Generation Gaffe

"My boyfriend's family is very formal, so I was nervous about meeting them for the first time. He and I went to their house when his grandparents were visiting so that I could get to know the whole clan. When we got there, everyone was out on a walk with the dog, so we decided to take a dip in the pool. We changed into our suits, and as we walked outside, his dog came running to greet us. I reached down to pet it, and my bikini top slipped off! I tried to cover up right as his dad and grandfather rounded the corner, getting a full view of my bare chest. I had flashed three generations of the family all at once."--Kendall, 20

What a Pill

"My friend was too embarrassed to purchase the morning-after pill for herself, so I offered to go and buy one for her. At the drugstore, I got the pill from the pharmacist, picked up a few other items, and took everything to the counter. As soon as the cashier picked up the pill, she told me loudly that I couldn't buy it at the front of the store. Then she got on the intercom and said, 'Could the pharmacist who sold the emergency contraceptive please call the front desk?' With all eyes on me, I had to walk to the back of the store and pay and then pass the line again, totally humiliated, on my way out."--Danielle, 21

Freezer Burned

"Everyone at the restaurant I worked at knew I had a crush on a coworker. During a shift, I went into the walk-in freezer and I didn't realize that he had followed me in. When I turned around to leave, I saw him, and I heard the door lock from the outside. My coworkers had locked us in together! He leaned in to kiss me, and we made out for a bit. When someone finally opened the door, we emerged, thinking we'd gotten away with our little secret. But the manager had seen everything on camera. We were fired that afternoon."--Maura, 21
