We’ve all seen it done, someone walking home, or catching a bus in the morning looking a little worse for wear and clearly still wearing last night’s clothes. What is worse, is that they know that you know what they’ve been up too; it is basically the worst kept secret of all time.

These people have bravely come forward to share their walk of shame stories, and some of them are wild. As well as some humiliating stories to make your feel better about your own escapades, these stories feature some useful advice that you may need including a reminder to never forget your shoes, and the suggestion that maybe you should wear a costume that blends in the next day.

Now, first of all, it is extremely important to say that a walk of shame shouldn’t be so, well, shameful. There is nothing wrong with, to put it delicately, having a good night—though there is something a little embarrassing about getting caught.

If you have a lot of confidence, or your planned ahead and wore a smart outfit or prebooked a ride home, you can turn that walk of shame into a strut. But, either way, at least you can delight in these people’s tales!

1. There is nothing worse than being caught on a walk of shame!

2. Honestly, this is a best case bro-scenario.

3. This is so vividly described I got uncomfortable just reading it

4. On the bright side, at least they didn't have to go around!

5. Probably it would have been better to abandon the Mario hat? I'm sure it was expensive but at the price of your dignity?

6. As hard (no pun intended) as it might be, make sure you take a quick look at yourself before you go!

7. Re-checking into a hotel that you'd made a scene at would have to be the most humiliating thing ever and I bet that guy tried to convince his wife to just sleep in the car!

8. That nurse was probably the guardian angel of the campus.

9. I picture this scene with an awkward wave

10. Escaped retiree or a fun old guy?!

11. A latin-themed moment!

12. This "wok of shame" is a little different, but no lesser of a drunken antic!

13. The mom and the minivan just makes this walk so much worse!

14. If I saw someone walking down the street in that outfit, covered in blood, the last thing I'd do is cheer...

15. Let this be a lesson to us all: do not forget to grab your shoes!

16. There is no way to hide a catwoman costume

17. Weather depending, deciding to pretend you're an early riser is a genius idea!

Okay but weren’t some of these stories super embarrassing? It has definitely made me think a little harder about which costume I wear on Halloween, just in case I have to wear it home again the next day.

It’s time to confess, we’ve opened our souls so it’s time for you to do the same: what is your most embarrassing walk of shame? It doesn’t have to be after a night out, maybe you’ve caused a scene and then had to go back on your word—whatever it is, share all the dirty details below.
