Were you ever embarrased in public?

Everyone of us who have spend some time in the adult world would have had one or the other experience of being embarrased in public. For me, the first incident that came to my mind is the day when i went for my driving license test.In my country, we have this learner's exam-a written exam conducted directly by the police.Many of us are jam packed in an exam hall and supervised by real life police inspectors for an half an hour test. What happened was that i forgot to take my pen along with me and had no choice but to stand up and ask the highest ranked officer there for a pen to write.The firing that followed and the 'nice' stares i recieved from all around still remain fresh in my memory.What's worse is i was the youngest in the hall !!
