 Bad things happen when you're bored. Back when Dishon and were dating (over 20 years ago. Wow!), I was hanging around his dorm before a formal dance that evening, and I didn't have anything to do. Dishon was about to go to the bathroom, and I thought it would be funny to hide in the shower and then jump out and scare him when he walked in.
Bad things happen when you're bored. Back when Dishon and were dating (over 20 years ago. Wow!), I was hanging around his dorm before a formal dance that evening, and I didn't have anything to do. Dishon was about to go to the bathroom, and I thought it would be funny to hide in the shower and then jump out and scare him when he walked in. I was standing in the shower (fully clothed - this is not that kind of story ;), and I heard the bathroom door open and close . . . the problem being that I still heard Dishon's voice outside of the bathroom. That meant that one of his four roommates was in the bathroom with me. I am a deer in the headlights kind of person, so I stood there, mortified, because, 1) There was a guy who was not my boyfriend sitting on the toilet while I stood in the shower, and 2) It appeared that once he was done, he was planning on using the shower, and although I didn't want that to happen - not at all - I was trying to figure out how to tell the roommate that I was in there (we'll call him Dan Kay to protect the names of the somewhat innocent . . . and I say somewhat because this was the same roommate who told me that my feet looked like I should have a sixth toe [they do, but he didn't have to say that], and chased Dishon around the dorm while wearing a football helmet and throwing exploding snaps at Dishon's feet).
Thankfully, I didn't have to say anything. "Dan" saw my looming, ominous shadow on the bathroom wall, freaked out, and left the bathroom before he had a chance to use it. He found Dishon and was like, "Um . . . is your girlfriend in the shower?" Dishon, knowing how mischievous I could be when bored responded, "Probably." Dishon came into the bathroom, pulled back the curtain to find me looking rather terrified and sheepish, and said, "You feel foolish, don't you?" I may have rushed out of the bathroom crying embarrassed, shameful tears, but I will neither confirm nor deny that ;).
Embarrassing things happen to us all, so I want to be sure to incorporate embarrassing moments for the characters in the novel. What is something embarrassing that happened to you that you don't mind sharing?
