That awkward moment when you are standing in a room full of people at work and the older co-worker you were aligned next to simply by chance begins to talk as your supervisors surprise visit is made to be your personal crisis when the elderly man decides to befriend you as a close compadre,even tho you have spoken 12 times in the past year and because of his hard hearing he simply yells as he always does when he talks normally not creating deathbeds for his co-workers, by saying,
"Wow, I wonder if he buys his sons those expensive shoes, he certainly hasn't given me enough money to get any,"
referring to the boss less than 10 feet away heading away. You immediately become judge and jury of the decibel allowance levels in the room in the probability of your boss hearing him and you are frozen in fear in the milliseconds it took to make such an accurate calculation. Sacrificial regret your so-called pal now creating a moment.
The supervisor immediately confirms your calculations by turning his head and looks right at you, not him because you are taller and you hide the perp still murmuring insults under his breath unaware of the bosses glance. You attempt to muster 'stupid' on your face, trying to off-set your rush of blood making you stand out as the guilty party, figuring stupid will defuse him. But as something prompts your mind to think, "Stupid is as stupid does," Your finely dressed money-giver of your family is now standing right in front of you having had to travel a full 10 feet while exercising Forrest Gump quotes, and He states boldly, "How are you today?"
of coarse what he meant was,"So you think I am a prude and cheap do you?!!", I of coarse act like anyone who is true in my loyalty to occasional friendships by saying "fine" and immediately introduce my co-worker friend, as if to say, "he did it," who gives a non-sholaunt reaction now in complete silence. Then the final stare directly in my eye, before the eyelids of the headmaster surrenders a pretentious squint of delight in his eyelid.... and he moves on talking to the other bigwigs with a sense of unabashed confidence. The only thing I could think was... "What just happened?" Awkward! Had I have known of this thread then I would have thought "well this will be a good one for that thread."
