Awkward moments...

So I'm leaving a party and there's this guy I know just coming so I shake hands with him as I walk past and his gf is trailing behind so I go to shake her hand but as I extend my hand I realise she's gone in for the cheek-kiss, I instinctively rear back a bit, she puts her hand out to shake while moving back herself, by which time I'm already putting my cheek in to receive the kiss and my hand is back firmly by my side. Possibly the most awkward moment in my life.
 
The whole office left early today....I decided to stick behind and have a snooze for a bit so I could accrue some extra hours and work less during the rest of the week. Nobody comes in past 4.30 so I thought I could snooze for an hour easy. I move 2 chairs together and proceed to dream.

30 minutes into a wonderful nap and I'm startled as my manager walks in as he has forgot his wallet and just realized as he got home.

The Awkward moment when you have to explain to your parents that you aren't going to work tomorrow because you got fired for sleeping.

Did not use the excuse that you were trying to gain better inception?

You got fired?
 
Meeting on Friday to review progress ...sounds ominous though :))

I'm guessing its not so easy to fire someone? Maybe disciplined a bit.
 
Lol this happened to me today. Basically was sitting on the bus next to a class mate who's a freshie .He opens cricinfo to check the score. He tried to pronounce Nigel Llongs name but the Nigel bit came out as the N word .The stares we got from black folk sitting all around us. I swear if stares could kill I would be dead .I spent the rest of the journey looking out the window avoiding eye contact in case it riled someone up.

I like making my white friends squirm when I have my African mates around and liberally throw the N word, knowing they won't mind.

Ahh racism, the source of so much hilarity and lols.

If survival movies have taught me anything, it is that you should have attached old cans of conserved food to a wire and placed it on the door.
 
You are eating outside, just to make your family laugh, you look in the direction of a German girl sitting at the next table, and just when she looks away, you utter in Punjabi, "Ajj kalli vey´n?" ("Are you alone today?"). A Pakistani standing outside the gents´ toilet give you a laugh, you do so in return as well, pat yourself on the back that even he found it funny.

But,.... the awkward moment arrives when he goes on to sit with her at the same table, suddenly making you realise that he is actually the very same girl´s boyfriend. An even more awkward moment when whilst leaving, you are trying your best to avoid looking at him in return as he gives you a smile.

Phew!
 
That awkward moment when you go streaking- as you do every Thursday- and you just know that you've got something stuck in your teeth because everybody is staring at you. Happens every time.
 
Right so am at UNI and going to the lecture theatre, girl in front hold the door for me I say thanks you, happens again I say cheers then next door another thank you and then I realise if she's going to same room we have another 4-5 to go so I slow down pretending to use my phone, until I meet her outside the theatre queue as she says you didn't have to thank me every time

Was watching true detective and my dad came home so I hit pause just as it was going into a sex scene( thought I was hitting stop).

Anyways go out and help him get bags out of the car, come back in the living room to see a blurred image of a sex scene frozen on the tv. He looks at me in disgust, mutters something about needing to get married and I stand in silence.

I quickly explain its a tv show and not what he thinks and casually divert the topic to how Hollywood is ruining tv shows by making them unsuitable for families.

I think he believes me.

Anyways hes in Pakistan visiting family now and im getting married to my cousin.

:))) I swear I do this EXACT same thing at work.

Similar scenarios - endless doors and it gets awkward to keep muttering variations of the word thanks.
 
When you decide to hold the door for someone who is quite a fair distance away and so you can't just push the door with the right speed and still allow them to walk straight in.

They approach the door but because their eyes are diverted downwards, they don't notice you and change their path to open another door.

So bloody rude...
 
When you sing very loud outside, only to open your eyes to realise that everyone on the street has taken you to be a beggar/entertainer and are looking for the bowl to throw in the cents. And then you sheepishly walk away as many stare at you. Extremely awkward!
 
When you come across a Pathan and he starts speaking Pushto with you,presuming you a Pathan and you just stare at his face..Actually half of my family looks like Pathan but we are not really,and this sort of incidences befall to my brothers quite often,whenever any Pathan watches them in college he starts speaking in Pushto and asks are you Yousufzai etc and when they don't believe you are Punjabi then my brother has to speak in Punjabi to assure them..
 
Awkward moment when you take out loads of cash from a cash machine and everyone starts staring at you and you feel threatened. To top it all off, your car doesn't start because of all the ramming it's given to get the cash machine free and open, so you have to run home.

Akward moment you finally realise you are truly besharam and nothing can make you feel akward again.

Lol gotta hate that.
 
That awkward moment when you spank your girl's gorgeously sculpted behind and it turns out it is someone else's gorgeously sculpted behind.

Kids, spanking strangers is wrong. (Did I do good, mods?)
 
