5 SITUATIONS THAT ARE SUPER EMBARRASSING BUT HILARIOUS IN RETROSPECT

Sometimes (very rarely, you know) I do such awkward things that I want to wither away in a corner. You probably know it well. Walking around for half a day with toilet paper stuck to your shoe, making a really dumb comment at the office, or spectacularly falling flat in front of about thirty others.

I licked my wounds for a while, but here they come, my embarrassing bloopers, which I can actually find quite funny now. Because laughing is good for a person, I just think.

1. The I-feel-really-stupid moment

Ending up in the snack bar with your drunk head at night, then dumping your tray over the trash can and watching your phone disappear into the shawarma. Only to then fish it out again, screaming and grabbing for garlic sauce. Yup, been there, done that.

4. The I-fall-through-the-crack moment

Apparently, a person lies at least once every day about small things that are too ridiculous for words. But believe me, pretending to know a lot about something when you really don’t is never a good idea. That’s how I once ended up in a conversation about the credit crisis and of course, the first one had to share her opinion extensively – that was the wine, I swear. When a real substantive question was finally asked of me, it got pretty embarrassing. “I, uh, just a moment on this question, is that okay?”, 5. The I-just-puked-and-now-feel-pretty-crappy moment“

Experiencing this during an evening with your dearest friends is not really a party either, but so be it, not a world problem. During a party where you want to impress your new flame/employer/colleagues, it’s totally disastrous. In such a case, definitely skip that extra champagne to loosen up. And otherwise
