When the Truth is Suddenly Exposed!

I could wish this wasn’t a true story. But it is.

A high school friend and I argued constantly. We had Gym class together, and one day we argued all the way to the showers and back to our lockers. We continued to argue as we toweled off and headed for the exit, tossing our towels in the bin and walking out onto campus, still arguing…

We’d left the gym naked. 

The next day I changed my name and moved to Tibet.

OK, so that part’s not true.

I only wished it was.

    Funny story

  2. What a totally humiliating experience! You would have been justified if you changed high schools. I’m glad you’re able to make light of it now to share some laughs. 🙂

    An important News Flash….. sorry … I mean Nude Flash!

    Nakedness can be a great leveler. Arguments are great when they are in fact debates. But when they become a question of who is right and who is wrong, not at all helpful. when my spouse and I argue though, I usually have the last word: Yes dear!

  12. ropheka says:

    I was so concentrated on making my lessons I forgot the time. It was almost time to catch the bus. I grabbed the lessons and ran
    It was only when I was at the bus stop I realized I had no clothes on ( men tend to be naked in bed which is where I was making up the lessons for my class )
    Because most of the Chinese never saw a westerner they thought is was normal for us

  13. trE says:

    Now listen, if an argument was T H A T intense y’all couldn’t remember y’all had no clothes on, I don’t ever want to get that angry at someone. 😂😆🤣

  14. Oh my! Are you sure this wasn’t just one of those stress nightmares? It sounds like a stress nightmare! I think I might now have a stress nightmare having read this!

  15. Erika says:

    OMG!!! I cannot believe such situations really do happen. I often dream of situations where I am back in school and discover that I am naked. That is already terrible😂I can only imagine how long it took that people did not laugh and whisper whenever they saw you and your friend.

  16. The stuff of nightmares.

  17. I forget a lot of stuff. Pretty sure I wouldn’t forget THAT.

  18. KitrionaGray says:

    This just woke me up 😂

  19. Pure Glory says:

    LOL There are different ways to win an argument. Neither of you won, but it was a win for everyone else.

  20. spwilcen says:

    Everyone’s worst dream.

  21. Niki says:

    That’s hilarious. It beats me walking through wet cement in front of the guys laying it!

  22. I’m sorry but I had to laugh. Thanks as always for sharing your story

  23. Carla says:

    Oh my goodness, that is hilarious. Fortunately memory is short and there was not social media like there is today.

  24. I walked out of the locker room in a slip when I was in high school. I was half awake and exhausted from workout (swim team). Parents, team mates in the lobby … how embarrassing. Fortunately, as someone else mentioned, there weren’t cell phones and social media back then!

  25. Phil Strawn says:

    Had a similar experience in high school. Me and my friend Ron decided the hallway was a good place to fight it out, only problem was an elderly English teacher tried to break us up and Ron accidently knocked her down. I couldn’t sit down for a while, and he got to know soap operas on daytime tv.

  26. Great Post 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

  27. Any Element says:

    Truth will always be discovered. That is the fact of life

  28. A very memorable moment!🤣😂
