Dear Reddit, what's the most embarrassing situation that you managed to wiggle out of?

I'll go first. I was in grade school and we were reading silently to ourselves in a giant lobby. All of a sudden, I felt a rumble in my 10 year old tummy. The pressure was building and fighting for immediate release. I knew it was coming, the gases were brewing. Ominously, my stomach rumbled in final warning. Foolishly, I decided to ignore the signs and let one out thinking it would be silent. Much to my chagrin, it shot out like a rifle and echoed throughout the hallways. I broke out into a cold sweat. I tried not look guilty but that only made me sweatier. I looked down at my book, pretending to read, as I heard laughter across the room. I looked up only to see a tubby kid laughing and pointing in my direction. I was so embarrassed. Through the corner of my eye, I looked at my poor neighbor, Colin. To my surprise, his face was redder and guiltier than mine. By some stroke of fate, he happened to have farted at the same time! Everyone blamed him but not me, maybe because he had just won the school hot dog contest or maybe because he was fat. Regardless, I am still thankful that I managed to escape the judgement of all my elementary school peers (that day).
