So, post something you did/do/said that was really awkward. BTW, if this thread gets no posts then this will be very awkward for me...

Anyways, I hate it when you're buying groceries and you're walking towards someone, you notice each other and try to avoid walking into each other by taking evasive maneuvers, but you both end up walking in the same direction. This continues until someone just stops, the other person looks down with a stupid smile and says 'I'll just go this way' and hurries past. Then you continue on with your awkward life.

keep it clean though!

    seeing someone you think know but not too sure.

    look at them until they look at you.

    avoid eye contact.

    what if they have seen you?

    look back.

    do i wave?

    what if i dont know them?

    they are looking at me, they are looking at me!

    they must know me.

    *wave*

    they dont know me.

    awkward.

    I think the whole someone says "hi" and you say "hi" back but they weren't talking to you thing is probably at the top. Hasn't happened for a while. At this point I just don't say hi back until they're in my face or something.

    When you're walking along on ice in the street and start slipping doing those crazy ninja moves 'cos you were the only idiot that was wearing shoes with slippy soles. Then you look around to see if anyone had seen you just to notice a whole queue of people at the bus stop s******ing.

    Based on a true story.

    I must have my awkwardness turned off.

    I trim hedges with a sword.
    I do my evil laugh in public.
    I shake my fist and say curse you.
    I say the word smeg instead of a curse word in public.
    I often dress in my Gekkoukan and Fuuka Academy outfits in public.
    When it is complete, I fully intend to do likewise with my Rita Mordio costume. (see sig link for pics of how it will look)
    I make references to books and things that the person I making the reference to has never seen.

    I do sometimes make other people feel awkward though.

    Walking through an EXTREMELY expensive womans clothing store.. I saw a woman in front of me and tried to move out of her way, she moved with me and I tried to move again without breaking stride...

    I ran right into the mirrored back wall.

    I tend to use "frelling." I've even gotten people to do it (by just heaing me say it) who probably have no idea where it came from.
    :D

    You know when you've murdered a bunch of people, and your cop neighbour who never liked you anyway is coming up the garden path, and you have nowhere to put the bodies, and the blood's seeping into the carpet?

    Awwwwkward.

    Actually... that's BORING.

    Seen and heard it far to often in third rate murder mysteries and bad episodes of CSI.

    well there's my favorite pick-up line: "does this cloth smell like Chloroform to you?"

    Also apparently the Cat fanciers association is a group of people who like cats as pets...it got a little awkward when I started asking for recipes. (except that one lady who without skipping a beat said "well first you take a couple of small children...")

    So I was with my parents shopping for a microwave. As we pass the electronics section where they keep the games and movies en route to the home appliance section my mom asks if there would be a microwave there. I say, "Nah, this is the entertainment electronics department. And I don't really think a microwave would be entertainment unless a cat is inside it."

    The lady next to me (not my mother) gasps in horror.

    Okay, not so much awkward as fun. I got to make a cruel allusion at the expense of cats and freak some old lady out.

    a few years ago some stupid teenagers actually did put a cat in a microwave. I along with everyone else was rather discusted. I was discussing the incident with my nurse, and I blurted "everyone knows you're supposed to pan fry cats"

    Thankfully my nurse just smiled and said "with garlic!"

    Awkward? Where to begin....

    "Well there was the time I called the police to report a short haired TRIBBLE running around wal mart with a demented look on her face, shooting up male hormones in the milk aisle and jibbering on about terrorist trying to blow us up from the fruit section."

    You can imagine how awkward I felt when I was informed that it was Janet Napolitano our current Department of Homeland Security Cheif
