выставлять себя на посмешище, ставить себя в смешное положение; попасть в дурацкое положение; см. тж. make a sight of oneself

‘I refused,’ his wife said, ‘To make a spectacle of myself by arguing with such a contemptible envious creature.’ (D. Carter, ‘Tomorrow Is with Us’, ch. VIII) — - я не желала выставлять себя на посмешище, - сказала его жена, - и унизиться до того, чтобы вступить в спор с этим завистливым ничтожеством.

Mary: "...Really, he ought to have more pride than to make such a show of himself." (E. O'Neill, ‘Long Day's Journey into Night’, act 1) — Мэри: "...Ну как можно ставить себя в такое смешное положение?! Где у Джейми гордость?"

11 make a nuisance of oneself

(make a nuisance of oneself (тж. make oneself a nuisance))

надоедать, досаждать, докучать (кому-л.)

‘These are not normal times,’ said Soames. ‘To be quite plain, unless I have that information I must tender my resignation.’ He saw very well what was passing in their minds. A newcomer making himself a nuisance - they would take his resignation readily - only it would look awkward just before a general meeting... (J. Galsworthy, ‘The White Monkey’, part I, ch. VII) — - Сейчас ненормальное время, - сказал Сомс, - короче говоря, если я не получу точной информации, я буду вынужден подать в отставку. Он прекрасно видел, что они думают: "Новичок - и подымает такой шум", - они охотно приняли бы его отставку - только это было не совсем удобно перед общим собранием...

If he's the sort of man that isn't happy unless he's making a nuisance of himself, I'm well rid of him. (J. Lindsay, ‘Runaway’, ch. IX) — Если он принадлежит к людям, которые только тогда счастливы, когда становятся кому-нибудь поперек горла, то я удачно избавился от него.

Giotti had ordered Charley off the premises because he was making a damned nuisance of himself. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 31) — Джиотти запретил Чарли показываться в трактире, потому что от него просто житья не стало.

‘You ought to have gone to the authorities,’ he said. ‘Just what I did do, my dear fellow. Made a positive nuisance of myself pestering the police.’ (A. Christie, ‘N or M?’, ch. V) — - Вам следовало бы обратиться к властям, - сказал Блетчли. - Я это и сделал, мой дорогой. Буквально обивал пороги и осточертел полиции.
