Embarrassing moments

[kammy101]

I don't now if I remember but, when I was in 5th grade I aciddently kissed my teacher, for some reason I can't remember why. It was so embarassing

Hehe, I've done that. I've thought I've found jewelry too, only to find it was some kind of metal scrap.

What's bad is when someone intentionally super glues money to the pavement, and then watches everyone try to pick it up. I've fallen victim to that.

Any time I'm in a public restroom and the stall I'm in runs out of toilet paper. Even if nobody's around (they had better not be), there is something undignified about a pantsless mad dash to the adjacent stall.

Gee, you think?

Today we stopped at a gas station and I went to use the bathroom. There was no seat on the toilet. Do women never go there or something??

What if someone walks in mid-dash?!

Heck, I've been to this campsite in Italy where there weren't even any toilets at all, just holes embedded into concrete slabs, so you basically had to go standing up, whatever your gender. Apparently they're supposed to be more hygienic than the regular kind, though they were clearly designed more with the men in mind than the ladies. I hated them.

It could be worse. I could dash into an occupied stall.

I had one today. Kind of funny, too. For those who don't know, I work in retail, and like many retail companies, we have special stools to help us reach product on high shelves. My company uses special stools that have wheels on springs so you can easily transport it throughout the building, but once ten or more pounds are applied to it, four rubber feet hit the floor so the stool stays stationary and safe while someone is standing on it. Well, this morning (thankfully before business hours), I was stocking the new load, and I needed a stool. I was in kind of a hurry, and I guess I was in a good mood so I had a little extra energy, so when I got a hold of the stool, I briskly scooted it across the floor while leaning on it. As it happens though, I leaned on it a little too much, and the front two rubber feet hit the floor. The stool came to a screeching halt, and flipped over. And then there I went, flying over the flipped stool, doing a complete somersault in mid air while doing so. It was one of those things where I can see and feel myself flipping in slow motion, and in a moment of panic I'm thinking "I'm going to land on my head and break my neck!!" Thankfully though, I caught myself with my hand and landed on my leg. Pinched my finger pretty good, I might have a bluish nail in a day or so. And I have a nasty bruise on my left shin, and right thigh. But I'm ok. I'm also lucky none of my colleagues saw me, although that's not to say no one heard the "crash" of the stool flipping over. It was still embarrassing.

Ooh. That definitely sounds like it hurt.

I'm glad to know you're okay, though.
