Obligatory this happened 15 years ago.
I got a job being the cameraman for our basketball team for game film which doesn't sound as fancy as it really is, it was basically just me with a camcorder following the players around and getting footage of the game that they could then watch later.
This is back when camcorders only used tapes and you couldn't delete anything you shot which was my first mistake.
My second mistake was getting bored during halftime and trying out the zoom function on the kids in the stands across from me who happened to be some of my friends and the girl I had to crush on at the time. So I'm zooming in and out with the camera for probably 3 minutes when I realized that it was still recording. I knew that the team was going to rewatch this footage for game footage and I desperately tried to find a way to delete or go back over the footage with game footage, but unfortunately there was no rewind function on the camcorder.
The basketball coach happened to be my math teacher as well and thankfully we had a pretty good relationship since I played on his team earlier, but that also means he called me out in front of the entire class during math and basically said " did you have fun with the camera last game FlatulentWallaby?" And I knew immediately that he had seen the footage, which was probably one of the more embarrassing moments of my life.
TL;DR When filming a basketball game for the high school team I forgot to stop recording when I was playing around with the camera and ended up looking like a creep spying on my friends from across the stands.
