When I was a freshman in highschool my friend was bombing a presentation, studering his way through it. Being the great guy I am I was trying not to burst out laughing and ended up making an unexplainably weird moan/laugh. It was just loud enough for the four girls I was surrounded by to hear (I had a crush on all of them). Slowly, they all turned their heads toward me and I just remember sinking into my soul with embarrassment. This moment haunted me for years, always reminding me how awkward I was.

 

Mine comes from ignorance over colloquial usage of words, and how something said in one place is innocent, yet completely immoral in another, even if speaking the same language.

When I was 17, I took my first vacation out of the nation with my mates. We went to the USA (California) and met up with an American girl, in her early 20s, from Oregon whom one of my mates knew. We planned to stay there in California for about 10 days to celebrate our completion of secondary school, and as it was winter there at the time, the weather (in the southern part) was fantastic and not majorly hot. Plus, it was cheaper than the Caribbean, and I find women with American accents (at least in California) to be extremely hot too

I was told beforehand from my parents that I should look more into where I was going, but the silly me didn't do that. After all, i had my phone to help me, and if I needed help. Also, they speak English, and so do I. Plus there's like a billion people in California. What was the huge issue?

Well, the time came, and I arrived there. It was completely different from what I expected. One main issue was the traffic, EVERYWHERE. Every road was packed with cars, going slower than a human's walking speed. It took us hours to get to where we were staying.

So, to avoid the traffic, we decided to leave much earlier to wherever we go. But, my friend's American friend didn't have an alarm clock in her quarters, nor did her phone's alarm work. As she's the driver, she was devastated at that. She was about to complain before I approached her.

"Ay, [woman's name]," I told her, "Don't worry! I'll knock you up."

When she slapped me, I realized what I said was a terrible mistake. NEVER tell that to an American woman. She ranted on (in her darling accent) about how I was a 17-year-old pervert trying to get her in trouble with the law since I was underage before she stormed downstairs to the hotel lobby to demand a clock.

All I offered to her, at least from the English I'm used to, was to just knock on her door until she woke up, but apparently in America, it's a sexual remark that can actually get people in trouble. Luckily, I didn't; she forgave me eventually, and we still laugh about it today.

Ever since then, I've been much more careful about slang words and regional differences before I'm once again considered a pervert.

 

This story might be kind of triggery, so I'll put spoilers on some of it. So some context... I was a student leader at my youth group. So, in a position of leadership, but still the same age as my peers in the youth group. Most of my friends there were boys. We were all really close. Anyway, it's hard to describe inside jokes, but they all used to say these weird things in this silly voice, and I would usually say "me too," just as a joke. Kind of like how people say "same" nowadays. Anyway, one day this exchange happened with a boy I had a crush on:

Spoiler: Maybe triggering

We were sort of standing off to the side of everyone else, at the water fountain, he just kind of absently said, in that silly voice, "I have nipples." And given my instinct and usual response, I looked at him and said "me t-- ..."
And then his eyes got all wide and I blushed like crazy and we both just sort of walked away and then started laughing. Everyone was like "what are you guys laughing at?" And We're just like "nope, nothing, nothing to see here."

 

I also like legit peed my pants once, in my truck, at like... Idk, 18 years old with my best friend. But that wasn't super embarrassing, because we just laughed about it a lot.

 

Oh! And one time I was in a hotel, and it was super late. I fell asleep in the living room area, but then I decided to go to the bedroom, which was connected to the living room through a bathroom. So I walked into the bathroom, and the door closed behind me. I realized I left my blanket in the living room, so I turned around to go get it. I was pretty disoriented and I didn't realize there was a mirror on the back of that door, nor did I realize that the door had closed. So I ran into the mirror, apologized to my reflection, and then stared at myself for a good 30 seconds in sheer terror, wondering how some girl got into my hotel room. It seriously took me like 30 seconds to a minute to understand what had just happened.

 

What controversies?
