  1. Is it probable for me personally to abide by anyone on Facebook?

    I know the contest is over, but I came across this site just now and thought it was hilarious! It also brought back a memory of a very awkward moment which -no joke- I had repressed until now. LOL. So, as a thanks for all the amusement, here’s my contribution just for shits n giggles:

    Our co-ed badminton team was practicing one day, when this really talented senior guy came over to help me out on my serve. Somehow, being an uncoordinated newb, the plastic part of my shoe caught on the gym floor, and as I fell forward, I tripped and completely lost balance just as he lunged forward to catch me. On instinct, while my head was bent toward the floor, my arms reached out in front of me to grab hold of something, but unfortunately, the first thing I grabbed happened to be his privates!! Worst part of it all, he was wearing his verrry flimsy gym shorts, and I felt EVERYTHING! We both stood there staring at each other unable to comprehend what had just happened, and he just had this goofy look on his face. I was so traumatized, that I meekly managed a “sorry,” turned around, and walked straight into the locker room. The most disturbing part is, he later asked me out to an event!!! (But I said no.)

    I know its past the deadline but oh well :D

    the most akwardest moment in my life (so far) was when we had the nurse come in our class & to talk bout sex & baby making which btw i’m a freshmen in HS. The nurse kept talking about oral sex & for some strange reason i decided to raise my hand & ask what was oral sex and the whole class stared at me like “i can’t believe she just asked that!” well she explained it to only me in front of the whole class with great detail i might add & yeahh…i shouldn’t have asked.

  5. April says:

    Haha this is WAY past deadline but here’s a random awkward moment I had not too long ago:

    My boyfriend was trying to persuade me (in the car) to let him carry me to the movie theaters. I kept insisting “no” because it was too embarrassing. And we kept arguing back and forth about it, until he stepped out of the car. I stepped out too, to avoid being carried. He yelled “STOP. DON’T MOVE.”

    There happened to be a black guy right there, completely confused and perhaps freaked out, saying “What?”

    i know the deadline past but i barely saw this and i wouldnt mind sharing and awkard story(:

    So it was the day after christmas i was at my cousin’s house with my siblings and my sister had the sudden urge for Starbucks. But none of my cousins or their friends wanted to drive so we walked like 3-4 long blocks over there. It was really cold so i walked really fast, i walked so up ahead that the sound of their voices were gone, i turned around and they just stopped and stared at me. Feeling extremely awkward i continued walking backwards and suddenly i stubbled into a bush, hitting a tree and fell with my butt planted into the bush. I just sat there stuck in the bushes while they stared for a few seconds before busting out laughing. XD

    i know the deadline already pasted but this is my first time seeing so whatever
    i’ll post anyway
    so there was this time i was talking to my guy friend on the stairs i was standing at the very top of the staircase and he was standing one step below so we were talking and talking and talking while my foot was playing with the edge of the stairs when all of a sudden i lost balance and i made a huge scene of falling because it felt like i was going to fall down the entire flight of stairs but i only fell one step leaving me shoulder to shoulder with my guy friend i had been talking to, there was such a long awkward pause after my fall that we couldn’t continue talking and headed in different directions.
    that was the funniest/ most awkward thing thats happened to me in a while.

    (Sorry for the awkwardness. I tried to keep the story as “G” as possible ^_^)

    I had invited the guy I liked to my house to study. We were both focusing very hard on our work. He had endless amounts of packets for his statistics class and I had tests for physics and calculus to study for. The room was really quiet and about 3 hours into studying and lots of soda, I really really had to use the restroom. Unfortunately, my house is made of very thin walls and anything and everything could be heard throughout the house. I was already subconscious that he could here me pee, but nature called. So I told him that I would be right back. Everything was going fine and continued doing my business. Oddly, a thought struck me. “My parents might be back soon. I better hurry and get back to my studies. I better speed up my business.” So, I was almost done peeing and suddenly… some air came out. “O.O” is exactly how I looked like. Thoughts like “did he hear?!”; “what do I do when I come out?!”; “should I say something?!”. I hurried and washed my hands. I came back, trying to be as suave as possible. I sat back down and 5 minutes had passed. He didn’t say anything, but eventually he busted up laughing. He knew =.=

    I was at this nearby clinic to fill out medical forms for a volunteer job at a hospital. Turns out my friend and his mom goes to the same clinic! I haven’t seen him for a while but we go way back. So I go in the doctors room for my check up and I do all the usual stuff like a blood test and all. The assistant gives me a container and tells me to go pee. A urine test?? The clinic is so small that my friend RICKY would see the container and the urine! So I tried my best to hide it with a paper towel but I think he saw it! Awkward T_T!

    I was going to a bar with my girlfriend one night.
    As we approached the doors, security carded us as we should.

    The insanely large security man began picking at my ID checking to see if its fake. As the silent seconds chugged by, I started feeling a bit nervous and intimidated. His mean-looking persona creates more anxiety. My mind goes completely blank.

