Pardon me

 Today was one of those days when there seems like there's so much to do and not enough time in the day to do them.  I had worked all morning filming lectures at the uni and had to quickly race home to grab my t-shirt and gumboots to work the afternoon at DogWatch which meant eating my lunch on the run whilst driving from one to the other.
Picture this..I'm driving along listening to the radio, beautiful sunny day so I've got my window down, singing along to Pink 'Blow me one last kiss'.  I'm stopped at a red light so took that opportunity to scoff down a banana.  Now lets be honest no one can eat a banana without looking a wee bit dodgy so combining my starvation and singing at the same time I downed that naana pretty bloody impressively.  Because of this quick consumption I ended it with a surprisingly massive burp.  A burp that any beer drinking man would've been proud of.  The sort of burp that even I thought "Holy Shit that was a big one" I then heard a snort and looked over to find a smiling man staring at me from the inside of his car which was stopped beside me also parked at the lights, he said "Good Effort Shelley!" Damn you personalised plates.  So fucken devasted!  The lights couldn't change fast enough!
I don't know if I was more embarressed at the burp, my singing or the fact that someone saw me inhale a banana like some housewife on a porno? I know it will be one of those moments that I will keep reliving everytime I close my eyes over and over in my head like some mental nightmare.
To that man I apologise that the universe decided to time our days to meet in that particular moment, I'm sure it was a great story to take back to work with you *sigh
