The story

After I had finished making dinner, I left some dirty dishes in the sink to wash them after I was done eating dinner. While I was having dinner, one of my roomate's girlfriend entered the kitchen saw the dishes and washed them herself. When I saw the clean dishes, I felt kinda embarressed because I felt like she was lowkey forced to wash the dishes because I had left them there, making me look like a dirty lazy pig.

In order to show her my gratitude, I wanted to give my roomate (who had shared with me some snacks a few times) and her some grapes, becaue that was honestly the best I could give them. She was showering while I was preparing the grapes and putting them in the cutest cups I could find, and, when she came out the bathroom, I stopped her in the middle of the hallway. The problem is that she was not wearing her PJs like I thougt she would. Instead, she had a towel wrapped around her. So, the situation turned a bit awkward and, as a stupid being I am, I just stood there awkwardly and offered her the grapes. She told me (as politely as she could) that she didn't want them, but maybe her boyfriend did and then she started walking to their bedroom. I thought that she was going to ask her boyfriend if he wanted the grapes, so I followed her to the room, but she just closed the door once she reached there, making me look like a creep that had just followed her to the room while she was practically naked :)

Even though it was something really random and stupid, it made me feel very bad, but as the self-gaslighter I am, I told myslef to pretend that nothing happened. So, I just went back to the kitchen and kept the grapes, and then I went to the bathroom to wash my teeth. As I was washing my teeth, I heard their door opening, and after a few seconds of giving myself a pep talk I exited the bathroom because I thought that my roomate actually wanted the grapes like his girlfriend had told me, but there was no one there, leaving me quite confused. I also had to pee, so I entered the bathroom again. When I was done, another roomate told me that the other guy wanted to enter the bathroom, but since I was inside he turned around, but then I opened the door (cause I thought he wanted grapes), making him think I was done, so he directed himself to the bathroom again. However, I entered the bathroom again (cause I had to pee), pissing him off.

So, basically I had embarrassed twice in less than five minutes, when the only thing I wanted was to give those people grapes!!!! After thinking for a while, I think I'll be avoiding them for a while for my own sake lol.

wow, what a wild ride 😂 honestly, I get it... things can get awkward so fast... totally relate!!! Feels like whenever I try to do something nice, it just backfires; I've been there, trust me........

Maybe just chill and let things be next time?? Most of the time, people appreciate the thought more than the act...... it's all good though, we've all been in those awkward scenarios..... don't sweat it too much 😉

it's like the classic "good intentions, awkward execution" scenario. when you work in hospitality, they always say, "presentation is everything," but man, sometimes it just doesn't land;; at least you tried, right?? 😅 that's what it's about........ sure, it took a left turn with the whole towel thing but you know, who hasn't been there??? maybe next time, just wait for the "all clear" signal before approaching... for what it’s worth, doesn't sound like a huge deal honestly ;-)

Dishes pile up sometimes, it happens... maybe it's just me but following someone in a towel wasn't the smoothest move... no? 🤫


Yeah sure you meant well ;-) but it kinda got awkward 😅 maybe just ask next time and save some grapes for yourself! Anyway seems like a small issue, no need to stress too much!

Very quickly, you will no longer see the embarrassment and you will laugh about all this! ;-)
