Stupidest or most embarrassing thing you did lately?

I mentioned this in another thread but it belongs here, too.

While on a nice, lazy bicycle ride on a paved path last Sunday, and while riding my full suspension mountain bike (because my wife was on the hybrid bike), I managed to hook my rear tire on a railroad track. I was clipped in to the pedals and as I lost all forward progress and pumped hard to try to power out of it all I managed was to power myself right into the ground. I did this right in front of a park full of people and got so twisted up on the ground that I had to unclip my left foot with my hands to start the process of getting back up.

Similar story about my first mountain bike with pedal clips. I clipped in my new shoes, pedalled out the back of the store to their parking lot and realized I never learned how to unclip. A car approached so I slowed to a completed stop and then just flopped over bike and hall onto the blacktop. I had to lay there until the bicycle store people ran over and show me how to unclip my feet.
