Honestly, I've done similar things. A couple of weeks ago one of my neighbours, Maurine, who also happens to be a member of the legislative assembly, waved at me from across the street, so I went to talk to her, and after a little while I suddenly realized I hadn't introduced Monster, who happened to be standing next to me, so I said to my neighbour, "This is my partner, John," (that's his real name, I don't introduce him as Monster). But I didn't tell John who she was, and she said, "Hi, John, I'm Maurine." And it hit me, "Oh, damn, I should have said, "Maurine, this is John, and John, this is Maurine." Duh! (Although I did kind of think that since she is a politician for our area, maybe he should know who she is.)
You and me both hun. Try being in Paris on top of the Arc de Triumphe, where the hot, FRENCH Red Cross volunteer is trying to ask you out for ten minutes, and I just ignore him. And it's not a language barrier, since he spoke English just fine. I'm just dumb. SMH.
(I walk into my English classroom and sit among a bunch of my peers I have known for four years. There is a new girl next to me.)
Me: Are you new?
Girl: Yeah.
Me: (turns away)
SERIOUSLY I did this and I feel so stupid looking back. I must have looked so 'meh, new kid'. I mean, we're friends now but my life is full of these sort of awkward, unintentional rudeness.
