Set three alarms, slept through all of them, boss saw everything

Was crashing in my car during lunch break in the office parking lot last Tuesday, had my phone on silent like an idiot. Woke up 45 minutes late with drool on my shirt and my manager knocking on the window, said "rough night?" in front of two coworkers. How do you guys handle the shame when your nap plan backfires that bad?

Did your manager at least crack a joke about it after? My buddy once fell asleep in our office nap room and set his alarm for what he thought was the right day, but it was actually the weekend, so he woke up two hours later with the janitor staring at him and the whole office empty. He said the worst part was walking back to his desk with that shame feeling, like everyone in the building somehow knew. He still brings it up as the time he "pulled a 9 to 5 nap" and now he double checks his calendar before he even closes his eyes.
