I was once riding the bus back from university on a very rare occasion (since i don't usually ride the bus or any public transportation), and the bus driver didn't slow down and stop where i wanted to get off, even though i told him to. There's this guy that collects tickets at the back, and i was at the back, so i asked him to tell the bus driver to stop. He yelled and told him to stop, but he didn't.
So then he told me; "Just jump". The bus door was actually open while it was moving, which happens very often. I looked at him for a moment, but then i realized he wasn't kidding. The bus was jammed and the driver couldn't hear us. By the time i would've gotten to the front through the crowd my stop would've been long gone. So, i jumped.
I didn't know how fast was the bus going, but as soon as my feet touched the ground, my face closely followed and smacked right into the asphalt. I rolled about a couple of times and i took both an old lady and her grandson (i'm guessing that this is who he was) in my way.
The kid's glasses flew off his face as he got knocked to the floor. After all three of us got up, she started cleaning him from the dirt, and i did the same for myself, while apologizing sincerely for the horror i've caused them. After she was done and put his glasses back on his face, she turned at me and started to hit me real slow. She was yelling and swearing too. I was kind of just looking at her, with my hands a bit raised to block a little, with tears in my eyes on account of my nose hitting the ground too hard. I apologized again as she hit me, but couldn't restrain myself (even though i really tried), and a smirk drew itself on my face. That angered her further, and she stopped and kept swearing at me while urging her grandson to start moving and they both left.
Just then i noticed three girls dressed in school uniform, probably in high school, who were watching the whole thing and giggling. I still had tears as i looked at them. Then i turned around and started on my way, with a deep scar that never left my heart. A scar of the day i jumped off a moving bus, got injured and tasted asphalt, then got assaulted by an old woman while three teenage girls watched and giggled.

They don't have to be as soul crushing as the above though, any awkward or embarrassing situation will do.
