Oh the embarrasment.

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.

  4. That is the problem with the fame business. Even if you want it, it is not clear when it will grace you. :)

  5. I 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.

  6. Fame is so overrated.
    On 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!

  8. what's the old line about laugh and the world laughs with you. Try to laugh about it and put it behind you. Good luck.

  13. 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. :)

    1. Yes i think your right Serenity it needs embellishing it does sound kind of sad just being a house spider doesnt it? lol

  14. 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.
