Forgetting people’s names and unsightly sweat patches are among the most common faux pas that leave Britons blushing with embarrassment four times a day.
Tripping in public and getting food stuck between teeth are also humiliating moments that most try hard to avoid and one in seven say a relationship has ended because something embarrassing happened.
Commissioned by Ladbrokes， the research found that the biggest embarrassments were most likely to have been in the workplace while stories involving things going wrong in front of the in-laws were also very common.
A Ladbrokes spokesman said： “Everyone does their best to be composed and cool wherever they are， but it isn’t always going to work and clearly there are many pitfalls.”
“The good thing is once the awkwardness clears the little things that throw us can eventually be looked back on and laughed about.”
A fifth of people have had a public speaking nightmare that they would rather forget and the most embarrassing speaking blunder is having your voice break or squeaking high pitched unexpectedly.
And one in seven Britons have been so embarrassed that they have fled a room to avoid the awkward stares.
The spokesman said： “The good thing about this list is no one is immune and we’re all guilty of having done at least some of these things.”
“Certain situations have more potential for embarrassment than others of course but the thing to take remember from all of it is there’s no point taking yourself too seriously.”

一天脸红四次
――最让英国人脸红的50个瞬间
忘记人名、难看的汗渍，这些失态行为都是让英国人一天脸红四次的最常见的原因。
在众人眼前绊倒、食物残渣夹在牙缝中，也是许多英国人极力避免的尴尬时分。七分之一英国人称，自己曾有一段恋情因为发生了尴尬的事而告终。
立博公司委托开展的这一调查发现，最让英国人脸红的事情最经常发生在工作场所中，在姻亲面前犯错也是最让英国人脸红的。
立博公司的一名发言人说：“每个人都努力在任何情况下保持沉着冷静，但有时候还是冷静不下来，显然陷阱比比皆是。”
“好的一面是一旦尴尬过去，那些让我们绊倒的小事情，以后在我们回首时，可以作为趣事来谈笑。”
五分之一的英国人在公共场合发言方面都有一段不堪回首的回忆，最让人尴尬的错误就是说话破音，或是突然发出尖声。
七分之一的英国人曾经陷入迫使自己逃离现场来躲避众人目光的尴尬境地。
立博公司的发言人说：“这份清单的好处是让人们知道谁都无法避免尴尬，我们都曾因做过其中一些事而愧疚。”
“当然，某些情形比其他时候更容易出糗，但你要记住的是，没必要太把自己当回事儿。”
