Embarrassing moments

Embarrassing things happen in every one 's life i believe. Always, you can never think of them on the spot for some reason but when they happen you r like 'this should be my most embarrassing moment.'

Farting in public, peeing in pants while laughing, walking out of the loo with toilet paper stuck to the shoes, stepping in a huge pile of shit, stumbling in front of your crush, calling a stranger whom you thought was your friend, complaining about a tutor to someone whom u later find out is the tutor's daughter, slamming into a glass door, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, tripping while walking in high heels, falling off a moving chair, getting on a stranger's car, stomach rumbling in a meeting, skirt flying on a windy day, loose shoe coming off when marching, wearing the same dress as another girl at a party....bla bla..the list nv seems to end.

I have been thru most of the embarrassing situations mentioned above and after today i shall add one onto the list *blush*

It happened in a cafe called Roastar.
There was only one barista, an asian guy, on duty there today. A new face. (I have been to Roastar frequent enuf to recognise all the workers there)

Then came my turn to order. The barista looked at me and asked, '' Are you a dentist??''

For a second, i thought it was written on my face 'i am a dentist"

"err Yes, i am. Do i know you?'' i wondered

'' i've seen you in Malaysian Society. You r a Malaysian, right?'' he went on
"yea..... '' thinking of wat to say

''So, the dentists are still attending uni?" he asked

"yea..sorry,you are.....''I was clueless who he was

"Shaun'' he smiled

"i c, u r QM student..." Duh!

I thought if i pretended to remember him, the situation might be less embarrassing for us and the conversation would just come to a full stop.

I was wrong!

He kept talking while i tried to act friendly and at the same time thought of how to end the conversation. I jz wanted to get out of that place. Talking to someone i dun remember and pretending to know him r simply bizarre.

There came the most embarrassing moment when i thought i cud finally break in an ending line, '' enjoy your long summer break coz you wont get so many holidays in second year.''

"I'm doing my final year law next year.''

Both f us kept silent all of a sudden.
My face turned red. Feeling like a dumb duck, i fled the cafe with my coffee.
Just at that moment, i loathed coffee!
It was the culprit of the whole story.
But, come to think of it, i should blame myself for being such a poseur all along.

What's the big deal about telling a person that you can't remember him/her???
