Have you heard about this funny incident shared on Reddit? It happened on a subreddit where people share embarrassing stories from their daily lives.
So, this user, lex-iconis, posted a story about how he ended up looking like a complete crazy person at a pet store.
Lex-iconis and his partner were at a pet shop that also doubles as an adoption center for cats and dogs. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. His partner’s sister, who goes by the name Kat, volunteers for a cat fostering organization. She takes care of homeless cats and brings them to adoption centers like the one they were in.
While his partner was waiting in line to check out, lex-iconis decided to take a look at the cats up for adoption. And guess what? He recognized two of the cats on display. They looked familiar, like the ones that had passed through Kat’s hands before ending up in the store.
Excitedly, lex-iconis turned towards his partner, who was still standing in line, and exclaimed, ‘Are these Kat’s? I think these are Kat’s!’ You can imagine the scene. Other customers in the queue started staring, and his partner just looked at him with concern. It seemed like a 30-something-year-old guy who had no idea what cats looked like and was thrilled about maybe being able to identify them.
It was at that moment when lex-iconis realized the hilarious misunderstanding. He said, ‘Then I realized that, without the necessary context, it looked like I, a grown adult, wasn’t entirely sure what cats looked like, and I was excited about being able to recognize them.’ Talk about awkward!
He quickly retreated back to his partner, feeling utterly embarrassed. He even joked, ‘I returned to the line and silently wished for death.’ Can you imagine how mortified he must have been?
Even his partner didn’t understand what he was talking about at first. They wondered if lex-iconis needed to be taken to a hospital! But here’s the twist: In an update post, he revealed that the cats were indeed Kat’s cats! So, his excitement wasn’t completely unfounded.
