今天的主題很有趣，請問，你這一生中做過最丟臉的事情是甚麼呢? 我想，答案不外乎是，在路上撲街、被突如其來的昆蟲下到花容失色、喝酒喝high了之後，做出的許多傻事。可能是，睡在大馬路上、可能認錯人、抱錯人。另外還有一種丟臉的狀況是，上課遲到的時候，當你打開教室的門，全班的同學包括老師都把目光焦點集中在你一個人身上，這個時候，我想，應該不會有人覺得自己很紅，反而覺得很害羞，一心只想要往人群裡面奔去，融入在同學堆中。
還有一種很丟臉的狀況就是，當伎倆被識破的時候。這樣的狀況，通常被識破的人，一開始會強詞奪理，狡辯，惱羞成怒，到後來，不得不與事實屈服時，終於只好誠實道來。當然，這種情況很容易在情侶間發生，而做錯事情的人，一開始都不想要認錯，甚至，還歸罪於另外一方疑心病重。
各位，大家應該都有個轟轟烈烈的人生吧! 分享一下，你做過哪些蠢事，現在回想起來，還覺得蠻丟臉的呢?

What's your most embarrassing moment?
Here's what people in London said:
Walking down the street one day, trying to impress this girl, showing off a bit as you do, you know. And then smack bang!
Walked straight into a lamp post – fell over from the shock! Wasn't good.
What’s always really quite embarrassing is when you think somebody’s waving to you, so you wave back to them. But they’re not, they’re waving to somebody behind you. That’s always quite embarrassing asyou try and brush your hair instead, to pretend you weren’t doing it.
I remember being at school and calling a teacher I really, really hated, "Mum". I've no idea why I called her"Mum". I think it was just a slip of the tongue.
Let’s dig in!
In the interview, the first guy shared his experience when he was trying to go after a girl and got smacked in the end. That was really embarrassing. I am sure it must hurt him so badly. If it happens in high school, the experience could influence him for a long time after wards.
The second experience is also quite common these days since nobody is walking with their head straight up nowadays. People are too busy checking out their phones, send text, watch movies, check out facebook, return calls and reply emails. In fact, walking with your head down is really a dangerous thing to do. What if you walk on a green light and get hit by a car?
The third experience also happens to manypeople. However, I hope that it does not happen to me at all.
The last one is really no one else’s false,but himself! How could someone just have a slip of tongue and call some randomlady mom? No wonder he felt so embarrassed.
