Happy Twenty-Worst!

"On the night of my 21st birthday, a group of my friends and I went out to eat at a family bar and grill. I am a lot shorter than my girlfriends are and have frequently been told I have a baby face, but that didn't prepare me for what happened when we sat down at the table. The waitress came over with menus, then said 'Oops, I forgot one. Sorry.' She left, then reappeared and handed us our menus--giving me a kids' one. The table went silent before I turned to the waitress and said, 'I'll have the children's hot dog ... with a shot of vodka. Thanks.'"--Olivia, 23

Busted by the Boss

"After months of job hunting, I finally landed an office-manager job at a large health-care business. I was responsible for ordering office supplies for the entire company. One day, I started checking out the Website that I used to place orders. When I saw a tab for 'feminine hygiene,' I was curious, so I clicked on it. Images of tampons and vaginal creams bombarded my screen. I felt a tap on my shoulder---my older male supervisor was standing behind me. I was later given a speech about looking at 'inappropriate material' on the job."--Trish, 23

Walk of Shame

"While heading down a long hallway at an airport, I noticed that people I passed were staring at me. I assumed it was because I was wearing a short, sexy skirt and felt flattered, so I strutted a little bit. When a really cute guy walked by and quickly turned around and tapped my shoulder, I gave him my most seductive smile. Then he said, 'Oh, girl, I'm as gay as they come. I just wanted to let you know your skirt is tucked into your tights.' I gasped and looked down. My skirt had been poking out of my control-top nylons, giving everyone I passed an unattractive view of my behind the entire time." --Raquel, 31
