People making references to sexual congress in mixed company = me being so embarrassed. Was at a party last week in which a woman asked the men, what do you call your dick? and the jokes and resulting answers were evidently enjoyed by all, with no apparent embarrassment on either side. My inner Puritan was mortified, I kind of had to pretend it wasn't happening.

i would mentally be digging a hole in the floor for me to sit in, that sounds mortifying

I get embarrassed by stuff like that too. And also I wouldn't have an answer.

So I was doin' my old lady when the doorbell rings...

I would assume they were performing their wacky impression of an old lady.

hahahaha

listen hun can you grab the oleo for me thanks dear uuuuuuuuggghhhh my sciatica

in other news, today a student (female) belched in class and wasn't embarrassed at all

she has my vote

eating ramen in public. there's this delicious ramen place that i would eat at every day if i could, but i cannot get it into my mouth in a dignified fashion. it's mortifying. i could get it to-go, but they charge a buck for the take-out container and it's just more plastic waste i'd end up throwing away.

listening to a phrasebook-style teach-yourself-German podcast, and even the English phrases are really enunciated with wild pitch swings and strange pauses, and it is agonising. it's like a very bad radio play, and I sometimes get this same feeling even from not-so-bad radio plays.

(I get that it's probably done to cater to EFL people who know more English than German and are using this in the absence of one in their own language. I wonder if the German sounds as horrible to a native speaker as the English does to me?)

In an Amazon review of a window fan, a reviewer wrote that the fan made a noise that bothered them like fingernails on a chalkboard...for us old folks who can remember chalk boards :)

UGH;a;sdlfkj

re: ramen, is it just ramen or any noodles?

right now i am sat in a restaurant eating nasi goreng, and every time i dig in with my chopsticks the plate spins. this will not do.

the weezer song "el scorcho." they have lots of embarrassing songs but most of them are also good and the embarrassing aspects come from awkward emotional places. but that one is musically embarrassing. the pseudo-rapping, the lite "funkiness" ugh

that kind of "funkiness" generally makes me irrationally embarrassed, yes

being up late on the US west coast and having the last answer on the top 6 or 7 ILE threads. And worrying that I posted this same one already

Any time I hear two people older than, say, 14, talking in any detail about a video game, like actually having a conversation about specific things one does or has done in a video game, or analyzing the finer points of a games strengths and weaknesses.

i am having #chobanitime RIGHT NOW
feeling no shame though, for some reason

lol @ #chobanitime

whenever i notice the chobani at the market it reminds me of you, ll, and then i have a little think about if it's embarrassing or not and I always conclude it's not in any way I can grasp and then sometimes I will go on to ponder my own deficiencies.

Costco has big variety packs of both Chobani and Fage :)
Both of them are the 0% fat kind :(

estela, have you ever tried to say it out loud? that might help you understand the shame.

"Funny" sexual innuendos that aren't funny. I used to see someone who did this all the time and when I didn't laugh or played along, she would always complain about me "not getting it" ...then I pretended to agree, of course, cause the alternative would be tell her it was neither sexy not funny :/

xp i have ll, and i can never be sure if it starts with a ch or a sh sound (i've never heard it being advertised) so yes, that is slightly embarrassing.

i had thought it was the product itself that was the source of your mortification.

it's everything
it's the fact that i purchase it, the name (which i always thought was pronounced like /tʃ/ as in 'change'), the fact that i can't stop eating (relishing!) yogurt that is "passion fruit" flavored

the whole enterprise makes me look at myself and wonder how things could have gone so wrong
and yogurt isn't supposed to do that

would always complain about me "not getting it"

anytime I'm waiting in line and I catch the eye of the employee that's helping someone else, because they invariably say "I'll be with you in a moment sir" as if they think I'm looking at them impatiently and then I feel bad because really my eyes were just wandering around the room, and I looked at them by chance.

ah yeah me too, also "sorry for the wait" because I have bitchy resting face so they think I'm really pissed off while I'm just standing there

I have signed up to the Guardian subscription thing where you pay by direct debit and they send you a booklet of coupons that you exchange for the Guardian in newsagents, but feel irrationally embarrassed every time I leave a shop with a newspaper having given the assistant a piece of paper rather than actual money.

xp passionfruit chobani is also my favourite chobani of all. maybe it seems unshameful to me because i have a defiant vanilla rice pudding habit which has been going on daily for some years now and which i can't see me stopping ever.

See, that's the one I don't like not because of taste (it tastes great), but because of the seeds.

That Guardian thing sounds like all of the hassle of using a coupon without the benefits of a coupon.

Well, it's cheaper than it would otherwise be. But I always think that everyone who sees me paying for the newspaper with the coupon immediately hates me for it, maybe that's me being paranoid (or maybe they already hated you anyway etc)

are they dignified-looking little pieces of paper or are they a bunch of old tat.

At my work they are running a promotion in the canteen where you can download a code on you mobile phone to get a discount off your purchase, which has the effect of making every transaction take twice as long as it otherwise would as people search for their phones in their bag/waive their phone around trying to get a signal etc and I get so mad at these people making me late off my break when I only want to buy a mars bar because they're spending 5 hours dicking around with their mobile so they can get 30p off their fucking baked potato or whatever, and I'm concerned this is what the other people in the newsagents feel towards me, but maybe other people are not as irritable as I am.

coupons are great fuck the haters

lolll @ shobani

They are quite dignified looking I suppose. They have my name printed on them which I also find embarrassing, I don't want the newsagent to know my name. If I use one of them in a newsagent any distance from my home town I feel vaguely worried that someone could be using them to track my movements, but there is no plausible reason why anyone should want to do this even if they could, this is probably more 'innocuous things that make you irrationally paranoid' I suppose.

I feel just like such a feeb rooting around in my bag, taking out my little booklet of coupons, carefully tearing the coupon out so the sides don't get ragged and passing it too the newsagent, I feel like I look like exactly the kind of person who would do something like that and I'm just confirming everyone's first impression of me.
If I was watching a movie where the cool, glamorous lead bought a newspaper they would not pay for it with a coupon from a booklet.
