Top 10 Embarrassing Moments on TheTopTens

The Top Ten
1 When you make a list that is really similar to another list without knowing

I've made a list titled "Marvel and DC Characters Who Should Get Their Own Movie." But then I found a list which was similar to mine, and it was made 2 years ago. It was titled "Top Ten Marvel Characters That Need a Movie."

I remember making a list about cartoon characters voiced by Rob Paulsen, but I failed to realize egnomac already made one like it, yet my list didn't get merged. Still have awkward thoughts about it to this day.

My list Top 10 Nicknames for music artists is almost exactly like a list by AlphaQ, but I did not know that his list was real, and now I am a copycat.

Or when people make a list similar to yours and you lose all the votes because that one got more popular.

2 When someone deletes all of their replies in a conversation and you look like you are talking to yourself

That happened to me before so I deleted all of my replies too! and then the comment had the reply thing and there were no replies.

Yup. This happened as well. It's pretty embarrassing and I hope no one thought I was talking to myself.

Totally, it's a jerk move to do that and makes you look like a coward if you delete replies

It is kinda like someone trying to make you the psychopath when you really aren't.

3 When someone makes up a lie about you that people believe

That never happened to me, but that would be really embarrassing.

4 When you feed a troll

Someone fed me baked beans.

5 When you don't read the list name right and add something unrelated

More to the point for me: when you accidentally add something unrelated to one of your own lists. I did it once, and I felt embarrassed. Fortunately, nobody seemed to be bothered by it.

I've lost count of the number of times I've done this and I think: Oh God, everyone knows I've submitted that item and even though no one can see me, my cheeks flush.

Yeah some of my lists end up misspelled, but not quite fixed to this day as I forget to proofread proven nobody is perfect.

I've submitted a rap song on a list about the most overplayed pop songs. Embarrassing...

6 When you misread someone else's comment

Sometimes it's because the comment is grammatically incorrect and such. So it's not always entirely our fault

Get the wrong sense of urgency basically.

That's embarrassing

7 When someone complains about you hating something they love and praise too much

Like Praying by Kesha.

8 When you spell something wrong

Especially if instead of one word, you put another word that has a slightly different spelling but very different meaning.

I commented on Royce Da 5'9 "he's 5'8" instead of "he's 5'9" and now the world has incorrect point of view

"Why dies everyone hate this album? " I MEANT DOES!

9 When a user brings up one of your old bad comments

Sometimes I see that someone has given an old bad comment that I'd long forgotten about, a thumbs-up and all I want to do is delete it but don't have the heart to because someone took the time to read it and actually approved of it.

Some of my old comments are pretty bad (especially that one Love So Soft rant that I wrote the day after I joined), but my old replies are worse.

Sometimes people call me a hypocrite while referencing one of my comments from the Animefan12 account. Like I was 12, now I'm almost 16. My views change dammit

Most of my oldest comments were Linkin Park related, I was a huge fanboy back then.

10 When you have a bad list you regret making

I Made a List of the Top 10 Worst Generation 5 Pokemon I Should have looked harder to find a list about that instead of making a list that no one even voted on.

I have no regrets. All my lists are creative. I'm the most Creative One Of The TopTens. Why would I care about what other people I'll never see think. I

Mine would be that list of reasons why 2017 is worse than 2016. MAN I hated that list and admin refuses to remove it!

Never had a list I regret making, I just have some lists that I wish I did a better job making.

The Contenders
11 When you like a song that no one else does

Nope, I wouldn't ever care if someone doesn't like what I do , The only thing that matters is the true affection and passion you have for it, You shouldn't change the thing your heart beats for.
This should be true for most of the things - Everything you love and adore ; Not only songs or artists that created them.

That is totally fine, as most songs I listen to are by underground artists who are rather unpopular

I really don't mind this. A song is a song, not gonna lose sleep over someone else not liking it.

For me it's the opposite, I dislike Praying even though almost everyone else loves it.

12 When someone copies your comment

Wouldn't that make you kind of proud? Like "my comment was so good that someone felt the need to copy it"

And people thumbs up their comment more so then yours says new and people think you copied!

Also similar lists which get more votes. And admin don't merge them but approve them.

Yeah, the precious likes are tasty

13 When you have a bad post you regret making

Either of bad rep, or the post was out of wack to be completely finished thus becoming lost files or just plain cancellation.

My first post was 3 sentences and I wondered why it was not on the side of the list...maybe because it is 3 sentences.

Never really regretted a post. I post when I want to anyway and I usually have a good idea of what it'll be.

This isn't as bad as a bad list, you can actually delete your posts.

14 When you don't like something you used to love and everyone thinks you still like it because of your old comments

It happens, overtime opinions do vary, and keeping track of ones love, and hate is almost impossible with multiple users that end being active on a basis.

My most liked comment is about Slayer. I don't listen to them at all now...

Well, yeah, but I use a new account!

Like Taylor Swift.

15 Making a comment you have to manually sign your username on when you're suspended

Well at least we have a clue as to remembering who that suspended user is, but the rest of the story undetermined.

16 When you accidentally add something to a list that's already on there

I actually did this on one of my old lists...

17 When you accidentally vote for an item you weren't going to vote for

I do that all the time!

Same. I did this once.

18 When you comment while forgetting to log in

And you get 100 thumbs up for that comment and then you realise that if you posted it while logged in, you could have gotten the accomplishment

Before I made my account, I had a comment with nine likes and I never got that many after my account

Yeah, and trying to guess who that person is suppose to be.

It happens to me sometimes. I don't really care.

19 When your opinion changes but you already wrote several comments about the topic

That would be like if I started liking What About Us by Pink (I wrote many comments complaining about that song, most of them in my first five months on here).

Yes, and also having to explain why your opinion changed

20 When you accidentally flag a comment when you're supposed to click the like button

This happened to me yesterday on a reply to a post comment because I didn't realize you couldn't thumb up post comments/replies.

21 When someone doesn't reply to your message

How could this happen to me?
