I've never forgotten to put it down but have put it down not fully and it rolled off.
But nobody saw it,

Slightly different story, but many decades ago when mind altering 'tabs' were all the rage. A friend and I pulled up at some traffic lights together, he looked over at me and smiled, forgot to put his feet down and just keeled over in the road still giggling like a madman !

Once only ,in front of a few of the region .But because of my inner strength nothing happened and the bike was upright lively.

Left it down once or twice.
A few years ago in Spain after stopping to admire the view. You guessed it, yes the twisty road, armco, big empty space on the other side, brown trousers. The experience has served well as a form of aversion therapy, ie an aversion to not checking your stand before pulling away. Its one of those things in life you have to do once.
Never forgot to put it down though.
