How embarassing.

What is your most embarrassing moment?


There was a time when I falsely accused a bus driver of giving me incorrect change, as if he was trying to rip me off for 50 cents or something. I'm not really ashamed of being wrong, as everybody is wrong every now and then. I am a little ashamed about being petty enough to care about the small amount of change that I thought he had stolen from me, since even if he had, he probably needed it more than me, but what is most embarrassing is how angry and rude I was and the tantrum I threw during the few minutes that I thought I was right. This experience, I think, is a pretty good example of how "righteous indignation" often leads us to do things that are a: fundamentally unrighteous, and b: stupid. So, that's pretty much the most embarrassing thing I can think of.
