Well This Is Awkward...

[ReZourceman]

What are the most awkward situations you've ever been in?

[Coolness Bears]

My time to shine! :grin:

Most situations with me end up awkward, I'm used to them now. I've "embaressed!" myself in public a dair few times and in front of family at school. Practically my whole life is one big awkward situation. :p

Nothing major has happened really, and it's generally what I say sometimes that leaves people thinking What the hell?

It's my own fault really and often bring these sitauations upon myself. :)

Firstly, I'm not very good with talking to people so there is always that loooooong awkward silence especially when it's just me and someone else in the room and I think I have to talk and say something like...

"i like the smell of sellotape on my fingers!"

*runs*

[Tellyn]

I've been in too many to recall even one incident. I suppose one could be me asking my friend if his auntie (who used to be a dinnerlady at our primary school) was dead yet.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Asking my step sister what she was getting for her mum on mother's day, forgetting she drowned a few years previous.

[JonSt]

Asking someone at work what car there dad was driving after just finding out that they just got their dad's car becuase he died.

[Emasher]

Generally if I say something about my preference in things to someone other than my friends or family, it creates an awkward situation. For instance once I was talking to my friends about FPS games and said "I'm not that big a fan of FPS games" and some kid who was following us around started telling everyone I hate FPS games (Which isn't true, I just like other genres more). People acted strange around me for a while. Things like that happen to me at least once a month.

Why would anyone give a shit about whether or not you like FPS games?

[Emasher]

People at my school will find anyway to bug me about stuff. I've never been that popular there.

[Letty]

I made a cancer joke (accidently, I'd forgotten) to my friend who had cancer...

I was such a fucking idiot.

I'm not sure who needs to get a life more, you or your friends.

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

I can't seem to remember any particular incidents right now, though I know I've been in several.

[Apple_NdiB]

Sounds like a bit of a skub situation to me. Serves you right for having an opinion anyway.

(fuck skub).

[Calza]

Down with skub!

[Jordan]

I put my foot in my mouth so often that i can't remember any...

Oh wait yeah. I went to a 'friend' in high school "i'm going to fuck your mother." and his mother commited suicide a few years back. Hmmm.

[D_prOdigy]

My God, man. How old were you?

[Tellyn]

My God, man. How old were you?

I think it was only 2 years ago, needless to say I couldn't get out of that one (I didn't actually mean to say it). I think he told his parents, which would explain why they were sarcastic and arsey to me for a while.

[navarre]

I made a cancer joke (accidently, I'd forgotten) to my friend who had cancer...

I was such a fucking idiot.

I'm with you there. I was showing off in a resteraunt, and absent-mindedly joked about cancer, in front of my Grandma, who has suffered from it.

Not good.

[ReZourceman]

You had fucked her already? :heh:

[Sheikah]

Listening to the Halo 3 main menu tune, and joining in at a part with loud singing yelling "What if God was one of us..." (the tune actually follows the song for that bit), then my sister walking past having heard it. Oh no.

[Raining_again]

Today!

I was on the phone at work to someone that had called a few times before and got me each time, asked if i was the only one working, I said something along the lines of "well there are other people here" then paused maybe just a little too long, to add "but they do work!"

I dunno, people don't get my humour IRL :(

[My Buttons are Magic!]

lol.. tonight was gonna be awkward. cant go into more detail but i chickened out of something.. ahh

n most times being in at work is awkward.. im known as the weird one. they just dont get my HUMOR :)

I've read that thoroughly 3 times now, and I still need to come to the conclusion: "what?"

[My Buttons are Magic!]

I know the feeling. :heh:

lol yay!
yes well..
i pretend they laugh with me but normally they are laughing at me

but ahh well. ill never be "normal". id rather be weird than boring :yay:

[Cube]

It has to be one of my many, many bad jokes that I just blurt out without thinking.

[Walfaeder]

I made a cancer joke (accidently, I'd forgotten) to my friend who had cancer...

I was such a fucking idiot.

But that's hillarious!

[Chris the great]

well, i have alot of moments were i absentmindedly accused people of being peados, (friends, not strangers in the street) forgetting that a friend of mine had a run in with onw while younger, though as she wasnt actualy touched by the guy i dont think its too bad.

most awkward moment for me in a while was in april, out for a friends birthday, a girl who i really fancy was out with us, and i was actualy doing really well with her, making jokes that had her laughing, that she kept going back to over and over, i was, for once, actualy being charming, cool and dare i say it, appealing to the the fairer sex.

then my friend leans accross the full table, at the most quiet moment on earth to say "sarah is totaly sleeping with chris tonight!" every one sort of blushed, conversation dropped, and it took a few moments for things to go back to normal. took him sligtly longer to say it again. then again, then again.

night ended with me being all swarve and loverly, walking her home with arms linked, a fair bit from the rest of the group, making her laugh and finding out about her life. every few moments we got a "shes so going to bed with him!" from the same stupid guy. needless to say, when we get home she goes straight to bed (without me) and im left looking at his stupid face.


i suppose he owed me, hed broken up with his gf, and i spent a good hour telling him he was better off without her and that id never cared for her that much. few days later i walk into our kitchen to make and guess who i saw standing there?

oh, and anouther mates ex once, randomly i might add, told anouther mates gf she wasnt pretty enough for him. cant imagine that going well

[MoogleViper]

We should start a club.

