I took my son to the doctor and asked him to find a seat for us in the busy waiting room while I checked in. When I finished, I noticed that he had chosen a seat on a bench where five other people were already sitting. As I tried to squeeze onto the end of the bench, the man next to me asked if he should move over a bit. "No, thank you," I said, "I'll fit." At that moment, I slid off the end of the bench onto the floor!
During our annual spring getawqay with a group of friends, my husband and I decided to take a dip in the hotel pool. As I waded in, I noticed my husband swimming in the deep end. Deciding to surprise him, I swam up from behind and threw my arms around him. Suddenly, he whirled around and I found myself staring into the face of a complete stranger! Face burning with embarrassment, I quickly stammered an apology, only to see my husband standing at the edge of the pool laghing hysterically!
I was filling in for our switchboard operator on her afternoon break when I started reading an article on relationships in a copy of Woman's World. I was engrossed in the story when the phone rang. "Good afternoon," I said. "How may I love you?" After a very long pause on the other end, the caller and I both laughed. I mumbled a quick apology and connected him as fast as I could.
I was leaving the mall when I felt something in my eye. Since I was walking past a car with tinted windows in the parking lot, I stopped and used it as a mirror. Just as I located the piece of dust in my eye the car window rolled down and I heard a voice say, "Can I help you with that?" The driver had been sitting in the car the whole time! We both had a good laugh as my face turned red.
I was meeting friends for dinner one night when I decided it was time for a new look. Stopping at the mall on my way home from work, I picked up a faux ponytail that I thought was just the change I needed. Pleased with my new 'do, I headed to the restaurant, greeted my friends and followed the hostess to our table. We were halfway there when one of the girls gasped, "I think you dropped something! I swung around and found my hair extension lying on the floor. Mortified, I snatched it up and ran to the ladies' room to reattach it.
Seeing a nice pair of boots on sale at the mall, I sat down to try them on. As I wriggled one over my calf, it felt much too snug, so I tried to take it off but it wouldn't budge! I tugged and twisted for five minutes and finally, I sheepishly hobbled over to the sales counter and asked for help. The saleslady grabbed the boot and began to tug with all her might, and then the store manager took a turn. As a crowd of customers surroundedx us to watch, the boot finally popped off with such force that it flew across the store. The whole crowd burst into applause. Horrified, I grabbed my other shoe and ran out of the store as fast as I could.
Driving around on a sunny afternoon, I came across several yard sales and stopped to see what they had. Not finding anything I liked, I hopped back in the car and soon spotted another sale with lots of items in mint condition. As I browsed through the various items I heard a voice call, "What are you doing?" I held up a lamp and asked "How much for this?" Bursting out laughing the man cried, "I'm moving, these aren't for sale!" I mumbled an apology and sped away with nothing.
I've always wanted long, beautiful nails but had a problem growing them. I decided to try press-on nails. Pleased with the outcome, I went to meet my friends for lunch, eager to show off my beautiful manicure. I ducked into the restroom, tidied up my hair and walked over to the table where my friends looked up at me and began to laugh. I raced back to the restroom and looked in the mirror, and there stick thoughout my hair, were my beautiful press-on nails! I picked them out and returned to the table.
Leaving the mall after a long day of shopping, I found my car and stuck the key in the lo9ck but the lock wouldn't budge. As I giggled it, a man came up behind me and stared. Irritated and frustrated, I turned around and snapped, "What are you looking at?" The man replied, "I'm watching you trying to break into my car." That's when I noticed my car, identical to his, a few feet away. I stammered an apology and left as fast as I could.
I was in the produce section of my grocery store by the cucumbers. They were staqcked really high and I was trying to pick out a good one. Suddenly, as I grabbed for a cucumber, they all started to roll onto the floor. I threw my body against them, hoping to stop the avalanche, but it was too late. I found myself standing in a sea of cucumbers.
One morning, my mom and I stopped for breakfast in town. I parked the car right next to the entrance and went in to get coffee and bagels. Balancing them in my arms, I teetered back out to the car, opened the door and handed coffee to my mom in the passenger seat. Suddenly, a strange voice laughed. "Thanks, but I didn't order this!" I looked up to see a very surprised woman where my mom should have been and my mom laughing hysterically in the next car over!
I was out to dinner with a friend when I decided to stop in the ladies' room before heading home. When I met my friend at the entrance afterward, she pointed to my feet. I looked down and noticed a trail of toilet paper that started at my show and wove its way all the way back to the restroom. By this time, everyone in the restaurant was noticing it as well. I quickly stepped free and rushed out of the restraunt.
After moving into a new apartment building, I took the elevator down to the basement to do laundry. Later, with my basket of clean clothes, I rode back up and stuck my key into the lock only to find that it would not open. Frustrated, I jiggled the lock for several minutes. When it still wouldn't open, I let out an angry sigh. Suddenly the door flew open and a man exclaimed, "Can I help you?" that's when I noticed the apartment number. Instead of 802, it read 602! I'd gotten off on the wrong floor! I apologized and quickly made my way to my own apartment.
My husband and I were invited to the wedding of my co-worker's daughter, a girl we'd never met. Running late, we ducked into the back of the chapel at the reception hall just in time to hear, "You may kiss the bride." Afterward, we followed the crowd into the reception hall for the coctail hour. We put our gift on the figt table and took a seat. As we looked around, we gradually realized that no one looked familiar. We were at the wrong wedding! We grabbed our gift back and quickly left.
After one of my daughter's sleepovers, she and her friends wanted to watch a video. I was putting a tape in the VCR when the doorbell rang. I went to open it and felt a small tug. Somehow, I had inserted my bathrobe belt into the VCR along with the tape. Now it jerked me back . Just as I fell to the floor, my daughtyer opened the door to some of the girls' parents who stared at me in surprise. I stammered an explanation, tugged my belt free and excused myself with my cheeks blazing.
A co-worker and I were setting up a display for a meeting when our boss walked in and put his coffee cup down on the table where we were working. As I listened intently to his instructions, I reached for the tape to hand a poster and instead put my hand into his coffee cup! I took my hand out, shook it off andexcused myelf.
