Awkward moments...

When you go to cricket equipment store to get cup/box, and the Aunty asks you what size? :facepalm:
 
Sometimes, I like to intentionally induce awkward moments. When you embrace the awkwardness of a situation, it gives you an odd, slightly masochistic pleasure. One of my favorite tricks is catching someone who is staring at you, and then making elongated eye contact with them. Often, in my classrooms and lecture halls, random strangers will be staring at you, examining you, for no particular reason; I myself do it to others all the time. Typically, when you start to look in the direction of a starer, he will quickly avert his gaze and pretend he never looked at you. However, sometimes you get lucky, and catch the person staring at you. This itself produces slight awkwardness, but it can be greatly multiplied if you continuously stare back at the person. The typical scenario occurs like this: first, the person will look back in your direction, and check to see if you caught him staring; when he sees you staring back at him, he will realize that you did catch him, and will quickly avert his gaze again. However, the average person is also quite curious, and will look back at you just to make sure; in plus, he figures that by now, you will have looked away. To his horror, he sees you still staring at him. He will be too frightened to hold eye contact, and will quickly move his eyes away again. This can repeat several times. The awkwardness that results from this is unbelievable, to the extent that the person will likely try to avoid you in the future. :))

1. When an inappropriate scene comes on all of a sudden; while you are watching TV with your parents. And to make it worse, sometimes the remote doesn't work properly so you can change the channel right away.

2. Talking sh*t about some guests and they overhear you

3. Walking in on someone changing their clothes
 
Awkward moments...

When a mutual friend tries to introduce you to someone you’ve already hooked up with like you two don’t know each other.

When you accidentally hold down the question mark key too long and now you sound demanding and impatient.

When Selena Gomez has a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.

When you’ve already said “what?” three times and still have no idea what the person said, so you just agree.
 
When a guy tells you he likes your sister :facepalm:

Happened to me , lucky for him he was white and i let it go thinking he does not know . I swear if someone in Pakistan said or had he been South Asian , i would punch him .

you need to punch him.

now.
 
This is an awkward incident that happened to me.

A gentleman from Rotary club (a club that regularly organizes charity and pro-environment ventures) came to our school to give a speech about tree-planting drive in the city and how kids from the school can /should participate in it.

His speech was after the morning assembly of the school and most of us hated these speeches because they were boring and we had to stand in the heat for 15-20 more minutes. So, we kept making fun of that guy who was speaking. After his speech was done and we were returning to our classes, I noticed one of my classmates talking the that guy. When he came back to the class I asked him what he was conversing on with that "idiotic old bugger". He told me that the man was his father. :|

Thankfully, number three never happened to me.

Number one and number two are particularly awkward. Especially number one. Even if the remote works.

Someone quickly changes the channel and acts like he was bored of the old thing or wants to check what is on the other channel. But, everyone knows what it was all about.
 
LOL #2 has happened to me so many times, its not even funny any more.

I always avoid such situations. So much so that I start acting like like I'm busy texting whenever I feel that I'm being watched.

I am also not comfortable with people overhearing my conversations with someone. I don't like talking too loudly or too informally when I am in a taxi or in an auto-rickshaw.

Its never funny. Its decidedly awkward. Especially - the moment when you realize that they know and they realize that you know that they know.

Any kind of explanation makes things further awkward, so, the best resort is to grin and bear it.
 
I'm good at reversing the situation though, thankfully. :qadir

self-deprecation always works.
 
I loved it whenever any of our relatives visited our house when I was little. (We stayed in a different city and they used to come only once or twice a year) I never wanted them to go back and so mt first question when they arrived would often be - When are you going to go back?

This was just out of inquisitiveness but it must have been awkward for those relatives.
 
Awakward/strange and Wierd things...

Share any awkward/strange and wierd things you have experianced, seen in your life.

To start of with...

I was in Wendys today...this guy brought 15 chicken spicy sandwich combos for 120 odd dollars...I was standing 2 persons behind him...I had to wait for a quite while since they prepared his 15 sandwiches. After he got the 15 sandwiches...he distributed two each to the 7 people behind him in the line. and took one for himself And when we asked him..he said that is his hobby and and he does it once a month and left with out giving us an oppurtunity to ask anything else. It was very strange....
 
