Top Ten Embarrassing Things That Can Happen While Giving a Public Speech

The Top Ten

Your smartphone rings loudly

Imagine I that happens

Yeah and you forgot your ringtone was quite um... strange!

And your ringtone is Anaconda.

Someone comes and pulls down your pants while you're engaged in speaking on a hot topic

That person might get arrested - BorisRule

Dang that would be tough to live down - Randomator

Then this would rather become a comedy show - yatharthb

You accidentally say some expletives out of habit and carelessness

Like "what the....". Something like that. - Kiteretsunu

A rat passes by and you scream and jump out of fear

Especially if it’s a high pitched girl scream - Randomator

If I saw somewhan scream about a mouse, I will laugh so hard, I will die laugh out loud - XMrGentlemanX

You get off topic and start talking about your childhood, your neighbours and their nasty pets

Hi! I'm future president lovefrombadlands. If you elect me, I will quit. When I was 8, people gave me food on the bus. Did you hear what my neighbor's pet wolf did? It made me go off topic in my speech 5 days ago! I never go off topic!

After giving a speech for just 3 minutes, you fall down out of exhaustion
You faint after seeing a huge crowd in front of you

Well good luck living that down

You pee your pants
Your microphone stops working and then you shout at the top your voice and still no one is able to hear you

Especially if you were singing.

This would be especially embarrassing if, while your microphone is off and you shout the rest of the speech and then your microphone starts working again... - Britgirl

Just like Forest Gump... - Randomsoldier23

You finish your speech and then see the public sleeping

The Contenders

Someone in the crowd stands up and criticizes your speech

This happened to someone I knew. I was there. It was somewhat awkward. - PositronWildhawk

You poop your pants

Oh my lanta - Gehenna

You fart

Everyone laughs

Your voice cracks
You burp
You vomit
The public leaves you alone
You forget what you were about to say
You trip while walking up to the podium
You drop the microphone and it makes a loud screeching sound

And the crowd goes “AGH”

You get an erection

No one would notice since you're behind the podium.

No one has to know though. - 2storm
