Really, my interactions with people are laughable.
THIS is what happened:
I’d just come upstairs from getting a drink when I heard a knock on the front door. My mum is the kind of parent who says ‘Don’t EVER ANSWER THE DOOR!’ And me, being the rebellious child, walked downstairs and opened the door.
I sort of peeked around it – pointless, because I can’t bloody see but y’know, I wanted to see how tall the person was and that.
I just stood there and waited for them to speak.
“Hi-”
They must have seen the way I wasn’t REALLY looking at them just then. My eyes do this weird-ass thing where they, er, roll around? I don’t really know.
“Um, can you see?”
“Wha – er, no.” I said that so frankly that it shocked me. And I’d also never really had anyone ask me that. I wasn’t offended or anything.
“Well, is anybody home?”
“Erm not at the moment, but… Who is… I mean, um, who are you?” WOW, ELM! WOW!
“Oh, I’m from the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.”
“Oh! Well, my mum’s coming back in about.. 3 hours?” (Lie, it was more like an hour).
“Oh, okay-”
“So you could come back then…”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
“Okay bye!” And then I close the door, turn round, run into the kitchen and dissolve into laughter.
Oh my god. That was so so so embarrassing WHAT THE OSCAR!
Let me just crawl into a hole and not emerge for a decade.
Meet Elm: a girl who can’t string a sentence together and becomes incredibly awkward at the worst moments. TAH-DAH!
Just Call Me Elm or Something 
Sounds so like me Elm when I try talk to people XD
YES!
WAIT isn’t that how people talk with each other? I never thought it as socially awkward…oops. XD
Basically that conversation is me, everytime, on the phone. *facepalms*
🙂 Oh Elm!
Haha may have been awkward but it’s a funny story to tell 😉
That is basically me ever single day of my life. I don’t even know the difference between awkward and not awkward anymore. To be honest you handled that a lot better than I could dream of.
PAH! I bet that’s rubbish 😀
Ha! Well, you haven’t witnessed me ordering chips
Don’t worry, someone came to the door and I wasn’t sure whether I should say ‘good morning’ or ‘good afternoon’ so I said ‘good morntoon’. Yeahhh 😦
Oh my god that is BEAUTIFUL! 😀
I know worse! You did a pretty decent job, actually 😀
Haha, yeah right! 😀
What kind of worse things do you know? 🙂
Wouldn’t you like to know 😂
Well, it’s a story about myself, really. And it’s soooo awkward that I’m really really embarrassed to tell you! I might write about it someday, but who knows… Haha.
Haha! If you’re uncomfortable saying it publically, email me 😀
