Society & Culture Awkward Situations

[rainman06]

I was in the US over xmas and we were in one of those megastores (with thousands of others). There was a line about 15 deep to leave the store through one of those revolving doors, with a long line of people outside waiting to come in as the door swings around. Anyway it was quite clearly a one-person-per-quadrant situation, but i was distracted by something and ended up squishing in behind this bloke who looked like he was about to punch me in the face for pushing myself up against him at a very awkward height.

Slowest 5 seconds of my life.

Another big one for me is when you are running for a tram and the entire tram sees you striving to make it. Except the driver, of course, who slowly shuts the door and chugs off as you leave the road and try to make it look as if you arent pissed off and didnt really want to make it anyway.

Wow thats awkward. Reminds me of the 4&20 ad a while back.




That's more embarrassing than anything. Same as teeing up at the 1st with a pack of 4 strangers behind watching and fluffing your drive 30m down the fairway.

This very thing happened to me today, however the strangers were actually in my group as I joined their group due to the number of people on the course clogging it up.

This wins!

What a bunch of internet dweebs you all are!

Half of these aren't awkward if you had a skerrick of confidence.

FFS politely say hello to the person you sort of know and keep walking or even get to know them better. Laugh at yourself for nearly tripping and make a joke of it.

Far out, I am surprised any of you can leave the house you have that many hang ups.

Pretty sure "dweeb" went out of fashion in the late 90's.

 

[morell]

I guess so did being able to function in society.

[morell]

^ hahahah!

If only you were all as funny in real life as you are on the internet.

 

[anti_]

[morell]

Until someone throws up near you, then you fall to pieces.

Actually, that was one I found pretty funny, but not really awkward.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Nah anti is a dweeb in real life.

I think I am the socially awkward penguin.

End up wearing a puffy pirate shirt?

 

[WCEforeverman]

Not knowing someone's name when they know yours. Not only do you have to resort to terms like 'mate' and 'buddy', the brain power you are using to desperately remember the name makes it impossible to concentrate on the conversation.

Haha!

Then when you remember their name halfway through the conversation you make such an effort to use their name (just so you can show them that you know their name) that it sounds phony.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

End up wearing a puffy pirate shirt?

hahaha

 

[Brick Tamland]

Seeing a girl you've had a one night stand with and have not been responding to their facebooks/texts etc.

 

[Damon_3388]

End up wearing a puffy pirate shirt?

"But I don't wanna be a pirate!"

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Yeah so i was a ballboy at the tennis this one time and was so excited to get the job i didnt really listen to the instuctions they gave, just kept downing the free gatorade that was on offer. Well next thing im up on court and am really busting for loo and the ball comes in my direction, so i go and grab it and end up pissing all over the place. Anyway I dont think ill have much for show and tell when school goes back.

"The ball kid peed on himself. It was unfortunate," Young said.
"It took a while to replace him. Then they had to put the sawdust down, or whatever you put down when somebody throws up.
"Then they had to use the blower (to dry the court) but the blower had no gas in it, so that took even more time."
