Driving is the first one that comes to mind. Heavy situation there. I would say anytime alone away from home would be bad because sometimes people don't know how to react. I was on the bus when another lady with epilepsy had a seizure. 3 people started shouting to put things in her mouth. Really? Luckily those folks were out matched by the others who googled epilepsy first aid and in big bold letters is said, "Put nothing in their mouths." I stayed with her until paramedics showed up.
For the funny side, my vote for worst place - really worst time - would be the big dramatic reveal of a show. Like, "...and the murderer was..." seizure. Don't get to find out until you recover.
I'm adding this from an embarrassment only stand point - certainly nothing in comparison to death and serious injury possible in the above situations... And it's kind of a time and place but I'm adding it because man, was this embarrassing. During sex.
The kitchen I must have fallen back and I reached for something to pull me up which was a skillet full of chix grease that went all over me.
Ruth,by the time my dh Dennis got home grease had cooled down and I don't remember the seizure but I have the scars on my upper right arm from the grease.I ended up with 2nd degree burns.Belinda, that must have been horrible. Was the grease hot?
