Woman Realizes She Looked Utterly Insane In A Pet Store By Asking About Cats
Some situations just need a little more context or clarity for people to fully understand what you're talking about. Sometimes, in a public space, you may find yourself saying something out loud that strangers cannot comprehend.
Maybe it's an inside joke or a word that means something to you and your friends but nothing to the average person. Making yourself look crazy in public by saying something that only you and perhaps a friend would understand can lead to some confused looks from the public.
This person experienced just that when she was speaking to her husband and said 'Kat's,' but everyone thought she was saying 'cats.' Do you see how this could be confusing?
Well, wait until you hear the whole story, because honestly, I'd probably look at her the same way her husband and everyone else did when she said this. Providing a little context before saying something could prevent people from looking at you like you're crazy.
On that note, let's dive into this story and see exactly what she said that made everyone in the pet store, including her husband, look at her as if she had lost her mind. Spoiler alert: her husband eventually understood what she was trying to say.
Alright, so here is the story and a bit of backstory as well.
The bulk of the story, and now we can see why this might have confused others.
The embarrassment was real.
But were they Kat's? The best question and comment.
People seem to have enjoyed this story.
One of the best TIFU stories compared to some others.
I'm sure people thought she was absolutely crazy or seriously confused.
Commenters are honestly laughing at this, and it's great.
The giggles have been sparked by this story.
Here is a similar story that has happened to someone else. OP isn't the only one.
Definitely when your brain short-circuits. Brain fog. Blonde moment. Whatever you want to call it.
The laughter generated by this post is amazing.
Another situation that is similar to OP's.
The partner should have played along.
Bystanders probably thought that OP was crazy and definitely have a different version of the story.
The partner could have played along and created a whole scene for the bystanders.
A different and creative perspective.
Yes, we hope the embarrassment has passed!
See? Context is important when saying things in front of strangers.
"I understand your pain."
Secondhand embarrassment is definitely real and present.
Best Reddit post for sure, according to this commenter.
After reading this story, I think it's safe to say that many of us might be more cautious about what we say in public without providing ample context. This is a situation that is very common.
Also, as a bystander, I have to understand, from this story, that you don't always know what's going on and not to make assumptions. Honestly, people could be discussing things that you have no idea about.
Have you ever experienced anything like this in your life?
