is there a MOST EMBARASSING REAL LIFE MOMENTS thread

the other day i was at the bank and the most blond-esque thing happened to me.

sigh.

[sally]

my dad makes a lot of fun of me and how passionate i get about global warming and the environment sometimes

he left town. the weather was HOT. he came back, and it was ugly. today it rained and was dark and grey..barf and ITS SO COLD

we were talking about rain, and im like, "SEE, THIS. THIS IS GLOBAL WARMING!!!"

and he didnt say anything

and im like IM SERIOUS. this is GLOBAL WARMING in action

and hes like yes...yes this is global warming..now what do you want me to do?

and im like, did this ever happen when you were a kid?! everyday the weather changes. its weird.

and then he cracked up. it was funny. i know its more complicated and debated than simple day to day weather change btw so dont think im dumb. thanks. i was just trying to be dramatic.

im hilarious when im dramatic. which is like all the time.

So I'm at work and this cute little boy [no more than 12yrs old] stops me and asks me if I could help him locate a book.

Me: Sure, which book?
Boy: *holds up a piece a paper that had the title ripped off* This one. The numbers are 0970661134. Do you know where that is?
Me: Ummm, let me see the piece of paper, eh?
Me: *Reads the book location: Sex Advice & Erotica* Ummmmmmm....ahhh...let me go look on the computer for you.
Boy: Oki!
Me:

I find the book on the computer then walk over to the section. I am debating with myself on whether or not I should find the book for the kid or act like it's not there. While debating with myself, I figured- hell why not lecture the kid on making sure he puts crap back. So I start up with, "See? This is why people should put things back where they find it, otherwise it's not easy to find the book when another customer needs it." The kid was so sweet. He was agreeing with me, saying it's not fair, and asking why they do it and that they shouldn't do it. Etc. Etc.

Anyway...I decided to find the book for the kid.

Me: Ah. Here is your...book.
Kid: OKI! GREAT! THANKS!!!
Me: Yeah, no problem.

I watch him scurry off with a big mischievous smile on his face. For a moment I thought the kid was going to skip his way into the bathroom.

Come to find out, after following him, he went up to his dad and together they shared a father-son bonding moment laughing over the pictures in the book.

This isn't cracked out, it's just embarrassing and proves my prejudice. So this morning, while walking to the subway, I spot a guy getting out of his yellow pickup truck. He is a skin-head with tattos, and looks like a neo-nazi.

As always, I'm running late, so I'm carrying my keys and cellphone in one hand, and my lunch in the other, and I'm thinking just move past the guy quickly. I hurry past him, but after five minutes I see the guy running after me. I freak out, seriously, and start walking even faster. It's around 6am, so there are very few people outside.

neonazidude: HEY YOU, WAIT!!!
I think to myself, if you die you die, it's all in the hands of Allah. I turn to him and he goes:
"Miss, you dropped your keys"

Well, lesson for the day, stop being paranoid

[sumiyia]

me: mamoo (uncle)! look at my constitutional law book, its HUGE!
him: what's that say? U. S. E. D? United States... Education Department?
me: .... no. it means used. like previously owned.

Person: I already hit the elevator switch. The light doesn't go on, though.
Me: Well, of course. Why else would you be standing here? But you never know. You could be just some nutcase, standing there, turning your knife...

I'm interviewing for a housemate at the moment.

Girl comes to see the house:

Me: So have you ever wanted to travel to another country in Africa other than Nigeria?
G: Yeah, my dad promised to take us to Ghana when i was younger but he never did. He used to tell us that our grandad was in Ghana when really he was dead.
Me: Okay, Ghana has good sugar plantations

I was returning some shoes today and I saw these women locking up the store:


Me: ohh you guys are closed already?
Girl 1: yeah we close at 7
Girl 2: what did you need?
Me: I wanted to return something
Girl 1: return something?
Me: yeah these shoes *holds out bag*
Girl 2: the shoe store is over THERE *points*

I looked up at the sign and it said OPTOMETRIST and then I realized the girls were wearing SCRUBS
