You know when you're trying to fall asleep and your brain randomly remembers all the most embarrassing things you've ever done in your entire life? It's kind of the worst.
You may have gone years without remembering that time you totally blanked on someone's name, or waved at a stranger on the street who was actually waving to someone behind you or fell flat on your face in front of a crowd of people. But your subconscious definitely did not forget. Right as you're drifting off to sleep, it'll remind you of the most cringe-worthy moments of your entire life. Good luck getting to sleep after that.
On the bright side, I bet most of your embarrassing moments probably weren't caught on camera. That's more than can be said for a lot of the people on this list. While other people's embarrassment may make you cringe, you can at least rest assured that your discomfort is nowhere near as intense as their own.
A trip to the dentist.

So patriotic.
This is actually a great way to respond to embarrassing situations. Just stand there and salute. What are people going to do? Laugh at a patriot? Not likely.I'm stuck!
I never realized people could become stuck like this, but it makes total sense. I guess I'll just have to continue my life of avoiding skate parks.Sit down!
Don't worry. It's not like you were on TV when you did this very embarrassing thing! Oh. Wait.Cheek to cheek.

Excuse me...?
I will grant you that the checkout lines at Trader Joe's are a little awkward, and the parking lots are always the worst. But I truly do not understand how you thought a cart full of groceries was filled with sale items. This one is on you, friend.Dear old dad.
