Wellppp, That Was Embarrassing

Wellppp That Was Embarrassing: awkward situations I have been in over the years that I wish I hadn't 

1. "Say thank you." 

I was.. what, seven? I was staying at my grandma's house over the weekend, and on the Sunday I went to her church with her. They guy who was sitting next to us, complimented my outfit of a purple skirt and matching cardigan. 

I dunno what I said but it was either: 

a) "You're welcome" (I wore something that was pleasing to the eye, you must have enjoyed that) 

b) "I know" (that's why I wore it, I think it's pretty) 

c) "mmm" (go away) 

Then he goes and says, "When someone compliments you, you say thank you." [in really mean voice :( 'you should know that you ungrateful child'] 

Like I didn't know that, I know my manners thank you very much.  I was just distracted and didn't really want to talk to a creepy bald stranger. 

2. "We can see up your dress." 

I was on the Year 7 river cruise in the glass box that conveniently floats. I wore a nice red dress that I really liked because it flowed nicely and when I spun around it puffs out but it's only one layer so... 

There are these tiny little balcony thingies on the top and bottom level. I was leaning against the railings of the top level balcony, and well... I guess we saw this coming. 

"Hey you, you might wanna get out the way cause we can see up your dress, nice underwear by the way." 

Why thank you, I got them from Target, you invasive pieces of gum on the side of the road. You shouldn't even be looking up my dress! That's innapropriate and kinda weird because you are girls. 

3. "She's wearing her shorts backwards." 

I was in sport, playing netball. I was on the Wing Attack position, my personal favourite because you just gotta run around like an idiot to confuse the defender whilst catching the ball and setting up goals. Little did I know that I had put my sports shorts on backwards. The school logo was on the back of my thigh, not on the front. 

Good job, Gabbi, you can't even dress yourself. 

So a random boy announced while the girl were playing that they were indeed, backwards. Well you can imagine how embarrassed I was. I didn't even know it was me until I looked down, then behind me, and the horrid realisation swept over me. 

I never made that mistake again. 

4. Ball to the face

I was in sport, again. A lot of embarrassing things happen in sport. We were playing soccer, and playing against Remus' team. Somebody (I don't know who) kicked the ball, and I was meant to run out of the way, but I went the opposite way and SPLAT.  The ball (the hard soccer ball, the heavy one) hit me in the eye and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my glasses went for a nice flight throught the air and onto the ground. 

I coudln't find them, because I can't see well without them, all I was seeing was blurred figures asking me if I was alright and all these apologies. Remus saw me... how fricken embarrassing. Someone had to find my glasses because I could not and gave them to me. Luckily they didn't break, otherwise I would be doomed. 

5. I was a bit young

Back in Year 4, there was this guy I liked, who I am pretty sure liked me back. It wasn't even a proper crush, because I was 10 and he was 11. We actually wrote notes to each other in class and passed them back and forth. The teacher saw but never told us off, I bet she shipped us inwardly. 

He was lying on the floor once. I don't know but I was looking at him, and this other boy was thought I was looking inbetween his pants, and well. 

I wasn't, I was looking at his face. 

A Year 4 thinking like that would be deeply disturbed. 

6. Everytime I talk to James 

Especially online, I always rave on about random things that he probably doesn't care about. I bet I annoy him. James, I'm sorry. I know you don't care about this guy at my chruch who looks at  me all the time and is really creepy. I know you especially don't care about my old DSi games that I want to sell. 

*facepalm* 

I am an idiot. 

And when I talk to him in person I answe really bluntly because I get so anxious and want to choke up my lunch. His eyes are just so striking... 

7. Whenever I speak in class

I have a gap between my two front teeth (that will eventually be closed together with braces *shiver*) aka 'The London Look'. 

So sometimes I pronounce my 'th' with 'v' or 'f' and it's embarrassing, obviously. I also speak really fast and sometimes mumble heaps so people can't understand me. 

And sometimes my throat makes weird noises. In the middle of maths when we are all silent. Or slaiva is stuck at the back of my throat so I sound all grumbly. 

Sad life. 

8. EVEry dAY 

I always do something embarrassing. Fricken always. Like today in science... 

Me: WE [my row and I] don't have one [a work sheet] 

Teacher: you were supposed to come up and get one 

Me: *name of friend I sit next to in set seating plan* why didn't you get it? [she usually gets all our sheets for us, the kind lass] 

Friend: whoops sorry 

Teacher: you could've got it Gabbi 

NOT MY FAULT 

Hope you enjoyed reading these cringey moments of my life. 

Do you guys have a random question about me? 

Ask away, children, ask away. 

Until next time!

I'm hungry 

Hi Hungry! I'm Gabbi 

Nope, don't even go there! I'm leaving! 

I thought you said your name was Hungry! 

I'm appalled 

But-

No, don't even. Goodbye.
