Things That Embarrass Me

I decided to post on this because today in Study Hall, I was talking to two of my friends about something random that embarrassed me. Now, I don’t get embarrassed easily AT ALL. I am really klutzy and all of my tripping and crashing and my loud voice and my weird comments don’t embarrass me at all. Maybe embarrass isn’t the right word. It’s just some things that when I see them, I cringe. Yeah, embarrass is a good word. I get kind of embarrassed when I’m like around the person doing that thing…I can’t explain. Now I’m just rambling and making no sense at all.

• Water Bottles - This is the one I was talking about today. So when I’m almost done drinking the entire water bottle/Snapple can/soda can/whatever and there’s a TEENY bit left at the bottom, like one sip’s worth, I hate when people like tip their head all the way back and drink the last of it. I have no idea why; the whole head-tipping-way-far-back-slightly-looking-drunk thing just bothers me. It’s not even tipping the water bottle, it’s the head. And cans are the absolute worst. I barely drink drinks from cans for that reason. I’d rather just pour it into a cup. Or when I’m down to the last sip, I feel like I have to drink the rest in private where no one can see me.
• Fake Nails - I’ve already talked about how I don’t wear fingernail polish. Especially when people wear black nail polish, I hate it. But the absolute worst is those airbrushed or air tip nail things. No matter how real they look (not very real because I can always tell) or even if they’re not all long and sparkly and stuff, I still cringe when I see them. It’s just something that embarrasses me.
• Certain Words - I don’t know what they are off the top of my head, but there are just some words that I don’t like to say. They’re not curse words or those like birds-and-bees words or whatever; just normal words that everyone says but that make me die a little inside every time I hear them. I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but I’m going to start a list every time I hear one.

So, yup, I’m really weird like that and have normal things that everyone else thinks is fine that embarrass me and make me cringe. Are there things that are normal to other people, but “embarrass” you? (No? Yeah, it’s probably just me.)
