After a very heavy night in a ski resort, my friend and I were queuing for the gondolas 🚡. When we got to the head of the queue, I hopped in and my buddy followed. Unfortunately he had been holding in a disgraceful hangover fart and as he boarded the cabin, he paused in the doorway to release the demons, literally clinging to the sides of the entrance with his arse poking outside as he rid himself of the pestilence. This is when we found out that we were in a 4-seater gondola rather than a 2-seater … we’d boarded rather slowly so a burly Italian had launched himself forward to get in behind us, only to make contact with my friend’s protruding buttocks as he let fly.

My friend’s brilliant idea to avoid awkwardness inside the gondola was to immediately pretend to be asleep, as if we were on a train. The more the Italian guy glared, the more he scrunched up his eyes and peaceably snuffled. Eventually the guy snarled at us one last time and hopped out to begin skiing down. We’d gone through a couple of drop off points where the gondola had slowed right down when I realised we could barely go any higher and we’d have to get out at the next/final run. We’d had a half-day beginner lesson the day before and now we were at one of the highest runs on Mont Blanc/Monte Bianco. Getting down was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. We were completely beyond our ability and a danger to ourselves and others. That fart cost us nearly a day of holiday getting back to safety …

I always take the opportunity to change the privacy settings to “only me” on nearly all those that come up. It’s always cringe.

I was 18 and was catching a bus to my 1.90/hr factory job (another story). The bus pulled up and it was being driven by a very attractive woman. As I got on I said, loudly, "wow, a woman!" There were at least 4 other passengers on that bus, they must've been thinking "twat".

I don’t know why I find that hilarious, as a woman.

I didn’t know the meaning of the phrase ‘dropping the kids off at the pool’ My gf at the time messaged me whilst I was at work asking how I was and explaining that she was just dropping the kids off at the pool. The only kids in the family back then were here niece and nephew - their mum used to make me angry with her laziness and selfishness, and after a pretty rough day I went into a rant to several coworkers about my gf dropping the kids off at the pool. I had extremely strange and puzzled looks from said coworkers which I really didn’t understand until I got home and explained what happened to my gf. The funny thing is nobody ever mentioned it again, but I can only imagine the strange conversations half the office had with their partners that night about the strange guy in the office getting angry at his gf going fir a shit

That reminded me of a really awful one that happened to someone I know. Her relative had sadly lost her baby in late pregnancy and she called her brother to let him know, he freaked out and got really angry at the relative saying where did she lose him and how could she lose him. He thought she had lost his sister’s 1 year old baby as he was the baby of the family so was often called that in conversation. They laughed at him through the sadness at the terrible misunderstanding and how he reacted.

I’m a Muslim and I was asked to give a speech at my mate’s wedding. I’ve known him for 20 years and I was of few non-white individuals there. I have great banter with my mates and I’d frequently make joke’s stereotypical jokes (about myself). I, foolishly, decided to these same jokes during the speech. I initially got a laugh then the next 5 minutes felt like an hour. I got some awkward looks. As I finished my speech, I realised my error but I decided to end it with, “Well, you’ll be glad to know that in keeping with lazy stereotypes, I’ve just bombed!” They thankfully laughed!

Oh I generally win at this game. I unfortunately have bipolar disorder and during my hypomanic episodes I can do some pretty ridiculous things that I later regret/cringe over for the rest of eternity. One of my best ones was... It was roughly midnight one night, I had been hypomanic for a few days and barely slept. I decided wouldnt it be incredibly romantic if I turned up on my long distance girlfriends doorstep?? So I got up, went to the train station (in pyjamas and a coat), and caught 2 trains and a bus. I arrived outside her house roughly 3:30am. I knocked on the door, she answered, I declared my undying love for her, really sweet, really Romeo and Juliette style. She then slammed the door in my face and I never heard from her ever again. Upon reflection.. maybe it was the time of night? Maybe it's cause I was in my pyjamas? Or maybe it's because we had only been dating for 2 weeks.. either way, I cringe every single time I think of that moment, even 15 years later.

I came here to say something my BP hypomania had made me do haha. I did something similar, only I told him we had been together in a past life and that we promised each other we’d always find each other in the next. Yeah, he dumped me.

I and I bet most people have these crazy ideas and thoughts and you think "that would be so epic/hilarious/poetically inspiring" but at the same time thinking "yea but totally weird/dangerous/socially unacceptable". I'm guessing with bi polar manic phase, one of the things is that that filter is removed?

Reply

HannaaaLucie@reddit

Definitely. Everything that seems like a good idea is a good idea regardless, it's only after the hypo/mania fades that the regret/guilt/shame settles in. Like I didnt even realise what I had done was weird and socially unacceptable until nearly a week later. I think a lot of people with bipolar say the mania part is worse in a way than the depressive part because it leads to such reckless behaviour. Like, when I'm depressed it's awful, but at least I'm likely in my bed. Not out at stupid o'clock, getting myself into an eye watering amount of debt, doing something totally stupid.

My god I'm so sorry 😭 I think if I had it I'd spent every non-manic moment trying to crawl inside myself to try and completely disappear. It must build a thick skin I guess tho

Haha not super exciting! It was a Dutch rapper I was a big fan of growing up and I met him whilst working at a music event and I told him I used to be a fan, he asked which song I liked the most and I decided to rap it for him for some reason 🙃

I was at the airport sitting down and I thought my sister was next to me , had a Pringles fan in my hand and offered her the Pringles , as the girl was reaching for it I quickly realised it’s not her . So I quickly pulled the can back to me , idk why I did this ( maybe reflexes ) . This was so embarrassing I still think about this to this day , idk why I didn’t just let her take some .

Lots. 1.primary school, was the weird kid, used to swing round an apple that was attached to a lanyard. Not strange at all. 2. Once made a "romantic" gift for valentines by carving out a book (silence of the lambs no less) to make a box thing then in the middle wrote "roses are red, violets are blue, I'll guess you'll do" to this guy that I was in a "relationship" with (we were 16). He looked happy when he saw the book and mortified when he opened it lol. Got dumped a week later, the day after my birthday!! Bit savage but it was cringe 3. In more recent time, although I thought and still think it's funny, I used to wear cat ears on nights out and at the university library, saying "meow" here and there. 4. I currently meow, it's like a tick but it's funny and harmless. Friends and family mostly tolerate it as I try not to do it around people who wouldn't appreciate it.

It was 1992, I was 16, and at the pub with some friends, and it turned out that a good friend of mine (a fair bit older) was good friends with an actor from Neighbours. I not only told him that I had had a poster of him on my wall, I followed it up with "not now, of course, that was when I was 12, I've grown out of that." So not only was I sorta a cringey fan - and not actually a fan, it was a poster of the whole cast that I pulled out of Smash Hits like every girl did in the late 80s - I insulted him with the next sentence. I could hear the words coming out of my mouth and somehow just could not stop the treacherous bastards.

Too many things to count. I embrace it now. I remember getting tongue tied for the first time trying to tell Simon Green of Bonobo that his music had gotten me through tough times as a teen, that I'd waited years to be able to see him live and that I'd found his music on MySpace when searching his name on YouTube still largely favoured primates. He absolutely hated it, a lot! His percussionist looked at me in pity. I slinked away into the night. (I said none of those things, I stuttered about 10 words, sighed and left).

Play fighting with a major office crush when the two of us were in the lift at work. She went to fake a punch to my stomach but accidentally caught me, I tensed up and in doing so I let out a fart completely involuntarily. She froze and gave me a shocked look for a second. I quickly said “that wasn’t what you think it was, it was my shoe squeaking” and there’s not a chance she believed me.
