Embarrassing Moments

1. I was talking to my male colleague and he wasn’t looking in to my eyes. A thing I hate because it shows lack of concentration and respect. He takes a glimpse and then moves his eyes away. How rude! I looked at myself in my tiny mirror hidden between my stack of papers only to find a piece of “simsim” stuck in my lipstick at the edge of my lower lip. Since that day, I’ve been checking my looks on a bigger mirror positioned next to my pc screen.


2. I was shopping. I tried a blouse in a shop then moved to another. Only to be greeted with the Lebanese cute salesperson saying “moo minshani, bas minshan el 3alaam, ezrarik maftoo7”. For the first time in my life I felt “el arth eb tibla3ni”. Thank God he was polite.


3. A similar situation happened when shopping but this time it was a lady. She pointed at my skirt and told me that my side zipper was open. Thank God there was a button on top of the zipper.


4. I was resting in my office when a hateful colleague came asking for a document. I leaned to the side to get it for her, only to find myself on the ground. The chair couldn’t hold my side weight. What made the situation worse is that she stood frozen there without a single word or a hand. So I hated her more. My waist hurts whenever I remember this. But I guess I deserve what happened cause till this day “I promised myself not to mention this story but here I am doing it” I remember going to the head master of the school with my sister and aunt. He greeted us and fell on the floor thinking there was a chair behind him. I kept laughing and telling this story to whomever I met. So, now I believe that what goes around, comes around.


This is what came to my mind right now. But there are embarrassing situations that happened to friends like:

1. She was talking in a meeting in a room full of people and her friend was pointing at her mouth all the time she was talking. She had no idea what her friend meant. Only to know after the meeting that she had “taboola” stuck in her front teeth.

Never eat taboola without brushing your teeth afterwards!


2. She was walking in open air when it was windy. Hijab had fallen, head is covered with am6a only. I’ve seen that and it looks ugly. So, never wear am6a and hijab without the use of a pin or a sticker.



Note: I would like to thank Microsoft Office for inventing word spell check. Thank you! Thank you, Thank you!

Heheh Flamingo.. go easy on the poor guy. Maybe he's just humble and too shy to look into a pretty woman's eyes;-)

I am willing to bet that is the reason, rather than him being rude.

Flamingoliya said...

if he were another guy then maybe. but this is my colleague and i know he's definitely not humble or shy. He was afraid of bursting in laughter :)

That was simply hilarious my dear, so funny. I could just imagine the guy averting his gaze from your gorgeous sim-sim lips ;)
All your situations are simply funny. Except the tabbouleh one is so annoying because it happens so many times and is so gross!

How did MS Office spell check am6a ?? LOL :)

Flamingoliya said...

Jewaira,
gorgeous sim-sim lips? Hehehe I liked that… better eat taboolah at home only (:


Thank you mydream :) I don't know why it's called am6a I guess it's just a name. I think ga7fiyya is a better word but I had to change to am6a for people to understand.


The Don,

Don: put on, throw on, pull on
take off (antonym)

Brachypelma,
Ear bud? HAHAHAHAHA. You really made me laugh there. This is sooooo embarrassing. Thank you for sharing and I would love to hear your other more embarrassing stories :D
As for the spell checker, maybe you were using Thesaurus :P

7asafa :(

:P

Flamingoliya said...

W.,
HAHAHAHA :D I can relate to that. Usually ladies walk gently in these situations, I do the opposite; I walk like a marine.

Flamingoliya said...

Brachy,
ضربت على الوتر الحساس

Pleeeeeeeeeease don’t remind me about driving. I feel so ashamed. I either become geeziyya and drive fast or bump in to something.
Blame it on my adrenaline production. And if I were in the parking lot, I might stay several minutes searching for my car. Adrenaline makes me forget where I parked.

Flamingoliya said...

Brachy,
hehe oh well... it is true, but only on someone i had a crush on.

Flamingoliya said...

hehehe
don't be sad Brachy, notice that i just said "a crush" which doesn't have to mean handsome or ugly. o ba3dain you wouldn't know. maybe it happened while you weren't aware of it. i don't think those who saw me, or W. knew what caused the "embarassing moment".

Flamingoliya said...

LOL .. see? i told you, tripping happens :p
