It’s friday, so lets try to end the week in a positive note with a laugh.
My own: got the first compliment of my life after a locker room raid.
I was told I was pretty easy on the eye with no top on, with a smile and a wink to boot, after a few minutes of playing the toss the bundle around game.
I was laid off from my welding job. My boss liked me, so he helped me get a job at another shop. But I was in a really bad head-space in that time of my life in general, so that combined with a few other things, and I quit that new job within about 2 days after starting.
I was totally unable to find a welding job after that. There was a reason the first so laid me off after all - oil markets had crashed, and I lived in a very oil-dependant city. So I ended up working temp jobs to get by, but for a solid 2 years I did nothing but kick myself for being so stupid. To this day, I think quitting that job was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done.
Anyway, after 2 years of that, I finally decided to change gears entirely. I went to school, got a CS degree, and now I have a cushy, well paying programming job.
I still think it was stupid to quit that job back then, but if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be where I am now. I often think about how I can apply that way of thinking to other areas of my life.
I find devs that have a blue collar (or whatever) background are the best. You know what actual work is separate from the programming aspect.
I got into dev later in life and the real world experience contributed to my ability to focus, complete work, get along with others, and appreciate the value of a well paying job where I wasn’t physically at risk.

Yeah, I have no idea what a “locker room raid” is either.
Sounds like something that was “funny” in the 90s but is considered a crime now.
Hey, the least I can say was that both locker rooms got mutually raided, so it was an equal opportunity exercise.
What does toss the “bundle around game” mean?
Bundle of clothing.
No wonder depression and suicide rates are increasing.
“Embarrassing moment” + “no top on”: OP is very likely a woman because men aren’t likely to be embarrassed by being topless. I’d guess a bunch of other people* ran into the girls locker room while she was changing and either had just a bra on up top, or nothing on up top; and they grabbed her clothes and played keep away for a few minutes. But afterward, they told her she was pretty and mildly flirted with her.
* ‘other people’ could be boys; but it feels like OP is from the Commonwealth, meaning it could also be a boarding school and thus a locker room raid by another house.
Uh… Not at all. Not on the Commonwealth and not a woman.
I have only been comfortable being seen with my shirt off as a man for about 10% of my life and it was a window from 18 - 23 or something. Even then, only with a tan.
I can definitely relate with that.

Do they speak English in What?
You must be hot.
I shall abstain from this prompt since none of my embarrassing moments resulted in a net positive for me
I’m not. At least I don’t consider myself as such.
I’m sure other people do!
Well, I was able to successfully reproduce, so you might have a point there.
