Awkward Moments

[Zerlina]

Thought this might be fun- what are some funny/ awkward stories you've experienced lately?



Yesterday it was raining, and I was walking down this dead street, alone. This is going to sound lame, but when I'm bored, sometimes I imagine hypothetical conversations, scripts, or even just situations. Anyway, long story short, I accidentally contributed to my imaginary conversation out loud, just as I noticed I was passing two guys smoking on their porch. They looked at me (as I was clearly walking alone), and instead of walking faster, for some reason I thought-

oh crap. Better look crazy or they'll think I'm just weird

...so I kept talking until I was sure they couldn't hear me anymore...

Me and my friend were walking down to a game store one day, years and years ago.
I ended up getting like, dust in my eye or something.
I said "****, I got dust in my eye", and my friend misheard it as "death".
He said "Death in your eye, eh? It's like getting cum in your eye."
And then he screamed as loud as he could "I HATE GETTING CUM IN MY EYE"
Some random girl was walking on the street too, and wheeled around quite cartoonishly to stare at us and then started busting up laughing, equally cartoonishly.
I about died.

For the record, I think we were about 12 at the time.

ed: Also awkward, I've been sent to the hospital due to an allergic reaction to a pair of pants.
The kicker?
Said allergic reaction started while I was at a funeral.

Couldn't you just pretend that you were talking in the phone? A lot of people round here sit alone talking to themselves. Only they are actually speaking with someone on the phone.

Awkward moments... Well there are these typical ones. I run into someone who I used to take some classes with or something. I remember the face, and the voice and all. But I can't for the love of god remember the person's name or what class we actually took together.
So I spend some time talking to that person avoiding any possibly shared memories and asking a lot of questions about their lives.
Sometimes it happens that I manage to figure it out by the end of the conversation, but I'm most likely to just excuse myself to another location.

Yesterday at work, I was stocking milk.  We have slider racks for this, so you have to go into a back cooler.  As I'm working, I hear a little girl laugh and say excitedly, "Hey, I can see a guy!"  So I look out, and there's two kids giggling and watching me stock milk.  So, I kept giving them weird looks until they left.

Going to hand a tray of food out to the customer... OOPS.  YOU JUST SPILLED IT ALL OVER BECAUSE SOME KID THREW ALL THE FORKS ON THE GROUND.

Many years ago Pokemon Yellow came out. So I decided to go out and buy it for my brother as a birthday present. Go to the store, find 1 single copy left. Just as I pick it up I feel a tingling sensation coming from my leg. I look down and there I see a little kid biting me... BITING ME!!! The hell?!

Pokemon, Firbys, and Tickle Me Elmos do crazy things to people.

It gets more awkward if you realize he's talking about someone he just paid to see naked.

Also because we don't look anything alike. She's just asian.

[fruckert]

Oh, wow, that was a train wreck of a conversation.

[Prpl_Mage]

Wow yeah, I wouldn't like to be that person

It could be worse though, he could say that he recognized you by looking at something completely different.

Man, I never have awkward conversations where I feel awkward. Like I had a conversation with some friends where the words "I kissed my grandma. On the lips. With tongue. Hand under shirt, but over bra because we're not that close."

I have no shame, apparently. I suppose, in fairness, I was using those words as an example, trying to project them as something one of my friends would say, somehow.

my manager at work was getting nagged at, at the window.
He comes back and says.
"Sorry about that guys, had a car full of hookers up my ***."

My reply?
"Only at McDonalds will you EVER hear about a car full of hookers being up your *** a bad thing."

was he trying to hit on you or something, or just offend