When you tell your best friend you want to date his sister and he's cool with it because better you than anyone else.

A phainty from him wouldn't have been as awkward, eh? Is it like a dog chasing a car and then not knowing what to do with it once the car stops? Plot twist? :yk

Pretty much. I've fancied her for a long time now but never developed the guts to tell him.

I got a positive signal from her lately which boosted my confidence. Still expected him to take it negatively but he put me off with his reaction.

The awkward moment you hear the Windies Anthem before today's match and get it stuck in your head...which keeps repeating in your head...namely the part that goes 'this Carribean Nation is rising fast'...in a Jamaican accent
 
You are watching a TV serial on ARY Digital ('Pyare Afzal') with your family, and the guy´s father, an extremely old man, goes on to say, "Son, your mother is of a lot of use to me."

Very, very awkward! I mean, there are better ways of praising one´s wife, especially talking to one´s son.

I had to face a similar situation but thankfully I was on PP during that time. I started acting like I didn't hear/see anything.:amir

For a reason, this one is very famous in my family. Everyone at home can't resist a chuckle whenever its name is mentioned.

Were you watching it as well? Good to have a witness, then.
 
Awkward moment when you say something bad about your Professor and he is standing just behind you hearing everything you said.I am screwed now..:(
 
This thread is a great laugh. Love it. Here's my most awkward moment:

I go over to chat with my friend who works at an info desk in uni. He starts showing me pics from a Halloween party, and asks me what I think of a certain girl in one of the pics. I answer nonchalantly. But he presses for more, so I quietly say she looks like a hooker (heavy makeup, revealing nurse dress etc.). His jaw drops and then I realize that the girl sitting beside him, working at the info desk, is the girl in the Halloween pic!! Ahhhhh. I apologize profusely and I'm lost for words beyond "sorry". I walk away shocked.

Fast forward 2 years later, not only is the Halloween girl in the same class as me, but we get placed in the same group for an assignment. Awkward!! But what a truly forgiving person she was. She didn't hold any grudges or ill-will, and we get along fine

This conversation between Mohammad Hafeez and Rameez Raja was dead awkward! I looked towards my brother, he looked towards me! Well summarised by Saj bhai in his above embedded tweet. A lot of hidden meanings for the interpretors out there I am afraid.

Lol. This.
 
Had the most awkward moment at the barbers yesterday...went for a haircut and it was empty bar 2 people already getting their haircuts, clearly almost finished. One of the barbers was just sitting their obviously waiting for a customer, I walk in and he jumps up and 'shows me' towards his seat, I ask/say if it's OK/I'll wait for the other guy as he normally cuts my hair...the dirty looks I got afterwards whilst waitingfor that other guy lol jeez.

I even found myself 'looking around glancing' at the guy just so I could give him those 'kind, it's nothing to do with you' looks lol


Also the awkward moment when your barber sees a hot girl outside and (throughout the haircut) goes to the window several times to get his 'glances' lol as well as randomly bursting into 'bouts of ball-room dancing' but those are different matters lol
 
:))

Your local barber sounds legendary.

The awkward moment where you've worked long enough in a conservative Mid-East environment that the next meeting you attend in Australia, you only shake hands with the men, and completely ignore the women.
 
When a well endowed women sitting across you on the train smiles at you; you smile back only to notice the gigantic adams apple.

:yk2
 
Being a red head sucks especially when im abroad. When i was like 10 we were in Portugal on holidays and every street i walked down i got stared like i was some kind of zoo animal. That and having to use factor 50 sun cream and staying white in a country full of tanned people is pretty annoying....

Yeah, I guess looking like Sheamus would be very awkward.
 
The awkward moment you open the ice cream tub in the freezer at home and see it's filled not with ice cream but with your mum's chopped frozen spinach...that hurts man, it hurts #Deception
 
The awkward moment when a user accepts an infraction nicely but his message ends with.....

"Hugs and kisses."

You are left to ponder for ages!
 
Okay this was awkward. You are having a Twitter conversation with an elderly person and just one little miss, that one letter changes the Urdu phrase from......

"This is called killing confidence"......

..... to doing 'something else' with confidence.

I am one hundred percent sure that it´s a typo, given how decent that person is.

The awkward moment when you end up saying "Shukriya baji" to a German waitress:facepalm:.
 
The teacher asked us to find the area and I found out the perimeter.:facepalm:

It became even more embarrassing because of the fact that I was so confident that I said it aloud.

I said "love u" to one few weeks ago. I am glad I am a regular and she is kind of a friend so it went all in laughs and she replied back in same otherwise would have been dead awkward, I had this habit from old times to say it after take care so it just came out automatically.
 
When you say salam to an elder and he/she doesn't hear. Its really awkward to repeat.
