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

My mother is ****ing needy, I have to watch movies with her all the time.

The awkwardness when somebody asks if you like a band you hate and you have to awkwardly say "not really".

You're too nice or you're not very confrontational.
I'll tell them what an abomination of a band they are and get into arguments.
Unless I just can't be arsed and there isn't a point.
I try and avoid speaking to Kiss/Guns N Roses/Bon Jovi fans at all costs.

I used to do this, I got into a 48 comment argument on Facebook over Green Day. But all my friends called me a pretentious ******* and said they'd fall out with me if I carried on.

My friend's parents always make me go with them to hockey games because they don't like just going with only their daughter. It's time consuming, but I deal with it.

And since I failed the third grade, I'm still in middle school, and the musical intelligence levels were dangerously low. They always asked my opinion on Never Shout Never, and I'd have to manage enough courage to say "I don't like them".

Here are a few situations:
-Spilling tea on your shirt, without a spare one, and having to explain to everybody that you said "It's a tea stain" and that you never said "It's a pee stain".

-dealing with people who have no idea how to use computers over the phone

-Having your friend willingly listen to your MP3 player only to have him/her frown in disgrace that it isn't normal, generic rock everybody else listens to

Be a man and take a piss at the urinal.

-Seeing an ex in public
-Worse yet, being with new girl and seeing ex in public (bonus awkward points if a conversation is started)
-Being with your girl and seeing HER ex in public (extreme bonus points awarded for conversation between those two)


Also, when somebody who speaks broken English keeps asking you something and you can't understand them. I worked at a shoe place and Oriental Asians would come in all the time and I could never understand what they were saying. Same goes for parents of friends that are Indian or Asian.

I got into a heated discussion with my friend over the fact she likes the fucking Wombats.

The only band we have in common is Brand new, so we tend to talk about how great Jesse Lacey is because I go fucking mental if we talk about bands she likes.
