'Had an attack of food poisoning while in a crowded car for driver's ed': Top embarrassing moments people had in public

It's hard to forget the moments in life that made you never want to go out in public again. Sure, we are often scarred by embarrassing memories from our teenage years, but the truth of the matter is that life never stops getting occasionally embarrassing, and you can really have these "face palm" moments at any stage of your life. 

A friend of mine recounted their own embarrassing moment from just last week when she was on a plane and trying to press the button to get her seat to recline. The button was not working and she was pressing it over and over again aggressively, to no avail… that is, until she looked to her left and realized she was pressing the button on her seatmate's armrest, thereby causing him to go up and down at a rapid pace. So don't worry, kids. Getting embarrassed never ends.
