So, I was reflected on all the awkward moments in life, and since there are so many of them, I thought I'd make my own personal list of "That Awkard Moment When..." 's . Am sure you will all relate to some of them.
THAT AWKARD MOMENT WHEN...
1. You try opening the door with the huge "PULL" sign, by pushing it. Or maybe its a "PUSH" sign - but whatever it is, you always do the opposite. There are always people watching and waiting for you to figure out how to open the door so that they too can enter.
2. Someone is walking towards you and you both try to dodge each other but end up colliding instead. You then try to dodge a second time, and collide a second time. You pretend to laugh it off together but really are dying of awkwardness on the inside. This goes on indefinitely.
2. Someone adds you on facebook and starts messaging you like they've known you for years, and you actually have no idea who this person is. You interrupt their big update about their life by going: "excuse me, but I actually have no idea who you are? How do I know you?" They respond simply by typing offended question marks: "??" You feel so awkward that you quickly unfriend this person before you can create any more offensive awkwardness.
3. You're visiting someone and their dog is apparently super attracted to your leg. You refrain urge to kick the dog, and try to gently remove it from your leg, while the host just stands there pretending like their dog isn't currently dry humping their guest.
4. That hot-and-cold "friend" you have decides to ignore you today when you say hello on the way to your lecture room. The friendly smile drops from your face as you try not be offended by this awkward snub.
5. Your enormous service dog lets off a loud and very smelly fart during one of the lectures you are attending. It is a small lecture room, and the windows are closed. You don't know whether to laugh, or get up and open the window, or pretend that it hasn't happened. Apparently the whole class feels the same as they all sit there trying not to react to the horrific stench now wafting through the room. Your service dog is apparently completely oblivious to the awkward discomfit he has caused, and goes ahead and falls asleep, snoring loudly enough to be heard over the lecturer.
6. You happen to be standing near a group of people at university. they are having a convo and you are evesdropping (I mean, its not like you can HELP hearing them, right?) You decide to suddenly join in with what you thought was a hilarious remark. Everyone stares at you in stunned silence. You awkwardly leave before things get worse.
7. A stranger starts up a convo with you at the supermarket. They seem nice so you chat for a moment, ... but it becomes slowly apparent that the stranger is raving mad and you start to become afraid that they'll follow you home and kill you. They are also blocking the isle so you can't move past them, and they are forcibly continuing the conversation while you awkwardly look for a way to escape. You wait for something to distract them then quickly run away while they're not looking.
8. Someone asks you what you did on Sat night, and you awkwardly consider how to answer... as you reflect upon the night you spent eating fish and chips with your mum and your aunty and dog, while the three of you tried to figure out a "Barbie Camper-Van" Toy that is to be bestowed your cousin's kid for their birthday. You don't mention any of this to your friend - nor the full hour it took you to figure out where the pink button was on the Barbie Van that would turn on the music.
9. You're in an opera rehearsal, and you forgot to put your phone on silent. Someone calls you. This is your ring-tone: ttps://www.you
So I decided to put 9 examples. because 9 seems like more of an awkward number than 10. Hope you enjoyed!! :D
