Maybe not in history, but in my own life it’s an example that still makes me smile.
I’m disabled (wear a leg brace on my right leg and use elbow crutches). In second grade we were playing Capture the Flag, and somehow I’d gotten to the circle where the flag was on the opposing side. No one bothered to guard me, or even watch the flag. I stuffed the flag in my pocket and scooted as fast as I could past the line to safety. A few seconds later confusion erupted. All eyes on me, I slowly pulled the long red piece of fabric out of my pocket with the flourish of a magician pulling out a silk handkerchief. My entire team erupted in cheers. I was the hero of the day.

Emily from Friends. The man she was about to marry suddenly says his ex's name at the altar. She had a right to be angry. They both made the mistake of not waiting longer to actually get married, but Emily should not have been seen as the villain.

Donkey Kong in the original game. According to the manual, he was abused at the circus and escaped.

The step-dad in Ant-Man, played by Bobby Cannavale, was also a great character. Yeah, he was a cop, but he wasn't a d**k. He cared for Cassie and wanted her to have a relationship with her real dad, but the real dad was a convict who was getting into some dangerous stuff. He was rightfully protective of her and was still willing to hear Scott's side of things instead of just assuming Scott is bad. There is a healthy respect between them.

Teddy (the director of NASA) from The Martian. Everyone hates him because he makes hard decisions that seem to go against saving Mark. But the entire time, he's being practical and worrying about the rest of the crew and future missions. Literally, everyone else is laser-focused on Mark. Teddy is just making sure the organization survives the mission. That's why he's the director; he makes the hard, objective decisions.

"I was caught jumping up and down on my bed in my tighty whities singing the Gilligans Island theme song when I was maybe 7 or 8. I'm glad youtube wasn't around back then."

"Not embarrassing but I ruined a magic show once. The magician said he needed a good kid to help him. I declared myself a good kid and walked on stage. I then proceeded to ruin the trick by pointing out the ball he made disappear was behind a table. He then sent me away."Most-Embarrassing-Moments
"At 14, I peed my pants in the back of a cab on our way back from hanging out with the juvenile delinquents at a local military school we snuck out of our dorm to visit. The ironic touch, for me, was that I was living in a dorm at a college in Virginia instead of going to high-school, because I was in a "gifted" program. Yeah, I was gifted. Gifted with a complete lack of common sense."Most-Embarrassing-Moments
"I remember back in fourth grade I went to a fair and they had a booth where a guy would pour different colored sand in a bottle to create pretty designs. I asked my Dad to get me one with the black, blue, and white that looked like the colors of the Carolina panthers so I could give it to a girl I was crushing on that sometimes wore a Panthers coat. I gave it to her at recess but at some point during the day she had uncorked and poured it into my backpack. She told me to give girls diamonds instead of dirt and she and her friends called me Sandy. I remember being so sad that I asked for water instead of soda with dinner that night. I'm guessing that made some kind of sense at the time."Most-Embarrassing-Moments
"Tripping knees first into the cactus display at a botanical garden. My mum picked needles out of my knees for weeks."

"I burned my house down to a crisp when I was 4. The news channel attempted to interview me (a 4yr old) and all I kept saying was "I like Fire". My brother had to pull me away from that situation..."Most-Embarrassing-Moments
"I had a stomach bug once in middle school and the f***ing nurse didn’t believe me (I may have cried wolf before). I suffered through school all day until finally my last period. We were taking a test and I asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom and before I could finish speaking I projectile vomited over her shoulder and mostly into the trash can. The jock in the class was like “Woah, your throw up looks like sprite!” And even in my stupor I was like what the f***? My teacher made the horse girl walk me to the nurse with the soiled trash bin and horse girl was actually super cool about it. Told me not to be embarrassed and took my mind off it by talking about horses."Most-Embarrassing-Moments
"It was halloween and I was in my Superman costume (7yrs old). I was with my cousin who was a Power Ranger along with my mom and dad. It was one the last homes we visited that night. We knocked on the door and the owner opens up, gives candy and out of no where, a fully grown Doberman squeezes through and chases me for a block or two. I was running full blast, my cape flying all over and shouting. Behind me, the Doberman. Behind the Doberman was my dad chasing after us and behind my dad, the dog owner chasing after us, too. Haha my mom has a deep fear of dogs. I saw her hide behind a tree along with my cousin. Good times."fullmetaldreamboat reply
