The Ostrich Moment

Have you ever said or done something, or been at the wrong place at the wrong time that you regret it for the rest of your life...Been mortified to such an extent that you wish you could bury your head in the ground to save yourself from the embarrassment?Well, who hasn't? And it's painfully humiliating when your friends or relatives keep reminding of the same and point and laugh at you until you wish you could die out of embarrassment. Such moments are hell funny when you're on the other side of the finger, otherwise, it just makes you want to give them the finger.Here's a list of of the most embarrassing moments a.k.a ostrich moments, which I've experienced or been told about(you may choose to empathise or just point and lol)

• Smoka, during her freshman year at college, in a desperate attempt to make new friends; when asked about her day and her classmates, she says to her bus-mate, "My class is full of nerds. Everyone, below 100 rank in CET. I mean who gets that?!" When the girl gets off the bus, Smoka's classmate says to her, "What did you just say to her? Do you know what her rank is?160!"
• Vin, sitting in a noisy class, earphones on, singing to himself; all of a sudden, everyone falls silent just when he's hitting a high note and his voice sounds squeakier than a mouse. If it was someone else in Vin's place they would never again sing another song in public.
• At a gift shop, buying a birthday gift, being a good friend; I find a Mungaru Male VCD. on the rack and my thoughtfulness resurfaces and I say to Smoka, "I know you want this. Let me buy it for you." Smoka just rolls her eyes and walks away without even considering it. The sound of my heart breaking was camouflaged by a tap-tap-tapaar noise of the CDs, as they fell one after the other onto the floor in a cascade fashion, when all I could do was stand there and give an OMG-WTF-have-I-done-expression. Trust me when I say, "The tap-tap-tapaar noises continue to haunt me in my nightmares."
• SN at a mall with her parents(as if that isn't embarrassing enough! But, wait! There's more!), her parents ask her to get a shopping basket and when she does she realises that there are a million pairs of eyes staring at her, giving her a what-are-you-upto-look. She is almost paralysed out of embarrassment when she realises that she had in fact picked up the basket meant for wine shopping.
• At Sanc's place, trying to study for a Physics test, when my phone rings; It's an unknown number, I just say "hello. who's this?" And the guy on the other side says "Hi! This is Rajesh." Realising that it must be a jobless loafer making prank calls to random numbers, I just say "OK" and cut the call. Till date, Sanc gets keyed up, upon hearing the name 'Rajesh' and doesn't stop laughing until either one of us chokes.
• NM in an airport at Bahrain, is taken to the business class lounge by her "caretaker", and she is loving it as it has a mini-arcade and a browsing center and she has it all to herself. She gets a call from her parents on her cell phone, she exclaims to them, "The business class is awesome! It has this amazing arcade and everything! I love it!" When she comes out, she finds that people are smirking at her. NM dear, the business class may be amazingly awesome but it is slightly flawed. The arcade isn't sound proof.
