I’m the same way about embarrassing situations for other people. I handle my own embarrassment WAY better than watching someone else’s!

Oh my gosh! Some people just don’t know how to speak correctly without coming off offensive.

I have a D&D purse which I call my ‘Dooney & Dooney’ purse-a great $15 knock off. I saved a few hundred on that thing! I love when I am in a store and someone points out my “Dooney & Bourke.” What little do they know.

That has happened to me . If Zoot were behind me she would become annoyed. I then have to stand in line and hold it up until the problem with the card is resolved. I mean I called the manager over (it was in a dept store) and pitched a fit. Of course I knew I had paid my recent bills ,but instead of being normal and just paying with a debit or another source I have to stand in line and argue about lack of service. I am AWFUL. I also love expensive purses and laugh at Punked.

Oh, I am cringing from here. I get so embarrassed for other people. I simply cannot watch American Idol. Cannot. Or watch people in real life karaoke. I just cringe and hide.

That cashier needs some training. Mostly in how to be professional and mind her own business.

why does it seem so common for people dealing with the public (especially those working registers) to be so socially tactless?

i’m exactly like you – i get embarrassed vicariously very easily, too. heck, i got a little embarrassed just reading the story. (“NO she did NOT say that!”, wincing)

Oh, what a story! And, the bag IS cute but I am WAY to cheap to buy expensive handbags.

This is one of my biggest phobias in life. Having a debit or credit card denied. I’ve seen it happen to people and I cringe everytime it happens. I’m such a freak that I always call the bank before I use any card to make sure there hasn’t been some kind of ‘technical’ glitch at the bank! Seriously deranged, I know.

My heart breaks for this woman.

Have a great weekend.
