Tripping over in public. I always try and act cool by looking back at what has tripped me up as though it was the object's fault and not my own.

I do that, but also incorperate a shake of the head after looking back as well, just to emphasise my disgust at the object's audacity to try and trip me over :p

My mate - "This rank chick keeps coming onto me, i ditched her for the toilet, stand around me and hide me"

Everyone - "Well which one is it"

My mate - "That rhino over there"

Random mate - "Nah I think shes hot as"

Me - "Her face is fatter then her ass, hows that possible"

Random mate - "Probably better looking than anything you ****ed"

Me - "Nah I have a hand thats alot better looking"

Random mate - "Get ****ed ****"

Walks over, grabs his rhino girlfriend and drives off. Last time any of us saw him.
 
Kind of similar to the tripping over one but sometimes I'll step out of a shop and start walking quickly in the wrong direction.

Then when I suddenly realise that my car is the other way, I'll stop and look around with a ridiculously over-the-top thinking face, pretend to look at my phone or make a call or something equally stupid, and then turn around and start walking the right way, hoping nobody noticed.

Anything to help the cause. :thumbsu: :D

It is also quite awkward when you hear your name and turn around to respond only to then realise that there is another person with the same name that is the intended target of the call.
 
This happened to me recently. I was on my break at work walking through the city when my chewy dropped out of my mouth, people walking towards me have obviously seen this and try to contain their laughter.

Sometimes that 2-3 metre walk to pass the people coming towards you seems like an eternity.

Agree with both of those. Though the latter only really applies if it is someone you kind of know or if one of the people in question is a decent looking lady.

Another very awkward one is having to get off a bus or off a seat with a stiffy.
 
here's more of a funny situation that made me lol...

i was taking the train to work one morning at about 7, its always packed as of course.

i get in and stand there as the train takes off. a large girl probably about 20 years old is sitting in the two priority seats, dressed in a miss mauds-like attire.

after a little while, shes eating stuff and then she grabs a 1.25L bottle of pepsi...takes a swig and about 5 seconds later she throws is back up all over herself.

i completely lost my shit, i couldnt stop laughing. when i'd try and stop i'd burst out again. i felt so bad for her, she was trying to clean it up but she was just rubbing it in. i think thats what made me keep laughing, her trying to pretend like nothing happened.

all the businessmen stood silently, staring at me and her. but inside they were laughing...surely?

worst part was we still had like 3 more stops til perth station. was pretty arkward, i felt like a dick afterwards. it was still a good start to the day.

i salute you, priority seat(s) spew girl.

Well a little while ago me and a friend thought it would be a cool idea to go out to a cow pasture and practice our wrestling moves on cows. We figure if we can take those ****ers down, we can take down anything. So I hop the fence and have my friend punch me in the head a few times to get my adrenaline running and to piss me the hell off, because I hate getting punched. So he hits me a few times and tells me I should go wrestle first. So I pick the weakest looking cow I can find, which is probably a thick hunk ton of meat of cow and I walk up to it. I punch it in the eye and go in for the tackle, however the thing dodges out the way and I hit the ground. The cow steps on me. It steps on me hard, roars, and runs off. It hurt like hell. Any good ideas on how to heal this new wound of mine? I plan on drinking milk the rest of the night and eating steak tomorrow just so I can feel the taste of revenge.

When you cbf'ed having a conversation with a person, so when they ask 'Have a good night?', just replying with 'yep' and leaving it at that. Killer in taxi's, normally results in the radio volume going up.

I hate that on MSN or on the phone too. You start a conversation with a friend, and all they say is yep, ok, yeah, nah or some other brickwall response. An absolute killer, you keep having to ask new questions just to keep the conversation going.

nothing is worse than just the "lol" response.

Definitely, it's almost a burn nowadays.

lol means I don't really care about what they are saying but of course, I only use it by itself as a last resort.

If I am actually laughing out loud, I use 'LOL!!!!'
 
I walked head first into a steel light post in rundle mall once, was too busy staring at some milf. That was pretty awkward. I just took it like a hard **** and kept walking while my mates were in fits of laughter

Also, when i dislocated my knee in the army many moons ago, 2 army nurses gave me a sponge bath the same day (it happened on an assault course, so i was all dirty and muddy), but i was on _copious_ amounts of drugs for the pain, so the little fella downstairs didn't really want to go along for the ride during said sponge bath...in fact lets just say he had closed up shop for the day and had retreated to his bach pad. The lads here will know what i'm talking about. That was pretty awkward.
