Write about something awkward or embarrassing that happened in public - it can be something that happened to you, or something you witnessed happen to somebody else. How did they react?

My son in law is famous for putting his foot in it, so to speak. A young woman who he’d not seen for ages was at a gathering he was also attending. He approached to say hello and ask her how she’d been. “I’ve not seen you for so long,” he said. “ I see congratulations are in order, when’s the baby due?” She just said. “ I’m not pregnant.”
He just apologised and slunk off.
Falling over in public has been the most embarrassing thing I’ve had to endure. I quickly stood up reassuring everyone I’m fine, putting on a smile, whilst all the time thinking ‘that bloody hurts!”
What was it that stopped me sitting in the middle of the street and having a good cry?
