Embarrassing Moment: High Five!
The inspiration for this short article is when I read an embarrassing moment compilation on Facebook and a particular one reminds me of what happened last Thursday. In that embarrassing experience, the girl shared,
3 years ago a cute guy I worked with wanted to give me the fist bump but I thought he was pretending to hold an invisible microphone so I leaned forward said hello.
I haven't slept since.
I laugh so hard while reading, as such a similar incident happened to me last week. You know that I do my grocery shopping every Thursday after work. I finish my work every Thursday at 1:30 pm but Tia gets out from school at 2:00 pm and Jigz at 3:00 pm so I have to wait for my husband after 3 to pick me up.
After work, I just do the shopping by myself so that when my husband comes I'm finished and just have to go to Lidl's after. I prefer Lidl's for fresh vegetables, fish and meat. We don't get all our needs at one store.
Then what happened I finished my shopping early that Thursday. And it's slashing outside, you can feel the cold every time the doors open and I just can't wait till my husband comes. I always stand in front of the entrance/exit doors when there are no seats available. I'm just there standing patiently waiting for my man in shining armour.
For the first half-hour, the securities have been walking past me for times and kept greeting me. You know I'm working there for months now and I get along with most of the securities/personnel/other employees and they stop to talk to me at the shop or smile at me, a wave when I have customers. They are very nice to me. And that's just wonderful to feel that you belong.
Then Archie, the maintenance also works there at the shopping centre stops and talks to me about how's my day went blah blah blah when I saw a man drop his key while going out in a hurry. And he disappears before my very eyes. He walks so fast that he didn't feel his key fall.
I run and left my trolley and Archie, grabbed the key, went outside in the rain and look for the man who dropped the key. He's in his 60's. I just said,
Excuse me, you dropped your keys and gave him his key with a smile. I didn't wait for what he's going to say as it's raining, I went back inside the shop.
When I come back, Archie said,
"That's your good deeds for today!
Well done!" 😁
And off he goes.
Here's the funny part.
The man who drops the key comes back. And said to me,
"Thanks a lot. I would go daft if I didn't find my keys in my pocket. That's very nice of you."
And the man raised his hand.
And me, with all smile on my face, reached his hand and gave him a high five!
And I saw in his face that he didn't expect that high five and I just left him shocked, confused and speechless. 🤣
I even forgot that it's pandemic. I forgot about the virus. Who cares if he only meant to lift his hand as a thank you gesture? I didn't know what happened next but I'm sure he look for the nearest sanitiser stand. Hahaha.
I told my husband what happened and he can't stop laughing when I told him I gave him a high five because he raised his hand.
