We've all been in that kind of moment. Feel free to post that awkward moment.

ALWAYS follow the AUP, and please don't rant over someone else's awkward moment.

Well, let us start:

I was in my Spanish class a year ago. Everyone was silent. All of a sudden, my stomach growled like it was being beat up. Every person in that room was looking directly at me and started laughing. I was EXTREMELY embarrassed.

Oh, and P.S., please, don't turn this into a Grind My Gears thread, this is only for those awkward moments.

That awkward moment when you fall asleep in a Taxi, and then get your head fingered by a really chunky hand..
 
UUU, another Puerto Rican 👍
Well I usually enjoy awkward moments since I'll end up laughing about them in the future, so why not laugh about them now. The most awkward moment I've ever had was talking to three girls in a party, I tried to start conversation, the music was extremely loud, they just stared at me (probably didnt hear me) so I tried to fake my friend was calling me but then he said "No, I dind't call you" Yeah... Pretty awkward
 
I actually have a plethora of awkward moments. For now I'll just say one, which happened this year and was mentioned in a thread that was foretold to be closed..


It was Valentine's Day, and I was in my Homeroom class. Then suddenly, a teacher came by with a rose in-hand and a formal bag in another. Overseeing such a sight was nothing to be noted, so I just continued on. But soon after, my name was called out, and the rose was placed in my hands. Immediately after some kids whispered out that I had a secret admirer. This was when I instantly disappear into a void in my consciousness. I couldn't wrap my mind in this event, this rose that bestowed to thou self. I imagined an entire network of possibilities. But intrusions from outside - hence the claims from classmates - pulled me out to reality and forced me to crackle, but not faint. However, I exerted all the power onto the rose, and snapped it in half. At the same time, what I expected of the rose vanished partially. From that moment on, I dropped into a point of mental despair and proceed to repair the destruction the best way I can, but my own strengths could not feed the stemless flower a brand new life. I was helpless. I wanted to die. I skimmed through the entire school day - ever so ridiculously serene - with the rose taped into one, hanging out through the zips of my backpack. I thought of telling someone, but I had no one close to me than no other than my sis. And even then, I couldn't help but the seconds from the scene glued into my head like paper suspended on a wall.

The following day, one of my friends did informed me of news of the rose (the friend is pretty trustworthy, so work with me here). It encompassed something very drastic and surprising: The rose came from no other than what I thought of the most. My crush. While a typical child would scream in happiness with this sort of information, I kinda wasn't. Instead, my mind leaped into a blaze of Feelings. It accustomed every little inkling of what I felt to my crush. Things like how cute she looked, how smart she was, how kind she was, and so forth. Each and every one was neatly in place. It was very hard to believe that this occurrence came to be. I have not thought of such a person like her to have feelings towards myself. It was particularly difficult to comprehend, yet the rose posed a newer threat: The threat of great affection between me and her.


I could say more, but I would go off-topic :p

If this is going to turn into another grind your gears single line spam fest, we're done already.

Last year's high school baseball tryouts. Run, and run, and run some more, then I had to run out into the hallway to a trash can, I think you see where this is going...

BLARRGHHHH!

Same thing for me when I was on my high schools soccer last year. But it happened to me on the field.
 
I'll use my most recent example. The awkward moment when you open the door and there's someone there that takes around two minutes to realize that you don't speak Japanese.

She spoke English really well by the way.

That reminds me of something. Last summer, I worked at a hostel in Toronto. One day, a customer checked in but didn't speak any English. She was French. I don't speak French. I had a quick look around for someone who spoke French (one of our guests helped me out from time to time, but she wasn't there).

I couldn't find any, but one of my co-workers spoke French. The problem is, he was asleep. I went and woke him up and he came out to help me with the customer. After he helped me, he went back to bed. Later on, the same girl came up to me and started speaking in English... Fluently. :ouch:

That was awkward. And annoying.
 
Awkward moment for my highschool friend:
Back in highschool we gave our friend that was on the wrestling team a Viagra pill before his match and told him it was a testosterone pill that would boost his strength and endurance lol. (For those that don't know you have to wear a spandex suit for wrestling) Three mins into the match he stands up because something is too stiff and he cant wrestle. Everyone is pointing and laughing and he had to forfeit. He was a good sport about it, and got us back pretty bad. I wish we had video phones back then.

When someone knows a lot about you, but you have no idea what their name is or can't remember when you met them. I'm terrible with names, but pretty good at identifying faces. Prepare to nod, smile, and nod some more!

You just hope they tell a story and refer to themselves in the third-person (which is awkward in and of itself), and then that light bulb above your head operates a bit more normally..."Well, it sure was nice seeing you again [name in which you thankfully dropped which would normally be so vacuous and obnoxious, but in this case you saved me from embarrassment or maybe you just played a mind game with me]"

...and then you can make a break for it.

This is the funniest story I've heard in a while 👍
 
That awkward moment when the kids at the school where you work discover Pokemon. And you feel like a very old hipster.
 
Awkward moment? Nothing beats that awkward silence when you reply to a bunch of people in a foreign language, until you realize you've misunderstood the question and you've just said that in fact, you are not a person.

Which reminds me of the awkward moment when I tried to tell a bunch of Germans that I had 'social studies' in school but end up saying I had lessons in Nazi Socialism.

Achtung!

(National) Socialism - Sozialismus
Social Studies - Gesellschaftskunde
 
OK, where to start? I was caught in bed with with my girlfriend when her mum came home from work early. She was 15 and I was 17 - didn't go down very well plus there was no getting out of that one!

...or the moment my ex-wife found out I was seeing her best friend...

Please folks, learn from my mistakes then point and laugh. It'll be better for you in the long run.

Hehe, haven't done that yet. I told someone that my face class was fun today.

Geschichte / Gesicht

History / Face
 
:lol: Sorry, my life hasn't been particularly 'sheltered' in such matters. I think I could fill this thread... but I won't. :sly:
 
Maybe that's why his hair was permanently sticking up... Just got a massive fright. :dopey:

Now that's awkward!
 
That awkward moment when you attempt to make a joke and no one gets it.
 
I've got another awkward moment, if you don't mind :sly:

I was in the passenger seat a couple of days ago, when me and my dear mother were at a red light. On the right lane of the road, a hipster person pulls up while singing (and acting :lol: ) to a song on the radio. I was in an awkward position when I saw him like that, but I was curious as to what he was singing. When I tuned the radio, he was singing "Eye of the Tiger". I laughed so hard I almost had a heart attack. My mom was like "What is wrong with you?", and I pointed to the guy who was still in his own world (or a concert for that matter). We were laughing the whole way, as another awkward moment has passed by us.
