Just thought i'd share this with everyone.. who reads this, whoever that is though i'm pretty sure it's no one.
My most embarrassing moment happened last year (i think). I got my first ever library card at the Lancaster Public Library (after Alex and I had walked there <20> on a day a few weeks earlier just thinking we could check out a book. Nope, my license didn't say i lived in Lancaster and his didn't say our current address.. so no library card for us and home we walked again.) Back on track, I got the library card and then thought.. 'now where do i go from here? i don't know where anything is! fiction.. non-fiction.. dvds.. how do i navigate this place when they don't have many signs??' I just started wandering around. Not really looking closely at any books just walking through the aisles. At one point i thought.. well there appears to be a downstairs and an upstairs, so how to I get there? The elevator that I saw must've been broken, but there was a door and I could see stairs through it. The only problem was it was supposedly an 'emergency exit' .. but my first time being there i was all ' but i don't know of any other stairs so this MUST be the stairs i want to take.' Throwing caution to the wind, I hit the door to open it. Yep, the alarm went off.. I'm pretty sure the people near those stairs were watching what I was doing and instead of stopping me and telling me about the other staircase, they watched me hit the door and then definitely watched as I backed away and started walking in the other direction. As I walked out, a security guard walked by and I told him it was my first time in the Library and that I was sorry. I think the whole library was staring at me at this point. But he pointed me in the direction of the 'real stairs' and I went on my way to find my books.
I know that may not seem like the most embarrassing thing ever but I guess that just means I haven't really experienced many embarrassing situations.. for myself of course.
Happy hump day!
