'It's been 15 years and I'm still mortified': 20 embarrassing moments that still haunt people to this day

Who doesn't have an embarrassing memory that keeps you up at night? No matter how much time has passed or how much therapy you may or may not have undergone, you still find yourself thinking about that one moment that never fails to send shivers down your spine.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a universal human experience, and there is no real treatment plan for being human. For instance, it has been twenty years since I stepped in dog remains on the street and I still check my shoes every block and a half to see if I have done it again. Sure, embarrassing moments build character, but they also build unnecessary amounts of anxiety and habits. I know that in twenty more years, I will still be checking my shoes every so often, especially if I am still walking the streets of New York.
