We’ve all had embarrassing moments in our own lives. You know, the ones you wish you could take back and that haunt you at 3 AM while you’re trying to fall asleep.

One day everybody was in the cafeteria and she came through and got line and slowly made her way through the line but right before the cashier her two crutches hit water and spread apart and she face-planted with a loud slap.
