‘The morning after a night of clubbing,
my boyfriend was dropping me off at
home. Then he remembered he had
an appointment at the car dealership
where he worked and he was late, so
he turned around and drove straight
there. I had makeup smeared all over
my face and was still in my clothes from
the night before – a minidress and heels.
He told me to take off my heels so it
would look less like a walk of shame.
I put my shoes in a plastic bag and
sat in the reception area, barefoot,
waiting for him. The manager came
over and said, “Looks like you two
had a late night.” Then he said to
my BF, “Where did you pick up this
gem?” I was so embarrassed.’

‘Last summer, I went to the
beach and wanted to show
off with a back handspring. At
some point, my tampon string
came out of my bikini. During
my “performance”, someone
yelled, “I think you have
some toilet paper in your bikini
bottom.” I told them it was just
the string of my bikini. I wanted
to prove it, and it turns out that
it was actually my tampon...’

‘ONE NIGHT, MY GIRLS AND
I WERE OUT AND HANGING
WITH SOME OLDER GUYS
WHO WERE SO HOT. AT THE END
OF THE NIGHT, WE TOOK A SHOT
OF TEQUILA, AND I IMMEDIATELY
THREW UP ON A GUY’S COAT.
NO-ONE SAW. HE ENDED UP
DATING MY FRIEND AND STILL
TALKS ABOUT HOW “SOME GIRL”
THREW UP ON HIS COAT. OOPS.’
