No Matter How Cool You Are, These 12 Things Will Make You Feel Awkward AF
Cringeworthy moments ahead. But hey, that's life.
In a recent AskReddit thread, user MeinHertzBrennt asked other redditors to name life's most uncomfortable moments.
Here's the exact question, as posed by MeinHertzBrennt: "What situation is guaranteed to make you feel uncomfortable?"
1. The moment you realize you've said "Excuse me?" FIVE TIMES ALREADY
You just pray they weren't delivering devastating news.
2. The "So should I, like, stay...or what?" situation
You should probably just leave.
3. The "Don't quit your day job, dude" moment
Paging Dane Cook.
4. The ol' elephant fart in the room
Bonus awkward points if this happens in a car, cubicle, or other small, confined space.
5. The "awkward small talk" standoff
Just make up an excuse about your grandma dying and GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE.
6. The "It's SOOO funny!" trap
OMG so funny 🙄
7. The awkward 'never loan a friend money' lesson
"So were you ever planning on giving me that $5,000 back, or just nah?"
8. A public rejection. This is why the word "humiliated" was invented
Easy fix: Make all your proposals in public. That way, the humiliation factor of each individual proposal is significantly decreased.
9. The causally racist stranger
I'm a white guy, and I can confirm this happens. So. Uncomfortable.
10. Phone calls are recipes for so much uncomfortable pausing and shouting
*inner monologue* Wait, so do I talk now, or...oh shit, I missed my chance and now we're both talking at the same time...
11. When a coworker gets canned in front of you, all you can do is look on. It's like witnessing a car wreck
I'd love to hear both of these stories, though.
12. Walking out of a store empty-handed just makes everyone think you're a thief
So. Very. Uncomfortable.
