Awkward experiences...

Post Reply New Topic

I just had an awkward experience that inspired me to start a thread where we can share awkward experiences.

I managed to get a single room for this college year because AS helped me qualify for it which is good. The engineer who built this dorm made it so that the single rooms are the very furthest from the bathroom and shower. I should also mention that the dorm is co-ed. So I'm heading to the shower and I'm wearing nothing but a towel, and some girl storms out of a room right in front of where I was walking, and she yells "f**k you, f**k you, f**k you, f**k you" to who I think was her boyfriend in the room, and starts sobbing uncontrollably. It's a narrow hallway. As I said, awkward. I'm sure I'm not the only person here to have had an awkward experience in a dorm.

Actually, this turtle is going backwards.

This happened to me when I was a lot younger, and long before I was diagnosed with AS. My family went out for dinner at a fancy restaurant, dragging me along. Generally, the fancier the restaurant, the less likely there's something on the menu that I like to eat. After much searching, I finally located a dish entitled "shrimp platter". Since I liked shrimp, and couldn't find anything else, I decided to order that. And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. By the time our food finally arrived, over half an hour later, I was starving. I looked down at my plate and saw... three solitary shrimp. That's it. Just three. Lacking any sort of social aptitude, I immediately shouted at the top of my lungs, "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! !" Seriously, what kind of restaurant charges enormous amounts of money for fancy-shmancy dishes that wouldn't satisfy a cocker spaniel? On the plus side, after this little incident I didn't get dragged to fancy restaurants quite so often.

People are crazy and don't think about any consequences for any of there actions so alot of them just say things without really thinking about them at all most of the time. The world is a crazy place.

Hmm. Well, whenever I see a girl crying, unless she seems really angry I tend to hug them. But I'm a girl, and straight, so I guess it wouldn't have been appropriate for you to do the same, especially if you were wearing nothing but a towel.

I'm in a suite with 4 other girls. We all share a bathroom, with the toilet cubicle-ed off so that one person can be ...in there, while somebody is in the shower and while everybody else is at the sinks. Well. One night I'm at the sink and my suite-mate comes in to use the toilet. Via the sounds I realize I need to get out, and fast, and moments after my roommate and I climb into bed and turn the light off she loudly proclaimed to the world "guys, the toilet's clogged, you need to help."

My roommate and I obviously pretended to already be asleep.

And then there was the time where all I had to eat that day was a massive helping of nachos, cheesey fries, and chocolate donuts. Delicious, but bad for a finicky stomach. A couple hours later I was "bowing down to the porcelain god" or whatever you want to call it, and my suite-mates just sort of stood there, watching me, wondering what to do.

There are positives to having your own bathroom, but as you can see there are also some obvious negatives.

ha ha ha.... that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time!! thanks for cheering me up! if I had been dining at the restaurant at that time I would have stood up to shake your hand! I hope you're keeping up the good work please don't change! people like you give me hope that not all is lost yet for humanity.
