That awkward moment when you're checking all your stuff at your friend's house (Skype, email, etc) and the names all have "mermaid" in them
That ackward moment when you are being told that you aren't a real mermaid because you don't smell like fish by a five year old
That awkward moment when you finally shimmy into your tail then to realize the pool is 7 long feet away.
Not smelling like a fish is a bad thing?
My wife is constantly annoyed by how long I linger in the seafood department of the grocery store, simply smelling the air. Admittedly, I love the smell of fish, seaweed, and the sea. When I am curing live rock for my tanks in my Merman Cave, it tends to smell like low tide. I love that aroma.Quote:

That awkward moment when you're at a costume mandatory Disney/honorary Disney party...you are dressed as syrena but to keep it modest and not prance around with breasts, showing you wear a regular nude bra instead. For your whole life only your boyfriend ever sees you in a bra only. At this party you have guys there. Prince Eric, photographer, treasure island guy, Bert, and another guy lookin at your goods. Your boyfriend/mertender is also there.
The above scenario just happened to me.
The awkward moment when you try on your brand new tail and have to drag yourself to open the door for your uptight mother.
well fish don't actually have babies, or have sex for that matter ;) Female lays eggs, male fertilizes eggs, its that easy!Quote:

As a costumer in general, this happens to me ALL THE TIME. Example that really happened:Quote:

Employee: "Uh..." *blank stare*
Me: "Nevermind. I'll keep wandering."
And then when I finally found the tubes and I needed fittings and I was in the plumbing section, I had one fitting but I needed a bolt or something to attach it to the mask, but the employee kept arguing with me about how the things I was looking at weren't supposed to go with the part I was trying to fit. I ran out of ways to tell them I didn't care if it was SUPPOSED to fit, as long as it DID fit.
It's easier just to spend an hour wandering aisles sometimes.
An awkward moment when you are swimming in your tail at a lake then you hear a small boy yell at the top of his lungs an say "LOOK MOMMY A MERMAID" but when they come over an look your a guy. LOL
The awkward moment when you take your tail to the beach and someone yells "MERMAID" and you look and it's an old lady yelling....><
Ahah xD How did that turn out?Quote:

awkward moment when guy you like (doesn't know about the mermaid stuff) seas your tail in the back of your truck.... then you have to explain....
Congrats on getting the job. I hope your co-worker doesn't give you a hard time about the tail. If they do, just be confident. At least you have a hobby you enjoy.Quote:
