You do/say something that is so stupidly inane there is no way out of it and you are entirely to blame. What do you do? Why?

You can apologize and quietly disappear into the woodwork never to be seen or heard from again and live a very quiet life.

Or you can play the victim and blame everyone but yourself and attack attack attack double down double double down attack attack attack.

Or you can make a grand departure (I'm gonna take my marbles and go home) in a very theatrical way with a very haughty demeanor
