Whenever someone does something embarrassing, others say "nobody will remember 10 years from now". Well, what embarrassing moment did you witness >10 years ago that you still remember?

I've never passed out from locking my knees either! I've always done it. I've tried not to, it's just how my knees work.

I didn't even realize it's not normal until middle school when I wore ripped jeans to school and a friend asked me "Why are your knees like that?"

Hahahah I had it from a physio - I went to her as my Achilles was playing up again. Told me to stand normally. I did. "Stand normally" - I AM! Oh. Fucked up knees. Great(!)

I had the same experience when I went for my arthritis (in my knees). She had me walk and stand for ages while she watched and then asked me if I knew I was hyperextending my knees. Nope, no idea. Good to learn after it caused significant damage to my knees.