Walking somewhere - the person in front of me moves to his left,I move to my right.Then he moves to the right,I move to my left.

So you got a free sandwich?

That is quite a weird story. What did he look like? Was he normal looking or did he look like a potential serial killer.

Today I was feeling thirsty at work and then I had to speak to a lady whose surname was 'Drinkwater'.

When you get inside a movie theater and its a full house. You are searching for empty seats while about 200+ people are staring at you.
 
When you are watching a film with your parents, and some thing "inappropriate" is done. I still remember taking my parents to see "Wedding Crashers" :facepalm:
 
When you turn up late for a lecture and the only entrance is at the front, meaning you have to go in whilst everyone stares at you.
 
When you think you look so cool wearing high-heeled boots, and then you trip down the stairs.
 
Ah, that has happened to many times.


lolwut?

Yeah, I don't want to know. And why are you becoming a freshie? Stop hanging out with Looney. I say this because instead of "too", you have written "to" :haha. How is that for an awkward moment? When you realize you are becoming a freshiieeeee.

:))
Imagine if you trip in Public. :yk

Once, it was in public! To be more precise, it was at my Uni.

Mean girls laughed at me too :yk.

When you trip and fall even when you're NOT wearing high heels. I do this all the time. In fact, I'm quite talented...I somehow manage to fall up the stairs.
 
When you are running to class with your backpack on and everyone stares at you.
 
When you are gossiping about a girl in the washroom, and she is in one of the toilet stalls without you knowing :yk.

When guests arrive at your home, and you have to make an entrance and say hello.

When guests arrive, and your parents say, "VM, why aren't you talking to her? Talk to her. Show her your room. My VM is very shy and does not talk. Complete opposite of me she is. Look at me, I talk to everyone I meet and I don't know why she is like this." :facepalm:
 
When you mix urdu and punjabi and the person you're talking to pulls a face.

My mum does that all the time! It is soo annoying.
 
LOL

I get what you mean A. I feel so annoyed when my mom does that. GAH!
Life is tougher for girls :tanvir.

We are always in some awkward situation. :zoni
 
When your parents try to act cool in front of friends :facepalm:

:))

When your dad sings a Lady Gaga song in the car while driving you and your friends to school, trying to act all "cool" and "hip" (sadly, he does not know what the lyrics mean :facepalm:)

Him singing in a brown accent is highly entertaining though :yk.
 
^ That's why I don't allow my dad to drive when me and my friends are together :))
 
When someone you recognise from school/college suddenly comes on the train and recognises you but keeps quiet and resorts to the occasional glance, hoping to not make eye contact.
 
^ My mom and I are close. I told her I can't accept, and she understood.

Thankfully, my dad hates Facebook.
 
When your parents try to add you on Facebook.

My parents wanted to add me on FB too. I was like, "Aww man. I can't do that!"

You see, I have some very weird friends like AFFL :zoni

So, I just created another account and added them on there instead. Now, everyone is happy :D.
 
When you're sitting in a packed four wheel drive with 7 other guys your age and hear/smell something and look around suspiciously to find the culprit. He is never identified.

:))) :))) :)))


lol your parents are probably like "vhy does she have no friends?"

No wonder they think I am anti-social :yk

No man. I am quite chalaak :altaf. I added about 4 out-of-family friends on there (who I know are normal by parental standards), and the rest of the folks are all family aunties/uncles/bachays who were also bugging me to add them.

Everyone is kept in the dark this way. :zoni
 
When your friends meet your Dad and then later on ask you why he looks like Bin Laden. :|

You should've told them that your dad is Bin Laden :shahzaib

The moment when a much younger child beats you in something. I was genuinely beaten by a 10 year old in a game of FIFA. Tried to brush it off like I wasn't trying. BUT I WAS! :hafeez
 
when you apologize to your friend cuz you were eating while talking on the phone and he tells you that its no big deal as he is sitting on a toilet bowl bored and waiting...
 
The awkward moment when you meet someone and you go in for the handshake, whereas the other guy goes for the 'hug' meeting. In the end you look like an idiot for practically 'rejecting' his 'kind hello' and the other guy is equally as embarrassed
