Do you ever get caught in a moment where you look and/or sound like a complete fool? I'm talking about those times where either you don't think anyone's around looking/listening or something happens so unexpectedly that it catches you completely off guard and you react in the most unflattering way imaginable.
The second of those two situations happened to me earlier today... I was sitting in my cubicle at work and I got some kind of tiny object (like dust) in both of my eyes at the exact same time. I can safely say that this has never happened to me before in my life and it caught me off-guard. My face definitely spazzed out for a good two seconds... Luckily no one was around to see it (this time) but I couldn't help think about what I must have looked like at that exact moment to someone if they had happened to walk by my cubicle at just the right time to see it... probably like an absolute ruhtard.
Then I started thinking about other situations of this ilk that I've found myself in...
Not that long ago I was at work and one Thomas Randall Lord decided to vid-chat me. I didn't want to make a lot of noise so I put in my headphones and as he spoke I just typed back. After a few minutes I took my head phones out of my ears and listened briefly... then I said aloud to Tom, "I don't think there's anyone around me." He didn't hear me so I repeated a little louder, "I don't think there's anyone around me." Literally immediately after I said that the phone rang in the cubicle directly next to mine and the guy who inhabits that cube picked it up. Like eeeeeeee. Lets recap... since I had my headphones in my computer there were no sounds of Tom being produced... so this guy heard absolutely nothing coming from my cube until I randomly say TWICE, "I don't think there's anyone around me." Good one Joel.
I remember during senior year of high school I was taking a math test and my mind wandered from the test to some song that I was probably listening to in the car earlier that day or something. Anyway, I remember I started mouthing the lyrics of the song as I sang it in my head... it only lasted a couple of seconds but I remember looking up from my test to see my Math teach staring directly at me with a look on her face that said, "What in the eff is this kid doing". Smoooooth.
I'm sure there are many other instances of me looking like a damn fool that I just can't remember right now. Hit me up with your awkward moment(s). I'd love to hear them.
