awkward moments

[insertnamehere]

lets say something really awkward happens between you and a coworker outside of work. how do you minimize the awkward upon seeing them at work the next time you work together? i'll leave out the story cause nobody cares but holy shit am i embarrassed to go to work tomorrow. and for the record i didnt have sex with anyone.

there has to be some kind of like, standard way to deal with these kinds of things. people do dumb shit to embarrass themselves all the time, but they return to their school/jobs and are fine.

Grow up and deal with it.

Laugh it off. Have a sense of humor. Don't take yourself so seriously, etc. It's all part of the circle of life yadda yadda yadda.

its isnt really the type of thing that can just be laughed off, at least with the guy in question. does "pretend nothing ever happened" generally work? i think im gonna go for pretend nothing ever happened. hopefully he would like to do the same. if that's the case it should just be uncomfortable for a few days.

I can't offer advice unless I know the whole story, with juicy details included.

So make with the storytelling, STAT

i didnt do anything to embarrass myself, exactly. its just kind of an embarrassing situation

i was hanging out with a guy from work, smokin pot playin video games... i kinda accidentaly got too stoned to function, that will come in to play later. so everything was cool, then he came over and sat next to me and put his arm around me, which i was very much against. being incredibly socially awkard, i didnt really know how to handle this situation. the fact that i was waaay fucked up didnt help. i wanted to tell him to get off me but i didnt want to like make a huge scene, since ive gotta work with the guy and all, but he seemed to get that i wasnt liking by the fact that my body was complely rigid and i stopped talking,it and got his arm off of me. so then i thought phew, crisis averted. then a little later he started trying to tickle me, i told him to stop several times. maybe he thought i was joking? i was laughing a bit but im ticklish as hell and thats what happens when someone tickles you. finally i grabbed his fingers and bent them back as hard as i could and he stopped. i was really trying to not be like AH WHAT THE FUCKS WRONG WITH YOU IM FUCKING LEAVING. i wanted to, but i was way too stoned to drive. so i made up my mind that i was gonna sit there and focus aaaalllll of my attention to conan. that would make me not have to talk to him, would afford me more time to sit there, and would send the message that i wasnt interested. then he leaned over and put his arm around me again and like snuggled up against me. i felt like i was gonna have a panic attack and i coudlnt really breath. i sat there for awhile trying to not hyperventalate or something and in my head i was just like "shit shit shit shit shit shit shit" and finally i said "this is weird" and he asked me did i not want him to do that and i said no. so then he went and sat on the other couch and i went back to my conan. triumph was on. then he fell asleep. i was very much relieved. i sat there a bit longer, still worried about driving, but then i decided i wanted to get out of there cause it would be way weirder if he woke up and i was still just sitting there watching tv. i tried to wake him up to be like yo im leaving, but i coudlnt get him to wake up. i didnt try very hard. i poked him some and kicked him in the elbow, then i left.

the drive home was a difficult one. i coudlnt pay attention to more than one thing at the time and i was about to piss my pants. i felt too awkward to even ask him where the bathroom was while i was there, and i didnt want to go after he was asleep for fear of waking him up. i actually thought about stopping the car somewhere and having a piss outside, but i thought if i did that, some cops would see me and not only would i get in trouble for pissing outside, but i'd have to talk to the cops.

anyway, that happened night before last, and in an hour i have to be in to work and he's gonna be there and whoa thats gonna be weird.

Anybody know of any children/toddlers who have drowned? That shit is heavy. A little 20-month old boy snuck away from his parents and drowned in a lake here the other day.
