It takes a lot to embarrass me.
I am far too much a character to be humiliated by other people’s antics. I’d have to embarrass myself first in order for me to be affected by someone elses stupidity.
Well, I did it. I really made myself look so stupid… and if I were a white female, I surely would been so red or purple or maybe even blue that someone would have probably called an ambulance.
My hands were really dry the other morning so I turned to get some lotion from the bottle I keep on my desk. I pushed down on the pump and instead of lotion landing in my hand, it shot upwards onto my arm and shoulder.
I did my best to clean it up but we had customers arriving.
I took care of 3 customers who all looked at me a little weird. Nothing usual for me though. It wasn’t until a regular came in and laughed at me that I realized something was up. He suggested that I might want to look in a mirror.
So I did. And yeah… in my hair and on my cheek were remnants of the lotion. It looked like I was having a little too much fun before work and failed to clean up.
I could have died.

There are those certain moments in life which will be etched in our memories forever. Me thinks that’s a winner.
AHHHH!!! lol
Was it near the end of the day for you, or near the beginning? At least someone told you.
LOL - but thank you for sharing!
Lisa/starbursidereuss last blog post..Bell Mobility how I loathe thee…
Oh I see.. you were trying to recreate the scene from “There’s Something About Mary” weren’t you? LOL
sHaE-sHaEs last blog post..Old School Friday: Favorite Male Singer
@ Jacqueline - Yes. It is.
@ Lisa - Luckily it was discovered early on in the day. About an hour after we opened. Otherwise I think I would have to quit my job out of pure humiliation.
@ Shae - I think mine was worse because if you looked close enough you could see the trail of “lotion” stained on my shirt which led right into my hair… and face. I’m still dying.
Mwahaha!! That’s worse than having your fly open, for sure. You could rationalize that most of your customers aren’t that dirty minded, but everyone’s a secret porn junky now, so that wouldn’t work. LOL!
Oh, sorry. I don’t mean to make it worse. *snicker*
OH NO! Omg, that is definitely one for the books. Thank goodness for your regular customer!

Oh my gosh! At least someone did finally tell you! It would have been even worse if you had gone the entire day that way!
Lynnes last blog post..Comparison Shopping
I always knew there was… Something about Monique Renae.. LOL
That’s awesome! Just glad it wasn’t me.
lol! That’s funny. If I’m in your shoes, that experience will be my saving grace, every time I feel gloomy. It would surely put a smile in my face every time I will recall that moment
Haha, I also got a mental image of “There’s Something About Mary.” So how did this person tell you? “Hey, you know you have lotion all over you and you look ridiculous?” LOLThanks for stopping by my blog recently.
Carolyns last blog post..I cannot get the help I seek. This is insane.
LOL! That’s even worse… eww.
sHaE-sHaEs last blog post..50 Cent: Get Ready For The Bling
@ Jenny - Seriously. A few years ago, it could have been lotion or shaving creme, but I could tell by the way I had been looked at that the pervs thought it was much more.
@ Athena - I KNOW! Why wouldn’t the other baboons tell me?
@ Meleah - It’s ok. The next day at work, my husband stopped by, grabbed some lotion and dripped it down his face just to watch me look horrific all over again.
@ casto -
I know in a few days I will be laughing as well.
@ Monica - LOL! Thank you for that, cause now I don’t feel like the only person in the world who has been attacked by a lotion bottle.
@ Lynne - Tell me about it!
@ ThinkBox - NO! There isn’t! LOL. And welcome back to the blogging world
@ Manilenya - It is definitely one of those things you can look back on and say “At least THAT didn’t happen to me.” lol
@ Carolyn - He was nice about it while laughing at me. He pointed towards the area and said “Hey, I think you might want to go take a glance at yourself in the mirror.” And then laughed his happy ass out the door.
@ Shae - I KNOW! Ewww is right.
Hahahah LOL. omg, rofl. Thanks, I need a laugh after dealing with idiots all day.