    The man kept looking at me, and then at the ID.

    Security Man: “So how old are you?”
    Me: “Uhh, 21″
    *awkward pause*
    Security Man: “Again, how old are you?”
    Me: “tw-twenty one!”
    *longer awkward pause*
    Security Man: “You’re 22, bro.” Hands back ID.

    Ultimate fail.

    I went out to eat with a friend and we took a cab back to his house. His parents had left without telling us and the door was locked. He called his mom and she told us to go to one of the apartments upstairs where one of her friends was. My friend is a Korean, and so his mother’s friend is Korean too, but she only spoke Korean and so did her whole family. When we got there they brought us in and gave us a whole bowl of hot ramen. It was really bad manners to reject it but I was stuffed from dinner. I had to force it down and then they brought more food, but I couldn’t say no! The whole time was in awkward silence because we couldn’t communicate, though my friend knows Korean he didn’t know what to say because elder Asians can be kinda intimidating sometimes. They were like “here, eat” and I’m bowing my head saying thank you’s though I was about to be sick. His mom was stuck in traffic so we where there for hours which felt like an eternity. Later they took is to the living room where they all watched Korean dramas. I couldn’t understand anything but pretended to be really focused because it was too embarrassing to look at anyone. They had a son, about 25 years old who kept on shooting glances at the “non-Korean” in the room… meaning me. There was a very very long persisting silence…
    When we finally got back to my friend’s place I was quiet because the awkward feeling never left me. His mom kept on apologizing for putting me in that situation.

    the dining hall served a really weird dish that didn’t agree with my stomach. So i had some really bad smelling gas. Later that night my RA busted into my room because he thought i was smoking something.

    (I don’t see this posted so I’m trying to submit it again)

    lol..I know the deadline has past already but I just had to share my story ^_^ (its more of an embarrassing story but was still awkward..)

    it was during my sophmore year in highschool, the rip age where we all fall in love and are interested in the opposite sex, the time where every minute is crucial!!

    well this is where my story begins,

    One day, while walking with my love interest to his ride (his mother had to pick him up since he didn’t know how to yet), I was so oblivious to everything around me that I began to forget what I was doing. I was saying my good-byes and saying how I would be seeing him tomorrow when I made the biggest mistake of my life.

    While I had been trying to act kool by walking backwards and talking at the same time, I had not realized that I had backed up so much that my back was towards a tree (only a inch away from it). I actually did not know it until I swung forward and the tip of my noise touched the tree trunk. I was so embarrassed about it, but tried to play it kool and walked around it, making it seem as if nothing had gone wrong.

    I than began to contemplate if he had actually seen what had happened. I actually convinced myself that he would not had been able to see it, concidering how fast I had been able to avoid it and play if off. (Going through all the math equations and logic of our eye perceptions ^^)

    I did not think much about it until the very next day. I met up with him before class and guess what he asked me, “Um…my mom AND sister were wondering if you ran into a tree yesturday when they were picking me up after school? I did not see it but did it happed?”

    (What was I to say, I mean this was the guy I liked and it was so embarrassing, but I did not want to lie about it since BOTH his mom and sister had already seen it with their own eyes!)

    awkwardly I said..”um….*cough*..*looking at the ground now, scratching my head*..well,..kind of,..sort of,…I did not exactly run into the tree but yeah?…*hehe..sacarcastically*…*faking a laugh* ^^..

    all he said was..”Oh!”

    I mean that’s all that he had to say! I guess there was nothing else to say about it and concidering how awkward I was feeling right then. Thank goodness the bell rang for class to start! I guess I was glad to had been “SAVED BY THE BELL!!”

    This one time during college, there was a meteor shower really early in the morning like around 1 am, so I went outside to the lawn in front of my dorm to go watch. While I was waiting for the meteors to fly across the sky, I met this random girl from other dorm building who was also outside watching. We talked a little bit, but not much. I wasn’t really interested in talking to her. After a while, I was like “dang, it’s cold” cause it was like 1 am and we were outside. And then that random girl, the one I JUST MET like 20 minutes ago, decides to reach over and hold my hand. And I was thinking like “what the….” O_O i was really uncomfortable cause i just met her and she was HOLDING MY HAND. so i was like “oh…that’s warm” and then pulled my hand away. And then she sort of mumbled something and then held my hand AGAIN! And i was like O_O again. After a second or so, I was like “um…no, thanks.” and pulled my hand away again. After a little while, I was like “well i got to go now.” and left and went back into my dorm. O_O Awkward!!

    sorry for this really awkward story, not a funny awkward:

    i was sitting in starbucks the other day. and a guy that me and my friends were talking to randomly, brings up the topic of crackheads and heroin addicts. then he says “oh i know the difference cz my mom used to be a crackhead.” (long awkward silence) so then the guy keeps going about the differences and starts talking about how his mom used to smoke crack. so my friends says,” oh thats so sad. is she still using?”
    guy: “my moms dead” (awkwaaaaaaaaaard.)
