I believe this is an interesting topic to talk about. The most embarrassing moment for me happened two months ago. I was on a plane with my wife and her parents and it was a family trip to Hawassah. We were hoping to see different tourist attractions such as lakes, churches and also historical monuments. What happened was because we were late for boarding, my wife couldn’t get a seat next to me and so she sat behind me. During the flight, I thought I would surprise her and reached my hand back onto her knee. Slowly, I kept extending it up her thigh until I heard giggling. Then, I looked behind through the seats and saw that my hand was on the leg of the guy next to her. He saw my face and said I just wanted to see how far you’d go. Of course, my wife was on it and started laughing along with the rest of the row. Even if I was very embarrassed at that moment, it made me laugh too.
