What are your favorite awkward moments?

I love witnessing people in the troes of awkwardness in all its finest glory. A great phenomenon that transcends space and time. Awkwardness is the most human experience possible

I miss you Silvio, take that Merkel you Europhile, Italy 1 Germany 0

I find it painfully easy to relate to Brian Cowen's body language in this clip.

Whenever I have an awkward moment that makes me cringe, I just think of Sally Field getting the Oscar and then I think my thing wasn't so bad :pac:

Bertie, the time he showed up in the yellow suit at some international event.

I really enjoy when you walk in the same path as somebody and you both go left then both go right then both go left again.
Then I say something like “are you trying to dance with me?”

Really makes my day

People holding the door for me while im a bit away and I then have to do that awkward run/shuffle to get to the door

Edit: and what's worse is if there's more than one door through the corridor and you have say thanks a few different ways for each door they hold for you.

"Thanks.......cheers......nice one.....sound"

Oh how we laugh

Only awkward for the interviewer because it's so obvious that they shouldn't need it pointed out. Sure who wouldn't want a go on Ivanka

Going for a meal with my In-laws is always super awkward but I love it. You see, the FIL is super picky and he's terrified of eating out but would never show it, so he always orders the strangest item from the menu and goes quiet and grumpy because it's not great and up to his expectations even though we could have told him he'd have hated it. It makes everyone super awkward but gives the best laugh afterwards.
Once he went into a hissy fit in a super fine fish restaurant in Howth because the Calamari weren't having the right temperature for him.

What a super anecdote.

trying to make a dramatic exit after a row, but you stumble on the way out or forget to bring your essentials with you, hence having to scurry back in.

Its hard to forget this one.

I used to work just off Oxford Street in London, in an office on Marlyebone High Street. A guy I was mad about said he worked in John Lewis on Oxford Street and said to me to call in after work. So i raced there after work, and he was texting about location etc to meet in the store.

I'd never been in John Lewis before and was more interested in his texts than surroundings.

So there I am in John Lewis. And as I am wandering about mensware and head stuck in phone as I try to navigate the guy in front, I go left, he goes same, I go right he goes same. Me , I say : oh sorry and look up and...... it's a mirror.

But I am in mensware and to what you are thinking next, yes he saw.

I happen to receive a VIP arriving at my work for meeting with boss. I've recently had a son and am in "aren't kid's great" zone. She's walking up the stairs ahead and as she turns on the landing, something about her bump and the maternity style blouse she has on causes my mind to short circuit to:

"So when is the baby due?"

"I'm not pregnant"

:eek:

Was on the Dart home late one night, lad was chatting away into his phone, letting everyone on the carriage know that the conversation he was having was with his amorous "girlfriend".

He nearly dropped the phone when it actually rang during his "conversation".

My personal favourite awkward moment is just immediately after emptying me tank into some lucky young wan and then she realises I'm pointing to her phone telling her to call herself a taxi

Even if you see the baby coming out there and then, never ever ever ask a women when is she due.

I like the one where the minister thinks someone is coming to take the scissors after the ribbon cutting.
