Whenever the story of how I met my partner comes up, I regularly laugh.
It was such an awkward and funny situation.
It all started when I needed heating and cooling repair. The morning was like any other, and the appointment was set at noon. I was absolutely having a celebration at the time. My future Heating and A/C partner arrived on time, the two of us exchanged pleasantries before he moved on to repairing the Heating and A/C device. It was nothing special or interesting, yet! Before he left, my future partner asked if he could use the lavatory, I said yes and he left for nature’s call. The lavatory was positioned close to the middle of the house, directly in view of all the people celebrationing. A few minutes passed and I figured he left by then. I had to go to the lavatory myself and so I grabbed the doorknob and swung it fully open. He was in fact, not done in the lavatory. Time slowed down and all the people became eerily silent. We locked eyes, and out of shock, I stood frozen, unable to close the door. Now my awful future partner had about 30 pairs of eyes staring at him while he was using the lavatory. I finally reclaimed and closed the door, and the air conditioner tech left very quickly afterwards. I felt so bad, especially after all the people quit laughing. A month or so later, I went on a blind date that my friend had set up, and I am sure you can think who my date was, but yes, the Heating and A/C professional who I accidentally embarrassed. We still remembered each other, and after the two of us got past the initial embarrassment, the two of us definitely hit it off and started dating. Years later, the two of us were pronounced partner and wife.
