Bathtub mermaids unite!

That awkward moment when you realize that it's become a common occurrence at work for customers to look at your name tag (mine says "Ariel") and ask if you're a mermaid.
That awkward moment when you realize that you always respond with "Only on my days off."
That awkward moment when you realize that an adult customer has taken what you said very, very seriously and asks how you turn into a human to go to work.
That awkward moment when you realize that a grown woman, a regular customer at your place of work, seriously, truly believes with all her heart that you're an actual, came-from-the-ocean, biological mermaid that turns into a human to work in a supermarket as a checker.
That awkward moment when you wonder if you'd do well in an acting career, or if perhaps this customer is the epitome of gullibility.
Wow.
I really hope she was just pulling my fin.
Sounds like she has mental issues or is messing with you *very* well. :)
awkward moment when your monofin sticks out from backpack (back when i had a really small monofin)
awkward moment when you drop said backback on the way to your seat on the airplane
awkward moment when a dude asked if you have a fish in your backpack
Indeed, perhaps *she* is the one who should go into acting. ^_^Quote:

Awkward moment when family is over for the holidays, and we're talking about the adolescent boy whose mom was embarrassed that he wanted to be a unicorn next Halloween. He was dressed as the MOST AMAZING octopus, and my family were talking about how unfair it is that it's assumed men can't be fantasy creatures, and that's when I said, "I know, it's like all the mermen I know online, they get so much crap from people."
Cue the awkward silence and me explaining about the mer community. I seriously thought my family knew this already. lol
deepblue, now I'm reading your blog "The Dark Sea" and glad I am! :mermaid kiss:
That awkward moment when we realize that we've been discussing bathtub mermaids being interrupted for three posts and noone has yet mentioned the scene in Splash!
which defined it!

ACTUALY... My dad walked in because I was being completely silent and he was like "have you seen the movie splash?"Quote:

That moment when your SO comes into the bathroom looking for the computer and you're in the tub with your tail on and the computer is on the toilet lid with a mermaid video playing.

That moment when you meant to send a snapchat to your friend of you in your tail but it goes on your story and everyone sees it

TAMW one is walking around the Chinese shopping mall on a very hot day, and exclaim loudly to her Mum, "I don't belong here! I need water!!"
TAMW when all the Chinese aunties, grandmas, granddads... EVERYONE turn around and look at you funny.
I wouldn't change into human form for anything less than manager.Quote:

I would have punched her right in the mouth except I was too busy picking my jaw up off the floor. Pardon me, but isn't this 2014?
awkward moment when you look back at all those youtube mermaid tail videos and feel old
ok so im just a teenager and a few years ago when i watch those videos of 10 11 12 year olds swiming in thier first tails and making cheesy mermaid stories. i would be the same age as them. but now i look back at them and i feel so old. and i relies how bad the acting is in these videos.
like whoa O.O
EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE. I LOVE THE EXTREMELY FAKE WINKS AND HOW SHE SPAZZES OUT WITH THE CANDY FALLING OUT OF HER HANDS AS SHE IS BEING PUNISHED. IF I WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A REAL MERMAID THIS IS HOW I WANNA GO

Admittedly the idea of lexan has a bit of a "Shop" as opposed to "Home Economics" vibe to it, but with my feminist background I just need to add that women weren't exactly useless before 1963 (the official beginning of Women's Lib/2nd-Wave Feminism), and that fashion wasn't something dreamt up by men to restrain (except in such cases as Paul Poiret's hobble skirt) or torment women. Even unusual devices such as the crinoline/hoop skirt were invented by women (who at first received the same kind of ridicule that we mers must at times undergo), so if this woman you encountered had known anything about women's issues she wouldn't have suggested what she did even if it were 1814!Quote:

TAMW one launches herself off the side of the pool and hears very loudly behind her...
Little girl: EXCUSE ME!
Because I was swimming away to dive under and into the next lane, the girl had to catch up to talk...
Me: Yes?
Girl: Why... do... you... swim... in... a mermaid tail *glub* *glub* *glub*
I so wanted to laugh but I just replied, "Its good exercise"
TAMW one is heard to be going, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" as she lowers herself into the water!
TAMW one's tail sinks to the bottom of the deep end...
TAMW one has to make several fail attempts in legs to fish it out without looking so obvious!
Luckily, it sank by the heels so I was able to grab the fluke tip.
