I was talking to a new friend I made about some of the teachers, I said "the english teacher's such a b**ch! my entire class f***ing hates her so we shoved her in a cupboard and ran out." of course my new friend had to be the teacher's daughter with a different sir-name and then she called me a whore and said "why don't u just go f**k shit, b**ch?" luckily we got over it and are now best friends!!! that was a real awkard moment.

She clearly isn't a very good teacher.

Probably been mentioned, but my most common situation is walking into spider webs and flipping out. No-one else can see the spider web, just you randomly going *******.

Happened to me yesterday, this lady was giving me the strangest look as i was throwing my hands over my head to make sure nothing was there.

always akward when you bump into someone at the supermarket. have your little chat and then go in your seperate directions. you're always on the look out so you don't see them again.

It's awkward when you say bye to someone who you're like not really good friends with but then they're walking the same way as you.

The dreaded stop and chat.

Expertly avoided an awkward moment the other day. I saw a couple of girls I knew from waaaaay back in a bottle shop. Complete moles, but they just would have wanted to stop and chat, and I REALLY didn't feel like it. Anyway, I'm in the shop, I see them, they're looking at wine, I sneak behind them and then go wait in the beer cool room. I looked back out through the room (back past the six packs on display, so I was hidden), and I swear to god, they were there, looking at wine, for about 20 minutes. I was ****ing freezing, but it was worth it.

But inevitably you do, about ten minutes later outside Target (or some other store). Does the second encounter warrant any more words as you walk past? An acknowledging nod? Or just a blatant ignore?

Usually, it's a weird chuckle and a "cya mate" from both parties. Like 'what are the odds of running into each other, AGAIN!' I just flat out pretend I don't see them.

It's definatley the second encounter that is the awkward situation. what more is there to discuss?? but you can't just walk past them.

i hate the cringeworthy line "we've got to stop bumping into each other like this...."

 

[Normy132]

I just smile and keep walking. It's still awkward.

Bumping into a friend of a friend who you don't know that well in a shopping centre and they bail you up for a "hello how are you chat chat chat" and you rabbit on back at them while thinking "holy shite I can't remember your name".

or being with a friend and bumping into someone you haven't seen for years/don't know that well and same chat goes on and you feel terrible because you can't remember their name and you don't want them to know that and your friend is standing there like a shag on a rock as you can't introduce them. It's easier in a party situation as eventually someone will say their name.

Once years ago the girls in the office, me included, were looking out into the street and commenting on the guy waiting out the front, in a not very complimentary way, when "the new girl" popped her head around the office partition and said "who where?" then "OMG that's my husband". cringe.

 

[THRILLHO]

In situations where I'm going to a party where I will only know abou twenty percent of people there I always invoke the Seinfeld method of patting your head when caught in an awkward/boring conversation.

It always works.

When the ******** sitting at the desk next to mine keeps looking at my screen and sees that I am typing about him...

 

[NAUGHT5]

Saw this girl on the train today..

We're not great mates or anything, but she's nice and i'll talk to her if I see her.

Anyway we were sitting about 5 seats away from each other (so we just waved and smiled, too far away to have a conversation on a packed train) but she was right in my eye line. So the whole time I had to look left or right. In this situation it's almost impossible to just ignore that they are there, so every now and then I would just look in her direction. I think she was doing the same thing and a few times we caught eyes and just smiled.

After about half an hour she updated her status and I commented on it. That eased the awkwardness a little.

If your friend is on the ball they would introduce themselves and hopefully the other person will say their name. Unless something happens ala Seinfeld
