That awkward (yet heartwarming) moment the whole Internet shares their most embarrassing anecdotes with you.
Everyone has had a moment in their life when they've truly humiliated themselves in public. Whether we've said something inappropriate in front of grandma or just had a total brain freeze in front of your boss, we're all pretty prone to bouts of embarrassment.
The New York Times best-selling author of Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things, Jenny Lawson, also known as The Bloggess on Twitter, is no different. She shared her recent embarrassing moment on social media on Nov. 1.
Airport cashier: "Have a safe flight." Me: "You too!" I CAN NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.— TheBloggess (@TheBloggess) November 1, 2015
The Internet definitely felt her pain, and started tweeting back with their own tales of self-inflicted shame.
If you ever feel alone in this world, just ask the Internet to share its worst moments with you. Trust us. You'll feel better.
