Everyone must have those moments when they wish the ground would swallow them up on the spot, surely? I had one last night and im still mortified about it. Im terrified of spiders..yeah i know they cant hurt you (im in the uk no deadly ones) but i dont care..they are evil.
So im sitting in the dining room filling out some risk assessments for work in my dressing gown having not long got out the bath, when i notice movement out the corner of my eye..a large house spider working its way up the sleeve of my dressing gown....so i did what any normal person would do...pulled off the dressing gown all the while screaming like a banshee (what the hell is a banshee?..pass) and there stood in the doorway is my son with 2 of his mates ...and im naked.
So what to do? well i cant pick the dressing gown up obviously..its contaminated by a spider..so i run past them (still naked) up the stairs into bedroom to hide my mortification, my son is far from impressed which i can understand but i can hear his mates laughing..bastards!
Im meant to be taking them rugby tonight, oh god! im not sure i can face them all..especially as to my sons horror (and mine) one of the mates relayed the 'incident' on facebook, and well the amount of comments even from people i work with!..i know everyone is meant to have their '5 mins of fame' but i didnt anticipate this being mine....the idea of becoming a hermit is getting more appealing by the minute.
oh i'm so sorry!!! it sounds absolutely embarrassing... but it IS funny... i couldn't help but giggle a little. ;D
ReplyDeleteoh my god tori...that was horrendous, you poor thing, i would not like to be in your shoes tonight....but am sorry i did have to laugh.

I cannot imagine anything more embarrassing. I feel a little guilty laughing, but it is a funny story.
ReplyDeleteHug,
joey
That is the problem with the fame business. Even if you want it, it is not clear when it will grace you. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that happened Tori. Take them to rugby tonight, get it over with and this too shall pass. The faster you face it the faster everyone will get past it. I know easier said then done but not much you cn do about it now. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteFame is so overrated.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, it is fleeting, and someone is sure to take your place in the spotlight in the near future.
And yes, we do all have those moments!
OMG so sorry about your embarrassment - as a mother i can imagine your pain. Amazingly funny to read though!
ReplyDeletewhat's the old line about laugh and the world laughs with you. Try to laugh about it and put it behind you. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteFD
I'm sorry but that was too funny. I bet the spider was more afraid of you than you were of it...Naw...grins..
ReplyDeleteWilliam
Ok so im laughing a bit now, i did survive the rugby and it wasnt as bad as i thought. although my son is still ashamed of me..oh well!
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the story is...always wear nightwear under dressing gown lol

Oh my embarrassment indeed and yes we all have those embarrassing moments.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get on taking them to rugby?
Love,
Ronnie

DeleteIt was bearable, yes i had the few comments made, mostly by mothers but in a lighthearted way, i dont think its going to be something that is forgotten quickly!

I hate to point this out but this is one of those stories these guys will tell their grandchildren about one day. You may want to embellish the details a bit to help save face. Instead of a house spider, perhaps make it a tarantula or a mutant variety with massive fangs. :)
ReplyDeleteYes i think your right Serenity it needs embellishing it does sound kind of sad just being a house spider doesnt it? lol
Deletex
Yes, Serenity is right, it was a classic moment and will be remembered and recounted by many. Damn funny. We have BIG spiders here, about 3 inches across, hairy and very fast. You would be fascinated.
ReplyDeleteFascinated!!! i would be running away too fast to be fascinated lol
DeleteI dont think im going to live it down for a while.

Yikes- I say ignore and pretend it never happened.
ReplyDeletelol i would ignore if i could but all my mates keep reminding me!
