I gave a grand derasha once, there were very chashuva talmudei chachumim {rabbanim, roshei yeshivos, etc.} at the head table, it was a pilpul, and somewhere in middle I forgot which rishon/achron said what, tried looking into my papers but saw it'll take me to long to figure it out, so I humbly asked the head table yidden to fill in my void...

turns out no-one followed along...

Had to itch my ear for quite some time, to conceal my ear {as if I had a airpod}, because someone saw me talking to myself in the streets...

I once davened maariv during the weekday to a shabbos maariv. After maariv someone came over to me to say "Good Shabbos". At first i didn't know what he was talking about... That was my first maariv for the amud in 9th grade..

This morning I was davening shacharis (don’t get too excited, I wasn’t the ש״ץ) in a nusach Sfard shul (like I nearly always do, thank the Lord), and, for some reason, after the קדיש following יבא לציון, I, quite loudly of course, start on עלינו. Yes, while everybody else (and the usual me) went to the שיר של יום.
And again, of course, the guy next to me gave me that look.

And how about cracking my teeth up on the הדרן עלך וכו' קדיש today for תענית בכורים in front of a packed shul...
