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

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.

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.

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.

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

Riding the ski lift with strangers can be awkward.

And I'm surprised no one has said this yet... farting during silence?

And I'm surprised no-one's said having to dump someone yet.

Also, I was getting a drink at some bar or other, and you know how the odd fella you come across has weird eyes that look like they're slightly crosseyed or something? The fella at the bar had that whole thing going. I kept turning my head thinking he was looking over my shoulder when he was asking me what I wanted to drink, 'til he actually pointed to his eyes and said 'right here'.
