I was teaching a keyboarding class and demonstrating how to center a table and it didn't work. I knew I had done it correctly but for some reason the table didn't center. My comment to the class was "Oooh, that is embarrasing. I know that is how it is done. Let's see what went wrong." We played with a few things and finally got it to work. (Computers can just be perverse sometimes.) As long as I was unconcerned and could laugh about it, the students took it in stride. I don't think it hurt my credibility with the students.
