List of Awkward Moments, Part 2

You guys submitted all kinds of awkward moments... so we thought we'd share some of the most excruciatingly awkward moments.

1. Goodbye oh wait... awkward

My favorite is "Well, goodbye, see you tomorrow! Oh you're walking in this direction too? Cool..." - Liquid_Pain_523

2. Why you shouldn't use the word "retarded"

One night I went to return my books to the library. I went with my friend. So on our way out we see this group of people who are laughing loudly, throwing things around, and acting downright obnoxious. It was rather late in the evening - 10 PM or so. So, the smartass that I usually am, I look at them and say in a somewhat loud voice: "Pffft! What a bunch of retards!"

My friend looks at me, blinking rapidly, and says: "Ummm... They are a bunch of retards..." I look more closely and what do you know! It's a group of mentally challenged people out for a walk with their supervisors... Oy... Let's just say, I walked very fast. Oh hell, I ran away from that library! - LonerB

3. The Sidewalk Shuffle

how about when you're walking and someone else is coming walking towards you and so you'd have to either sidestep left or right, but then you decide to sidestep left, but they also sidestep in that direction. and it's repeated, until it's like an awkward dance or until someone just stops and has to hold you down to keep you still so they can walk around you. - LLBean

4. Laughter then... silence

I have something that can be a bit weird, not really embarrassingly awkward, but still weird. Like, when you're with a big group of people, and then someone says something funny, and then everyone laughs, and stops at the same time. There's like...this moment where everyone is quiet, and trying to think of something to say, but everyone tends to stop laughing at the same time, and then there's silence. It's so weird. - discoxapples

5. Friendly Hellos at Intersection

How about when you're driving and you reach a red light, and you notice the you know the person beside you and you say hi. But don't make conversation. So you're both just waiting for the light to turn green.....and just sitting there - doLc3

6. Enjoy your Blunt

One time when I was with a few friends we needed something to roll a blunt with so we had our 18 year old friend go inside a gas station to get a blunt wrap and as the guy was ringing him up he said "Enjoy your blunt" and my friend, in a hurry and not realizing what he said to him he went "Ya you too". - Duke6932

We should create a site like FMyLife... but instead of how your life sucks, it would be about awkward moments. Haha what do you think?

ps got any more awkwardness for us?

I'm a fan of juvenile humor and your mom jokes. One day A co-worker was giving me crap on the mustache that I was trying to grow. He made some crack about it so I said "yeah, well , your mom grows a mustache" there was a second or two of silence before another co-worker told me that his mom had died about two years ago. I didn't know how to break the tension so I figured I would just push it farther... So I said "If your mom is dead then why is she growing facial hair?" I got some laughs, even from the guy, but I still felt bad none the less.

Haha, #3 happens to me a lot. I have an extension on #4-have you ever been laughing with some people, and everyone stops laughing at the same time, but for some reason you still find it hilarious and have to hold back your laughter as best as you can (because if you didn't, you would just be sitting there laughing by yourself while everyone looked at you, which is way awkward)? That happened to me last night...

Hmm... a pretty awkward moment I've had happened right after I got engaged. Some guy I didn't know very well started chatting with me about the proposal, my fiance, etc. Then he said "That's a really pretty ring too. I actually have a ring I bought for a girl I was going to marry once."
And so I said "Yeah, well at least she gave it back to you and didn't pawn it off or something" (thinking she'd dumped him/said no/etc.)And he replied,"Well, yeah, that was because she actually passed away."
... Awkward.

I agree for the site, that is amazing. :]

& Hmm, there aren't any awkward moments that come to mind. How about when you're sitting somewhere & you're staring at someone, but they're staring at you back, and then you both realize.

Ou, I just remembered one. :]

Having to sit on a 6 hour plane ride, after your sister told off the guy next to you. He asked where we lived, she told him it was none of his business and that we don't talk to strangers. She didn't have to sit next to him, I did.

There's a community where everyone shares their awkward stories on Live Journal. I forgot what it's called though...

#2 has happened to me, or something like that. I felt so terrible for saying it. :/ ahh .

I've had #3 happen to me, tons of time. It's like, every day routine for me. It's destined to happen to me, every single friggan day.

#5 Also happens on a everyday basis.

FML-AM. (: haha.

how about when you tell a joke and no one laughs, then your just sitting there trying to justify your joke to make it funny but its just not happening.

Another awkward moment: glancing at someone and seeing that they looked at you at the same time too, then wondering whether they were staring at you the whole time, or worse, if they thought YOU were staring at THEM the whole time. Then you make this huge conscious effort to not look in their direction at all, which makes it even more awkward.

Have no fear, the site you mentioned like fmylife for awkward moments DOES exist!
Check out www.whyamisoawkward.com
We're all awkward, so why not share it with one another? Our site has video and picture capabilities as well, because sometimes the most awkward dishes are best served visually.
Hope you enjoy the site!
