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.

[pervo]

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

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

Had to abandon someone’s appraisal on Zoom because my cat, my dog and 3 lads who had shown up to move some furniture started having a row behind me.

[elthamsmateowen]

That’s my secret cap, my whole life is an embarrassment

[Im_On_Safari]

Picking my son up from school and being surprised by the greeting from one of the mums I vaguely knew and her going “Hiiiiiiiiiiii!” so I was like “Hiya!”
She was of course greeting her small child directly behind me.

[ttf]

hate this feeling, being punished for dutifully carrying out a social norm

[badcustard]

Flooded the downstairs flat twice in three days in the summer. The first time they were friendly about it, the second time, not so much.

when I went to a clinic to donate antibodies in April or May or something (I called about donating blood and it ended up with me booked in for antibody donation once they’d found out i’d had covid symptoms) and they couldn’t find a vein, so couldn’t donate.

stupid thing to feel embarrassed about but I had to do the walk of shame to the carpark right past loads of people hooked up to machines and that and was screaming out to say ‘SORRY LADS THEY COULDN’T FIND A VEIN HAHA, FUCK ME RIGHT ANYWAY GOOD ON YOU FOR COMING IN AND THAT’
