'm the dumbest person in the world now because it was a really easy problem and I was just incoherently mumbling and saying wrong answers while the teacher sat there yelling at me and acting all condescending.</p>
<p>I still feel really embarrassed about it today and I want to shrink into a hole or something because I feel like I will be known as the "dumb girl" to everyone and the teacher, even though I was just having a really bad day and my mind wasn't working. I feel like things like this only happen to me, I've seriously never witnessed anyone else experience embarrassing moments like this.</p>
<p>Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, please share so we can both feel better.
And how can I get over this, I feel horrible?</p>
<p>My teacher likes to incorporate random people in his examples in my Law Seminar class, so he of course says, "Let's assume <em>insert mine and ex-gf's name</em> are dating and kissing at the movie theatre when John walks up..." Yeah, most people in the class knew about it, so very, very awkward.</p>
<p>i had to do a presentation in french, and of course, i waited until the last minute to do it, so nothing was proofread. my project was on thomas beatie, the man who had a baby. anyway, instead of saying "Il n'a pas de p</p>
<p>Trust me, I've had loads of embarrassing moments like yours (not being able to answer the teacher). But everyone has a dumb moment now and then. I used to feel like it was only me ... but when you stop and pay attention, it happens to lots of people.</p>
<p>Hahahah. story of my life.
Especially since i have a REALLY hard time concentrating in some of my classes..to the point where I dont even hear the teacher call on me...haha</p>
<p>But usually we just laugh about it. It's kinda funny because everyone has those moments so we all joke around whenever that happens to people.</p>
<p>Glad I'm not the only one. I feel like I'm the only one at my school at least.</p>
<p>I hate when teachers use random calling. I am always incredibly nervous and shivering every minute of class in classes where I have random-calling teachers. I guess it helps me stay more alert, but the shivering and nerves could do away with. It also makes me dread and despise learning.</p>
<p>This might be a stupid question to ask, but will I have to face embarrassing moments in class like this in college too? Where the teacher uses random calling and you mumble and ramble on in response?</p>
<p>My math class always has the tendency to get silent right when I'm saying something really embarassing. Like today, for instance, I was imitating one of my high-pitched Romanian teachers, talking about Harry Potter. And right when I started talking, it got really silent, and I didn't notice, and I had this monologue about Harry Potter and Hogwarts in a high, Romanian accent, and I finally stopped when everyone was looking at me like I was crazy and the teacher was just standing there, stunned. Lol.</p>
<p>When you don't know the answer to something, you should just make a funny comment. Lol. So rather than people thinking you're just stupid, they will think that you may not know the stuff, but you are really funny. That's what I do, anyways. But my teachers are nice enough not to grill me about it.</p>
<p>Ok, well, this is something embarassing that happened in class...because my teacher called attention to it.
I was flirting with this guy that I like a lot, and I usually sit in the front of the class, am silent the entire time, and NEVER laugh. (Lol, that's just in class...) He and I kept laughing and talking and as the conversation came to an end, my teacher (who had apparently been watching us the whole time) embarassed me in front of everyone in the class...including the guy that I like...by saying, "ths2011! I've never heard you giggle so much in my life! asldjkl must have some sort of effect on you! asldjkl, isn't there something you'd like to ask ths2011? IT WAS SO EMBARASSING!!!!
Anyone ever had an experience like that?</p>
<p>And uh, I act stupid and call out retarded answers on purpose, I'm like the class clown usually.</p>
<p>Like today my English teacher was talking about 2 necessary poetic devices and I yelled out "Religious fervor in the holy name of Jesus Christ and Pikachu cookies" and got sent out of the classroom for 5 minutes.</p>
<p>Just got back from an AP test to a class without a teacher or TA. Was worried that the sub died or something. So I'm all panicky, because I was nervous about the teacher and the AP test, but everyone is having a good time and goofing around. Halfway through the period, I'm literally so nervous that I get ill and I begin to get jittery. Then, I totally puked on the girl in front of me. I ran out of school and didn't come back the rest of the week. Mainly because I got suspended for leaving school grounds.</p>
<p>Other than that, I forget how to speak English a lot and it comes out really broken. Especially by the end of the day, my brain just gives up and I sound like a foreigner. I've had many people who couldn't understand a word of what I was saying.</p>
<p>^ omg if you're serious about the AP story :| </p>
<p>referring back to the first post, couldn't you have just said 'oh I'm sorry, I'm so tired. could you repeat that?'
yeah, I couldn't ever either. It's a risk too, and I just don't have the dignity to admit I'm confused. all the same, I don't understand why I subconsciously think it's better for everyone to think I'm a complete idiot.
yeah, I get asked questions all the time. I hate when people stage-whisper the answer because then the teacher knows I don't know and I'll just repeat what the person said and...yeah. You guys must know what I'm talking about lol. Must I continue? ;)</p>
<p>recently in class we had quiet time haha to read our books or do homework and this kid just farted and it was loud and it was so hard to contain my laughter and i felt bad and everyone was looking around to who did it</p>
