If your life had a blooper reel, what incident would definitely have a spot in it?

I walked into the pole of a street sign a while back. It hit me square in the face and my whole body wrapped around the pole like in the cartoons. It was embarrassing, but now it’s hilarious

When I was about 17 I was at a family reunion style event on some campground. There were these 4ft poles randomly placed throughout the place and I decided I wanted to hurdle over all of them, in my movement restricting dress.
Did 5 and was pretty successful so decided to get to 10. On my 6th one my sister starts recording and some people passing by stopped to look and that when mid run to jump, I decided I didn’t want to do it anymore but it was too late. I slid into a split and face planted into the pole. And my dress ripped. Everyone laughed and the video got shared a bunch of times. Still funny to me when I think about it 😂

I was 13-14 and attending summer camp. It was my birthday so I wore a new pair of tight jeans with sparkles on them. I decided to walk right in front of my crush because I looked cute and suddenly him and his boys started snickering and eventually burst out laughing. I didn't realize why until a few hours later when my friend noticed and told me. Turns out the jeans had ripped and frayed right down the butt. I was mortified and had to wear a jacket around by hips the rest of the day. Worst bday ever.

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve been a medical assistant for 10 years, and am finishing up my bachelor’s in healthcare management. However finding hard looking for practice or office manager positions, as they’re looking for people with 3+ years of management experience. How can I get an organization to take the chance to invest in me and give me the opportunity to prove I have what it takes. We all have to start somewhere.
