That Awkward Moment When...

Chaos went on shopping adventure this week.  Inside one high-end store, a new employee was in training.  When Chaos got to the front of the dressing room line, holding her items to try on, the new employee put his hand out and introduced himself.  Naturally, Chaos put her hand out too and went in for the shake before realizing he was putting his hand out to take the clothing from her, not to shake her hand.  It was too late, she was already committed.  She put her hand in his and shook it and introduced herself back.  He then took her clothes and her to a changing room.  Once she was inside she heard the employees all cracking up hysterically outside the changing room.  Maybe they could have waited until she left since they were right outside her room and the doors are open above and below...as if she could not hear them.  In her mind, "Hello! I can hear under the doors!"  She hastily tried on her items, non of which worked, and got out of there as fast as she could.  Maybe, had the staff not been laughing at the miscommunication of introduction and product transfer, she might have liked something she tried on.  Alas, the world will never know.

That awkward moment when you shake your dressing room attendants hand and introduce yourself back to them, when they are reaching for your clothes, not your hand.
