xp my experience seeing films in theaters in LA is that people treat every film as a masterpiece. I used to be a little embarrassed by it but now I really like it

So far the only thing to register as genuinely embarrassing is the songs named after people. I remember being lightly embarrassed for Mick Jagger after he appeared in that Kesha song but that was also possibly bc I was super stressed out and the song was painfully stuck in my head. I think maybe I don’t feel truly irrationally embarrassed unless I’m eating a Chobani.

Performative driving-your-car-out-of-the-way when there's an ambulance or police car coming and you weren't even slightly in the way in the first place.

See. that's why when I hear sirens, I flick on the hazards, speed up to about 60 and lean on the horn, screaming out the window EVERYONE OUT OF THE WAY, AMBULANCE COMING THROUGH.
And if it turns out there really was no ambulance, well, I'm too far down the road to really feel embarrassed about anything.
― pplains, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 01:52 (four years ago) link
I can't for the life of me see why this would embarrass you, so it clearly is the kind of highly irrational response this thread solicits. I can't even figure out if its you or another driver who is pulling over, so even your description has a whiff of irrationality to it.
I think this post may set a new standard for the rest of us to aim at.

One of my cats is obsessed with going into the bathroom with me. I don't exactly find it embarrassing, but it certainly is weird.

If you live in a city, your dog will never crap unobserved by you, so when they find you enthroned on the can it is merely fair-play turnabout.
― coup de twat (suzy), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 05:32 (four years ago) link
Just to be clear, moving out of the way of ambulances is fine and good, obviously. Driving your car across the cycle lane and onto the verge when there is already loads of room for it to get through, as if this is some sort of competition as to who can get most out of the way, this is embarrassing.

When I was sitting down on the toilet, our old cat used to wander in and curl up in my lowered underpants, which was unhelpful.

<3 Lyle (and also sorry for your loss), but those must have been some itchy boxers with all the cat hair.
There's a new café near my work; it seemed nice and I know it's hard to get business in the spot they're in so I said I'd bring some flyers into work. The flyers say "Formally <previous name of business or business in same location>" rather than "formerly" and I feel weirdly like if I'd seen that before I talked to the café lady I'd never have volunteered to bring them round.
Which is weird because it doesn't really matter, and it's not like I have anything to do with the café or its advertising.
(For max irony value I am not 100% sure whether "flyer" or "flier" is correct, so it will also be embarrassing if that's wrong! I did check the OED, which prefers "flyer", but also talks like it's some obscure American word that nobody ever said outside US crime novels of the 1960s, so, eh.)

my orange cat does that same thing fairly frequently. he also usually accompanies me into the bathroom in the morning and sits on the bathmat while i shower

Do all of y’all just go to the bathroom with the door open? Or perhaps you have cats with opposable thumbs?
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Wednesday, 11 September 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link
if I'm in the apartment alone yes (and if I'm just showering or whatever also yes). the door in my bathroom now is a sliding door (space saving measure because my apartment is tiny) which he can open, but when i had a normal door i would tend to let him in anyway before going to the bathroom because otherwise he would scratch at the door
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 11 September 2019 18:59 (four years ago) link
yes (if i'm home alone), and it is related to a cat. my cat has a big issue with closed doors of any kind. he cannot resist clawing and scratching at them. this is unnerving when using the bathroom by myself, so i usually crack the door so that my eye can maintain weird eye contact with me.
(when someone else is home, he usually doesn't freak out about the doors. he's a weird cat.)

My cat rushes in if he's given more than a split second. If he gets stuck outside he'll sit there and meow very loudly.

haircuts in general make me IE - having to tell the barber what I want, giving my opinion on it once it's finished. once a month for the past 35 years and i still don't really know what to say. i don't even like having it done in places where I'm visible from the street; in the office is almost too much to bear.

omg it's only turkish hairdressers round here, i've been to two different ones and despite only wanting a #3 all over and saying 'make it quick i'm on my lunch break' i've been subjected to the full hot towel treatment, head massage, multiple products needlessly rubbed into my barely there anymore hair; once i mistakenly asked for a shave too and for some reason this meant i also got to have my face covered in clay before being swaddled and then ignored for five minutes. absolutely mortifying, never again.
