We all embarrass ourselves from time to time but some things are just embarrassing for no reason.
Walking across a zebra crossing.
Opening gifts in front of people.
Walking out of a shop without buying anything.
What are some things you find unnecessarily embarrassing  |

Asking for soft drinks in a pub.
Phone calls. Any phone calls.
People watching me try to fix things (because I’m usually making it up as I go along). |

I dont like eating in front of people, I never used to be able to go out for food at all. I can now, but still find it embarrassing.
Walking into a room knowing someone is already there waiting for me. I always think they are watching me come in. So I always make sure I am there first |

"Walking into a room late. And for this exact reason, I try my best never to be late. "
I've done this and it was at the time when buckle shoes were in fashion, so I'd walk past everyone making a jingling sound with each step so couldn't even do it discretely

Using a contactless bank card to pay for the bus fare, and ending up holding up everyone behind because the stupid scanner needs to take more than 3 seconds to detect my card and record payment when I am alighting. The rest don't need to because they just bought the bus ticket on the bus app in question and scanned the one time when boarding.  |

THIS. Someone gets it!!!
Even worse when you have to get off from the front of a bus and not the back (either because it's too packed and/or the bus only has one door at the front, and the driver gives you that annoyed look when he has to turn on the card scanner specially for you to tap out before you get off. I actually got scolded once by a bus driver for getting off at the front of a bus with two doors (one front one middle) because I just came down from the stairs and didn't want to squeeze past people to get off from the back door. He ticked me off saying "the back door's for exiting, next time use that so I don't need to turn on the front scanner for you!".
And this was two weeks ago. I'm still mortified thinking about it. |

Getting a new ancient citizens bus pass and not knowing what to do when you get on the bus. Fortunately for me plenty of young people were able to help an old gal out with the new fangled tech.
I used to know what to do in these situations and now I'm embarrassed that I don't |

Going to a pub on my own and reading a book/newspaper. I know it shouldn't be, but..
Exceptions tend to be when said boozer has an open fire and a dog basking in its warmth. Then I'm onto a winner. |

I’m curious about this.
I understand the gifts one, but what is it about the other two make you feel embarrassed? |

Walking down a busy street then realising you're going in the wrong direction/forgotten your money/not enough time or whatever and have to turn around and walk back where you've just been...
..especially embarrassing if speed walked passed some of the people |

Many very relatable embarrassments in the thread so far.
For me something I find embarrassing is going shopping in places that I know are too posh/expensive for me (which is almost every shop really)
Also, if I'm shopping for clothes, I often would like to go and look at women's clothes and pick out some nice outfits for myself, but I'm too embarrassed too.
Being in the same room as people when they're listening to my music, I just want to die when that happens. |

If it's a work thing just lie.
We do it as a group all the time.
If we are asked to tell the group something about ourselves others wouldn't be aware, just lie through your teeth, it's hilarious, especially if a few of you take part.
I told a group I hold the womans record for a free fall parachute jump without oxygen, a male colleague said he was shot while working in Africa.
Give it a go.

"Crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing when the lollipop lady is there. Mortifying. I’d rather walk down the road and risk death by crossing 4 lanes of traffic"
Why.
Try saying thank you to him or her and maybe asking if they are OK.
The lollypop lady outside our local school is wonderful, always happy, always waving to cars when they have stopped and always a kind word to mums, dad's and kids. Puts many of us to shame. |

Sorry I live in rural Wales and our bus service is shockingly bad so maybe thats why this question is being asked, but you have to be scanned OFF the bus?? Why? Surely once you buy your ticket and get on thats it? Or it is where I live anyway |

I gave work up as a bad job years ago  but I hated it then and wish I'd thought of your suggestion .

If you buy a bus ticket you scan once when you board. If you use contactless you tap on and off. Supposedly its to account for differences in pricing according to distance travelled but as far as I know here in Bath I still get flat fare anyway when I take the dedicated bus services to and from uni. |

I cringe at having to say things in other languages, like when ordering food. I either don't want to make a fool of myself saying it wrong or know how to say it but don't want to look like a pretentious ass. So end up pointing at the menu and saying 'um, the chicken one'
I also get really embarrassed when someone says or spells something incorrectly and you have to use the word after them. So do you look really passive aggressive and do it properly or save their embarrassment by using their version and look like you don't know either? For example, I was on a course recently and the tutor kept talking about 'clearing the cash-ay (cache)' on computer systems and I was sweating .
I find life to just be a string of constant mild embarrassments, I'm clearly an overthinker! |

When have just had a disgusting shit and someone walks in the cubical just after you leave.
And shitting on a plane, thinking everyone has clocked how long it took you. The above also applies

Having to do an impression of an Olympic speed walker, because someone is holding a door open for you.
Holding a door open for someone before realising they’re a little too far away and they probably now hate you for making them speed walk

Jeez I really don’t have much shame.
In my teens and 20’s I used to blush like a beetroot, but it didn’t seem to be related to how embarrassed I was. Blushing at inappropriate moments and people thinking that I was embarrassed was embarrassing!
So little embarrasses me at all these days |
