You know those moments that are just sooooo beyond awkward and yet you can't leave to get out of it? oooh boy do i have those all the time at work. so i'll give a little background i live in a college town that is 10 mins away from yet another college town...yeah try not to be jealous of all the amazingly respectful students i get to encounter daily HA. anywho having said that it means that there are many people that come to go to school that don't have the best English which is totally fine....but awkward moments seem to occur more with that circumstance.

        Example 1: I was on register duty that day and woot do i love those days---sometimes anyway. and you are required to talk i mean hello how weird is it when the register lady---man--- says NOTHING to you but just an occasional look at you and you do nothing but smile because ummm its not your job to start the convo. anyways so it was an evening and a nice looking man was next in line and i smiled my bright friendly smile because i mean we are taking their money we have to look at least nice right? so i start out by saying "hows your evening going?" and what i receive is a blank stare and then a disgusted look and he says "yes im from India."  which in turn gives me a confused look...and let me tell you confused looks on me aren't pretty. I hurry and replayed what i had said or what i thought i said because clearly we were BOTH confused and that doesn't help anything in life....so i smile again after replying my question twice just to make sure i knew that i had truly said is what i thought i had and i reply with "no sir i meant hows your night going? like day but later?" and right as i said the last thing i knew that was too much but thank goodness the receipt was just popping out and i hurry and stuffed that bad boy in the bag so he wouldn't get offended anymore. and after that i vowed i would never ask anyone but who i knew were Americans how their night was. Lesson learned check!




Example 2: I was on fitting room duty when two young women walked in an requested a fitting room i smiled and gladly found them a room right next to each other so you know they can reminisce and show off their wonderful finds to each other. these two ladies were trying on softie shorts and tank tops...totally not scandalous if hmmm you get your right size and all you know basic knowledge. sooo when ever i put someone in a room i say a little spill such as this lovely one "can i get your name? ok my name is blah if you need any different sizes of colors feel free to ask (insert smile)."  works like a charm and has a way of rolling off my tongue even if the said person has the exact item in every size ha. anyways back to work out women....they both step out of the rooms and literally i am SHOCKED like ok rarely do i watch people when they are showing off their finds because umm thats just slightly weird but this was not unnoticeable. lets just say there was more skin then clothes the shorts looked just about 5 times to small and the tank tops were now sports bras......well me being a nice person i immediately piped up "oh my i can get different sizes for you guys." which would have been totally find IF right as i was saying it they didn't say "I love these!" we both finished at the same time with very different reactions---me i turned bright red and tried to slightly smile---them they were FURIOUS and totally offended while one replied "No we don't need a new size THANK YOU!" awww horrible horrible timing. I have now since then waited patiently for them to come to me for a size request ahah. Lesson learned! Check
