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.
