What's the most embarrassed you have ever been?

I hope nobody minds if I necropost to this. I see necroposting is frowned on by most forums.

I usually can never think of an answer to this sort of question, but the following incident recently came to mind and prompted me to search for a thread on this topic, and voila!

I think the most embarrassed I have ever been was this. Several years ago, my father treated me and my three kids to a cruise with him and his wife. One night, as we were eating at one of the upscale restaurants onboard, his wife at one point actually snapped her fingers at our waiter to get his attention. I was mortified; so were my kids. I honestly wanted the floor to just open up and swallow me.

And goodness knows what the waiter was thinking! (Probably something along the lines of "Ugly American.")

once, long ago and far away, my future hb and his mother and myself went to a high class restaurant across from Watergate in DC to discuss our upcoming wedding with his mother. When the waiter appeared to take our orders, my (future) hb gave his order first and the waiter tried to hide his reaction.

I gave hb a discreet nudge under the table and all was fixred. His mother went first, then myself and then him.

Necroposting….a new word to me
If someone revives an old thread of mine from when I used to ask silly questions I’m delighted

WAaaaay Back in the Daze ...

Mid movie I had to get up … Came back into a dark theater and sat down next to the wrong gal. Put my arm around her, took a sip of her drink from the arm cup holder, and reached into the big popcorn bucket in her lap … When she spoke up rudely, I didn't recognize her voice at all !!! That wasn't just embarrassing, the rejection was emotionally scarring. Shoot. Funny thing was when I stood looking around and slowly realized I hadn't even gone to the movie with a date. D'OH

Oh, shoot. I had to delete it. It’s an embarrassment just talking about it.

I shan't never tell!

Nope, spitting it out is what caused my embarrassment in the first place.

in my years of commuting on the train, i had one day worn red pants. exiting the train, a businessman leaned over and said in a sexy voice "Merry Christmas to you too". I was confused. Apparently my pants were a little see-thru and my underwear that day had a little Christmas tree on it that said Merry Christmas.

My terrific fifth grade teacher caught me doing essay homework to a class friend that had pressured me strongly to help him. He was also a major athlete with lots of friends and female admirers. The first time I'd ever done something unethical like that. The friend received an A and I an F as the teacher knew just what to do to make a point. Taught me quite a lesson I've never forgotten as it embarrassed me greatly with someone I greatly respected.
