Awkward moments everyone can relate to
We all experience awkward moments in our lives. We might feel like we don't know what to do, we might wish we could just become invisible for a moment, and we might feel quite embarrassed some times. But these are normal situations in everyone's lives, whether we like it or not. From being ignored to awkward silences, in this gallery you'll find it all!
Click through and see how many of these awkward moments you can relate to.
Being ignored
When you wave or nod and smile at someone on the street and that person completely ignores you. Extra embarrassment points if someone else witnesses it.
Being excluded
When a person in a group is showing something on their cell phone but doesn't show you.
It's not you
When someone waves at the person behind you and you wave back, not realizing the person wasn't waving at you.
Oh snap
When everyone around you is talking but there's a silence right when you swear and everyone looks at you.
The dance
When you're in someone's path and you both "dance" left and right to get out of each other's way.
"Did you wet yourself?"
When you wash your hands and water splashes your crotch, and you come out of the toilet looking like an accident just happened.
Awkward eye contact
When you're looking at a crowd and someone makes eye contact with you and you feel like a stalker.
"Hello?"
When you're talking to a group of people and realize nobody is listening to what you're saying.
You trip and fall in public
This can be particularly embarrassing, depending on where it happens and who witnesses it.
"Could you repeat, please"
When you don't understand what someone is saying, ask them to repeat, and you still don't understand but pretend you do.
"Sorry, I'm on a call"
When you think someone is talking to you and you answer back, but they're wearing earbuds and are actually on the phone.
"Sorry, you were saying?"
When you get distracted and lose track of the conversation but pretend you're listening anyway. But then you answer something completely different to what was asked...
Here's your change and receipt
When you go shopping and get a handful of coins, bills, and a receipt at the checkout and you try to juggle it all with one hand.
You don't know the answer
When you're in class and the teacher asks you a question and you don't know the answer.
