Show sb up in front of neighbours

Explanation:
show sb up: to behave in a way that makes someone you are with feel ashamed or embarrassed.

I think this expression is more informal, and it's more commonly used with "in front of..." in such contexts.

Example sentence(s):

I wish you wouldn't show me up in front of my parents by getting so drunk.
She says I showed her up in front of her friends when they came to the house.
