High Noon: Open Mouth, Insert Foot

JeanieSpokane: omg, I just remembered something I did when I was a teen.  Really bad - kind of like anonymously posting nasty comments about someone else.  I was in a restroom at church camp (of all places) and I was gossiping about another girl, something derogatory.  The toilet flushes and out she walks.  I was so mortified - and to this day I strive to never say anything bad about anyone else, no matter what!

Question: Have you ever suffered an embarrassment similar to Jeanie's in which you said something about someone, not realizing that s/he was in earshot?
