I had an embarrassing moment 🤦♀️ which involves just this. I was a Junior transfer student at a university. I had to go to orientation speeches @ 3 pm the first day of classes (requirement). One speaker was SO boring that I fell asleep. He paused in his speech, and I suddenly woke up thinking he was finished and started clapping. Oops…

The whole assembly broke out laughing. This poor speaker said, “well, I’ll take that as a cue, enjoy the rest of the day.”
I felt so stupid, but a number of students gave me a pat in the back as we exited the building, saying I saved their day. That was the last year those speeches were given.
