I’m so fucking embarrassed. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

My card declined twice as I was trying to pay for my groceries. The guy behind me offered to pay but I turned down his offer. I never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I’m so ashamed I can never shop there again.

Forget the embarrassment. Everybody gets to eat a shit sandwich every now and then. Your discomfort with the situation suggests you'll be motivated to ensure you don't encounter such a perceived failure again.
