It is a small world and there is not much difference in the behaviour and mannerisms of the people all around. There will be change in language and culture but the human mind has certain traits that run across boundaries. Reactions to embarrassing moments is one of the. There are quite a number of such moments that happen in our lives. We remember some while we forget others; but those that happen to be the most undesirable stay with us for quite a long time.

Take a look at the following moments that can take place in anyone’s lives. Have you ever found yourself in any of these of situations? If you have you must be well aware of how embarrassing they are.

10 Embarrassing Moments That We All Face

Sweat patches: Those dark coloured patches in your underarms do tend to stand out very distinctively in public. And if they happen to give off an odor you will be running for cover. After all who would bear to be looked as with strange eyes from all around?

Food stuck in teeth: You have had a hearty meal at a restaurant or the office canteen and cleaned your mouth very well; you at least think so. But the moment you look at yourself in the lift mirror you get the shock of your life. There is this green or black colored thing stuck right in between your teeth and every time you smile they stare at the other person.

Falling down in public: It could be spilled water, a loose running wire or just a twist of the foot; the moment you fall down in public all eyes turn towards you. You are screaming in your head that you are fine and no one need to come to you but can hardly do so in reality.

Button or zip accident: This is too embarrassing to happen to anyone. You either notice the front button having left its buttonhole or a zip forgotten to be pulled up. Be it either case you need to save your face.

Child yelling in market

Child yelling in market: One of the most embarrassing moments that parents face is that of a child yelling in public. The little ‘innocent’ soul wants something and will try all kinds of methods to get his way. You as a parent will not know what do as such a public display.

Opening doors in wrong direction: At times the look of the door will just not tell you in which direction it opens. And this happens to be one among the most embarrassing moments that happen to everyone. While the door opens with a push you might stand there pulling at it or vice versa.

Forgetting someone’s name: You happen to meet someone after a very long time. The face seems to be familiar to you and you get into conversation but the embarrassing moment comes when you realize that you do not remember the name of the person.

Spillage at parties: Parties, dinners and gathering are places where there are many people present. In such times if you happen to spill water or any other kind of drink you are sure to attract attention and end up having red ears and nose.

Awkward ringtone

Awkward ringtone: Your phone is not just yours but also ‘belongs’ to your child too; after all you do give him the freedom to make changes on your phone. And if an awkward sounding ringtone blares off in the middle of a meeting how do you save face?

Eating noodles in public: Chinese food is surely very tasty but have you ever eaten noodles in public? Small noodles are no problem but if some of them are very long they never tend to get over. The noodle ends up hanging down from your mouth and you make every effort to eat it as soon as possible.

There are embarrassing moments that happen to everyone at some time or the other. Do not get intimidated by these moments and accept them as a part and parcel of life. At times they tend to spice up your life too.
