I definitely remember the girl who walked out of her house and down her garden path, stepped on to the street footpath which is on a hill and icy, immediately started sliding down the hill, grabbed the metal railing fence and shouted, terrified, back towards her house "MUM! MUM HELP! MUMMMMM!"
So there's at least one other cringey person.
I don't see that as cringey. She was just scared ๐
Or how about that guy watching a hockey game alone without his friends and was trying to fit in and feel good with other people by cheering with everyone. He jumped up to raise his hands like everyone and instead smacked the back of the head of the person in front of him and ten rows of people who all knew each other looked at him like some kind of idiot. After that whenever a cheer started, a dozen people looked over at him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.
That's another cringey person I can think of.
Both examples are the exceptions that prove the general rule. Nobody remember the time someone had their fly open and only one person noticed, or when they said the wrong thing snd everyone moved on.
We only rememeber the over the top fuckups or people making a huge scene.
I dunno, there was that one person in the last shot of Teen Wolf who had their fly open and then it spawns decades worth of articles. I don't think anyone noticed at the time, but now lots of people have remembered it
I remember the girl who accidentally tried to walk through a glass window. Three times in a row.
... well at least she didn't make it through
But they weren't embarrassed about it
