The most embarrassing moments -
1) Charging out a shop without paying (S'pore)
2) In my former work place, I charged into guys toilet to lecture my students who brilliantly hid in the toilet thinking that I will go in. So I charged in and lecture them. After lecturing, I realised the Senior Pastor of the church (I use to work in a church) is in the toilet(S'pore)
