Shame Delay

The extra time spent sitting on the toilet waiting for other patrons of the men's room to leave. Usually occurs in corporate settings after malodorous toilet episodes.
"I had like a 7 minute shame delay because my boss was in the crapper next to me."

"I knew the guy in the stall next to me began a shame delay, but there was no way I was coming out first. However, after 4 minutes of silence we both gave up and went to wash our hands. It was awkward."

tube of shame

The London Underground conveniently closes at night from around 0030 to 0500 (because obviously everyone's asleep then).

Catching a 'tube of shame' is when one catches one of the early morning services home after a particularly massive night out, or worse one-night-stand.

The 'shame' is normally attributed to a combination of a comedown/hang-over you have and the reflection time you have on the train as you piece together what actually happened the previous night and how to explain it to friends.
Johnny answers phone
Ben: "... what were you doing last night with that girl/boy?"
Johnny: >>No comment<<
background noise of street/trains etc...
Ben: "Where are you?"
Johnny: >>no comment<< (too hung over, tired/mashed)
Ben (smirking): "Tube of shame :)"
Johnny: >>laughs in acknowledgement and hangs up<<

COVID shame

The adolescent backlash sustained by an individual who manifests corona virus symptoms, secretly tests positive, but fails to self-isolate and continues to attend school, sporting events, parties and other social gatherings despite the serious collateral health risks posed to direct and secondary contacts.
WTF!? Mary, that idiot, actually KNEW she was positive and came to the party ANYWAY?! Hold on a minute while I say g'bye to my grandparents while they're still fuckin' breathin'...if anyone needs a lesson in COVID shame, it's that dumb bitch. Kripes, be part of the solution not part of the fuckin' problem.
