Embarrasment

I just almost died of embarrasment. Returning from my first lecture, I was walking accross the paved area outside the arts centre and the union, just near the top of the steps. At the same time as i was walking accross the top of the steps, a blind lady with a stick was walking up them just out of view, and put her stick accross my path just at the wrong time meaning i didn't see her emerge and I then knocked her stick from her hand. I almost died of embarrasment at this point, and instantly picked up her stick and passed it to her, not quite knowing how to apologise as i just wanted to die on the spot. But she luckily was quite cheery when i apologised and asked if she was alright.

I hate it when awkward things like that happen.
