Today, I was to give a business report to several important shareholders. Right at the start, I broke into a coughing fit, then got so nervous that I froze up. When I tried to excuse myself, I tripped over my own feet. I'm now facing demotion for making the company look bad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML
Today, I sat down to discuss wanting a promotion and ended up getting so nervous that I broke down crying in front of my boss. FML
Today, at work, I had a coughing fit so bad I actually shat myself. What felt like a gallon of liquid crap poured down my trouser leg onto the floor. I work in a competitive office and this happened in front of 30 spiteful coworkers who love posting pics online. FML
Today, I had to give a speech but I wasn't prepared. I decided to give it anyway. While giving the speech, I got so nervous I passed out. FML
Today, I gave a big presentation at work, hoping to impress my boss and angle for a promotion. I was already nervous, but a co-worker at the back kept making goofy faces, causing me to repeatedly break into laughter. My boss accused me of being high, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, I was to give a presentation to several of my company's senior employees. The moment I stood up, I accidentally let rip a monstrous fart that lasted a good two or three seconds. When I tried to utter an apology, I clammed up and let out a whiny grunt. They were not amused. FML
Today, just before a job interview, I coughed so violently that I lost my voice. FML
Today, I embarrassed myself not once, not twice, but three times in front of a coworker. I dropped something, they came to help; I got distracted and fell forward onto my knees, to only then nearly knock over an entire skid of boxes on to the both of us. I kinda want to quit my job. FML

The company should have extended a large cane to pull you off stage.

Sorry, OP. Better luck next time!

But everyone enjoys a good three stooges act! Wait- did you forget Curly and Joe?(Not sure if I got the names right..)
Slawter16 24
I think it's Curly and Larry. I believe Curly was also known as Curley Joe. Something like that.. (I've never even seen the three stooges, I've only heard stuff about it years ago)

You're close. Their names are Curly, Larry, and Moe.
Slawter16 24
I knew Moe was the one the original comment didn't mention, but I thought Joe was the middle name of one of them or something. O.o I don't even know.

Thank you all, I haven't watched any Three Stooges in 6 years.

Don't forget shimp! He was later added and took one of their places.

51 - you mean shemp? he was Moe's IRL brother (in case that wasn't obvious).

You didn't make the company look bad, you just made it look... funny?

That's so stupid. Your superiors shouldn't have done that. Everyone makes mistakes.

But some mistakes will cost the company customers and money. If OP is unable to handle a presentation then he should not be in a position to have to give one

I don't see how anyone could click YDI. Nobody can prevent it on the spot, and its really bad that OP's job decided to blame him for it.

Well, ****. I hope they don't demote you for having a little social anxiety. Not your fault.

It is his fault for not having the coping skills required to be a functioning adult member of society. The business world is ruthless and he obviously isn't measuring up.

Don't trip yourself, explain it to the boss. No pun intended

Sucks to hear my Albanian friend.
