What would embarrass you?

Falling over in public

The kids acting out in public, they're way too old for that to be excusable now.

Not much to be honest - maybe when I am wrong about something. I have a reputation for "always having to be right" but the trick to that is to never open your mouth unless you are absolutely sure. It increases your batting average.

Falling over in public is definitely one for my sister. When we were kids, we were going into the mall alone for the first time (she was probably about 13 and I was 9 I think). We were watching the ice skaters and, boom , she walks flat into this stand with brochures and such on it. They went everywhere! Then she tried to blame it on me. Many, many years later, when we wer ein Japan together, she was walking behind me, when suddenly I turned around to notice she was on the ground. She ate it walking into one of those little concrete stanchions near a park. Oh, how I wish I had that on video!

For my DH and I to be observed bickering in public. It's happened on occasion during very stressful situations when we're struggling to hold it together and although I assume no by-passer really cares, I am always ashamed of us when it happens.

I can't say it because it would be embarrassing.

Being singled out in a group and asked to say something. I would die on the spot, I'm sure.
