I said it without really thinking, and he looked so confused, like he wanted to laugh, but couldn't work out if it was appropriate. And then the whole situation hit me, I'm walking around with a leaking bottle, while I'm leaking too, and I started laughing. Which made me feel better, and him too I think.
I think as well, the fact that we were laughing about it made the whole situation less awkward. And it calmed me down enough to explain that I was having a bad day.

Here's a question for everyone @Former-Member @Crazy_Bug_Lady @PeppiPatty and @DanielTobias:
When did you last laugh at yourself during a tough time? Can you tell us about it? I know that @Crazy_Bug_Lady just told us about her recent experience perhaps she give another?

@PeppiPatty What would you say if nobody was censoring you?

@Former-Member I can totally relate. Deferring is great way to get the spotight off you. Hmmm, I wonder if @DanielTobias to take the focus away from you?

I personally can't even think of anything funny in situations like this.....!! that's gem what she said!!!
Oh, once I was working at a place who would not let me have any time off work. Though my son Was really really ill and in emergency almost three times per week..........I went to work and joked around with the clients and a client came up to me when I was having a coffee down the street and told me I'm really funny and cool but can't remember what I said and just looked at him and his,wife if they had a lobotomy before they went into that place I was working in...

If somebody is being complimentary and I feel awkward, I will say something self-depricating.
It's a very Australian thing to do.

Does that make people feel awkward @DanielTobias ?
