What's a silly thing you get embarrassed by?

[newmama2023]

For me. One thing is when my window wipers are going full pelt but the rain has nearly stopped. I dont know why. I just get embarrassed by it. It happened earlier and thought id see if other people have these silly moments too.

Another one i can think of, is going into a small independent shop and not buying anything

I was trying to think of something to add to this thread and I realised it's the same as yours. Also always worried that I'll ask for a blowjob instead of a blow dry 😂

Yes, the walk adjusting is a particular horror of mine, too!

This...

Even worse if you know the person ahead of you and are purposely trying not to keep up because you don't feel like having an awkward conversation. Invariably something happens that means they stop walking or slow down and it becomes physically impossible to not catch them up and you start to panic.

Canada?! I dream of only feeling the pressure to tip 10 percent. If I did that here, I'd feel like I was practically insulting the person!

Are you Ed Miliband?

Why?
It's what you're supposed to do!

Seeing people I know in the supermarket. Then you end up seeing them again in most aisles.

😂

When I have to take the takeaway I ordered off the delivery guy who delivered it - I’m embarrassed that they’ll think I’m eating unhealthily! So stupid!!!

When people burst into song. Or when you’re in church and someone suddenly starts to harmonise.

I get embarrassed by the Break A Leg people on Elaine Paige who do it in character.

I have absolutely loads, total introvert. My DH however is an extrovert and talks to everyone. One of my top embarrassing moments is going to fairs and markets with him, Christmas, farmers markets etc. He is fully invested in every stall, talks to the owner in depth about their items, samples everything, gets me involved and then just says thank you and ambles off leaving me stood there. It’s actually even worse when he says “what do you think???” And I have to come up with a nice but neutral review because I can’t say “No I absolutely hate it” with the poor stall holder stood there but if I show the slightest interest we have to buy half the stall! We’ve spent so much on bloody soft centre scotch eggs, chilli oils, air dried beef jerky, mouldy cheese… it’s so painful.

Yes!! Especially when it is a terrible American accent.

Oh so many of these. I am a real introvert.

Recently making my adult daughter come into little Tesco’s with me as we both wanted a meal deal and I didn’t want anyone thinking I was buying two for myself. Also forgetting a cucumber for the salad but being unable to buy just a cucumber so rebought all the other salad bits I already had at home

Asking for my prescription at the chemists. It’s such a long sentence!

I’m also like this when buying cucumbers. And I always try to mentally weigh up whether a whole one or a half one is more ‘oooh-err, missus!’

Oh God! I’ve got one of these “talkers” too! Love him to bits… but Jeez! He ropes me into the conversations as well, usually about stuff I’ve no interest in.
He’s from London, so he’s got the gift of the gab so once he’s started - that’s it! We also end up with a load of crap he’s bought from hid “new pals”😁

We’re northern, we talk to everyone by nature but DH is another level.
Even worse when you have to pay an entry fee so you have to pay to be embarrassed 😂

For me it is ordering at the butchers. I’m so scared I’ll say ounces instead of pounds or something and end up with a laughably tiny/huge amount of meat.

What makes it worse is that I’ve got an absolutely amazing butchers near me that prides itself on its personal service. They only have a small number of staff so if I ever screwed up they’d always remember it was me.

I stick to really safe orders like a number of sausages or number of chicken breasts because I can’t trust myself with weights.

Oh that did make me laugh, not at you but because it's exactly the type of thing I'd do. Every time I go to the shops for just one item I have to grab a basket as it just feels wrong strolling around the supermarket without a basket on my arm. I worry what people will think. Which is crazy because why would they think anything at all? I blame my anxious menopausal mind.

Gosh you've just reminded me of another one! I couldn't for the life of me remember the word ' highlights' at the hairdressers, it just completely escaped my mind. So I instead kept talking about the " headlights " I wanted, over and over again . What they thought of me I don't know. Didn't go back.

I remember when my prescriptions were first sent through to the pharmacy and I had to request them by phone, the first time I blundered my way through trying to make sense in a long winded way, the woman on the other end of the phone said, oh so you want to request your medication you get on repeat dispensing.
I wrote that down straight away before I forgot it and then memorised it.

I get really embarrassed when I wear clothes in the same shop that I've bought them from. I try my hardest to make sure I don't do this like today I didn't wear my coat out to the shops in case someone recognised it being the same one on the peg 😂

Anyone saying "make love" 😖 I've no idea why, but it has always made my cringe to the very core of my soul. I've never EVER been able to say those 2 words out loud. I'm embarrassed just typing it. Omg 🙈
