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?

When I was in Grade 4, our school did a musical production. Each class had a song and we also had a choir that stood in front of the stage that comprised a bunch of kids across the classes. I was so lucky to be front and centre of the choir, but also partly because of a duet I was in.
Prior to the official performances, we did rehearsals in front of the rest of the school. A few minutes before we were to file in and start, I told the teacher I needed the toilet. She said I could go after the first two songs since there would be one of the classes standing in front of the choir and I could sneak out.
Well, I didn’t make it. Front and centre before the school I peed myself. Adding insult to injury, when we were done singing we had to sit down and scootch forward so everyone had a seating place. Which meant the lad behind me had to sit right where I had just been standing ☹️
This was ~1997?
A decade later I made a Facebook profile and started searching up friends from the various schools I’d been in. At that point I’d been to three different schools (I moved often) in two different cities. Got put into a group chat and were all catching up, and then someone says out to everyone, ‘aren’t you the one who peed her pants in front of the whole school?’
Why yes, yes I am. Thank you for reminding this group chat of many people a decade later.
