TIFU by sneezing mid squat at the gym

So yesterday I went to the gym feeling proud of myself for finally sticking to my routine. I loaded up the squat rack, got in position, and literally right as I went down. Boom. A huge sneeze. The bar shifted, I lost balance and let out the loudest, ugliest noise not trying to drop the weight. Everyone in a 10 foot radius turned and look at me and i’m 98% sure the guy curling nearby though I farted.

I managed to rack the bar back but in my panic I sneezed again and hit myself in the chin with the bar. The sound it made was loud enough that people actually stopped what they were doing and looked over again. I panicked, tried to play it off and ended up stumbling sideways.

I left the bar, wiped my face and walked straight to the treadmill like that was my plan from the start.

TL;DR: Sneezed mid squat, smacked my face on the bar, flailed around like an idiot, then shame walked to the treadmill.
