16 Painfully Awkward Moments Bound to Make You Cringe
#1
When people go for the cheek but they get the ear.
#2
This often happens after bumping into someone that you haven't seen in a while. Then you both suddenly realise that you have absolutely nothing to say.
#3
It is always a horrific moment when two parties speak at the same time. The only thing that's worse is the conversation that follows where one person has to wait whilst the other expresses their ‘more important' point
#4
Occasionally I feel sorry for the guys of the world. How do you know if you should go for a handshake, a hug, or even one of those badass versions of a combination of the two?
#5
This term is thrown around way too loosely for my liking and infuriates the hell out of me when not used in the right context. Take shop assistants for example, after you've bought something they insist on saying that they'll see you later. Sorry, when are you seeing me later? I didn't realise you were popping round for dinner. Oh wait you're not. Fuck off.
#6
After being rejected to go for a drink or exchange numbers, the failure must make a swift exit in the opposite direction.
#7
Guys and girls surely these never work. U and I are never going to be together, you cannot rearrange the alphabet.
#8
Dancing away using an old-school dance move like the lawn mower, supermarket trolley or if you're feeling really ballsy why not pull out the rope.
#9
When someone says something as you're walking away from each other and the other person doesn't hear. You are left with little option but to repeat yourself on a louder level. Everyone gets uncomfortable and you want to curl up in a ball and die.
#10
When you bump into someone you know, one person stops and the other rushes past saying they are in a rush. Ouch, you just made that guy look a right twat.
#11
When you see someone in a bar that you know, speak for two seconds, then they proceed to get a drink, telling you they'll catch up with you later. Everybody knows you will never see them again and they basically think you're a boring bastard.
#12
One kiss or two kisses? No one will ever know. For some unknown reason the last few years has seen a rise in the double kiss and it flummoxed the nation.
#13
When anyone puts their hand in the air they run the chance of being left hanging. This is fantastic to watch when you are the observer, but if you are the person who has to swiftly take that hand and tuck your hair behind your ear, it's up there with the worst feeling in the world.
#14
Up there with the most popular of awkward exchanges. When you go for a handshake but instead graze their crotch as the other goes for a kiss.
#15
Telling a joke that the other person doesn't get and they just stare at you, ouch.
#16
When someone asks a question that the other person doesn't want to answer the conversation results in an abrupt end. For example, when someone says "sorry to hear that your dog die" and your met with the response "sorry, i don't want to talk about it", awkward.
