Yeah that was me

A few weeks ago I had a super fun day at work.. um by fun I mean I made a fool of myself... yeah fun to watch is more appropriate! 
I was on my way up to the food court to buy a drink.  On the second floor.. which means I have to take the escalators... and I feel that if you just stand there you are wasting time.  You could walk up and get there twice as fast with an escalator.. so I was walking up and was almost to the top when.. I tripped!  I pretty much went from vertical to horizontal in like 2 seconds... if you haven't had to privilege of being in the superstition springs mall, the food court and escalators are in the middle of the mall where everyone can see!! (O the JOY!!)  The best part was the old people at the top who started laughing... and pointing!  There is nothing like having old people point and laugh at you...
I started laughing pretty much as soon as I hit.. which if you have heard me laugh you will know that it isn't a quiet thing.  So those who were other wised occupied had their attention grabbed by a big girl falling and laughing like a sad hurt animal..
I continued laughing because really it was funny, went and got two drinks, one for me and one for my coworker and started back toward the escalators.  the old guy who laughed at me before took the opportunity to warn me of the dangers of the escalators.. Thanks old guy I hadn't realized that you could fall on your face on an escalator!!!
So I made it back to my store, still giggling to myself.  Had to tell my coworker about it because it was just so funny. 
I got back to work and didn't think anything of it until..um... a cute guy who shall be un-named...lets call him...HTG...(there are reasons for said nick name..)
So HTG came into my store, which usually is a fun treat and I smile flirt and just plane enjoy.  But today.. he started out the conversation with... I saw your epic trip today.. HAHAHAH!! yeah that was him laughing at me..
I started laughing because really how could it have been more embarrassing?  we talked for awhile (which was just fine with me!)  And I confesed to him that I fall alot.. this was just one of my more public acts... he said he was glad I could laugh about it and I responded with "Yeah I think that if you can't laugh at your self you dont deserve to laugh at others and I love mocking others so I have to mock myself!"

So to all of you tight lips.. please mock yourself because I know you are laughing with me right now!!!!

Thanks for reading!!!

  2. Just out of curiosity, does HTG stand for Hot Topic Guy? I am not sure why, but that is the first thing that came into my head... Hot Topic is a store in the mall right??
