We’ve all had our fair share of embarrassing moments.
Tripping in front of the public, startling someone who we thought was our friend, mistaking a stranger for someone, singing out loud with your headphones on – the possibilities of embarrassment are just endless.
But these moments, no matter how much we want them to just disappear, make for great stories later on. And for this son, the moment became a viral video instead.
Spending time with mom
Robb Hartlen was out with his mother to do some shopping.
As per the unwritten laws of mother-son relationships, Hartlen was in charge of driving. What his mother also failed to realize was he was also in charge of the camera.
Hartlen’s video starts with him laughing hysterically. We can’t discern what he was laughing about at first until he found a momentary respite from the cackling.
“So mom has got into the wrong car.”
Hartlen can be heard saying this in the video.
And instead of calling out to his mom and telling her that it was the wrong vehicle, Hartlen did what any loving son would – he pulled out his phone to record what was happening.
While he was sitting inside their vehicle, his mom went inside the car right behind them. The car must’ve been the same model considering that she went in without much confusion.
Then a man approached the vehicle.
The confused man waved at the strange woman sitting inside his car. He even knocked on the windshield to get her attention.
The conversation was inaudible, but the man’s actions were more than enough to tell exactly what was happening.
All the while, Hartlen was just watching all of this transpire in the comfort of their own car.
After a few seconds, maybe after realizing what she had done, Hartlen’s mother got out of the car.
Then comes the walk of shame.
She walked toward their car, clearly embarrassed about what she did.
“I probably should have told her as I watched her get into the car, but,” he could be heard saying in the video. But then again, where’s the fun in that?
All in good fun
And good thing his mom is such a good sport. She opened the passenger side of the car, and much to her relief, she saw her son sitting behind the wheel.
But also not so much to her relief, she realized her son was also filming the whole thing. His mom continued to laugh off the entire thing while telling her son that he was cruel.
Viewers were also on Hartlen’s side.
“I’ve watched this five times and every time, I laugh so hard I’m crying! Your laugh is so funny and contagious and your mom is pretty hilarious too! Thanks for putting it on YouTube.” Said one commenter.
Others also shared similar stories of hopping into somebody else’s car with hilarious results.
But we guess it will make his mom feel better that she wasn’t alone in this embarrassing situation.
But of all, when silly things like this happen, no matter how embarrassing, we should all learn how to take it with a sense of humor.
See what had this son so out of breath in the video below!
