Embarrassment is when…
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Embarrassment is when returning from the apartment gym with your shared apartment gym keys jangling, which spooks the apartment dog into barking. So you rush to your room to put down your gym bag, and then when you return outside to return the keys you quietly muffle the keys to hang on the door, the exact moment when you place the lanyard on the door handle where the keys usually go, you can hear the sweet sound of love emanating from your roommates’ room.
Not knowing what to do– do you slink away quietly so they won’t know you were there, but how about if they already heard you?? or maybe if you slink away they think you are trying to be all creepy, or should you make a coughing noise so they are aware of your presence, but how about if they haven’t heard you at all and only heard the coughing noise then they will think you are being creepy.
… so then you simply panic and stumble your way out of the hallway in a half-stutter step with a brightly crimson hue to your cheeks making all the noise in the world hoping they didn’t hear your ill-planned retreat back into your room.
