*remember
i stopped at this farmstand on the way to work and i generally love this little place, it is very quaint rural new england even though it is in boston, it is in this old barn and has great produce, honey, milk, eggs, and cheese and specialty products from small farms in MA but when i walked in this morning they were playing that bon iver song "skinny love" which it just too much for me in general but combined with the cute rustic vibe of this farmstand i just felt so fucking embarrassed like i was in a commercial with ukuleles or something praising the benefits of "eating fresh, eating local" and i starting cringing and had to leave immediately without buying anything

btw here is the song if you have not already been bombarded with ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssdgFoHLwnk
bon iver makes any potentially embarrassing situation veer directly into blood-vessel burstingly embarrassing

The field-trip t-shirts my kids wear this summer at daycare say "It's A [Daycare Name] Thing – You Wouldn't Understand."

marcos I think your mortification was because you suddenly found yourself in the Chobani yogurt cow commercial.

This is not embarrassing, it's hilarious.

Can you get me one in an adult L please
You could probably wear one of the kids shirts. They definitely bet on oversized rather than too small this year.
Must've looked like a group of Fry Guys walking into the zoo yesterday.

what's with the one that says 'it's your mom's birthday'? how would they know that?
I like to think that somewhere there is a list of words you can't have “Rippled” onto a latte, a la words you can't have printed on the back of an nfl jacket
― soref, Thursday, 2 July 2015 18:46 (eight years ago) link
the 'it's your mom's birthday' latte seems to have a facebook logo on it as well, so the machine pulled the information from facebook I guess?

used a curling iron today, felt searing humiliation(it's fairly rational embarrassment imo but the degree is definitely out of proportion to the act)
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 13:48 (eight years ago) link
Are you sure the searing embarrassment wasn't actual searing?
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 15:10 (eight years ago) link
No, it came from inside the house.

facebook discussions/debates that pull in friends from completely disparate parts of my life, like when some high school friend jumps in with the college friend and the co-worker and the random neighborhood playground friend and they're like not even on the same discursive planet let alone page.

posting on facebook at all makes me feel embarrassed but i do it from time to time anyway to let ppl know i'm still alive
i used the curling iron because i had to get my dl renewed and i'm 99% sure i was embarrassed about my vanity/embarrassed at how little the curling iron did to improve things

Sometimes it results in uncomfortable political conversations, other times it's just like one person not keyed in at all to some kind of inside-jokey humor sensibility like "Wait, are you guys serious right now?!!!"
― five six and (man alive), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 20:43 (eight years ago) link
are you embarrassed to know these people or embarrassed on their behalf?
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 21:03 (eight years ago) link
I don't know, I'm sort of simultaneously embarrassed from all sides.

i still can't say the sizes at starbucks, all i know is "tall"

This exchange from the coffee thread reminded me that having to say the coffee sizes at Starbucks is a deeply embarrassing and shame-ridden exercise. Whether you use the special Starbucks' terminology or just s/m/l, you lose either way.

One thing I often found fairly drinkable and satisfying was a "Double Tall Two Pump Mocha" -- i.e. a tall mocha with an extra shot and less chocolate syrup, and of course no whipped cream. I also like the "short" size because you get a better proportion of espresso to milk.

"Double Tall" is the weirdest fucking way to phrase it, but that's exactly what they call it. Also I think there's an order that they call something like "Iced Tall Unsweetened Iced Coffee" -- they actually say "iced" twice!
― five six and (man alive), Friday, 24 July 2015 17:52 (eight years ago) link
not to be all trenchant but the best answer there is don't go to starbucks

i don't drink coffee!well, coffee and choc milk (which is a new fave thing) but i do that at home because the world has not caught up

I wouldn't say that I'm a Starbucks regular, but as a dedicated coffee drinker there are going to be times when it is a necessary evil
― too young for seapunk (Moodles), Friday, 24 July 2015 17:57 (eight years ago) link
asking a stranger to make you special coffee drinks in general is embarrassingi just want a cup of coffee with some milk in it, and then i want another one. the only special thing i like re: coffee is my "thanks i needed that" mug because it's so stupid.
again though sharing personal details about coffee (or anything) consumption: embarrassing
― La Lechera, Friday, 24 July 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link
My work neighborhood in the last two years has suddenly blossomed with good coffee places. Before that there was Oren's and Starbucks, although I still mostly went to Oren's. My neighborhood in Queens though has three Starbucks and didn't have anything else until like 6 months ago, and even that place is about 20 mins walk from me.
― five six and (man alive), Friday, 24 July 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link
yea the situation can often be starbucks or gas station coffee for your two choices, sbux is def preferable then
― marcos, Friday, 24 July 2015 18:01 (eight years ago) link
we have alot of good coffee places with their own roasters in Sac now, including a great one right by my house
I work in the suburbs & the only places near work are peets and sbux. always try to opt for peets, coffee is a million x better, but it's further away
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 24 July 2015 18:27 (eight years ago) link
I've still never bought a coffee at Starbucks, and if it were the only choice I could go without because TEA.
