What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done in public?

While at a sporting event when I was around 12 I was walking up the steep stares. If you've been to a basketball/hockey game you know how steep the stares are at the top. Anyways, I misjudged the next step and fell right in front of everyone. Everyone was staring and I kind of laughed it off.. It was quite embarrassing...I'll think of some others because I know I've done worse.

Update:

did i really just say "stares"? lol I meant stairs..

Update 2:

Katybell- That's exactly how I felt.

Wolf- I did that with my sister about 6 months ago. I didn't realize that my sister fell behind. I just seen a figure about 3 steps back to the right of me. So I turned and said, "You're slow, keep up", thinking it was my sister. It turned out it was some random girl.. I was just like... uhh sorry wrong person..

    Hello Weap! :D

    i told you i can't think of anything right now... but one here's one..

    One time we were on a trip to NY and went on a private tour of the United Nations. (very neat stuff i loved it!) And my mom and i were talking about how cute the tour guide was and my dad overheard.. so he goes "hey mr. so and so wanna take a picture with us?" and then we did.. and after my dad goes (out loud!) "well you thought he was cute so aren't you glad you have a picture to remember him by?!"

    gawsh talk about embarrassing.. and the guy pretended not to notice. and at the very end of the tour we were saying goodbye and as we were leaving for the elevator he turned around and winked at me.. *gah!!!!*

    While at the Mall shopping, I tripped over a rack that was sticking out too far on the floor. I swear it seemed like I fell for 30 minutes! I was sooo embarrassed. =(

    I was bored so I thought I would close my ears and make random sounds to see how those sounds were different through blocked ears. Too bad I was closing my eyes, too.
