I just really enjoy photo booths. Even though they often make me feel as if I have no personality. Because all I do once I get in there is panic and say, "Wait, what do we do? What do we do??" Board games create a similar effect. Also ordering at a coffee shop. I don't drink coffee, because Mormon, so it's a unique and humiliating experience each and every time. "Hi, um, I just want the, uh, small ....peppermint hot cocoa?" I always say it as like it's a question because I have difficulty being assertive. Obviously, they know I'm a total n00b right away because I can never remember which size out of demi, short, tall, grande or venti means small in Starbucks language. Is not clear that I have no idea what I'm doing? People are starting to stare. And then there's the fact that I'm in a coffee shop not even ordering actual coffee. Just take my money and let me go home.

I seriously panic at coffee shops. I just don't like coffee, and so I feel like they can see right through my chocolatey-whipcream lies.
ReplyDeletei totally know what you mean about the not knowing the weird sizes. i have just completely given up, and say small, medium, or large. they always correct me. IT'S A SMALL, DANGIT!
ReplyDeletehahaha. yes!! i'm good with board games, but coffee shops unnerve me! that's why i never go in to them alone, and i always get one the person with me got. even if it doesn't sound great. and most of the time i just make them order for me anyway. :p
ReplyDeletedrive thrus were made for people like us. the humiliation is contained to me and the voice coming out of the box.
ReplyDeleteI also have trouble ordering at a coffee shop because I never know what all the drinks are or the sizes. and I start to panic. So now I just order exactly what my sister gets ha!
