How Embarrasing

Oh my god! I had the most embarrassing moment EVER today. My office/craft room has been under construction since last September and today was finally ready to paint, so I was dispatched to go and look for a carpet. Me and the little fella went to the local carpet shop and a nice chap was helping me, then a youngish couple and and old bloke were floating about near us in the shop and the old bloke says to my helpful chap " how much for this?"and drags my chap away! So I am standing there feeling like a right prat and quite frankly a bit p***ed off. He barged in an stole mychap - how rude!! Now normally I would avoid confrontation with strangers and would then go home and beat myself up for being a total wimpo! But I am thinking "what a cheeky sod, I am not having this!" SO I look the old chap straight in the eye and say "well I don't know if you noticed, but this chap was helping me before you BARGED in and THANKS VERY MUCH!"

The old chap and the couple looked at me for a second and said nowt, so I am thinking "good on ya gal , you finally stood up for yourself". Helpful chap comes back to me and I say "sorry, I am not usually so gobby but that old bloke wound me up" Helpful chap just smiled at me and said "it's OK"

10 mins later and the couple have left and i noticed the old chap is still around.................and behind the bloody counter. It takes a minute or 10 before my pea brain suddenly thinks...............OH MY GOD THE OLD GUY WORKS HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The poor guy was asking my chap for a bit of advice and I tore a strip off him duuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrr

Much red facedness and a grovelly apology followed and I still feel very silly. So I have resolved to be meek and mild and not open my BIG trap again...............................I am soooo not going back to that shop either, I think Carpet World Calls!
