Embarrassing moment #814,791
Jun 6th, 2007 by Accidental Thinker
4:31 p.m.: Anonymous subject parks in front of the pediatric dentist’s office, only one minute late for her daughter’s appointment to have two cavities filled. Subject considers this good timing, considering she has already turned around once to retrieve the cell phone left at home. The cell phone is a crucial piece of equipment for this outing as there is an extra kid in tow, and waiting time in the dentist’s office is to be efficiently used to plan a rendezvous with said extra kid’s mother to transport two of the youth to her house for overnight custody immediately following the fillings.
All these carefully planned details become immediately irrelevant at precisely 4:31 p.m. and 30 seconds when, in the tardy hustle and bustle of herding three kids out of the car while checking the weather to determine the need for an umbrella and simultaneously collecting reading material and a can of Diet Coke to settle in for an interminable stay in the dentist’s waiting room, anonymous subject drops the (open) can of Diet Coke directly in her lap.
Anonymous subject’s instantaneous reflexes prove no match for the fizzing Diet Coke, which soaks her shorts in exactly the spots one would expect had the accident been of a rather more humiliating “call of nature” nature.
Being already late for the dentist’s appointment, anonymous subject has no choice but to enter and pray no one will notice. Because surely the more she protests her innocence, the less likely people will believe the slightly yellowish wet spots in all the wrong places are really only Diet Coke.
I’m tellin’ you, those cola products are gonna be the ruination of this country. Shoot, not gonna be…they is!
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Aw, poor thing. That truly is awful. That kind of thing is always happening when your in a hurry.
It could’ve been worse. It could’ve been Mountain Dew!
Do you really expect me to believe that yarn???? Next time “go” before you leave the house – you can be excitable. Oh, wash your hands, too. I have to admit, though, the “diet soda” as a clever ad lib. ;P
Excellent. I love it. I really do, I know that makes me a bad person and all, but I love it when silly and embarrassing things happen to other people. It makes me feel far more normal. Really, hilarious post.
Oh my goodness… I was thinking instead of “Thank goodness it wasnt Mountain Dew” maybe “Thank heavens it wasnt FRUIT PUNCH!”
And congrats on being to your destination -1 min on time!! (Maybe someday I will accomplish that achievement!!)
