That awkward moment when....

I'm walking through the store and I see out of the corner my eye my old coworker, the one who is flaunting use of HCG drops all over facebook. I tried to give her links to info on how bad it can be for you but I was told I was crazy and the stuff from the homeopathic store is real and works for her blah blah blah.....I gave up!!

She hasn't seen me yet as I have seen her, we will cross paths anytime now as I have to get cereal and oatmeal from the isle. There is still time, time to avoid that awkward situation where she wants to make a point and prove how wrong I was and show her 5lb loss in 2 days since starting the new round.

Seconds have passed and anytime she will look my way, but alas I pull out my cell phone, put it right to my ear then pretend that I am in deep conversation with my husband about the grocery list!! We make eye contact I smile and nod then continue with my supposed conversation as I rush to get in and out of the store without an HCG showdown. I grab the cereal and oatmeal and make a bee line to go the opposite way.

I am so grateful for this device called the cellular phone, so grateful I was able to avoid, also grateful that someone didn't try to call or text me during those 2 mins. If that had happened :noway: I’d have felt like an *kitten*!!

I can't be the only one who uses the phone to escape unwanted run-ins or conversations :)

    as a newly minted lawyer you walk into a pre-trial conference where "Freddie Mac" is listed as the opposing party and you ask... "Will Mr. Mac be joining us today?".

    That is great!!!!! I laughed out loud at my office. I was in real estate law for 13 years and I remember wondering who that guy was. Also who is Fannie Mae?

    ahahahahaha that is definitely a hell worthy offence



    Ok when you say goodbye to someone, and then you walk down the street and bump into them again on your way home. Even if you know them, so awkward, all conversation has been wrapped up, then do you say bye again when you actually part. I pretend to be on my phone then sometimes haha

    Having a spine has nothing to do with being too nice to be an out and out jerk. Not talking to someone that wants to talk to you isn't the nicest thing to do. The nicest thing is to pretend you don't see them or pretend you are busy. "It's not called being two-faced, it's called being an adult" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    That's the nicest thing to do to them? Wow with friends like you, who needs enemies.

    That's when you look around like someone else is guilty. Not that it has ever happened to me. :tongue:

    :laugh: It is always sweet when you need to explain things to those that take things out of context on purpose... *if only there was an eye roll emoticon in my choices*
    I am a great friend. TO MY FRIENDS. But we are not talking about friends, we are talking about people that annoy the crap out of you. Ones that you don't want to be out and out rude to, but that you don't want to waste your time or breath on. Speaking of, I've got a call....gotta go! :wink:

    You try to sit up in bed in the morning, forgetting you've ruined your abs the day before and flopping back down like a dead carp.

    Anytime I have ever used my phone to avoid someone or a situation, I call my voice mail and talk to it, so at least I don't have to worry about someone calling and ruining it. :bigsmile:

    when you're working on the eliptical/treadmill watching a movie or tv show when a sex scence comes on...even if it doesn't show anything, i always feel sooo awkward like everyone is looking at me going, "what is she watching?!" maybe it's just me???

    When you have to give your employee a talk about their body odor due to customer complaints and suggest maybe a new brand of deodorant or wearing perfume. And then a few weeks later have to explain to same employee that coming out of the bathroom with a still dripping preggo test is not appropriate for work.

    When your father in law knocks on your bedroom door as you're getting dressed; before you have a chance to grab a top or anything to cover your chest, he opens the door to let you know that your grandmother is at the door...
