What was your most embarrassing moment of 2020?

[Squandered]

Messaged a shitty bitchy message about someone TO them. Luckily it just looked like I was being a bit passive aggressive as it was like “alright well I won’t be able to drop everything on Monday to help you out if you’re being disorganised and expecting me to sort it out, so suit yourself ” but this person was a couple tiers higher than me and I saw a lot of typing and deleting before he finally rolled “that’s ok, don’t worry about it” or something. Still get that swoops feeling of horror when I think about it.
4 weeks later I started my new job with much relief!

Yeah… you’d think wouldn’t you

[Epimer]

Still get the cold sweats about how close I got to texting “Andy’s such a fucking fanny, he’s managed to fuck up his travel AGAIN and is too much of a fanny to sort it himself so he’s trying to find an admin to do it for him. The fanny.” to… Andy instead of Dr Mrs Epimer. Was about to hit send and got interrupted by someone, then came back to it and saw.

Christ.

I definitely thought there was going to be some kind of video call catastrophe which would’ve led to you cutting ties with your uncle forever.

Crying uncontrollably during the Will Ferrell Eurovision movie because the semi final bit with Sigur Ros over the top was too emotionally taxing for me

[kermitwormit]

hey, it could still happen!

[kermitwormit]

Pervo I love you so much

[Epimer]

He is an absolute fanny though tbf

best friend cutting me out? no tears. losing my job? no tears. pandemic? no tears. the apparent death of Iceland’s Eurovision dreams? nope, i’m fucking goneeee.

i would also say that a man hitting on me courtesy of me posting an amusing Reddit post about having a fetish for the Grinch is up there.

one of his messages said “I assume furry green dicks aren’t your thing then? regardless of size” and I was like nghhhhh ok the only way to defuse this is to be really fucking weird in response so I said “probably not, fortunately for the local caterpillar population” and then he replied with “somewhat insatiable, then?” FFFFFFFF

I’m quite good at repressing embarrassing memories, but I don’t think anything really bad happened. I’m a pretty timid person as it is and don’t really like to speak but I ranted on here a lot last year and felt very much after but it was fine, but more than once I wanted to kick myself for saying too much

[shes_so_high]

This is all amazing!

thankfully the opportunities for social embarrassment have been limited this year (yay pandemics!) but I still cringe when I think about this

Thuuuursday

I think I made a bit of a tit of myself in front of the company on teams yesterday. it’s very difficult trying to be funny when there is no feedback. (I fired a party popper live to 150 people - imagine firing a party popper and getting NO response) poll

Decided to fix the broken security light in my garden due to getting a dog.

Changed the bulb myself and it still wasn’t working so decided to call an electrician. My gf’s dad has a best mate whose a sparky so I used him.

He looked at the light and asked if I had tried turning the switch on, I told him i’ve lived here a year and there isn’t a switch. He then went into a bedroom upstairs and found a switch behind a wardrobe and turned the light on.

I apologised and offered to pay him for his time but he was very nice and refused.

I love how just this on it’s own is a nice, slightly embarrassing story but then…

this is the rudest thing I have ever read.

Liking The Prom a lot.

I’m a complete coward so after I sent the photo to the electrician I just blocked his number hoping to never here from him again. Being a family friend my gf wasn’t comfortable with my cowardice so text him an apology:

I begged my gf not to tell her family as I was so embarrassed but then this photo from her dad arrived in my inbox the day after:

Think this might have happened last Jan, maybe December 2018…

Had just got the kids out of the car in the Sainsbo’s car park, put the toddler in the trolley and turned round to see an older gent park in the family parking spaces, get out and march off towards the shop. There are constantly wankers parking there when they shouldn’t and it had been grinding my gears for weeks.

“SCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME MATE!!! YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK THERE. ITS FOR FAMILIES WITH KIDS ONLY.”

“The kid’s in the car smart arse”

“Where are you going then? Just going to leave them there while you’re in the shop?”

“Not that it’s any of your business but normally when I go to the shops I get a trolley first”

That was bad enough, then when I made a beeline for the shop my wife said I was a total tit and started laughing at me and timed how long it took for the red to leave my cheeks. And then every time we turned round an aisle, there was the guy, with a kid in his trolley and he made a point of making eye contact each time.

Tbh I’m pretty scundered for my big boss who said three times during the year that there was ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ only to be faced with more spikes in cases each time
