So I just completed a college course with a solid A, but received my final essay grade and found out it was a D. Confused, I started to read into the details and then came to a horrifying realization:
Microsoft Office uploaded my most recent document instead of the essay. So instead of getting an analysis of why Robert E. Lee resigned his United States Army commission and eventually joined the Confederacy, my professor read and graded a 40k story I wrote for my own amusement.

Tl;dr what's the most embarrassing thing you ever did involving school, college or otherwise? I need the group therapy right now.

I'm not going to lie, the first thing that comes to mind right now is a  Gloriana-class virus bombing the absolute fuck out of Savannah. I feel like I would have given that a C just for creativity during my short stint as a TA.

At any rate, the most embarrassing thing I ever did was get shitfaced, channel my inner house sparrow, and walk into a glass door. In my defense, that door was very fucking clean. In the door's defense, on the other hand, I was being very fucking retarded.
 
When I was like 16 I became a hardcore ancapistani. I was extremely into it and was constantly trying to debate and convince other people. At some point there was a significant national holiday and our school parliament organized a day, where we were supposed to discuss topics like the history of our nation, democracy, etc. So naturally, as one does on such an occasion, I convinced a classmate who was in the parliament that it would be a good idea for me to have a presentation on why the state shouldn't exist for 3 fucking hours in front of like a hundred people. I actually prepared really well and managed to sound articulate, so it wasn't a nuclear level disaster and I only became entire school's laughing stock for a few weeks. Eventually I grew up and managed to leave my utter spergdom behind.

In college I was experimenting on a homework submission server and half-accidentally wrote and ran a fork bomb (a type of computer virus) which took the machine down for everyone attending the operating systems course few hours before a major assignment was due.

Also when I was like 12 I had hopes of becoming a youtuber and made a few let's plays and "try not to laugh" challenges, which my mates in class would torture me with for years to come. Thankfully we had a great collective in our class so all the fun-poking at my expense was in good spirits.

It wasn't exactly that, but my professor did, much to her credit, tell me had an excellent writing style and a good grasp of 40k lore. She's Russian, so of course she would know.

I think the fact you would be willing to publicly speak about it and made a good effort helped you. I think there's a bit of respect, seeing that you only got shit on for a few weeks instead of the rest of your school life.
 
In high school, I took summer classes in order to graduate early, and my last bit of time there, I only had one actual class I needed, so I just dicked around on my computer in the others.
 
In first grade, I didn't know what the middle finger symbolized. So one day when we were cleaning our desks I stacked a bunch of magic marker caps on my middle fingers (because they were the longest fingers) and was being all goofy showing off my "crazy middle fingers". Some fucking snotface tattled on me, and the teacher was gonna punish me until I started sobbing in front of everyone. She fortunately realized that I genuinely didn't know what was wrong about the middle finger and instead the tattle tale ended up missing recess that afternoon.

It was embarrassing crying in front of class, but at least it was a happy ending.
 
Undiagnosed autism made everything I did embarrassing. It's probably a blessing I dont remember much of gradeschool. I'd die of cringe.
 
I am old and when I went to University the University email system was still so crappy everyone used their personal hotmail or gmail to mail professors instead. I ended up mailing one of my rather uptight professors with my personal gmail, and I forgot that it had the account name set to "MY FIRST NAME, the snappy cat". I set that name when I made the account to register a Neopets account, and it was back in the time when anonymous or funny email accounts were still the norm. But of course the professor made it A Thing to point it out in public, and I learned a valuable lesson about keeping personal and professional email separate.

OP I feel for you because 20-year old me could have easily done the same thing in a distracted moment. Except it would have been Neopets fanfiction, so way worse.
 
When I was in high school I was a bit of a sperg so I hung out with other spergs. Trouble was that they way outleveled me in spergery. I had this one friend who was extremely obsessed with getting a girlfriend to the point where he would imagine marrying every single girl who would talk.to him for 5 minutes. I tried telling him this was an unhealthy way to view relationships and that they will come when they come but he was just obsessed with the idea of love.

One week he told me about this crush he had. He planned to ask her out during a football game and asked me my thoughts. I approved and said thats a great idea go for it. What he didnt mention was that: 1. She was a popular cheerleader and 2. She did not know he existed, they never spoke. So during the half time show, when she was preforming (she was the lead too), he ran out in front of the field and interrupted the whole show. He then proceeded to get on one knee and propose to this girl who never knew he existed with his mother's necklace, which he stole from her. It did not go well. I still think about this often.

Thank God he seemed to lack much self-awareness, the cringe later in life would kill him otherwise.
 
I’ll be honest, I’m very sorry for your (oddly heartwarming) mishap, OP, but my highschool social fuckups are the kind of info the nice folks over at GITMO couldn’t get me to spit out.
 
Not something I did but people I hung around in middle school. One of the little shits thought it would be funny to put a paperclip dangling in an outlet and slam a book into it making power in the entire wing go out. It was funny at the time but looking back I just think "what the fuck was wrong with us"
 
I asked a girl out and she told me it was not a good moment since the holidays were coming soon.
I then proceeded to try and argue that it did not change much of anything. It took like 2 long minutes for me to suddenly realize she was not interested and just trying to be nice, looking super uncomfortable. We did not talk much afterwards.

lmfao that's actually hilarious. I could imagine doing that with my mates way back then. Good times.
 
At an icebreaking session in 11th grade I thought it'd be funny to tell a story about how me and my friends all did mushrooms on a camping trip (we did) and I had sex with a tree while tripping. The whole class looked at me like I was a total freak (I was) and I didn't realise how unacceptable this "story" was until several years later. And I wondered at the time why people in my class kept a distance from me at the time. Autism is one hell of a drug.
 
I don't know if my current mindset of not giving a fuck is making hard for me to think of something cringe or if I repressed those memories because they were profoundly cringe.

Here's something recent, at martial arts class we were doing abs work out, building up callus by punching the abs for a minute. Anyways retard over here thought would be cool to lift me shirt to show out my 6 packs, only now I realize how gay that was.

I mostly kept to myself and my friend group in school. I never really did anything crazy enough to warrent mentioning in this thread. I guess bullying the gay kid by locking him inside a manhole was the worst. But it was something we all did as a group, it's not like it was my idea or anything I just helped lift the cover up and watched the rest play out.

I accidentally called my teacher "Mom" once in first grade. Whose bright idea was it to make "Miss" and "Mom" sound so similar?

Isn't that a mistake everyone makes at one point?

There was a fat retard in my class during high-school that'd brag about watching gore and one time child-porn as if it made him edgy and cool. Annoying bastard that got beat up by some wogs after an argument during a basketball game if the rumours I heard were true.
