I know what everyone loves laughing at… but hates experiencing. Falling down in front of a large crowd, making a move on a special someone when it’s not the right time, someone unexpectedly intruding on your “private time”, OR perhaps accidentally damaging your friend’s parked car… And the classic situation:
You ask someone: “How are you?”
Their response: “Good, How are you?”
Your response: “Good, How are you?”
What can be more memorable than an awkward situation?!?!
I, for one, have endured many awkward situations. But I have to say that I handle these situations pretty well; after all I have very little shame! I’ve text messaged very personal messages to the wrong people, I have said Hello to individuals who looked like my friends and were not, and I’ve forgotten names of people who I have been introduced to more than once! But nothing seems to top the time I spilled water all over my parent’s guests who flew in from Ghana. Not only were they soaked to the bone, but I also ruined their meals that my mom spent hours making. Disaster!! But on the bright side it could have been a lot worse; it could have been red wine! Now that would have been ten times more awkward!
Awkward moments… there is no real way to get out of them! What is your most awkward moment?
