Uncomfortable Situations

    I was going to call this 'uncomfortable positions' until my brain stopped me.


    So I was playing a gig earlier, in a pub. Today was the Birmingham gay pride thingy, and so the pub was full of gay people.

    Went to the toilet about half way through, this bloke came up to me... words were exchanged, and winks given (from him). As he got closer, mumbling, I wanted to scream. Luckily my phone started ringing, giving me an excuse to GTFO of there; but it was horrendously uncomfortable for me.


    Typical, the first time I actually get chatted up/'hit on', it's by a bloke.




    So, what 'uncomfortable situations' have you been in recently?

    Did you get a hard on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    so if your phone had not rang you would have just gone for it in a case of weird politeness?

    In that case it would have become alot more uncomfortable for you.

    Yeah, I got his

    Theres a joke in here about a banjo,I'am just too polite though :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    The only real question is - if you decided to give him one, would you be courteous enough to give him a reach around?

    In the supermarket, and you meet someone you know in the first aislie. You have one of those awkward "how are you??? It's been so long!!!" conversations with them, then you move one....but you meet them again in EVERY SINGLE AISLE afterwards!!! Happened me today :o

    Good job the phone wasnt on vibrate. God knows where it would have ended up.

    Being in a long queue and you turn around and your ex(who you didn't exactly end on good terms with) is standing behind you.
    It's happened to me twice and i just wanted the ground to swallow me up.
    You couldn't leave cos it'd be pretty obvious, so you sorta say hello and hope to God you're not stuck there for twenty minutes.

    You can't get into a more uncomfortable situation than being in a Village People cover band.

    What about being a groupie for the Village People?

    Was in a shopping centre with the mother and we got into the elevator. Another woman was standing there. She was my dad's ex who caused my parents to divorce. Felt like the longest I have been in an elevator.

    Most uncomfortable/awkward situation ever!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    My first time of being chatted up was similar. Old Man sat in the seat opposite to me on the train, subtly starts winking and then all of a sudden he starts looking at my crotch. T'was a highly uncomfortable two hours (Cue jokes).
    My friends first and only time of his short lived band being aired was on a gay radio station too (Wonder what they did to get that)....:D

    What about talking about the Village People with a name that with one letter removed becomes "bummytom"?

    Bit of a situation with the neighbours over the past few days! Met my neighbours girlfiriend in the car park last week and she came over to me and started crying saying she was thought he was cheating on her.

    Bear in mind I don't really know said boyfriend except for the polite hellos when we meet every so often. I certainly don't know this girl but have seen her once or twice in public displays of affection with boyfriend on stairs. I listen politely to cheating rant then she asks for my phone number. Go into slight panic mode at this request and blurt out a random number. She then decides to call me so I can have her number! I am there with my phone in my hand and no call coming through. Some random guy answers her call- very awkward phase!!! Make excuses and leave.

    then start to pay attention to neighbour and have noticed over the past week - string of young men with backpacks leaving his appartment at early times in the morning (four over the last week!). Today said neighbour was knocking on my door so was hiding pretending not to be there.!

    ****!!!!

    You should have gone into the lift instead , and you wouldn't have bumped into her.

    If you're comfortable with your sexuality, the least you could've done is give him a handjob.

    That's what you get for wearing that Hooters t-shirt when you go out.

    An English person once asked me what time it was, and i replyed it was 19:16


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Hey Brummy Tom. What would you have done here? I was in a jacuzzi on my own and a guy comes in chatting away. He asks me have I been in to the steam room, to which I replied that it's a bit too hot and not really my thing. Then he was explaining to me that I could go in with him. He said I should go in and lie face down, close my eyes and relax.:eek: In hindsight I should have been suspicious when I saw he was wearing a red leather thong with a zipper on the front. Oh well, I'll know for next time.

    In 1933, I flicked the end of my cigarette out of the window of my taxi... out of the corner of my eye, I could have sworn that I saw it, by some freak of nature, fly in through an open office window of the Reichstag, that window suddenly getting so bright that it lit up the street now vanishing behind me as the taxi turned the corner...

    Awkward doesn't come close.

    Don't flatter yourself, I was shouting over at your friend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 852 ✭✭✭moonpurple


    in reply to OP, I was at the gay club and this guy clearly in the closet was in the toilet - to make him feel better i winked at him..it was uncomfortable though as he was dog ugly..I did not want him to jump on me:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 852 ✭✭✭moonpurple

    followed by an uncomfortable silence during the morning train commute

    as the english person knows as much about the date 1916 (and cares as much)

    as they do about borneo fertility superstitions:eek:

    Although you are correct about the average English person not knowing about or giving two shites about the Easter Rising.

    I went for a pint last night and the boozer was near empty. There were a duo playing music to a near empty pub and nobody was paying attention to them. After every song there was no applause. The few people there just wanted to have a quiet pint and were at the bar with our backs turned to them. It was very uncomfortable :D

    Hey brummy, same thing happened to me in a pub, the roisin dubh, when I was in college, apart from the person started touching themselves in the bathroom, rather vigorously :mad:

    I was meeting a girl there for the first time and well, do you tell her why you come out of the bathroom all dishevelled or not :p

    OP, do you like The Sound of Music? Fashion? Art? Have you been mistaken for gay before? If so you might be sending out the wrong signals... or you might be not as straight as you thought you were. Not a bad thing by any means, but worth considering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,416 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    You still haven't answered whether you were at the urinals or in a cubicle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    A few years back, I spotted one of my ex-girlfriends in a centrefold.

    My blood ran cold, I'm telling you.

    Sorry, didn't see that question. I was at neither, is the answer. There are 3 urinals and one cubicle in the toilet.

    My uncle had warned me about the clientèle last night, I saw this bloke at the urinal so I gave him a wide berth and headed over to the cubicle, but his mate was in there (which is when he came over).

    Which meant I didn't actually get to piss, and spent the next hour playing with my bladder ready to burst.

    Heh, I walked in on two people fúcking in a pub called Roisin Dubh/The Black Rose (a different one) once - weird
