I posted this in a similar thread a while back:

I was in an elevator with my brother at his apartment building in Atlanta about 7 years ago. We were going up to the 7th floor from the lower level garage. There were 2 others on the elevator with us at this point. As we were going up, the elevator stops, and an older black man carrying three watermelons gets on.

Deciding that this was a fantastic opportunity to reinforce a hilarious stereotype, I pull out my flip phone to discretely take a picture.

Thinking my flash was turned off, I snap the pic. Not only was the flash not off, neither was the "crr-chik" sound that phones used to loudly make. The entire elevator is illuminated, and it is obvious to everyone that I just took a pic of this poor man, likely because I'm a racist POS.

The black man just shakes his head as I try to pretend it went off accidentally. No one bought it. They know what I did.

I had a similar moment.

Made sure my phone was on silent, but forgot about the flash. I was at a Gamestop I didn't frequent normally. And the chick at the checkout counter, you could definitely tell she was all kinds of nerdy, but she was super cute and had an insane rack which was spilling out of the Gamestop polo that wasn't buttoned all the way up. I figured my friends would never believe I saw a chick like that working at Gamesotp so I'd sneak in a pic...but the flash!!!!!

I don't think anyone was paying attention and no one was behind me, so I was able to get my phone down before anyone looked back, so I'm not certain they knew what happened...but they probably did.
