Speak to them tomorrow and explain you were going to coach to get help and that you reflected tonight and though about how it may have looked like you were leaving them, but that it wasn’t your intention.

Take my upvote! Brilliant!

Sounds like a nightmare

Uhhh? Your only fuck up is ignoring someone talking to you in a friendly way. Next time just ask them to repeat themselves and don't run off.

Nothing like a good hard puke.

They asked you something casually later because they weren’t upset at you at all. Because you didn’t do anything wrong. The kid was puking. Unless blood was coming out, what would the issue be?

I had a boss who was neurotic about headphones when I was a welder too. Actually preferred staff use speakers... so the entire shop was a cacophony of different music.

I live in a new construction development that's still being built. They've definitely always got music on at all the in-progress houses. The flooring guys have especially good taste, and one of them can sing super well! You can hear him installing carpet and belting out 90s ballads from a block away.

For a non native English speaker, this whole pronouns shenanigans is messing with my head.

Same…emetophobia is a bitch

Yeah, less “TIFU” and more “today something slightly embarrassing yet amusing happened”

Well you handled it better than I would've, that is running away shrieking at the top of my lungs before having a massive panic attack

I use mine a LOT. Almost constantly, really.

I think there's a design flaw, as they all break the same way at the same spot, and combining that with my rough treatment may be too much for them. They may work great for people who don't wear them nearly 24/7.

Literally a /r/AnarchyChess joke being reported as if it's news ffs

Just tell them what you said here, that you feel bad for leaving but wasn't sure what to do at that time, and hope they are okay now.

What were you supposed to do differently in hindsight?

"some chess story"

this is like the most insane drama weve had in years

That look would have been the "leave now" look, you did nothing wrong.

Was probably way more embarrassing for them than you . Besides, a puke on a run is common. They’re just not in shape.

Nah. They probably were in no condition to speak back to you. Also, if they are like me, they prefer to not have people around when they puke. What could you have done, hold their hair? Dont beat yourself up over this.

I did something similar too(but it was a friend with an asthma attack) and they reacted pretty much the same way your friend. So don’t beat yourself up, they probably didn’t mind it, especially because you offered help and showed you cared instead of just walking away. Maybe to not have that kinda guilt feeling, you could ask them if it happens again, what you could do to help beforehand. As someone who went through something similar I hope this helps :)
