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

The Top Ten

1 Your smartphone rings loudly

Imagine I that happens

Yeah and you forgot your ringtone was quite um... strange! - Curti2594

And your ringtone is Anaconda.

2 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

3 You accidentally say some expletives out of habit and carelessness

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

4 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

5 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!

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

Well good luck living that down

8 You pee your pants
9 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
