Dissed

I - a young strapping black man - am on vacation in South Carolina. The only other black people I've seen anywhere near the resort have been grocery store employees and the housekeeping staff. I was on the beach one day, and a little blond kid was crawling on the shore, took one look at me, and hissed.

ForgotTwin

I left my phone off all day because the battery had died. When I finally get a chance to plug it in, I expect to get flooded with missed calls and texts. No one had tried to reach me at all.

MexicAna

I - a young Latina - am going to visit my out-of-town boyfriend in a few days. His mom brought tortilla chips and salsa home from the grocery store today, and when he tried to open them, his mom said, "Don't touch that, we have to feed your girlfriend soon!" My Latin flare comes from Argentina, and only a little bit.

GraduHatin'

There was an open letter sitting on my kitchen counter, so I took a look at it. It was an invitation to a graduation and 18th birthday party. As a fellow graduate, I assumed it was for me and turned the envelope over to see who had invited me. It was addressed to ONLY my sophomore sister.

TabOoh

I was playing Taboo with my friend, and I was the one describing a word. I said, "My hair is..." and she immediately shouts, "Nappy!" She got the clue.

SoundedOut

My friend asked her brother whom he preferred: me or my sister. He said that I was nicer but more annoying. When asked to describe why he thought I was annoying, he said: "She makes weird noises like 'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'" He's 8.

PrinciPwnd

Today I was complaining to a friend that she was my only one, since all others had abandoned us for a cappella or college visits or saving babies from burning buildings. Mid-whine, our principle stops, turns and whispers, "and she's not even your friend!" before walking off.

MakeAwp

A few Saturdays ago, I woke up early, washed my face, and walked downstairs to eat some breakfast. My mother responded to my morning greetings by staring at my face in silence for a minute or two, then saying "Today I'm taking you to buy make-up."

FlippedOut

I was at my boyfriend's house, and we were engaging in some activities.  He tried to flip me, and he accidentally flipped me off the bed.  I fell onto his laptop and cracked the screen.  He has had it for three weeks.

Today I came home from rehearsal for a show in which I play a bimbo/slut. My uncle took one look at my outfit and asked, "Were you wearing this to get into character?" I was wearing the outfit I had worn to school today.

ConditionalLove

My sister is whining about being fat, so my mom gives her a 5 minute speech about how her body is beautiful and she's not fat and she should love herself. My mom then turns to me, completely unprovoked, and starts my speech with: "You on the other hand..."

BoyFrontin

I was babysitting a second grade boy and he asked me if I had a boyfriend. Without giving me a chance to answer, he says: "No? Didn't think so. You have to get one in the next two months or all the good ones will be taken." I think he's right.

SalaMe

I was talking to my teacher in the hallway, and out of nowhere he cries, "Oh boy, it really smells like salami in this hallway!" I had eaten some on another floor of the building five minutes earlier. We were standing at least 10 feet away from each other.

Sick-OfMe

I was at dinner with a few of my friends when someone started talking about another friend who is really sick. I say, "He's so hard to reach--I've been calling him ten times a day!" One of my friends responds, "Oh I was texting him for two hours last night." Another adds, "Yeah he called me this morning."

MetroOpensDoors

My friend and I were running to catch a train at Metro Center. We think the doors are about to close, so we grab each other's hands and we jump into the train. We're left standing in the middle of a crowded train, with everyone's eyes on us. The doors don't close for another 5 minutes.

Fallin

I was walking past the gym after school one day, and my foot got tangled in the straps of someone's backpack. I fell completely flat of my face, and lay there for a couple of seconds, laughing to myself, happy that no one had seen me. Then I looked up. The entire visiting school's varsity basketball team was standing there, staring me, lying on the ground in a heap of backpacks. I took me at least 5 painful minutes to get untangled.

Twinnot

This girl walks up to me, thinking I'm my twin, and says, "Hey, I've missed you, how have you been?" Realizing her mistake, I just smile politely and awkwardly and let her keep talking to me. Then, my friend walks up to me and says my name. The first girl's face drops and she hurries away without another word.

MistAce

After leaving a friend's house, I was driving home, blasting the Ace of Base medley. I decided to call her to let her hear it. When she picked up, I just started singing, and have her a full minute of the song. All I heard on the other line was, "Who is this?" I say, "I'm serenading you, obviously." I had dialed the wrong number.

Univershitty?

The day I got into my first choice college, my aunt called to congratulate me. When she heard where I was going, there was a long pause before she asked whether the acceptance was binding, then a longer pause before she lectured me for 20 more minutes about how my sister, who was deferred, was the lucky one, because she didn't get "stuck" in one place that wasn't so great.

While watching a choir sing, I leaned over to my friend and commented on the number of unfortunate people singing, just as the song stopped. Everyone in the crowd heard me say, in a normal voice, "Poor kids, God must hate them - they're ugly and tone deaf." This was at the National Cathedral.

Leggy

At a family dinner, my cousin told me that with my attitude, I'd never get a boyfriend. I don't have one. He soon realized this and comforted me by saying, "Well, at least you don't have to worry about your legs getting fat, which is good considering how much you eat."

We were walking through Bloomingdales when my friend pointed out a shirt and said "Isn't that hideous?" I enthusiastically agreed, adding on that it looked like someone had vomited up coke on it. She didn't respond. She was wearing the exact same shirt- she had been joking.
