Think back to your most embarrassing moment.
Do you still cringe? Does it still bother you?
Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! The only thing that can cure the embarrassment sting, is joking about it.
That’s exactly what Andy Ryan did when he posted about accidentally stealing ice cream on a warm day. Oops.
I was in a park and a lady loudly called out "Anyone who wants an ice cream come over here". I headed over with several others. She handed out ices to them all then asked me "Who are you?". I realised the rest were all her family. 30 years later I still cringe.

No harm, no foul right? Sure, the ego took a hit but now Andy can look back and laugh. This sparked a tidal wave of responses from Twitter.
10. A 911 double whammy
My friends woke up in the middle of the night and thought someone was breaking in so they called 911. Turned out it was a crime show on the TV that was left on.

9. A Bighead, little body shove
When my brother was little, he had a small body and a big head, so I would always push his head to make him topple over. One day, we were at the store, he was walking away from me, so it was an opportune time to do it. He turned around… and it was just a random, horrified kid.

8. Misinterpretation
As a child, I noticed some cigars in my father's car. I didn't know he smoked cigars so I asked him if he did. He replied, "Seldom." I misheard that as "Sell them", and for a long time thought my father sold cigars…

6. Maximizing the spend
Was at a coffee shop and a girl yelled “anyone want a coffee? I need to spend $5 more to use my card.” I piped up and said I do. I offered her cash for the coffee of course but it was later that I realized she had a group of friends she was yelling at.

2. That’s a gas!
30 years ago… gas stations with convenience stores had become a thing. I stopped for pepto bismal…. clerk asked if I had gas with that… indignantly told her that I only had an upset stomach!! Walked out to see the pumps… still cringe!!

1. Living proof
One of my most painful childhood memories was the time I blew out another kid's candles. I was three & so ashamed years later I actually stole the photo of me crying out of that family's photo album in the 5th grade & ripped it up & threw it away.
