Neoxian City: Writing Prompt #5 – Toppers

Dear Hivers,
It was another successful month for the fifth Neoxian City writing prompt. Recounting embarrassing experiences might not always be pleasant. Some entries were humorous whilst other were emotional. However, all seemed to end well as life lessons were learnt.
As always, it was difficult to select the winners because there were so many well written posts. Starting this month, we will introduce 5 honorable mentions. Thanks for your participation. Everyone was a "Topper"!

Reminder - please do not forget to adhere to the Guidelines. When selection is difficult - guidelines matter.

The Toppers!!

These top posts receive an equal share of the posts rewards - 10.52 Hives plus 500 neoxags!!

I felt embarrassed after a successful presentation by @jjmusa2004

The month was October, and it was my first time attending the youth conference of our church. Being a national conference, there were lots of participants from all over the country. This had been much spoken about, as it was an avenue to interact and mix with youths from other parts of the country.

The most embarrassing moment by @princess-dara

The most embarrassing moment of my life wasn't a very pleasant one because it came to me so surprisingly. Life is full of happy and sad moments because there is no how you won't experience bad times, we are humans and some things will happen no matter how much we try to avert it.

MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT @vickoly

The world is a delightful place to be, but then it's full of ups and downs, and these, over time, bring about a mixed feeling depending on how each and everyone sees it. I've had my fair share of exciting moments on earth, and I've also had some experiences that were embarrassing to the point where I felt so ashamed of myself, to the point where I wished I could disappear from that spot due to the impact the scenario had on me.

The Edited Error by @kingsleyy

It was a Thursday's evening when I returned from work around 7:00 p.m., terribly exhausted. I rushed to the bathroom for my bath and made a sharp concoction of rice as dinner, which I ate while being glued to my phone, reading articles here (hive) to cover up my lapses for the day.

I shit myself at the exam hall🙈😩 by @glorydee

As humans, we are bound to face different emotions and moments, from the happy, sad, awkward, and yes embarrassing moments that are not left out. Going through the Neoxian city prompt of the month, took me back on memory lane, it is funny to write about now, but wasn't funny at all going through it. It was the first exam I sat for in the university, a general course, the almighty mathematics, normally, it is one of my favorite courses and I felt confident prior to the exam because I had studied well, attended all lectures and was serious with my studies.

Poop 💩 In My Crush’s House - The Most Embarrassing Moment Of My Childhood by @thisisnativeboy

I visited a friend on a Saturday afternoon to hangout and fave some fun. This is not something I do very often. I’m a very indoor person and I hardly visit people. It’s not a habit I’m very proud of but I certainly do not hate myself for being an intense introvert.

Totally embarrassed by @lightpen

I have experienced quite a number of embarrassing moments but this particular one that happened a few years ago strikes my mind whenever I reflect on the most embarrassing moments I have gone through. I left home on that particular morning for work. I was working in a highschool as a Mathematics teacher. I had 1000 naira with me and the cost of my transportation was fifty naira. I needed to give my brother 500 naira out of the money that morning.

THE TWO MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT OF MY LIFE 🙈🙈🙈 by @quduus1

If I had the power to undo some events and occurrences in my life, then this particular event would have been erased and cleared not just from existence but from the memories of the people that witnessed it... What happened?, where did it happen?, how many times have i been a victim and what did i go through during these embarrassing moments of my life?, these are the questions i will answering in my posts, it is indeed a funny one but i could bet with you all that it wasn't funny at all that day hehe...

Navigating Financial Hardships: The Unforgettable Embarrassing Incident by @udezee

Self-sufficiency is an important financial goal that many families strive to achieve because it enables them to take charge of their lives and protects them from the uncertainties of life. Parents, particularly fathers, are entrusted with the responsibility of providing and supporting the family with the necessities of life. This responsibility is significant and crucial for the family's survival. One factor that allows families to live comfortably, or at least modestly, regardless of the country's economic state, is financial security.

My Most Embarrassing Moment by @dwixer

It happened when I was in college. I was 17 at that time and I was a very shy guy. I had just been enrolled in a new school where I met a girl called Linda, she is one of the reasons I believe in love at first sight and that's because there was this chemistry between us the first day we met. I assumed she felt the same way I did but I lacked the boldness to tell her. The first time I had tried asking a girl out, I had rehearsed every line carefully but still ended up saying things out of context , so I was careful not to embarrass myself again.
