I have a couple.
When I was 17 I gained a lot of weight because I became ill and had to take medication that made me balloon up from 45 kg to 55 kg (I'm 5'4") and a couple of months later it reached my ears that apparently kids in school had been commenting that maybe I had got knocked up 
When I was 22 I went to a summer music festival with a group of people I didn't know very well, and when I hooked up with one of the guys in the group, he turned to me at one point and said: "you're a really nice girl. I thought you'd be a big snob". When I asked him why he'd say that he said "well (insert names of girls I knew here)) said that you were just a rich mommy's girl who didn't have any other friends to come with and came along for the ride as a favour". Insert dropping jaw here. Needless to say I never spoke to the bitches again.
That's it I think.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
