The most embarrassing moment for me happened just last month when my dad bought me an iPhone. After using it for a few days I started experiencing hearing difficulties during conversations. I assumed there must be an issue with the phone. So I decided to show it to my friend John Paul. Unfortunately he could not figure it out either and suggested that I take it to the nearby Apple Store. When I arrived at the store I explained the problem to one of the employees. He took it to examine and after a moment gave me a puzzled look before handing it back. My curious friend asked him what the issue was. The Apple employee simply told me to remove the plastic cover from the back of my phone and at that moment I felt literally embarrassed. I removed the plastic cover and launched to be more attentive to avoid such embarrassing situations.
