Awkward Situations

What makes for a socially awkward situation? Seems like I've been in the middle of the storm lately because today at the post office, I just witnessed another awkward moment from my perspective anyways. I was in line waiting to buy stamps when the woman before me had many questions about getting a passport. Apparently her husband took the day off to go get their passports done and he didn't like waiting and possibly being asked to leave because it was almost time for the passport office to close. They were pretty loud. It was pretty hard to try not to hear what they were saying since the rest of the post office was quiet. The post lady suggested that they go on the United States Postal Service website and look for locations that takes appointments. I'm actually trying to renew my passport and get passports for my husband and daughter so I've done my share of research. I'm a "helper" so naturally I want to give them useful information that I know to be correct. It's just hard for me to not say anything since it's not my business.

Later when I arrived to my pole dance class at Hidden Talents Fitness studio in Huntington Beach which offer a variety of classes such as Hip Hop, Chickboxing, Salsa and etc, there was a mother with her 2 daughters in the lobby. Her oldest daughter wanted to take a Go Go dance class since she was recently hired in LBC and I guess the mother had a 93488747328943288347 questions to ask my instructor for the last hour and a half before I got there. Poor Caitlin! Oh and of course I walk in with my pair of "stripper" heels and sat down on the couch next to her. I should have seen that one coming. LOL She asked Caitlin what the next class was. Caitlin answered a pole class and then I felt the mother's eyes look over at me. Then the words fell from her lips.. "Why do you take this class" as she already has a gazillion possible reasons why in her mind already. I told her because I enjoy it and it's a great workout. She then proceeded to point at my heels and said, "And you wear that?" "Yes.." I replied. Caitlin chimes in "It makes it easier to do the tricks we learn in class, don't you agree?" "Definitely." I answered. As with most misconceptions about pole dancing and the footwear that goes along with it, most people think that the heels are super heavy because the platform is huge and the heel is higher than most "normal " heels are, but it's actually very light. I think I can walk in my "stripper" heels a lot better than I do with regular heels. And no, I don't take this pole class because I want to be a stripper. It's purely for recreational/exercise purposes. You learn to do tricks with the pole and with all honesty, the tricks themselves doesn't make the stripper looks sexy, it's the floor work that she does along with it that enhances it. However, if you're only doing tricks like in the class, it's merely a fun way to work out in my eyes. Plus it's a great confidence booster!! Women of all shapes and sizes attend the class. I am definitely not the most flexible person nor graceful, but I can still do it. It's like taking an aerial tissu class, it's a variation of the art of dance. I hope to take it one day when I'm a bit more flexible. Anyways, back from that tangent, help me out here; is God testing me? Does he want me to intervene in some way? When is it okay to "butt" in and when is it not?? Any suggestions?
