Not really a social blunder, but a hilarious one that had a few witnesses. I was walking along the San Juan river in NM. I was coming around a gradual river bend and walked right next to a tree, and all of the sudden I hear a hiss, turn to my left, and there's a brown snake hanging from a tree right the hell next to my face. We're talking less than a foot away.
So I just flung myself backwards away from it, probably screaming, tumbled backwards down an embankment, and ended up next to the river with my gear strewn everywhere. I hear laughing, pick myself up, brush myself off, and two guys in a driftboat were right there cracking up. They got to see the whole thing.
Not my blunder this time....Many years ago...maybe I was 12 or so? We lived at a VA facility my mom worked at. It had a 9 hole golf course with ponds. One summer day I am out collecting feathers..my brother and I "tied" flies. I came around some bushes on one of the back ponds. There, blanket spread, buck naked, was an old man, going at it. All he had was a cup of yogurt and a banana with him...for a young girl it was quite the shock!! I still don't eat yogurt to this day....
My most recent blunder was a few years ago when walking back up river at Chinook Bend. A guy and a youngish blond were out on a gravel bar. He with a camera and she with an umbrella, and that is all she was "wearing".
Now this was in October and a bit chilly to say the least and everything displayed was quite "perky" if you get my meaning.
Tipped my hat and commented that it was a tad bit chilly. My last visible image was some really red and flushed cheeks.
Seriously, we've all blanked on things like this. Last time I was on Lone it was so busy by the launch that I probably crossed three lines just getting out there. It's hard to see when you're going backwards Apologize, smile, and keep moving.
You mean like telling two bait fishermen that just watched me catch a stocker in an AZ mtn stream to dont even think about it as I didnt drive 5 hrs to fish with you treble hook idiots ? Yep , did that .
