What was Captain Picard's most embarassing moment in TNG?

The always dignified captain had so many great moments, but like anyone has had some downers as well. What were his most awkward or embarrassing moments?

I know he was in the midst of some soul cleansing cathartic stuff, but to me the fight with his brother Robert in the episode "Family" is fairly weak. A presumably combat trained Starfleet captain struggling with a senior citizen vintner.

Well I don't think he had his heart in it, but it was not his finest moment.
 
In When The Bough Breaks, when Picard receives a hug on the bridge from that little girl. The topper though, is her sucker getting stuck to his uniform. :lol:

It wasn't a sucker it was a (possibly toy) tribble/furry stuffed animal.

Picard obviously didn't use the static-guard sheet in the dryer.
 
There is a scene in "Devil's Due" where Ardra beams Picard in his night clothes to the Science station and he has to ask Worf to send Data to pick him up in a shuttle and bring him a uniform to wear. Maybe not the most embarrassing moment but definitely embarrassing nonetheless.
 
I think it was in "Night Terrors" when the turbolift opens to reveal him screaming in fear. Also one of the most hilarious moments of the series, although I'm not sure if it was intended that way. :D

I always thought he should have followed that up by saying, "Sorry. Wrong floor."
 
Picard cowering in the turbolift was in "Night terrors". The void outside the turbolife was in "Where No One Has gone Before." In that episode, he steps out, there's nothing there, but everything is normal when he looks again. No cowering that i can recall.

I always chuckle when he got his finger stuck in the grate on the prison window in "Attached". Seriously, go have a look. You see him stick his finger in, jiggle it around, realise he is stuck and then he starts yanking on it to get out. Then cut to beverly, back to Picard and he's free because they had to get some stage hands in to help him.
