Can you give me some examples of why you would be embarrassed for someone else?

I always feel embarrassed for someone else, even people on TV! Like, if a character on a show does something embarrassing or finds themself in an awkward situation, I always feel for them! I guess I feel embarrassed for them 'cause I know I would feel like a tool if I was in their situation.

I have a "friend" who has no class. She also has bad manners (don't ask why she is a friend because I don't know). I am always embarrassed for her.
We go into a restuarant (a cafe type place) and she will order a hamburger and ice tea. Instead of saying she likes a lot of ice in her ice tea, she just snaps, "do you put ICE in your ice tea?" Of course the answer is always yes, they don't know what she means. Then she asks for her fries to be extra crispy, which I guess is OK, she just ALWAYS has special requests. If we order breakfast she tells them she wants toast not WARM BREAD. I guess it is more her tone than her requests, though if I were that fussy, I would stay home and eat. Oh yes, one other. She only likes ice berg lettuce but of course doesn't know the name of it, so she always asks if they have REGULAR lettuce. It is funny when I repeat it, but it is so ridiculous and then I don't enjoy my meal as much.

Yes I was just yesterday. I was in Macys and this man was trying to control his daughter. I dont know why but she was screaming so loud like high pitched schreiking kind of scream and kicking and hitting and he picked her up to walk out of the store and she kept sreaming right in his face and crying hysterically. Then she managed to twist herself upside down in his arms so she was kicking in the air by his head. He put her down and she sat on the floor and screamed so he picked her up again and rushed for the door. I felt sooo bad for him!! Everyone in the store was staring and whispering, poor guy needed his wifes help and she was no where in sight!! I cant imagine how embarrasing that would be with everyone snickering. She was a real brat.

I get embarrassed for Greg Anthony on NBA Coast To Coast when he tries to use big words.
