I thought she was going to say she felt ashamed of something else

I was at 777 posts and I hated to add this one.

Friday I cut my finger on butter. Well, the packaging, the flimsy cardboard box. It was more entertaining to think of it the other way. In fact it was worth the discomfort.

Shopper in line at the thrift store, about a different person's purchase: Those don't work.
Thrift store cashier: What don't?
Shopper: Those vacuums. That plug into a car cigarette lighter. I bought one once at your other store. They don't work. Not enough suction.
Me: What did you do with it? Did you give it back to the thrift store?
Shopper: Yes.
Me: Maybe that's yours.
Shopper: No; mine was in a different box.
(silence except for me laughing)
Shopper: I feel ashamed. ..... That I bought it in the first place.


I hit Dexter the cat in the chin accidentally in the dark but he forgave me after going about 8 feet away from me.
