Congratulating or awarding someone in front of an audience, only to realize they are not the intended recipient; then, having to retract your congratulations, leaving them standing there awkwardly with a half-frozen smile on their face. Painful.
Sheila, Congratulations on being the top salesperson of the year!!! Here is your plaque showing our appreciation! Oh wait, this says SHAWN... Sheila was not the winner, and thus, the loser. Sorry for the Steve Harvey.
