The Uncomfortable Stare

Why when a mishap happens in public people stop and stare? Its as if time freezes for those few uncomfortable minutes when you realize OOPS I spilled the coke and everyone stops what they are doing, stares over in your direction for a few minutes that seems like forever.

Yesterday time frooze for me. Maria and I were at Crate and Barrel selecting items for our wedding registry. We were looking at different glassware. I picked one up and grabbed it too hard (I guess I don't know my own strength LOL) and BOOM, it exploded in my hands!

Instantly everyone in the store stopped what they were doing, turned to my direction and starred at me. Time stopped. Next time I'm going to yell out "ALRIGHT PEOPLE. MOVE ON, SHOW IS OVER!"
