Hi how's it going?
When was the last time you embarrassed yourself?
For me it was this afternoon. I was walking home after uni, zoning out a little, listening to my ipod. At some point I noticed that my right shoelace had come undone. I'd been having problems with this shoelace for the last couple of weeks, but hadn't really been worried by it. For a minute I considered finding a seat and retying it, but apathy took over and I kept walking. I've never been concerned with shoelaces. People always pull me up for not tying them. Sometimes when I am drunk people will even tie them for me (one of the many benefits of looking like you are mentally deficient I guess).
I got to the CBD and got stuck walking behind a couple of girls. They were moving pretty slowly, I like to move quickly, even if it means missing out on perving on some quality ass. So I picked up the pace, moved into the gutter and overtook them.
As I was moving back on to the footpath, my left foot trad on my right shoelace. Shit. I was turning, I was moving faster than normal, and I was fucked. I didn't realise what was happening for a moment, then I hit the concrete really hard. My left knee and elbow took the brunt of the fall and I kinda rolled to the side and looked up. The girls were looking at me with a really concerned expression on their faces, and one of them said something. My Ipod was still cranking so I turned it off. I didn't know what to say so I kinda did this stupid sounding laugh, and asked the girl what she said. She said '...aah you're shoelace is undone, are you okay?'
And I said I was okay and that I would tie my shoelace in a second, then I did the stupid laugh again and took off. Because the girls were halfway pretty I pretended I wasn't hurt. I looked around to see if anyone else had seen me fall but I couldn't tell.
I wish I had been forward thinking enough to pretend I was doing a fucking commando roll or something, maybe I could have faked the girls out and they might have been impressed by my agility. Instead they were just concerned and disgusted as I fell facefirst into the ground like a 80kg sack of shit.
And that was the last time I embarrassed myself in public
