The one word that sends shivers through you when you are at the checkout with a trolley full of groceries and the supermarket peak hour queue grows behind you.
The sirens may as well go off, and spotlight pin you to the floor. You imagine all eyes are looking square at you, when the young shop assistant calls for help.
You suddenly find yourself over-talking and telling the 16year old how much money you have in the bank …and that you are not REALLY broke. Then finally her supervisor apologises and says that she pushed a wrong button…
I wonder who is more embarrassed now?
