What would be an interesting/funny/awkward experience you had with the「空気を読む」(くうきをよむ）culture you had or have heard of?

I want to explain the phenomenon to others and I can do it conceptually and with some basic examples, but I was wondering if you guys had any interesting/funny/awkward experiences or stories of how 空気を読む is pivotal to communicating within Japanese culture and how 空気を読めないこと can be lead to situations which are awkward, funny, surprising etcetera
