What's the most embarrassing thing you've seen happen to someone?

There was this overly obese girl at my school, she had been in the same grade as me since 5th grade when she moved to our town. Her name was Veronica - and at first she was just really fat. But every year she'd put on more and more weight where by time we hit 10th grade she was easily over 450lbs.

To be clear, there was nothing physically wrong with Veronica as to why she was fat. It wasn't some kind of metabolism thing, tumor, cancer, whatever. She was fat because she ate fuck tons of food and did absolutely nothing.

It would be one thing to just be fat - I'm fat. I have no problem with being fat, fat people in general - but this chick was not just fat, she was a cunt. A massive, MASSIVE cunt. She was a bully, intentionally ramming into people in the hallways, that sort of thing. And worse, she was over emotional about everything, would cry and freak out at the first hint of a fat joke - then go sob to a teacher and get you in trouble, even if she provoked it (like knocked you down, on purpose). You can't be a bully, then a tattle tale bitch. Her doing that earned my hate for life.

Which even worse, she was always crying for special attention. Her weight became a "disability" that got her special desks/chairs/bathroom, and she was allowed to leave class 15 minutes early every period.

Well in 10th grade our entire grade went on a field trip to check out this other school we could transfer next year that gives college credits - really beside the point other than our entire grade was there. It was a miserable field trip, rained most the day and we were stuck in doors listening to different teachers talk about different classes we could take. But finally the end of the day came, I was just watching the clock - and I remember being pissed that Veronica got to leave 15 minutes early.

The pathway to the buses, why they were like this I'll never know - but the path with the awning zig-zagged back and forth, multiple times. So if it wasn't raining, it would be much faster to just walk straight through. But because it was raining, we all walk to walk in file- zig zag all the way back to the buses.

I was pretty annoyed that everyone was moving so slow, I just wanted to get on the bus so I could go home - then I noticed everyone was really quiet, but were walking forward, so whatever. Then about the 3rd zig... I see it.

Veronica didn't want to walk the extra 10ft to stay under the awning, tried to walk through and slipped in the mud - landing on her back. Where as if falling in the mud wasn't bad enough but she was so fat she couldn't get up. She couldn't roll over. So she was just wallowing in the mud back and forth, crying and freaking out - which is hard when you're stuck staring into the sky as it's raining.

It's one of those things where it's so funny, you can't even laugh. It's like some sort of horrible car accident that you just can't stop looking at. Everyone. EVERYONE just stared... slowly walking forward. And worse, it just wouldn't stop.

By time we got back to the buses, the shock had worn off and everybody was staring and laughing and talking and more laughing. I mean it just wouldn't end, it went on for over 15 minutes and ultimately took 5 guys from the ROTC training class to get her up. That was after she yanked the principal down when he tried to help her up.

I would have felt bad if she wasn't such a cunt. It was seriously like 5+ years of karma coming round - for everyone to see. I can't imagine a scenario being more embarrassing for someone.

TL:DR Horribly mean fat girl in my school, used her weight as a "disability" to get out of class early. On a grade-wide field trip, as we were leaving she fell in the mud and couldn't get up. Was stuck for over 15 minutes while everyone watched and laughed.
