Foot in mouth disease

[treble]

today has been one of the toughest days I have had for a long time. It got me wondering. We all do it some time or other. So who else has had one of those major foot in mouth moments or other screw up that made you wish the world would just swallow you up?... here's my most recent effort...enjoy

Last night my house got hit with a bunch of eggs. It was a stormy night so I thought the 1st one was something blowing over next door. I turned my music down because I recall hearing the door close next door and thought maybe it was too loud... think bout the logic in that for a moment.....

Then later maybe 20 minutes or so, there was a loud smack followed by giggling. This one I went to investigate out side. I didnt see anything but a few moments after I can back in, I heard the door slam next door.

I didn't think no more on it until I left this morning. When I went outside and I see this egg shells. Then I see the egg smashed on the wall. An the angle says it come from next door. Then I go to my garage... its attached so only a few steps and there is egg all over the garage door. Hmm I remember back to last night and figure its from next door.

I figured someone upto mischeif or pissed about something. As I am a quiet person this had me confused, I don't make no noise or trouble. I had this thought all day as to what this meant. Did I piss them off somehow? I remember only breifly talking when they moved in but nothing since. And this is Mom and a daughter.

So here I am thinking I have a serious security problem now. I got a nutcase neighbor and they will do something like acuse me of growing pot or something because I have given them the shits some how....and the cops wil be on my door step or alternatively I got to confront this and then I will have a fued. how can this be?

So after the whole day I work it up to go next door. I do but instead of asking if they got hit I asked if they can explain why my house did. I then find out they got hit but not before I got my foot well in. Man did I feel like shit. I said I was embarased and excused myself but shit I can't live with that shit being there....

so I gotta do something now... how big do I feel? Anyway I went back in about 20 minutes or so.. and kinda said I felt like an inch high asshole and apologised and said I was sorry and how I couldn't understand how I could have pissed someone off enough to throw eggs at my house....

They seemed ok with that but if someone did that to me I think I would be struggling big time to hold my cool. I so going to have to keep my head down now.. but still the way I remember the noises it all seemed so how it happened. I am worried I am gonna get/have been played or psych'd. They are moving soon, a week or so perhaps.

So my day started out dissapointing and I turned it in to crap... all on my own. I'm so proud.

humility is a hard lesson to take I think. Feel free to regale us with your own best efforts

peace

first off, i have a foul mouth, very foul!
i have a problem dropping the "n" bomb all the time.
not in a racial way, just like calling my homies n***a and what not.
being a white dude, not all black folk appreciate that regardless with bias undertones or not.
i seem to always say it at the wrong times.
one time i dropped it when i was out and about in my local hood where i grew up.
one fella particulary felt offended, we proceeded to throw hands.
needless to say, he was quite embarrased losing to a white dude.

Shit happens . . . .

Shit happens . . . .

Everybody's done something like that, it's how you learn to think before you act.

Welcome to the club.

Yeah, we've all been there..

I do agree it was wrong to accuse the mother and daughter next door though because throwing eggs is a very childish act and most wouldn't target the house right next door.

Glad to hear everything worked out though!

Its understandable treble, you heard the doors slamming right after you hear other noises, I would have assumed that it was from the neighbors also...they will get over it, anyone would have thought the same thing. Good Luck

 

[easyskanking]

Its cool man. I think you handled the situation well. Your just trying to find out who egged your house. Its understandable. Just take it easy man/

 

[The Anchorman]

You did alright, it wasn't accusatory. You were just trying to find out what the hell was going on.

You did the right thing by going back and clearing the air with them.
