Default Most imbarrasing moments on a bike??

We have all had them:
Mine had to be riding threw a campsite at a rally of about 2000 bikers and loosing one end of a bungine cable off my bag which rapped around my sprocket with the other end still attached to by bag and it quite rappidly pulled me off the bike in a left and backwards mottion right near the burger vans in front of about 200 other bikers .... needles to say i was quite well known that rally lol

One of my american freinds moment has to be rideing into a wet petrol station applying the front breaks a bit to hard loosing the front end infront of a good 20 people and by the time he's stood up and picked the bike up he's been asked to leave over the loud speaker.

mine is pulling into a parking spot that is going slightly down hill. I find it impossible to gain enough leverage to push a bike backwards up hill. I had a car sitting for the spot. i had to get off and push it back to get it out of the spot.
for now on i back into spots so i can use the engine to get me out

Had the clutch slip and catch while turning from a dead stop, so I didn't even slide anywhere, just had the wheel spin out too far and the bike fell over. Right in the middle of rush hour. I contemplated pretending to be injured for a moment just to avoid the embarrassment of having to lug the bike up and off the road while everybody waited.
