I was in high school. I thought I could get away with smoking weed in the school's back alley. But then a teacher passed by and smelled it. I got called to the principal's office right away. It was so embarrassing.

Well, a likely consequence is damage to her reputation. In a community or among friends and family, being caught cheating can make people view her differently. Socially, she might be ostracized or gossiped about. Financially, if the situation leads to a divorce, she could face difficulties, especially if she was not the main breadwinner. Also, her relationship with her in - laws, if any, is likely to be severely strained.
In a neighborhood, a woman became suspicious when her husband started acting very secretive about his phone. One day, she saw him meeting a woman at a coffee shop and acting overly affectionate.

There was this guy who thought it was a great idea to use his smartwatch to cheat. He programmed all the key points into it. But during the exam, the watch started beeping with notifications he forgot to turn off. The whole class stared at him as he frantically tried to stop it, and of course, the teacher noticed too.
One common scenario could be getting caught through text messages. For example, the husband might accidentally see a flirty or incriminating text on her phone. Another scenario is being seen in public with the person she's cheating with by a neighbor or a friend who then tells the family. Sometimes, it could be financial evidence that gives it away, like unexplained expenses for dates or gifts for the other person.
I once saw in an online game. A player was trying to use an aim - bot (a cheating tool). But he was so bad at using it that his character was moving in really strange ways. The game admins quickly noticed and banned him. It was quite hilarious to watch his bot - controlled character going haywire before getting caught.
There was a guy who tried to cheat in a card game. He had hidden some extra cards up his sleeve. As he was getting too confident and making big bets, he accidentally dropped a card from his sleeve. Everyone saw it and burst out laughing. He was so embarrassed and of course, caught cheating in the most comical way.
Once, in a school exam, a student tried to cheat by writing answers on his palm. But when he went to the toilet to check, he accidentally washed his hands and all the answers were gone. He came back looking so confused and defeated, it was really funny.
There are those who, when caught cheating, will try to shift the blame. In a business deal, if one partner is caught cheating on the contract terms, they might try to say that the other party didn't communicate clearly. But in general, being caught cheating often leads to a loss of trust. Whether it's in a friendship, a relationship, or a professional setting, once caught cheating, it's very difficult to regain the respect and trust of others.
