THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WALKS OF SHAME

When you think of a walk of shame, you most likely think of an awkward morning (or evening) when you leave someone's place after a good (or bad, it can be) sexual encounter and you're still wearing the outfit from the night before: obviously sex hair, heels... Long story short: this is the moment when you hope to really not run into anyone, especially not someone you know, because it's of course obvious where you just came from. But did you think this was the only walk of shame that exists? Nope, there are many more moments when you really want to sink into the ground and disappear forever.

The hangover walk of shame

Read: ordering that Big Mac with chicken nuggets and also a portion of fries. Oh yes, and also a milkshake and possibly a cola. You're probably walking around in your ragged clothes and it looks like you've only had about two hours of sleep (which is true). Not your most glamorous moment when you're walking around with your tray full of fast food.

The money walk of shame

Your entire grocery bag packed, because you had nothing left at home and it was time to stock up on groceries. You never have cash on you, because you always pay with your card and then comes that terrible moment when the card machine indicates that you have no balance. There's a long line behind you and everyone sees that you have nada in your account. Awkward. That whole grocery bag has to go back and you leave with an excuse and a red face.

The toilet paper walk of shame

What you realize way too late: you've just walked a few meters with a big strand hanging from your leg.

The cinema walk of shame

You're sitting somewhere in a crowded hall, in the middle of a row and you urgently need to go to the bathroom. You can't hold it in anymore. So: the whole row has to awkwardly move aside for you. Not once, but twice of course, because you also want to get back to your seat. Speaking of the cinema: do you all find these things always so miserable?

The shit-this-is-actually-way-too-expensive walk of shame

That you're at a deli for that nice piece of cheese or meat and then you find out that that damn thing costs way too much and you actually want to say: ‘Forget it’, but you still swipe your card and decide to eat nothing else for the rest of the week but bread with some water.
