An Awkward Moment

I am trying to find my seat in the dark and crowded theater, when my friend calls me. The movie is about to start right away, and I feel nervous that I am still crossing a few people to get to my seat in the middle row. At that moment, when my friend shouts out on the phone, “Can you hear me right now?”, I happen to accidentally press the speakerphone button and her voice bursts out loud. I immediately hang up and loudly apologize to the audience. Afterwards, whenever I walk into a theater, this memory haunts me like a nightmare.
