Awkward

There are many awkward moments in my life... when some speaks to you and you have no idea what they're saying and you try to get away without being offensive (that happens like three times every day).  But, today was the worst.  I went to a branch of a Japanese grocery store (mostly so that I could get some good lettuce).  I was there right when it opened and there was a line of ten staff bowing and greeting me as I passed through--Yikes!  I think I'll go 15 minutes later next time!
