I spilled a lot of spaghetti /r9k/. > Be at a workshop where you work on presentation skills > Workshop had these little training sessions where we did short presentations on stuff to everyone > One of the sessions was an impromptu where you talk about a given topic for 1 minute > My turn > "Convince people to vote for you as the next president of the United States" > Scattered minded and was thinking robot like about >tfw no gf > "If I were president, I would give every man a gf.", etc. > Awkward silence ensues > Random stuff comes out of my mouth because mind is going blank > Said "So yeah, vote for me" as the concluding statement in the most awkward way possible > No applause afterwards Kill me /r9k/. I'm still cringing right now.

wait really? in any of my classes, even the weirdest kid could have spouted that and people would have cracked up. It's not you, OP, it's your dumb audience.

>>6004782 >>6004869 >>6004889 To be fair, I said some random (literally nonsensical) stuff after that because the first joke did not come across well. I was panicking essentially.

>>6004935 Well then, at least you won't have to see them again after the class is over? I've definitely had to live stuff like this down. Just don't let it define you and keep in mind that no one in the room cared nearly as much as you do. I'll bet no one is even thinking about it anymore.

>>6005037 Nonsensical. I just blurted out whatever. One of those was like "I would take away wooden top tables and replace them with metal top ones." Yeah... what panicking does I suppose... *still cringing like heck*

Should have said "If you vote for me all your wildest dreams will come true" and have a friend do a kickass dancing number, OP.
