I was asked by a very kind person who doesn’t really know me that well if “everything is okay at home?” I was confused....then I realized that, while asking, they were looking at the underside of my exposed forearm, which had a really nasty bruise exposed.

I looked down and laughed, shocking them (from their expression). Then I had to thank them profusely for their concern, explain that I’m single at the moment and then tell them my bruise was a result of dumbass me, sitting in the drive-thru at Del Taco bored, waiting FOREVER for my crinkle cut fries and burrito.

To pass the time, I was messing with my hair and got a long strand caught and decided to drop the single hair out of my window. I proceeded to push the button to roll the window down, stuck my arm out, not realizing that I’d done something else to the button, causing the window to come back up really fast and close on my arm. I couldn’t stop it fast enough! Getting your arm stuck in a car window really hurts!!

The result? A HUGE bruise on my arm that looks like someone grabbed me and held on hard!

That poor person didn’t know how to react! I think I put them at ease though, they were laughing at me by the end of my explanation! They were so sweet and nice... I was embarrassed.

The burrito and crinkle cut fries were SO worth my shame though!!!

It was so kind of them to ask and it took a lot of guts, I hope they continue to ask if they see things amiss and that I haven’t put them off with my gluttonous, yet bruising Del Taco adventure.
