'This happened in 2002 and I still think about it all the time': 20+ Face-meltingly cringe moments that keep people awake at night

It's 2:30 A.M., you have to work tomorrow, but you're staring at the ceiling instead of sleeping…what embarrassing moment in your life are you reflecting on as you lay in the silent darkness? In order to answer that question, it helps to have some anonymity. That's why r/AskReddit really leaned in to this prompt, asking which "relatively minor social missteps or poorly chosen words you did/said years earlier?" still bother you today.

The responses range from tiny mean comments about someone's appearance or laughter, to bigger things like outright rejecting romantic advances in a blunt manner. It's fascinating, because so many of these submissions are really tiny things that people have spent hours of their lives pondering over. It really makes you wonder if you're the cause of anyone's ultimate embarrassing moment. And it makes you realize that most people will only remember embarrassing moments about their own lives, and don't really care so much about other peoples' supposed slights.

After that, scroll through one waitress's most bizarre shift ever, where she served two women who were out of this world, either because they were under the influence of some substances, or because they're undercover aliens.
