Well I wasn't going to post because I feel pretty dumb, so here it goes:
I'm at the mall right after x-mas so it's really crowded and the fitting room line is about 20 people. I find a cute sweater and decide to try it on over my shirt in the middle of the store where there's a mirror. It didn't fit right so I took it off but it got snagged on one of my brackets! I had no idea what to do but my best guy friend realized what happened really fast and got it out for me quickly. I'm not sure if anyone around us noticed. It could have been so much worse if the sweater wouldn't come out so I consider myself lucky. Of course Brandon (ex-bf, current best friend) will never let me live that down!
Well, I have the usual stuff in the brackets, but thought this one a bit different. I was standing at the full length mirror (behind the entrance door) to the break room, picking food out of my teeth. I hear the door open, so I step towards the mirror to keep from getting hit by the door. But no, the door is pushed open fully, only to hit me square in the spine with the door knob. I said "ouch" and then saw my manager's head look around the door as I was trying to slide out.
I won't be trying to fit behind the door anymore. If I hear it opening again, you can believe I am going to put my foot out to stop it before it hits me.
