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

@fatphalange Never saw that vid . So fucking funny . Reminiscent of The Office . Or watching kids you don't know very well putting on a "show for your benefit.

Hate clapping at the theatre and people then stand up and you haven't or when the cast keeps returning with more bows and you are fed up clapping and all I can think of is Please put the lights on so I can leave . Even if I really liked it .

Same! It's such an inexplicable and weird quirk! I imagine people thinking, hark at her, thinking she's fancy with her car lights!!

When my DH is speaking on the phone (rare in this modern world). His voice gets so loud like it's like he forgets they can hear normal volume voices just as easily.

I have to leave the room until he's finished.

When they were about 8, every so often my nieces would announce that they were going to do a talent show.
That’s when i’d high tail it outta there!

I had to have a hard think because since perimenopause kicked in and I stopped giving the (very few) fucks I had left I am fine with almost all of these.

Then I remembered: fancy dress. Everyone else loves it but I am so embarrassed by it. Both for myself and everyone involved.

Oh another one, if you are following someone through a building and they keep holding doors open for you.

1st time, 'thanks' then 'cheers' then 'ta' 4th time sheer panic as I've run out of options and wouldn't dare repeat the same thing twice.

(And, if I'm the door holder, judging if the person is close enough to bother or not and risking mis-judging it with the door slam in their faces!)

TV series Obsession - Richard Armitage (the man who married the Vicar of Dibly) is obsessed with sons gf and they have an affair but there’s one scene where he’s wanking on their hotel bed with a cushion he’s smelling her scent in. It goes on and on and he’s grunting and 🫣

And, when your 80 year old Dad is in the same room 😳.

I can so relate to loads of these!

I hate walking across roads when cars have stopped to wave me across, the same with zebra crossings! I worry I’m going to trip and fall in front of them!

Whenever I go to stay at my friend's and I get up in the morning I try to move around quietly so she can't hear me but she always does (she's a v early riser). She always calls out "morning Connie, you OK?" Fir somd reason I just find even opening my bedroom door embarrassing!

Going to the hairdresser. So I don't anymore.

People who talk way too much or feel they have to chatter inanely on Teams as they can't bear the silence before a meeting begins.

Going to the hairdresser. The whole thing...the backwards gown, the splay fingers hair washing thing, looking like a lizard in the mirror....and the chat. Omg the chat. Being asked about your weekend/holiday/work and you end up politely providing boring details of your life to someone who you know doesn't give a toss. Awful.

Crossing roads at crossings. I know everyone in the stopped cars are looking at me and it feels really awkward and embarrassing. No real reason to feel embarrassed but I always have done.

This only really bothers me if it's a large 24 roll catering sized pack

Saying my full name when I'm introduced to someone or on a video call. I'm one of those people who forgets other people's names almost instantly too, so it's a festival of embarrassment all round.

I used to feel like this. Then I started going to the doctor a lot more and it stopped.

What type of catering requires 24 toilet roll 🤣😁

Me too! I hide on the stairs as its the only place without a window!

I don't mind them too much but meetings when not everyone knows each other are a bit weird. Holiday rep welcome meetings, for example.

Waiter sitting down on my table whilst I'm looking at the menu

Taking a takeaway from the delivery driver, particularly on windy, wet and cold nights. There he/she is earning a decent extra crust, out in all weathers...and there's me, spoiled and wasteful, cba to cook.

So glad to find someone else finds slipped wierd!

Love these, I can relate to so many - I am an awkward turtle with some things.

My main ones (that have been mentioned) are: browsing an independent shop and not buying, when someone holds a door open for you several times/or you’re just that bit further away and do that awkward jog (same applies when a car lets you cross the road).

One that always gets me is when I’m on a train and the nearest to the door. Hovering my hand over to press it as soon as the light appears so people don’t think I’m incompetent.

I find this so interesting. It's so interesting to know that this is someone's reality. Sorry if that embarrasses you 😂

Looking like a lizard...😂 This is the best description of getting a haircut and is exactly my experience! I have tried to cut my own hair to avoid it but then I look like Worzel Gummidge.
