"A few days ago, Chris and I met our friend Denise for lunch. The three of us had a wonderful time catching up at our favorite neighborhood diner. Our afternoon was going absolutely swimmingly until we left the restaurant. We were walking along the sidewalk when I suddenly walked into a sign. A caution sign. A huge orange caution sign that everyone noticed but me! I was super embarrassed but the whole thing was so silly, I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t help but laugh. Chris, Denise and the dozens of random people walking down the street seemed to hold their collective breath as they waited for my reaction. Once they saw I was OK, they started chuckling too. I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t embarrassed to have such a klutzy moment in front of Chris or Denise, they&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen quite a few of these over the years. But I felt myself blushing when I realized complete strangers were witness to my stumble. When something embarrassing like that happens in front of people I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know, I have this urge to get the heck out of there ASAP. But with friends or family, I&amp;amp;#8217;m not nearly as self-conscious about it. In fact, I&amp;amp;#8217;d much rather go through something wildly mortifying around my own social circle than in front of total strangers. If a friend points out an unsightly stain on my shirt, no big deal. But if it&amp;amp;#8217;s some random (who is undoubtedly trying to be polite) I start blushing like crazy. Isn&amp;amp;#8217;t that weird?! Would you rather have an embarrassing moment in front of friends or total strangers? Do you have a lot of klutzy moments like I do? When you have an embarrassing moment, do you have an urge to flee or do you prefer to stay put for damage control? Eek! Cross your fingers you never have to deal with these embarrassing moments&amp;amp;#133; * Twenty percent of people send racy text to the wrong people! * Yikes!
