Forrest Gump immortalized it: Shit Happens.
Some of my Oh No Moments that still make me cringe...
- Spilling red wine on the white couch of a couple I was visiting for the first time. Ugh ugh ugh.
- Opening the door to a cafe and hitting a child on the face. The poor little guy fell on the ground, sobbing, while his parents gave me "You asshole" looks and a girl at the counter said to her friend, "Oh my god that's like my worst fear, hurting someone else's child." Yeah. Thanks.
- Leaving my building and hearing my doorman run after me to tell me my skirt was caught in my underwear in the back. I still can't look that doorman in the eye.
- Calling/texting/showing up at an ex-boyfriend's door after severe inebriation. Usually followed by extreme crying on the street and a week-long hang-over.
- Telling my cousin's daughter she doesn't have to wait for the "go light" to cross the street. Boy, I'm never gonna live that one down.
- Turning in a paper to a teacher in high school and accidentally leaving in a love poem I'd written for a boy between the pages. Teacher thought the poem was meant for him. Big uh-oh moment. Pretty much awkward for the duration of my high school career.
- Talking about how I absolutely can't stand so-and-so to a guy I didn't know had dated her. Apparently, they were still on good enough terms that he recounted our conversation to her. Boy, she does not like me now.
- Getting a tattoo on impulse. Ended up with a "ladybug" that looks like a cockroach. Forever.
There are more, but one can only take sharing a few of these at a time...
