Minor embarrassments?
Morn all (anyone?!)
Last night while working in the pub I fumbled the credit card I was holding which belonged to a good-looking girl I was serving at the time. It fell to the floor. As I have no fingernails, I then spent the next two minutes grubbing about on the floor, trying desperately to pick the damn thing up and succeeding only in shooing it around various pools of liquid by my feet. Eventually, I got it up and then had to stand there cleaning it softly with tissue, before handing it sheepishly back.
My neck burned with shame; fortunately, she pissed herself laughing and said it was "the funniest thing she'd seen in a loooong time" and put me right at ease by helping me to chuckle about it.
Has anyone else managed to see the funny side of small personal humiliations recently, and if so would ya dare to share?
I haven't managed to humiliate myself in a while, which is a feat in itself. You should get yourself a palate knife or spatula and carry it with you at all times in case of emergencies such as this - I daresay it would have been worse had it been some burly drunk impatient for his next pint!

Hmmm. I did think I'd be attacked by a dude with a huge bowie knife or some such after telling him we had no ice for his Jack n coke. Imagine his (and my) relief when the icemaker finally started cranking it out!
Btw, how do you get your mugshot up on display here?

Well, I played tennis for the first time in about twenty years yesterday and discovered to my horror that I can now only play badminton shots. So, lots of extremely high lobs with insane amounts of spin on the ball. And not keeping it in court very much. My partner thought it was the funniest thing in a long while.

At least you got the balls in the court Crobster - every time I try that damn game i'm soon on the march looking for the bloody balls!
CCV did you get my mail about your avatar? Any joy?

I met this lass on a works do the other day. Rather liked her so asked her in for a hot one after getting a lift home. Minor embarrassment came as I opened the fridge to find the house milk had been snaffled. Being as how I can't even afford a bottle of milk atm, I offered her a cup of black tea.
