Embarrassment

What's the most embarrassing thing that you've done recently? Walked out of bathroom with toilet paper stuck to the underside of your shoe, fell off your chair at work, sent a scathing email to a co-worker about the boss only to find that you accidentally sent it to the boss! That kind of stuff.

I went shopping for the groceries on Sunday (that's after cooking the brunch and prior to cooking the dinner). Yes, it was Mother's Day, but I usually do the grocery shopping anyway. Part of the divvying up of work about the house. Something I don't mind doing...anyway...I was walking out of the store with my cart laden with schtuff. The sun was shining, I was wearing my shades, the wind blew gently through my newly coiffed, steel grey hair (OK, I made up all that stuff). Anyway, the 10lb bag of potatoes had to go on the bottom rack. Somehow, between the check out and the van, the bag slipped between the rack and the front bar of the cart and dragged all the way through the parking lot. Poor potatoes with a bad case of gravel rash.

Would it have killed someone to tell me about it? Let the silly git unfortunate man know that the bag had slipped off the rack. Perhaps they were too embarrassed to shout, "Hey, mister. Pick up your bag. Your potatoes are dragging on the asphalt." On second thought...maybe I didn't need to hear that anyway.
