that awkward moment afterwork when you, your store manager, and another coworker sit in a little circle folding t-shirts start talking about mermaiding as a hobby and if it can be classified as cosplay (regardless, they still think it's pretty amazing, also pretty lax.) when suddenly said store manager goes "did you know dugongs were mistaken for mermaids because they have the exact same genitals as humans? so a dugongs vagina literally looked like a woman's vagina."
that awkward moment when you move onto the next subject of wild neighbours, and said manager talks about his neighbour back in hicktown who literally humped his dog.
Shocked me so much that i went "wait people fuck DOGS?" and he goes "i love how you didnt react to the dugong fucking but then react massively to dog fucking" and the other coworker feeling left out says "dont they fuck sheep and cows on farms?"
lol... oh god...
That awkward moment when your mother walks into the garage and wonders why you are sitting silently in a chair staring at a sheet of cardboard with a monofin drawn on it and you have to explain that you are deciding how big you want your fluke to be.
A: re: dugongs - no, they don't.Quote:

TAMW one is tracing out her fish pants paper pattern and realises, "Is my butt really that big?!?!"
TAMW one of your bosses (a woman) asks you about the picture you have in your Whats App profile (it's the same pic I have in my profile here) and you tell her about your mermaiding habits and your tail. She then tells you how fun it must be, and how her daughter would love to do that. You suggest her she shows her daughter the picture and she tells you "Definitely not, because then she would want one of those tails for herself!".
And she starts calling you Ariel every time she sees you.
TAMW you wear stupid shoes to work for a themed event, after two days in them on a concrete floor you feel like knives are shooting up your legs with every step, you ask your boss if you can sit down for a bit because you feel like knives are shooting up your legs with every step, and your literature geek boss says, "I guess it's time to turn back into a mermaid, Ariel, that prince just isn't working out."
TAMW you reply, "That's a great idea, I'll put my pajama tail on when I get home," and your boss, who doesn't know about your mermaid or costume habits, thinks you're joking until your other boss, a theater geek who knows you cosplay, asks for the URL of the store you got it from because it sounds ridiculously comfortable to him.
Since my name is Ariel, I get a lot of Little Mermaid jokes at work. I also have the world's comfiest tail, it was made by OhMyShells on Etsy, but sadly they seem to have abandoned their store. It hasn't been closed or taken down, but it hasn't had any active listings in months.
Ah yes; I have often mentally drawn a Little Mermaid reference to my own stilettes (they are called "stiletto heels" after all (and I assume that on these boards I needn't point out that in Hans Christian Anderson (Hans Kristoff AnnaSven, thank you Frozen)'s original work part of the deal with the devil was that walking on her legs would cause the titular mermaid to feel as though she were walking on knives...and of course the prince enjoyed watching her dance....)).
Also, congratulations on such a Providentially-appropriate mermaid name (I should talk; my first name is Tiamat....) :mermaid kiss:

Ahh man that happened to some bathing suit shorts I had. Another thing I had happen is my favorite top's straps got all brittle and it isn't even an old top.
I haven't really had any awkward moments to share. Surprisingly nothing really seems to happen that is awkward but I figure it is just a matter of time.
TAMW.. More like scary moment. When you're at the beach and kids show an interest and this one little girl keeps hanging around. You ask where her parents are and she runs off to find them. (We kept her in eyesight) She runs back and tells you she can't find them and their car is gone.
This little girl is FOUR YEARS OLD. After about 15 minutes of searching and me about to call the police, they come walking back up from the parking lot and are all "oh haha we went to get sodas!"
I fought with all I had not to lay into some people.
Oh my stars, Kaila, what the hell were those people thinking? :mad:
Obviously nothing! I shouldn't have let her go with them until I spoke to them or for law enforcement involved. They appeared to be intoxicated
Words cannot convey how this enrages me. :gah:Quote:
