- Would you agree or do you think some of these things are no big deal?
Some of these things could be a very embarrassing thing but most of them seem more like common occurrences than something truly embarrassing. For British people,
If they…
- Spill their coffee on a fresh white shirt, first thing in the morning. This isn’t the
best way to start a day but if it’s first thing in the day the chances are higher you’d be at home and you could change it really quick. And also wash it right away! - Accidently “like” a picture while stalking someone on Instagram
- Land in a strangers lap after losing balance while on the train (tube.) This could be a very embarrassing thing but it’s also pretty understandable. Public transportation
- Drop their keys into the toilet from their pocket. Is this something you have done?
- Leave a tag on a new piece of clothing. Is this something you’ve done before, whether an accident or you thought you pulled the whole sticker off and only part of it came off?
- Leave the salon with much shorter hair after specifying only being there for a trim
- Lean on someone’s shoulder after falling asleep on the train/bus/tube
- Say “I love you,” accidently, to finish off a work phone call
- Return a wave of someone they then saw wasn’t waving at them. This happens to people often but would you call it a very embarrassing thing?
- Buy “dream” shoes (heels) and then spending the entire time out while wearing them, regretting your purchase
- Forget headphones when they have a long journey ahead
- Cancel plans with someone and then bump into them, accidently, while out and about. This would be a very embarrassing thing and would make them feel bad, as it implies that not only did you cancel plans with someone but that you went out and did the activity alone after cancelling on someone and then still saw them there!
- If they trip over their alarm clock running for the bus after having slept through their alarm
- Spend the day worried about whether the hair straightener is still on
- Forget to charge their phone and it dies overnight, preventing them from from waking up on time
- Mistakenly spill food on themselves just before a job interview. This would be a setback especially if you weren’t at home, didn’t bring something to cover up with or this was your something to cover up with and you spilled on it.
- Make a train they were rushing for, just to realize it’s the wrong train. This wouldn’t be a very embarrassing thing but it would be a big bummer
- Drop their phone into the toilet, no matter how it happened
- Incorrectly judge the weather and wear something like a jumper on a day it’s hot out
- Open their purse and all the things fall out! This may be a very embarrassing thing but it depends on what you keep in there. That is, are you a Carrie Bradshaw, ribbed condoms kind of girl or more a Mary Poppins with the never ending stuff kind of girl?
- Accidently send a personal email to a coworker
- Are in heavy rain and their umbrella turns inside out. This isn’t a very embarrassing thing as much as it’s a “you’re gonna be very wet” thing.
