Awkward social situations

right-track · 10-26-2010, 01:37 PM

Everytime my mother in law kisses me on the cheek in public.
If we meet in the street she'll kiss me on the cheek as a greeting and again when we part.
Usually when I'm with a friend.
I literally have to fight the instinctive urge not to head butt her as she leans in.
Instead I have to smile through gritted teeth.
Very Awkward!

I see your bitching about someone as they enter the room

And I raise you the waiting for the change in the shop even though you've paid the exact money.

And don't even get me started on the having a piss in the urinals. So uncomfortable. I try and go for the cubical, but if there's someone already in there then nothing says "I have a small willy" like a que for the cubical so you're forced to stand next to another man while you have a wee.

ZOMG yes. I do this all the time, I cannot pee with people watching.
What about the classic dodge somebody in a doorway and then they also dodge then everytime you move they move and it goes on for like 30 seconds.

That's just a pain in the arse, I find myself wanting to rugby tackle them.
Cunts. Get out my way.
I don't find it particularly awkward.

The awkwardness when a woman doesnt choose the iron in a game of monopoly however... Lulz.

How about when you are having a conversation mishear someone then have to ask what for the third time?

I dunno what's worse - THAT, or what happened to me the other day.

Massive business meeting, I was at the door meeting and greeting and mingling as you do - and I was shaking everyone's hands as they entered etc.
So, this girl turns up and I had met her once before and got on reasonably well - but I decided to go for the professional hand shake
She however, she went in for the kiss on the cheek.
And then I made some weird noise like "uh-ot-oh" as I repositioned for the kiss on the cheek. So awkward.

LMAO.
Somebody on Facebook liked something that said:
"The awkwardness when Osama Bin Laden asks for the time and it's 9:11"
I was Rofl.

I'd rather tell Osama Bin Laden the time than when it's my birthday and someone says "happy birthday!" and you say "thanks, you too"

Or when you get a take away delivered and the guy delivering it says "enjoy your meal." and you say "cheers, you too"

So cringeworthy.

I thought of a couple.

The other day I was in class and me and my friend started discussing Belle And Sebastian. The teacher asks what we're talking about and my friend tells him. So he asks if their new album is any good and she replies, he then asks what kinda music we both like, I can't even muster an answer in front of a class of neds so I just kinda muster an "all sorts".

I was auditioning for the role of The Lion in the school play and the teacher counted me in to start singing. I try to sing but i'm so nervous I just kinda make a bark sound and ask to start over.

When you're watching TV/a movie with your parents and a raunchy sex scene comes on.

When you get paired with someone with a mutual hatred in class.

Ah, I've encountered this a few times. That's why I never watch movies when my parents are around
