Don't you hate it when you look stupid in front of people? |
|
So I'm in my Post Modern American Poetry class,and we're reading James Wright. After class, I decided to talk to my professor because,hey, he's wicked awesome like that. The follow conversation took place, and afterwords, I wanted to shoot myself for looking for ridiculously retarded:
Me: You know, James Wright reminds me an awful lot of Franz Wright. Prof. James Wright is his father. Me: What? I thought Franz Wright's father was Franz Wright Sr. Prof: No, Franz Wright is the son of James Wright. Me: Wha....(I realize that I was totally disregarding the last name on James Wright). Oh lord. I'm so sorry. I look like an idiot. Professor just chuckled at me. ARghghhh! x(

If your professor was really cool he would have said, "That's alright, dear, common mistake."

11. Aw, jeez, and I forgot to take a bow. |
|
On the other hand, I probably would have split my pants. It was that kind of day.

7. There comes a point in life when you can't possibly be embarrassed |

There comes a point when you've been embarrassed so many times that you can't possibly be embarrassed ever again. So take comfort in the fact that further humiliations are inevitable. ;)
I, for instance, am an English teacher who just misspelled the word embarrassed. Twice.
