TIFU by zoning out and making uncomfortable eye contact

Okay, to give you a bit of context, previously in the day I had been cleaning up in the basement and hit my head on a metal pipe. I’m okay just had a headache nothing to major but it is important in the chaos that follows.

Anyways, me and my sister almost always go out to the bar on Monday nights for karaoke and free pool. It’s our girl’s night out while her wife is at work. We had run into a few friends. They played doubles while i stayed back to watch the drinks to make sure nobody was going to pull some funny business.

While doing so this cute guy was sitting at the table right next to the karaoke machine and my eyesight may have slightly…drifted towards him. I truly did not notice and zoned out for a good long while thanks to my previously mentioned headache. When i came back into focus i realized this guy and his buddies were staring back at me.

I tried to play it cool and make it look as if i wasn’t staring this poor man down and was instead looking at whoever was singing karaoke. What i hadn’t noticed was that nobody was singing…The machine decided to go on the fritz and stopped working for whoever knows how long.

So, there I was, just LOCKED into a staring contest with three men who I no longer wanted to look at all. I had no way of playing it off and I knew in my bones that they knew that too.
I could’ve died. It was as if i was cast into my own personal hell. I have anxiety! I can’t even make eye contact on purpose!!

I fear I can’t come back from this. I don’t think there IS a way to bounce back from it. I just went and Kubrick stared at this guy and his friends down for way too long. I looked like the freaking Miley Cyrus meme (y’all know the one)

Anyways, goodbye to any chance i had at trying to flirt or get to know him. It’s gone. Goodbye beloved karaoke spot, I will miss you. Oh, and free pool nights…I will miss you most of all…

TLDR: I hit my head really hard off of a metal pipe, went out for girl’s night, only to make a complete fool of myself by accidentally staring down a table of guys thanks to my headache. I’m extremely embarrassed and may never recover.
