#embarrassing moment

Why you should do your research on cultures that’s not your own.

For about two months I have been seeing this scarf in the window of a second hand store and I recognize it as a keffiyah, a Palestinian piece of clothing. You have probably seen them many times on the news. For context, this keffiyah was white and red. Why does that matter? You will find out soon enough.

So after asking the clerk if the scarf was for sale and she said yes, I bought and took it home(and put it in the freezer to kill off any fleas that might have been on it). Then I looked at one of the videos I had reblogged on the keffiyah and I thought “Why haven’t I seen many white and red keffiyah among the white and black ones?” So I looked up keffiyah on the internet and read that the black ones were more associated with the Palestinian movement while the red ones…could kinda be associated with hamas.

The rules about the colors are pretty loose from what I understand, but I’m still embarrassed about not doing my research on the clothing before buying one for myself. I really hope that I can get the Palestinian flag sown into the fabric of the scarf to hopefully rectify my mistake😓 Maybe just try to find a black one with the fish net pattern in future.

Edit: I know that Palestinians are not the only ones who wears keffiyah, I thought that they came in different colors, that’s all. Feel kinda stupid for forgetting that colors have different meanings in different places. I study cultures, I should have known better.

Edit: check latest reblog.

My sister reminded me today of smth I did when I was 12/13 that is...quite possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever done and I've spent entire day trying to forget about it and convince myself that it made me who I was today but it is literally THE WORSTTT

and I know full well my mum remembers it too but I don't wanna remind her

So that's why I've been offline, I was trying to force myself to forget it

Sobbing

Putting it in the tags bc I just...have to tell someone or I'll explode

I was having an imaginary conversation in my head, and I got pretty invested in it, I I started kinda acting it out, like making gestures with my hands and mouthing what I would say. And then my mother fucking walked in and asked why I'm waving my arms around. Someone please kill me now.

Using prompt:"Why do you have a pair of her panties in your dresser?" "WHY ARE YOU IN MY DRESSER?!."

Its a typical Friday night ,and Raph upon entering his room finds Mikey of all the brothers, there at his dresser.

Mikey shot up and looks at Raph with a rather unreadable expression:"Why do you have a pair of her panties in your dresser?."

Raph was on the defenssive immediately:"WHY ARE YOU IN MY DRESSER?."

Mikey:"Uhhh look I was just looking for uh my other boxers so-."

Raph facepalms:"Yer really bad at lying Mikey."

Mikey chuckled sheepily:"Umm I was just curious as I read couples share dresser space. I wanted to see if thats true."

lets just say Raph had to have a talk with Mikey about privacy...and girlfriends🤣👀.

Decided to redraw that picture of Ben I did back in October. The old pic (top picture) I didn’t use any photo references or help. The new one (bottom picture) I used an image from dreamstime to help guide me in tracing the position of the body and hands for learning purposes

Please do not steal or repost my art

I give up on life.

I can’t stop thinking about an embarrassing moment that happened like two minutes ago. Why did I fucking stutter. I think I’m just gonna stop talking until I’m 100% sure I know what the conversation is about.

It wasn’t bad for other people watching but for me I wish to move to a forest deserted entirely by all humanoid life forms and cut all connections to the outside work and become a hermit who travels occasionally when I hear loud noises I don’t like.

Anyways how is everyone else’s day going cause mine sucks.

Tell me your embarrassing moments

I accidentally told the doctor I have a boyfriend. I don't. But she was speaking German and asked if I had a something something "Freund" and that means friend as well so I was like "yeah I have a best friend :D" and she was like "oh! Okay. And wrote something down

this was months ago and I still think about it

You know when you say a full speech to someone thinking they’re in the room but they’re not and you have to pause. That’s really embarrassing even though no one judges you for it

My most embarrassing moment?

... Oh god, buckle up.

So my dad was getting work done on the car, but I didn't know this. I've got 3 siblings, my younger ones and I were watching TV in the living room and the oldest had been holed up for over an hour in the 2nd/Kids bathroom. The door locked and they told me to fuck off when I knocked begging to let me use the toilet. My parents had been AWAL since I woke up. I knocked on their door hoping to use the master bath but there was no answer. I asked my younger siblings if they had gone to the store since they usually locked their bedroom door when they went out (my oldest siblings a damn theif) and they shrugged and said Probably?

So. First bathrooms a no go. 2nd bathrooms locked up. I look out the window, and theres no car. The countdown to massive bladder failure is on, and I refuse to take a piss outside (again). So I go around to the side of the yard with my parents bedroom window. It's an old house and the windows slide up and down easy, but you gotta be careful because if you don't have something to hold them they slam shut.

So there I am halfway into their bedroom window, carefully navigating the slider, when I hear a noise. I look up and there are my parents. Everybody freezes. Time freezes. I see things that cannot be unseen. Then suddenly time restarts and everyone is yelling. I scramble backward, loose grip and the window slams shut right on me and I'm STUCK. my parents don't help... which thank God, they didn't. I flail my teenage body like I've never flailed before, wedge myself free, the chair I'm on tips backwards and I fall backward onto the side fence.

I stare at the house in shock for a few seconds, then go take a piss behind the shed. I walk back in the house to see my oldest sibling on the couch with the others, hair still wrapped up in a towel. They took one look at me, brushed off my disheveled state, and told me the bathroom was open.

And no. Me and my parents never talked about it. I guess mutual scarage took place that day, so I never got in trouble.
