Yes I have been embarrassed publicly before. Although I wouldn't know how public this is nut I felt like the ground opening up and swallowing me. I travelled to a state for a youth conference and I happened to get a lodge a little far from the venue of the event, well that's what I could get. On the day of the event after dressing up and looking do beautiful in my heels, I got out of the lodge hoping to get a bike man that would convey me to the venue. I stood for some minutes but couldn't get any so I decided to walk up not knowing the distance was very far. When I realised walking was hopeless I decided to hitch-hike and here came this luxurious jeep driving towards me, with a smile I waved it down and it stopped. I quickly hopped in as my legs were killing me already and greeted him, thanked him and pointed the direction I was heading to.
All these while he kept quiet looking at me then he asked me a question that shook me. He said, "why are you in my car?" My goodness, I was dazed. Like what sort of question was that. With a smile I said, "I thought you stopped to give me a lift.?" He replied, "No, this is my house, pointing at a house nearby, I thought you were lost and needed direction, please get down from my car"
At that moment I felt like all eyes were on me. I was so ashamed and embarrassed as I got down from the vehicle and guess what? I had to walk that distance in my heels and I can't forget that day. It was so embarrassing.
