halacha - Examples of having to choose between two "lavs"?


There are classic examples of having to choose between two positive commandments (e.g. if one only has money for one, do you buy wine for Shabbas or candles), and there are known cases where a positive commandment comes up against a negative (e.g. stolen lulav, doing a brits on shabbas).


I was wondering if there was a classic example of someone who had to choose between transgressing on one of two "lavs" (negative commandments), and how you decide which to transgress.