[Paj!]

I was just thinking of my most awkward one, and then it hit me.

GOD! This is just awful.

This a few years ago, like 2-3 years ago. I was sitting in Maths, and so one does, for no explainable reason, I got one of those really annoying semi-erections...how that happened through long division is anyone's guess.

Anyway, I knew that it would go away by the end of the lesson, and thought to myself "I hope I don't get called up...why would I though? They never call us up to write on the board!"

Of course, about 5 minutes later, the teacher did. I was shitting myself when the teacher called out my name. I like sat there for a few seconds silent, then said "Um...oh by the way! I think I have that homework...*digs around in bag*..for you. Oh wait, I don't."
"Just hurry up and come up to the front!"
I sort of stood-up and knew I needed a few seconds to stall, before I could actually leave my desk fully.
"*stares at board with fake concentration, whilst still half stood, half sat* ...Actually, I don't know If I know the answer to this one..."
"But we just went over it!"
"Oh, right you are. :)"

At that point I was able to go to the front and complete whatever equation I had to.

So it was potentially FAR worse, but no one knew/realised.

Hahah! The half sitting/standing bit sounds like a scene straight out of a lolztastic movie.

Agreed, it sounds like it came straight from a comedy film. :)

[Jav_NE]

One time at reading festival we were all sitting about the camp drinking and having a laugh. For some reason there was this random bloke sitting with us. No-one really knew who he was friends with but, anyway, he was a little strange and quite reserved. He didn't say a word all night. Eventually the conversation led to talking about our dads and stuff, and my mate thought it would be friendly to ask this newcomer about his dad... "he's dead" were the only words we heard from him, and there was complete silence from about 20 people. It was so awkward. You never really know what to say when someone reveals something like that, least of all when it's a really weird stranger.

haha, ohhhhh dear. I have had so many awkward moments, somehow I just always get caught saying the worst things at the worst times. I have to gap it to bed now, hopefully I'll remember to come back to this thread after work tomorrow :)

Getting caught by my mother in her best cocktail dress was pretty awkward.

[D_prOdigy]

Getting caught by my mother in her best cocktail dress was pretty awkward.

I would imagine so. How old were you?

[Jordan]

I bet it was last week...

[Strider]

Drama 'lessons' every week in year 7 and 8 were the most awkwardest moments i can think of. Standing up and acting like a prick infront of a class full of people i hated anyway wasn't the most fun thing to do.

I remember one time we had to act out a song (to the lyrics) and we picked Tribute by Tenacious D because we thought it would be easy, we forgot about the 30 second solo in the middle and it was just a big awkward air guitar session infront of 25 people. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it.

[ReZourceman]

Oh bloody hell Strider, you've reminded me of something.

I changed secondary schools 6 weeks before the end of year 8. So I was at my new school...and Id only been there for about 2 weeks or so I guess, so we had a drama lesson. This activity seemed like the most ridiculous thing in the world....we sat in a circle, then one person stood in the middle, and had to chose someone of the opposite sex to take their place in the middle, and say something like "Im Blah, and I want to switch places with....X" and then point at them. So It came to my turn, and I was like "I want to switch places with....Hannah" and I pointed at this girl in my class.....and of course her name wasnt Hannah. Very embarassing.

[rokhed00]

I would imagine so. How old were you?

Fifteen, had been doing it for eight years though, so they took their time catching me.

[Ashley]

Just because I recently remembered it;

When our neighbour attacked at 3amish one time and we phoned the police. They arrived quickly and we were obviously in bed beforehand and too shook up to really think so me and my housemate let them in and realised he was in his boxers, I was in pj bottoms and that was it.

Could be misinterpretted...

But I've been in many awkward situations. One does spring to mind buet lets not delve into that :p

[ReZourceman]

No....lets! :)

[Raining_again]

Not mine, but witness to it:

We were having a conversation about something in school, and my best friend said something (I don't ever remember it being offensive) and the mouth of the year said "go fuck yer dad".

I had to break it to her that my best friends dad was indeed dead. I felt awful for my best friend, her face fell and she went quiet for the rest of the day. :(

I've had that happen to me numerous times, which is why I'm not so partial to mum jokes. My friend also had the same done to her when her dad recently died when she was 7, fun all round! :heh:

I think the worst had to be asking somebody when their baby was due and realised that it was infact them being quite large, I have never felt so mean in my life.. :blank:

[Tellyn]

One just happened - I direct you to How was your day?

[Dante]

Yeah, that was awkward for you.

