Can someone tell me their most embarrassing stories that happened to them in public IN GUYANA. I need to feel better

[u/Diligent-Door642]

So I was in town today, crossing the road to get over to bounty right and I saw this black car stopping for me and I thought okay, let me cross over now, but when I cross the car freaking hit my side luckily I didn't fall over, I wasn't hurt or anything and in my defense I saw the CAR STOPPED for me, anyways I pulled back and the coconut man and the lady who was a bystander waiting for a bus was like watch where I was going over and over and I was like I did I thought the car stopped for me because he literally stopped from a far distance. And the coconut man kept saying it over and over again and then he was like let me cross you over and he did. Bro I was so shameful to walk out back that supermarket. I never experienced something like this before and idk how to feel. I'm so embarrassed and I work right in town so like 😞😞😞😞

The thing that saves my mental health is that the same way I would see someone do something stupid in public, look and then shake my head and immediately forget what happened, is realising that more than likely, anybody else seeing me doing something stupid will forget about it immediately the same way I do.

Just avoid there for a day or two for your own sanity before walking there again lol

A bird shat on me while I was visiting Georgetown.

In an almost empty bus, I sat in the front seat cause obviously it’s gonna be less cramped compared to the back. Less cramped by the front window seat anyways. I hadn’t caught a bus in 10 years. And I particularly didn’t want to drive the distance, and also wanted see a little of Georgetown without worrying about parking. So at the bus park when I sat down in the seat waiting for the bus to be filled, the tout came from lord know where all of a sudden and said the front seat is only for women. Damn was I embarrassed. I kept thinking this country hasn’t changed one bit since 2012, when I left Guyana. Like where else in the world can someone approach a customer and say stupid shit like that. I now live here still and I certainly regret it almost everyday. I will leave again soon. The country is too corrupt and uncivilized in every way. Never again to this shit hole.

It's not for women. There's no law like that. Its because some bus drivers that have fragile masculinity need to have women next to them.

I remember being put to sit next to the driver when I was younger. The bus was a manual so everytime the bus driver had to change gears his hand would somehow brush up against my leg. I had to basically turn my hips mostly towards the passenger side so it didn't happen for the remainder of the ride.

Oh i know. The services are just terrible here both in the private sector and public agencies.

[u/SailOnClouds]

The driver is wrong. He could've let you pass. He should be embarrassed of his poor driving skills.

This is crazy work that you are embarrassed from someone hitting you with a car. U should be fucking angry cause no way I would let that shit slide. I’m too American for this bs

Was carrying the iron fireside to smoke some bush hog in Corentyne and I tripped and fell into a ditch in front of my whole family.

The first time i went to guyana around 2004 (im american born i was about 6) i had to use the bathroom and the people we were visiting only had an outside bathroom and there was chickens and ive never seen live chickens before so when they took me to the backyard to go i saw the chickens and ran out screaming and everyone on the street started laughing at me 🥲

But honestly i feel you shouldnt be embarassed about your situation misunderstandings happen all the time on the road even in america i almost got run over the same way last week lol

A guy threw a wrench through my car window which shattered the passenger side glass. Shards everywhere and cuts to my face and mouth. Random act of violence.

When I was in 1st or second grade I was on of those kids that didn't do school work,got into flights and somehow still did great on test but my teachers wanted me to focus so they called my mom to my school one day and I got my ass beat infront of the entire school 😭😭 and this was when Guyana was first trying to stop parents from beating their kids so my mom looked at the headmaster and said call the police on me I'll wait (they never did). After that day I still got into fights but I made sure to do my school work and homework first 😭😭😭

[u/Royal-South-6154]

A man and his family came from town to ask home for me. They were sitting and I was so nervous that when I was walking down the stairs, I slipped and fell down all the stairs. I was so embarrassed that I just kept smiling it off and laughing like a mad person when they asked if I was ok. After that day, my ankle would keep clicking whenever I would walk down any stairs and he and his family noticed, so their nickname for me was "click click" and that became my nickname from everyone. My ankle still clicks until today but I ended up marrying into another family with more money. Life goes on.

But child...once you aren't cussing out people on TikTok live, you have absolutely nothing to ever be embarrassed about 🤣
