I have experienced embarrassment. For me, though, it's not so much as something happening like a friend of yours saying or doing something stupid that makes you guilty by association. For me, it's wen you are under the impression that you know something, and then you say that bit of information you believe to be true, but it turns out, in front of tons of people, no less, that you are very, very wrong.
I was under the impression that French Guyana was a French colony. Upon expressing the false notion to my French teacher, the look on her face was making me wish I could just teleport myself to anywhere other than there.
Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS check your facts before you believe them to be fact. Or, at the very least, express that you are not certain that it is fact.
