We all have our own embarrassing moments to share. Some are funny enough and some we wished the ground can swallow us whole. Oh, I've got loads of epic red-faced moments but this one I'm about to share happens today.
My nose is blocked
I blamed the weather. After getting a bad cough and cold I still got a blocked nose at the moment. And even if I'm perfectly fine, I just love to sniff my Vicks inhaler. This little tube becomes my nose best friend. But be careful as I also read that nasal inhalers can be bad for us too.
I always have it in my bag, in the house and the car. My husband loves it too!
Today at Work
Just another day. The rain is pouring outside, I know because the roof is transparent so I can see it from the shop where I'm working. And seeing shoppers wet and hearing them say how bad it is outside.
I grab my inhaler that was on the counter after assisting customers. I have it wedged in my nostril. Felt good in an instant.
Nearly the end of my shift and my boss appeared in front of me with two lattes in his hand. Isn't he just very good to me? Oh both of them! They are very nice.
Oh, here they are. 😁 They are so cool!
End of my shift
End of my shift and I'm done with the settlements and everything to do with my sales. He gave me extra money today because I did well he said. I had a productive day as I sold doubled my goal. Happy me!
Before I left the counter I had another sniff of the inhaler in front of my boss and set it in the box. He smiled at me weirdly and I went to the back to grab my bag and coat. I put my phone in the bag and my eyes went huge when I saw the inhaler inside. I wish to disappear.
So that inhaler I'm using is not mine?!
I don't know how to go out and say goodbye to my boss. I'm so ashamed to use his inhaler in front of him. He also sniffs an inhaler so I'm sure it's his. I embarrassingly get out with my own inhaler in my hand.
He's laughing and looks like he knew my mistake. And I told him with my epic face,
"I'll get you a new one tomorrow!"
And I run in a hurry before he answered. 🤣
It's funny and gross at the same time. As I'm sticking someone else's inhaler in my nose lol. I don't mean it in a nasty way but you know what I mean. You will not stick to your nose what others already stick to theirs. 😂
Oh well. I got a new one for him. I don't know how to face him tomorrow but fortunately, it's my other boss who's on tomorrow. Phew! I'm mortified.
I should be mindful next time.
Thank you for reading.
I can imagine how embarrassing it was 😂😂😂
