What's your most embarrassing moment?

Here's what people in London said:

Walking down the street one day, trying to impress this girl,
showing off a bit as you do, you know. And then smack bang!
Walked straight into a lamp post – fell over from the shock!
Wasn't good.

What’s always really quite embarrassing is when you think
somebody’s waving to you, so you wave back to them. But they’re
not, they’re waving to somebody behind you. That’s always quite
embarrassing as you try and brush your hair instead, to pretend
you weren’t doing it.

I remember being at school and calling a teacher I really, really
hated, "Mum". I've no idea why I called her "Mum". I think it was
just a slip of the tongue.

Now tell us what embarrasses you!
