Embarrassing moment for the day..!

So here is what happened.... My esteemed coworkers NL, RY, BK & LG (names are abbreviated to protect their identity in the light of events that follow) and I were out to our Friday afternoon Asian endeavor..our weekly Friday lunch. It was at a local Pho (said as fu ...Thanks for educating me by spelling it out NL).

Note to self: When you allow your coworker to order for you, ensure you always ask them what they have ordered for you. Today, it was almost "beef balls" in my case. Thankfully, I ordered egg rolls and noodles. Phew!

After lunch, I was tempted(by LG) to try the Boba. For those of you who don't know what that it, it is a funky tea and milk drink with Tapioca balls(yes, I said balls twice in this blog) and a humongous straw to suck the balls(yes, that was the third time) from the drink. A few minutes later, with my super-sized drink in hand( thanks BK, for mentioning that the cashier probably super-sized my drink after taking one look at me!!), we all walked back to the car. Here we proceeded to squish ourselves(not me though, I got the front seat due to my size...thanks NL) into NL's car.

Here is when it happened. I was trying to get my seat belt on and in the process, I propped my drink up between my legs. And one tight squeeze later, I was sitting in a pool of Boba!! It's amazing how fast denim absorbs liquid. After some frenzied laughing and mopping up the mess, I was left with a huge wet spot on my jeans....yes, you guessed it...in the ...ahem..."bleep" area. How embarrassing, right??

What ensued was even funnier. I requested the boys, amidst laughter and enough fuel to be poked fun at for a whole week, not to look at my butt. And I requested RY, my female coworker, to stare at my butt and walk behind me so no one notices !!

When I set out to lunch, I never expected quite this adventure. But there you have it...the finest moments of laughter when you least expect them.

Don't believe a word of what you hear from my coworkers. :-) They might spice it up more. But I speak the complete truth..!

As I write this blog post, my jeans continue to dry out and I will be able to stand up in the next couple hours(I think). Wish me luck fellas!
