Will You EVER Live It Down?
I'm sure most of us have had that moment in time where we said or did something that we will NEVER live down. No matter how long ago, friends still laugh over it, or family won't miss an opportunity to remind us -- and we still cringe at the memory! Pick something to share...
I have so many, it's hard to select just one, but here's mine:
On our third date, I told Cynthia that I didn't feel we had enough in common to continue seeing one another -- that "the 'chemistry' just wasn't there" (mind you, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary in Feb.)!!
Yesterday, after I questioned the doctor about one of my blood levels, she told him: "Joanne always did have trouble interpreting chemistry..."
Ok, so my "never live down moments" unfortunately wouldn't be appropriate to share in a public forum but I'm always happy to share one that my sister (God love her) managed to brighten my day with.
She was in college and wanted to move to Charleston, SC for the summer with some friends. She borrowed a truck from my father's lot, packed everything up, and was on her merry way. About half way down, they start to get hungry but they're so excited about getting there they just want to get some fast food. You guessed it...the drive thru.
As soon as she places her order and comes around the corner to get her food, she realizes that the truck's too big. Instead of asking the car behind her to back up so she can get out, she decides "maybe if i just gun it, it'll be ok."
That Hardees was never the same.

Nobody ratted me out! Apparently she was right pissed and wanted to know who had done it. They all knew that I had done it, and I would not have done it sober, but now the running joke among my friends is to watch out for pickled beans in your purse.

PS, this happened in the 80's!
I didn't go home, but met with Microsoft and conducted an interview that afternoon...all with a sweatshirt around my waist. My only issue was that my gobbler was resting directly on the chair. Not something I would normally do and frankly it was chilly. LOL
