I'm sure I'm not the only person who has foot in the mouth kind of episodes in their lives , but I definitely think if we take a ratio I sure will tip towards the top end. What is with me and awkward situations I don't know , but I must admit it does bring back a smile when I think of them in retrospect.
Just the other day I realized that maybe I was gaining some weight which was not desirable , so decided to hit the gym very religiously. After an hour and half of cardio and weights hubby and me walked down the stairs and I spotted someone vaguely familiar , I could put a name to the face but I was dead sure I knew the lady. After turning around 3 times to catch a glimpse and re collect her name I finally hear her call my name followed by a Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. She was an acquaintance from college whom I last interacted with 10 years ago. My mind was racing as to how a pretty girl and trust me she was one of the pretty ones in college , can look like an average regular girl next door . I wish these thoughts just ran in my mind and I was not pushed to talk further. But as the story goes. pushed I was , this friend continued talking and my mind was in another space all together. Finally when I got to speak , I blurtedddddddddd.. How did you get so FAT !!!!! my husband tells me I had the most dead pan look on my face , I did not know where to hide my face . Did I just say what I did , how could I , what got into me ... Was it really me. I wanted to tell Sorry but scared that I might remind her of the blunder I just committed...
With no face to show again and never wanting to meet the lovely girl she is due to my blunder i walked away feeling terrible , to make things worse when I told my husband I was so uncouth , he replied telling but off course you were.I was feeling bad enough and this made it worse. When I narrated the story back home my FIL ( one of the most non controversial , non biased , humble , genuine nice person ever ) pacified me telling its fine people do make mistakes and she might not have felt that bad. I'm sure she felt bad but my FIL made me feel better.
My husband said he will procure a device which triggers off when I meet someone after a long time , to first think and then talk :( , sigh I wish this episode did not really happen to me ...
