Awkward moments...

o come on, mr. perfect, (:P) you don't feel awkward yourself?

Nah, the concept of embarrasment does not exist in my brain. Case in point: I have no idea about the correct spelling for embrassment and nor do I care). :razzaq
 
^ You should care for the spelling otherwise in most cases you won't be able to compile yourself into usefull object or worse in other cases you will crash ;)
 
this thread reminds me of song ... isnt it ironic

Good thread
 
when a friend asks if they can use your phone to make a call and your out of credit.... awkward much !

The awkward moment, silence when your friend get better marks then you in the exam and you try to act normal.

The awkward moment when you messed up a year in uni and get the same tutor in the repeat year. Add to the awkwardness, you walked out the tutors exam(1st year) after 30 mins and the tutor was pissed off. Lol
 
When you're driving on the motorway and you see the flashing blue lights of a fire engine or ambulance behind you, you want to move over and give way but somehow they're never going fast enough to catch up.
 
When you stop at a signal light and make random eye contact with the person beside your car..

hahaha, that's always a little weird!

especially in Pakistan, where people have this really bad habit of staring for a few seconds too many...:iamlegend:iamlegend

I can understand a man staring at a woman or the other way around but they do not spare even people of the same sex :afridi And it gets even better when you screw up your face and they still do not look away :facepalm:

Couldn't agree more. It were marks during studies and now promotions/salary increments.

Another awkward moment for me is whenever someone tries to make me happy by surprising me having a bunch of people/friends and lunch/dinner/gifts etc. I just don't know how to react and I just don't know instantly if I am happy or not and the person who has arranged the surprise wants to hear instantly all the good things about himself/herself
 
When a girl sits next to you in the bus for the entire three hour journey and you feel like listening to songs on your ipod :facepalm:
 
when you end up in the same class with a girl you used to previously go out with!
 
When you sit on the bathroom seat and realize there is no toilet paper left.

When the cool girl in school compliments you and you're grinning ear to ear and are so shocked you don't know how to reply...


(this was back in year 9 I've grown up since then)
 
When you see someone you know in a public place but are still a fair distance apart. You both look at each other at the same time and then both pretend not to have noticed until you achieve closer proximity at which point you look up suddenly and express how 'nice a surprise' it is to see that person..

Hahaha! This has definitely happened to me.

When a good looking girl asks you to be in her group, and your friends start to make not so silent remarks.

Or when you're chilling in the school corridor with a bunch of guys and a girl stops by to talk to you and you can just hear the guys behind you saying "get in there man!". :akhtar

Also, one that happened to me yesterday: I was supposed to meet my Year Director at uni with a few other students but got stuck in traffic getting in and was about 25 minutes late for the meeting. Decided to skip it and go straight to a meeting I had in the library for a group project. 10 minutes later the Year Director walks past us in the library and I just caught his eye before looking away :P

Emailed him later to explain the situation though, otherwise could've seen my next meeting with him being quite awkward especially as he's my tutor.
 
3. When you are in a conversation you speak first but the other guy speaks an the same time , then you pause to let him speak, but he doesn't speak for 2-3 seconds then you decide to speak again and he does it the same time as you :))

Was on the phone to a friend the other day and this happened

Happens with relatives

Also, when someone says something to you, and you don't hear so you ask them to repeat it, and you don't hear again... I never know what to say next.

I'm known for my bad hearing now lol

The worst is when only you can hear them. So you're trying to maintain a serious face before the conversation completely falls apart.
 
You are watching TV or film with family and an inappropriate scene comes up and you cannot find the remote

Got to see that lovey-dovey girl again yesterday for a minute - just happened to make a one second eye contact and walked away :facepalm:

That awkward moment when your mom while addressing you calls out each of your siblings' name before finally getting your name right in the end. :facepalm:
 
When your mum argues with the shopkeeper because she thinks the price of the item is too high... my mum did it in southall today :facepalm:
 
Awkward moment for David Cameron:

When a Pakistani saves England against a loss against India :D
 
When your teacher is telling the students their test grades out-loud in front of the whole class and everyone is getting As or Bs, then your name gets called and the teacher just looks at you with a fake smile and tells you to come over to have a look at the grade instead of him saying it out loud, then you walk up there while everyone is looking at you, you see your grade, then walk back with a weird and fake smile like nothing is wrong, and everyone is still staring at you, and then you sit down hoping no one asks you for your grade, but then someone asks you "what you get?" and you tell them quietly but the whole class hears it ..:pissed:

Ermmm seems very unusual? does this happen very often to you ;) Hope not, Jus kiddin
 
When Pakistan win, Arsenal lose. But when Pakistan lose then Arsenal win.
 
When you're with friends and one of you crouches down to get something and you all see their butt crack but don't know where to look/pretend not to notice.
 
When you're talking to someone you're not so familiar with and mishear what they say, but instead of asking them to repeat it, you just magically assume they must have made the funniest remark in history and laugh out loud to make them feel good.

Only to find out they've told you their dad died.

Deal breaker!
 
When you're at corporate events with your high-paying clients and have to explain to them why you're not drinking alcohol.

Not ashamed of sticking to the code, but just the constant questions gets a bit tiresome.
 
Interesting. Seems to be a lot of awkwardness between PP members and the female species.

LOL, that must have been bad.
 
When you are visiting Pakistan, all the fat aunties want to kiss you all over your face, but younger aunties don't come closer :facepalm:
 
When your ex makes fake Facebook accounts and tries to add you.

When you break up with your gf and don't know whether to delete her from all accounts (fb,gmail,msn messenger, twitter etc), limit her access on top of that what to do with her friends whom you got to know through her
 
:)))

This thread has sooo many true awkward moments that I have experienced as well! :D
 
When you are actually thinking deeply about something important, that you are not noticing that you are staring at someone or something. Then suddenly you zone back in and realize that the other person is looking at you too. *Awkwardd*
 
When you make a comment that would make you sound smart, but after a few seconds noticing it did not make sense.
 
When you yawn and your eyes become all watery and your friends and other people around you think you are crying :))
 
When the flight attendant brings food and your meal comes right when the other people's leftovers are being taken away.

When you are actually fixing your glasses and people think you are picking your nose.. :/
 
When you feel like telling someone to go learn English but you don't wanna sound mean.

ok professor. care to explain the alternate meaning of insure and how it fits in the sentence you used before?
 
When you pay for a 99p item using a pound and don't know if you should wait for the change or just casually walk off whilst pointing at that little collection box for lost puppies or something. Always awkward.

:)))
when someone asks you to go and learn English when he himself has no clue about the language and uses words which have no relation to the rest of his sentence :)))

When you're watching a really really corny scene (Movie/TV) to the point you get goosebumps, but nobody changes the channel and everybody continues watching.

When your brother brings his wife to your house for the first time and you decide that a good dose of Louis CK will help break the ice - only to find that all the things you laugh at are jokes involving genitalia or sex.
