So, I get up this morning at 630, shake my girlfriend awake, get into the shower, make some tea, yanno average stuff. My dad was planning on taking me to school this morning (Yes I realize I'm 20, but my dad still likes to take me to the first day of school regardless of how embarassing it is. If I let him, he would have driven me to my first day when I lived 4 hours away in VT).. 730 rolls around and my dad is not here, I call his work I call his cell, nothing. 745, nothing. So I get on my bike and head out fast, already knowing I'm going to be late. AND what happens? The chain breaks. So i drop my purse (everything dumps out), fix the chain, put everything back in my purse and head off again. I get the my first class (last person there, out of breath, everyone staring at me kind of moment) and sit down next to this pleasantly plump gay kid (I think he's gay). And he says "Honey, what's all over your face?". Fucking bike grease, allll over my face, my hands, my sweater, my purse. I tried to look so nice and professional with my collared shirt, cable-knit sweater, but nope, they don't look professional when they are covered in grease. So, even though I was already late, I excused myself to the bathroom to tidy up. I look at my cellphone and see 3 missed calls from my dad from like 7:46 saying "I'm outside your apartment, where are you? Hope your not sleeping!!!" Now if that's not an awesome first impression, I don't know what is. But it's so true that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Anyone else have an embarassing story to make me feel better about myself, haha!
Good story, sorry haha but it was pretty funny.. and dont worry Im sure everyone will forget by tomorrow.
Ah man, bike grease Classic. I don't have an embarrassing story to share off the top of my head, but just know that even though it seems like you look like a loser in such situations, everyone has had something similar happen at some point in the past, and any decent person will understand that you just had an accident, and that you probably aren't a freak who likes to rub bike grease all over her face Cheers and good luck with the rest of your semester
Hee hee here is one for ya! Years ago when I first started work at a new company I was pumped, nice desk and an office (no cube) So the next day I brought in a coffee pot and made a nice fresh cup (big cup too) well the phone rings at a whomper volume suprised the shit out of me and after picking the damn thing up knocked the whole cup of coffee in my lap. Mother@#$$!! I thought I was losing my mind. Whole front looked like I pissed myself. So I took em off and had a fan blowing on them (the pants not the balls) to dry. Well sure as shit the boss walks in asks the usual nonsense and saunters off while I am hiding jr and the gang under the desk. One of my not so brillant moments.
Wow that sucks a lot. I hate walking into places late and having everyone stare at me; it's one of the most awkward feelings ever, to me at least. It actually happened to me today. I was late because I was in entirely the wrong building for the class.... my college named both the library AND the engineering center the same damn thing, and this particular class meets in both on different days.
oh stella, thats quite the story... quite the story indeed. oh my. i have nothing embarrassing to make you feel better, but i had a good 5 minute conversation with my Tea this afternoon at work.
on the bright side the first impression is the biggest impression, forming everyone's preconceived notions that will take years to change...
^^ Thanks! Haha. Atleast it was memorable, even if the teacher doesn't remember my name, she'll remember my madddd grease stains.
hhaahahah, if it hadn't been for the grease stains that story wouldn't have been to embarrasing at all IMO. I once walked into the middle of my italian class carrying a massive bowl of spagetti with sauce on it and no one had the slightest clue why. The teacher had actually sent afew people down at the beginning to make some pasta and bring it back. SO I walk in and just put this huge thing of pasta on my desk apparantly looking like im just nuts:& Not actually very embarrasing, but just being able to laugh when your in something like that makes it so much better Although the grease part is no good
i have a little story. [all of you should know my little stories are actually big stories in disguise] so this one time, i forgot to put my gas cap on my gas thing and drove away, therefore losing the gas cap. luckily i had one in my glove compartment. pro: a new cap. con: it's locking. so i have this locking gas cap and all is going well for a week or so. sunday arrives and i have to get up to go to work. i sleep through BOTH of my alarms. they call me about 5 times before i wake up. i was like yah ill be there in a half hour, so i get ready and all is going well. i leave the house and get to the bottom of our hill. its actually a pretty big hill, so it's not ours but my house is on it, so it's alright. the bottom of this hill is about 5 minutes away from my house. i get to the intersection and i realize that i need gas. i pull into hucks to get gas. guess who doesnt have their key to the gas cap? i don't! guess who doesn't have enough gas to make it to work OR back up the hill. me! guess who's parents are out of state? mine! so i call about everyone i know, and finally, an hour later, erika shows up at hucks. i have her take me to my house to get the key and finally make it to work approx. 2 hours late.
My aunt once drove away while the gas pumper was still attached to the main thing. Completely ripped off the tube. The gas guy had to go chase her down
hahaha^ one time i went to go get some groceries and walked out without my food after paying... the cashier had to chase after me. needless to say i got strange looks haha
