speaking of momentarily forgetting where you are or what is un-acceptable behavior...
during my senior year in high school, most anywhere i went i was accompanied by my girlfriend. when driving i would often rest my right hand on her knee as all love sick high school kids do.
one rare day without my girlfriend, my best buddy and i were driving to a game. instinctually i reached over and put my hand on his knee. it was a full second before i realize what i was doing. i quickly moved my hand from his knee to the manual gear shift knob.
"uh,... sorry about that, i was looking for the shifter." was the best excuse i could utter.
as a homophobic teenage boy, still slightly confused by the whole sexuality thing, this was probably the 2nd worst mistake a guy could make (the worst is being the victim of a random, ill timed engorgement in the boys locker room. i still thank god daily it never happened to me).
many years have passed, we have never spoke of that moment.
