Not having the courage to stand up to certain people over the years.

On a programming course in London popped into jacket spud shop for overpriced snack.
Assistant stood and stared at me as I ordered and kept saying BA-TA!!, BA-TA!!.
I kept saying pardon? pardon?
I closed the door to hear better - he snapped at me to open it again as people would think he'd shut the shop.
BA-TA!!, BA-TA!!
Sudden realisation dawned. Butter?
That was 20 years ago and I still cringe at the memory.

Phew! I thought I was going to have tell you about the incident with the girlfriend, the toilet (lack of), the alcohol and the vigorous sex. Got away with that one then.

Let me just say in my defence we'd both had a lot to drink over the course of the evening. There was no available toilet and to be honest we were more interested in ripping each others clothes off. We got back to her place and...You have said too much already to back out now! Do tell!
Sorry. I can't go on. Too cringey even now.

Said too much already. Twenty years later I can still feel the waves of self loathing about to drown me just thinking about it.

General self loathing is what brought me to start this thread, so don't worry, you are in good company, and things are rarely as bad as what people think at the time anyway.

I think I've told this before but I'll give it again anyway:
I used to commute by train up to central London every morning. I'd been late a few times and late again this morning I was rushing and desperate not to miss my train again. Coming down the stairs to the platform the train was just creeping out of the station so I upped the pace ran along yanked open the door (slam door train) jumped in slammed the door shut and flopped down on the seat. I glanced around and everyone was looking at me, all with a puzzled look.
Then the train slowly pulled to a standstill. It was coming in, not pulling out.
Another train incident.
A warm summers evening sitting in the packed train on the way home, the sun beating in through the window, the rocking of the train, the rhythmic clicking of the wheels on the track, tired after work.
Next thing I know I am waking up. head cranked over to one side resting on the shoulder of the bloke sat next to me. He was also asleep.
It gets worse.
I had been drooling, onto his shoulder.
It gets worse.
All the passengers sat opposite were smirking.
It gets worse.
They were all girls/young women.
I was about 17 at the time and I think you could have fried eggs on my face I was blushing that much.

Reminds me of an occasion when I was trying to find out which train to catch from a station somewhere in Europe. I went to one of the ticket windows and asked the man behind the counter. "Dick 'Ed, Dick 'Ed!" he shouted to me. Went off in a huff, mumbling about no need for that kind of attitude, when it occurred to me that he was asking to see my ticket...

When I was in Brum I cycled to work every day and left it in our secure back yard.
One evening a colleague told me I had a puncture so I went down to sort it out before I had to do it at 10pm when we were due to finish.
I went out into the yard, crouched down next to my bike and rrrrrrrrrrrrip split my trousers open from arse to front! Luckily no one was around but when I told my team what had happened they ran up to our CCTV room and found the footage!!! OMG blushing much?!
