Aite so this happened to me today. The setting is a crowded elevator. Talking about where you gotta walk out to let the people from the back to leave. I get tomy floor and I'm in the back and say "EXCUSE ME!" in a kinda rude New Yawker fashion cuz they stood there for a while. The people who have to getoff to let the people from the back to leave also get off the same floor. I'm like

 

[mh76]

talkin to someone.
and you both say something at the same time.
then you both say "oh, go ahead" at the same time.
then youboth say something at the same time again.

lmao.
happens all the time with teachers.

How bout when you walking and start thinking bout something funny and you start laughing and you make eye contact with a stranger and they think you laughingat them and give you the stank eye lol.


Oh and how bout when you finish eating something and you have a some sauce on your face or something in your teeth and you go back to work and don't noticeuntil later in the day and no one tells you and you like no wonder people lookin at my lips/teeth lol.

I remember when I forgot to zip up my zipper and was walking around with it down for most of the day and of course nobody will tell you, just let you look likea fool lol

Like when a girl tells you she's never had someone tell her the truth about herself before. A few weeks later and you end up doing what no one else hasdone... and she stops calling you.

One day I was in the library bathroom by myself looking at the mirror, then i did the black guy crotch grab (u know the one that makes u look harder), as soonas i did it, this white guy comes flying through the doors and his eyes zoom straight to where my hand is. #!+@ was mad embarassing but i just walked out thebathroom like nothing happened. I could only imagine what dude was thinking.

 

[acidicality]

Have a few more today...

-When someone next to you in lecture asks you a question...or seems to ask you one, but you're not sure if they're talking to you or a friend...todaysomeone asked me something about what was on the board...i said something back, but i still wasn't sure if they were talking to me

.
-Also...when you kinda eavesdrop on a conversation in class and you just REALLY, REALLY want to chime in but you just can't do it cuz it'd be way tooawkward.

 

[lazy b]

-This girl who has liked me for the longest (since last year) had the biggest smile on her face when she walking towards me yesterday but I didn't do adamn thing. She is BAD and I am seriously going to regret it if I miss a great opportunity.
-I almost fell down the stairs in front of my dorm. Luckily for me there was no one there but this one girl who was smoking a cigarette. She

when I lookedup.

[emsterr]

most of my close friends; i'll spank/grab their butts just being funny.
well last year i saw one of my best friends standing outside the classroom building on the phone.
i walked by grabbed her butt and turned around only to be horrified that it was actually her little sister...whom i had NEVER IN MY LIFE TALKED TO!
i can't even describe the face she gave me (kinda like a mixture of wth u think ur doing, u pedophile, I DON'T KNOW YOU LIKE THAT)...i was soembarrassed.

my friend and i laugh about that to this day and me and her lil sis are cool now lol.

So I'm at the dining hall today and I have to piss real bad. The men's room is being renovated so it's out of order, I'm like "Damn, guessI'll have to hold it." I see a dude stroll out of the women's room and I chuckle and he goes "yea just use the women's room dude."I'm like ok fair enough, it's one of those single toilet bathrooms that could go either way, not like there's a bunch of stalls or anything so Ifigure I'm good. I walk in and get down to business, when I hear two female voices in the hallway. I then realize I didn't lock the door behind me sothey're about to walk in on me pissing

I instinctively turned around and reached to lock the door, only problem was I forgot to halt my stream in time so now I've peed on the floor a little bit

I thought about cleaning it up but it was only a couple drops. When I moved away from the toilet it flushed on its own (one of the auto flush sensors), sothey probably figured I was done. Now I had the pressure of finishing in a timely manner since I had just flushed the toilet. It took me a good 20 seconds tostart peeing again

I finally finished and washed my hands, then turned the light out and dipped out of there trying to avoid eye contact with these girls,who were obviously wondering wth I was doing in the women's bathroom.
