Awkward moments define my life...

So, I was walking around campus and noticed that my friend was sitting on a bench ahead of me (his back was towards me). I haven't seen him in a while, so I went up to him and enthusiastically said, "Hey!! Long time no see!!". I was about to give him a hug...

...until I saw his face and realized it wasn't him.

Awkward, much??

He stared at me as if I was insane... At this point, I decided to "play things cool" and said, "Well, I really have to go... Bye!". (I was hoping he would think that he met me before, but just forgot, lol).  

Wow, I am seriously cool. Seriously.

How about you? Any awkward moments?

Well handled!

I have way too many awkward moments for my liking.

The one I still really cringe at was when I had just been dating my bf for 1 month, and we were having a bit of a tiff! In the midst of the row I let loose with........

"Oh for crying out loud Stewart...(awkward moment)....called today said I've left some stuff at the house, do I want him to mail it to me"!!!

Stewart is my ex  and it had nothing to do with what we were rowing about

In high school, I had many awkward moments, here are two for you to enjoy:

1. I was shopping at a grocery store with a group of gal friends. We were shopping for ice cream to pig out on and I decided it would be cool to eat the ice cream with baby spoons, like tiny plastic ones for, well, babies. So I go galavanting off in search of spoons, when my friends called to me that we didn't need them. I turned my head to shout "ok" but continued to walk forward and I knocked over a GIANT display of speed stick. It came crashing down and everyone is the store looked at me or came running to see what the fuss was. grrr.  My friends thought this was hilarious and for many a birthday after, I'd always received a gift wrapped speed stick to commemorate the memory.

2. Some friends and I were driving somewhere and I had horrible (still do) allergies, so my nose was constantly running. I begged everyone else in the car for a tissue, but no one had any. The only thing I had on me was a pad, so naturally I ripped it open and blew. Everyone thought I was so gross for it, but it was clean and sanitary and better than any shirt sleeve! But I am still ridiculed today for it.

 

way too many awkward and embarassing moments;  really.....

I walked into a cafe 10 years agao with my new go-go boots on and new dress to see a guy that I hadn't seen in a while (who dumped me) and when I walked in; I slipped on ice pellets/hail (it was winter) and did a cartoon banana flailing fall and landed straight on my a$$ with go-go boots up in the air; dress above waist.  Not one of my finer moments. 

He was sitting right in front of the door.   

At my old job I was asked to sign a card for my co worker Tim, I THOUGHT it was a birthday card. Me and Tim Joke around alot so I wrote "Tim your one year closer to kicking the bucket"

well, after I signed it I asked my other Co-worker how old he was, she said " what? its not his birthday, his grandma died"

it was a sympathy card.

: D! that's the worst.

 

i can't think of any good ones, but today I smacked into this random lady in a clothing store as I was exiting with my purchases. I flailed onto a table of nicely folded sweaters. we were both apologetic.

I hit my friend on the head with a rolled up newspaper for ignoring me because I was sat at the back of the bus and she was sat at the front. - Turns out it wasn't my friend.  Oops.  :o)

Sunnybra, that's awesome! I have a similar story---I was at the mall awhile back, and I saw my best friend.  Classy lady that I am, I snuck up behind her, grabbed her shoulders and went "BOO!".  Yeah, definitely not my friend.  Poor girl!

In highschool I was walking down the hall with my bff.  We were talking about one of the senior guys we had just walked past in the cafeteria (one of the most gorgeous guys I have ever seen).  So we are walking down the hall and I'm going on and on about how hot Riley (that was his name) was blah, blah, blah.  All of sudden my friend interupted me and just said "Liz, umm, let's not talk about this right now."  I was completely dumbfounded and didn't know why she said that.  We had to split ways and go to different classes so I just figured I'd ask her after class.  After we went our separate ways I was walking up the stairs and noticed Riley was walking right behind (and I mean within inches) I thought to myself "my god is he hot, I better not trip on the stairs".  After I got out of class and saw my bff I went to ask her why she had cut me off earlier...then it hit me.  I asked my bff: "Riley was right behind us the entire time I was talking about how hot he is wasn't he?"  She just nodded and started cracking up laughing at me.  No wonder he was following me so closely

Uh.  Whenever I go to draw patients who have a girl's first name but are boys, or have boyish first names and are girls.  I walk in the room, see that Kelly has a moustache, and apologise for bothering them.  Then I re-read my requisition and see it is indeed a dude and go back in.

And they always know what happened 'cause they always say, "It happens more than you'd think."

I love this.  I needed a laugh today.

I always feel really awkward and embarrassed when OTHER people say/do something embarrassing.

I was at a BBQ for Memorial day and one of the guys there was talking about how trashy the next-door neighbors are.  He just went on and on about how their yard is a mess, the house is a mess... the neighbor's wife was sitting right next to him.

At my previous job, there was an older gentleman in the copy room the same time as me.  Something smelled like poop.  I turned to see that he had poop smeared on the back of his shirt.  Weird!  I'm not sure if he noticed that it was there, or noticed that I noticed, but I got out of there quickly.

Let me first say: I was a WEIRD kid. One time when I was at the mall, I had a sticker that i'd dropped. SO I decided to walk backwards to go get it, and  there happened to be the torso of a manikin hanging on a display right behind me. When I turned around, I walked RIGHT into it, and my arms went around it like I was dancing with it when I tripped over the bottom of the display. My mom said it looked like I was doing the tango with something that was trying to kill me. And of course, the hot clerk saw everything and had to duck down behind the counter so the weird little 10 year old wouldn't see him laughing his ass off.

swimchick - That was so funny I am actually sitting at my desk laughing out loud.  Good narrating skills.  Puts the image right in my head!

 why thank you :)

When I was younger, we once went to a restaurant and as we were leaving, I saw a lady who looked like my mother.  I was going to go grab her and say "boo", yet just as I was about to, the lady turned around.  She wasn't my mommy =(
