Guys, what’s the most embarrassing memory you wish you could erase?

1. People in the room heard me fart
2. Caught wearing socks with holes
3. Loudly hummed to myself thinking no one was around
4. People around me heard my stomach grumble
5. Caught with my zipper undone
6. Slipped and fell on a wet floor
7. Accidentally wore a pair of different socks
8. Caught flashing my best smile in the mirror
9. Discovered there was no money in my wallet, forcing my girlfriend to pay for the meal
10. Forgot to shave and went to work with a five o’clock shadow
