I was at Starbucks not too long ago. There was a very long line and at the end of the line, but a little to the side, there stood a guy, with very long beard (down to midchest), dressed in jeans overalls and just generally looking scruffy and a bit weird. I walked past him and stepped in line. Then, when I turned back, and realized he was now in line behind me, I apologized and let him in front of me, saying I didn't know he was also waiting.
He said: "Don't worry about it, it happens to me all the time."
I felt absolutely terrible ! It made me feel like I was the most horrible person in the world.

Yes--way back when I first learned to drive, I was going down the road one day and this little squirrel ran out in front of me. I tried to miss him, but I couldn't. I felt the thump-thump when I hit him, and I instinctively looked in the rear view mirror only to see him wildly flailing about as if her were in terrible pain. I was devastated! That was over 20 years ago, and I still remember it.

i've got self assurance that I truly have executed that in simple terms as quickly as, and that i nonetheless experience undesirable approximately it. i became status contained in the automobile park of a backyard centre, this is next to an exceptionally long highway. The highway has very few petrol stations. a youthful guy drove in and asked me the place the closest filling station became, and he became particularly stressful by way of fact he became very almost out of gas. I gave him guidelines to a filling station that wasn't very some distance away, and rancid he went. i found out later that the filling station have been demolished, yet i did no longer recognize that, so I by risk despatched him on a wild goose chase. i wish that he controlled to get some gas.

Yes, I forwarded an email the other day to some of my customers that I forward to regularly. This one was a joke with sexual content, but nothing racy or extreme, and one I thought was a bit humorous. One customer emailed me back with - Oh my God!!! Take me off your mailing list!
I certainly did not expect to offend her, but I felt like I had gone and flashed her or something. Of course I sent an apology , and removed her from the list. I'm sure I will hear about it again.

I was on the beach in Santa Cruz and a friend from work came by. I asked how he was doing. I was concerned because his little brother had died in a water skiing accident the month before. He said okay but I lost my brother. I said I had heard and I was so sorry. He said I'm looking for my older brother Mike he's around here somewhere. I felt HORRIBLE

Oh no :-( Poor guy...
Once I was running late for work so I got up and ran out of the house, my boyfriend was trying to talk to me but I was in a hurry so I was just like "okay later I got to go!!!" (btw he doesn't live with me, he was just visiting for a week) and at lunch break I came home and he had this bunch of people over and that's when it hit me-- his birthday! The reason he came for the week! And I completely blew him off that morning when he was probably expecting a happy birthday from me...I felt horrible! :-(

Awe I feel you, it is probably because we are sensitive-- or at least I am and I am guessing you probably are too.. Most people wouldn't think anything twice of the situation.. I probably would have felt so bad I would have offered to buy his drink. Poor guy, it's not your fault though.. Don't beat yourself up about it..

You may have been at that point! Did you feel better tho after letting him in front of you? Were there others in behind him that you have now crowded in front of ?

It's a part of life...and you can make yourself feel better by doing something nice for someone else.
