One Saturday night, I went to the grocery store and I ran into no less than 7 people from church that I know, who all know each other, all at the same time. At the time I had only feminine care products in my basket. I was not embarrassed.
One Saturday night, driving home from the grocery store, there were some road flares and a cop in the middle of the street and I stopped because everyone in front of me was doing it. When I got there, the police-man was cayuute. I mean he was probably a 7/8 out of uniform, but in uniform he was a 9. And when he waived me forward, I stalled my car hard, and it was totally because he had distracted me with his polices charm. I started my car again and looked at him to realize that he was sort of half-laughing at me and I just about died.
I do not not not get embarrassed easily. I do stupid/awkward things all the time. It is just part of my personality. Which is why this moment sticks out in my head. I feel like I was the pinnacle of a young girl getting flustered over a pretty face and the cliche of it all just made me want to bury myself.
But, as embarrassed as I was, I am over it now. I have learned that most embarrassing moments are moments that other people think are funny for about two minutes, and then promptly forget.
