My friend was having an abortion, and I drove her and went in with her for moral support. There were protestors outside the clinic being horrible. I didn't feel shamed, but my friend did. gently caress those people.

So I'm pretty overweight, just under 400lbs and 2 days ago for the first time in nearly ten years I went to the gym. I thought I'd start out on a crosstrainer as it would allow me to dictate my own gentle starting pace. After 20 minutes I was pretty hot and sweaty, this wasn't helped at all by the woman working out in front of me, I could only see her from behind but I could tell she was beautiful. In my tired state I was just staring at her rear end I didn't even notice she had looked around and the next thing I know he has a serious look on her face as she walks over to me, I recognized her, this was Todd my high scool bully's mom. She spoke in a low and sultry voice "I can give you some motivation" she turned and told me to put my hand on her butt.

This was great cardio, I could really feel my heart rate increase. I don't know if perhaps my hand lingered a little too long or I groped too hard but she screamed loudly "I do farties from there." I froze not knowing what to do, several people gasped and one guy spit out his protein shake. I realized everyone was looking at me a shamefaced blob with stink lines visibly emanating from my hand. I quickly left and waddled home as fast as I could. As I prepared to get in the shower I changed my mind, a butt like that just doesn't come along too often.

How have you been shamed in public?

Maybe she said 'fatties' not 'farties' and was loudly hitting on you, but your fat ears made you mishear her.

Back when I was a 10 year old boy on the last day of primary 6 people had brought board games as was traditional, someone challenged me to a game of chess and I told him I didn't know how to play. The dumbest kid in my class overheard this and exclaimed "you can't play chess" in the same tone you'd use to address a grown adult who can't tie their laces. I felt a deep shame and embarrassment and to this day have never learned to play instead choosing to address the issue with "Sorry but I play Shogi :smug:" which is a lie I hope no one ever calls me out on.

I know the basic rules of chess. I even know about en passant and castling. And throughout my entire life it has been of absolutely no value to me whatsoever. The rules of chess are only worth learning if you want to play chess.

Outdated now, but I loved the Barbara Walters(?) interview with Lady Gaga where she's expecting a self-obsessed idiot, and instead gets an Ivy League musical savant that is a piano savant.

And of course we all remember where we were when we found out that Justin Timberlake was an amazing actor and really funny.

I'm an incredibly boring grad student in my late twenties and Ke$ha is basically my role model now. My theory is that she's basically 21st century Nietzsche. Outside of Ke$ha and Daft Punk (and a few bands like Daft Punk) i listen almost exclusively to death metal.

It's not a matter of whether or not they know how to play chess. After all, no normal person will care whether or not someone knows how to play. It's that they apparently respond by stating, with a healthy dose of smug, they know how to play the East Asian equivalent that will probably not be encountered outside of East Asia.

As for guilty pleasure music, mine has been Tegan & Sara. I know I shouldn't feel ashamed listening to them, but their songs are just so mushy.

Who Killed Amanda Palmer is a great album but by all accounts she is a total jerk and deflects any criticism directed at her with 'I have a mental illness' or 'you just don't understand me', neither of which seems very healthy when most of the criticism goes beyond just 'being bi-polar' and focuses on her self-obsessed behavior. Stuff like raising 1000% of her goal on a kickstarter to fund a tour and then asking guest musicians to play for free because 'that's how the industry works'.
