I had the most humiliating moment of my life Today I went to the bank to ask for an account statement paper, I approached the banker and was about to say "I want an account statement" but suddenly I got stuck and couldn't get the word "account" out of my mouth. This struggle lasted more than 15 seconds, the banker looked at me strangely and then put a pen and paper in front of me and asked me to write it down. I told him "Please wait, I'll say it" but he refused, aggressively saying writing would be faster. Even though I knew I would regret it later, I did what he asked because I really needed those papers. I can't tell you how humiliated I felt after I do this.