I am indeed in the same boat when it comes to the "your mum" or "your dad" kind of jokes.

There was a guy who was trying to gain attention back in secondary school, the type of person that loves to be the centre of attention. Well he randomly came to my friend and started saying, "your dad aint sh*t" and "what kind of person is your dad if... (enter derogatory comment here)" as well as some other stuff. As you can guess, my friends father has passed away, so that incident almost ended in a fight just because some dumb guy wanted to grab some attention.

Oh, and Letty, I've been in a similar situation regarding a woman who I thought was pregnant, but upon closer observation, I realised she wasn't, and I never did ask her (I can only imagine how bad that would have felt...)

[Uoon]

Once me and my now ex-girlfriend were having a talk/fight and a bird shat on my leg...

Awkward for a long time till a burst out laughing and the fight was over.

[tapedeck]

Awesome story alert!

Although it never happened to me and no-one ever believes me when I tell this, here goes. It's actually really, awful...

I was at a friends barbecue in Cyprus and we were all celebrating his dad getting his promotion in the army. Anyways, some wifey who was there went to the toilet in the house and had a poo. To cut the detail, the poo mustn't have flushed and so she rolled it up in toilet paper and tried again. Again it wouldn't flush (dodgy Cypriot toilets). So she did the sensible thing.
She wrapped it in more toilet paper and threw it out of the window.

Out of the window. Yes. Now that might not seem too bad but it got worse:

The poo (in toilet roll) rolled down the small pantry-alike roof and...almost as if it was meant to be...Landed ON the barbecue with the food. The silence was deafening from the (once) joyous chef. And when she came from the toilet everyone just knew it was her. Her face just dropped and she ran indoors. It was a good job everyone had a sense of humour because she was slaughtered for months and months. Poor lass. I skipped on the food that day though.

Possibly the most embarrassing (and hillarious) situation I've seen happen to anyone.

[My Buttons are Magic!]

when someone asked me in at work why i was doing my exams in august.

i was "my mum died in may"?

ugh - that was awkward

Why didn't she just let it float? :indeed:

[ReZourceman]

You know what women are like when it comes to poo.

[Chris the great]

just remembered this.

going to a few bars with some friends, one has a new female friend joining us for a couple. pretty oriental girl, very nice, but a little shy. on guy, pete, mentions he has a ticket to to some thing called after party (bassicly 2am-7am drink n dance) the girl perks up hearing this and says, in a very steriotypical chinese accent, very loudly "YOU GOT YOU TIIIICKET?!" I had to grab my drink to laugh into, as did pete and i belive the guy who was involved with said setiotype.

worst part was, id ordered a bloody mary and the taste was foul, my face was stuck midway between laugh and grimace of pain.

[EchoDesiato]

I had this one time where my brain short circuited somehow and said an awful awful thing. You know those times where you're in a situation and you think "man it'd be so rude if I said this"? Only, this one time, where I was at the young age of 13, I actually said it. It's not like I wanted to say it, but while I was thinking about the particular sentence, I really said it out loud at the same time. I still feel really bad about this, I'm such an asshole.

I said to this girl: "Why don't you pull a paper bag over your head?"
She smacked me in response, rightfully so.

Yep, I'm going to hell.

[Chris the great]

I know this is a long one, but my god was it awkward, read it and judge.

well, my father had the mother of all awkward moments a few years ago, i must have been 14 or 15. just got back from holiday to spain, dad finds out he dosnt have a job any more, at a family meal later that day, he has a bit to much to drink, but insits on driving, which we let him do as we didnt notice how drunk he was.

we had to make a stop before going home, at my aunt and uncles house. now, my aunt and uncle were in their 40's, and hadnt ever had kids, aunty had recently become pregnant, which was bassicly the last chance at a kid, but sadly she had a misscarrage.

my dad had managed to ride up the curb outside the house and burst two tyres on his car, so we turn up, busted car, and slightly drunken father in tow. the mood was a little bleak, disscussing recent holidays, they had been to florida (where she lost the baby) and we had been to spain. obviously the conversation didnt venture there, but it also had an air of sadness and quiet understand. not from dad mind. hes joking away, laughing, being loud. not rude, just a bit inappropriate.

being shown around the recently decorated house we get to the bathroom and are shown the bathtub. my uncle says "and its got an impregnated jacuzi jet!" (it made bubbles) i see my dad's face light up, a grin spread and before anything can be done he says, voice booming. "I BET A FEW THINGS HAVE BEEN IMPREGNATED IN THERE!" and he starts laughing. hard.

it was a quiet taxi ride home that day.

[tapedeck]

Why didn't she just let it float? :indeed:

I've never met a woman who has just 'let it float' yet... classssy :heh:


Chris, your dad sounds like a legend. Drunken blokes can never refuse a sexual innuendo. It's like a weakness. :( But a funny one! :yay:

its a great story, every one laughs about it now, but at the time it was awful. still, its the one story that, if timed right can get people to shoot drink out their nose.
