Regarding the question I asked in a previous post – does anyone know of any other cases (besides the 5 possibilities I came up with) where someone could forgot to light but didn’t forget it was Shabbos- I hope no one felt put on the spot by that question.
While I am interested in knowing of other possibilities, I realize that it could be embarrassing to answer that question. However, you could just say that it happened to your friend, and there’s no reason that anyone would know the difference.
