Back in Freshmen year, I had this really good looking math teacher. I mistook him as a student on the first day of school, when I ALMOST attempted to make a conversation with him. But thankfully I didn’t. After a year of taking math with Mr. Good Looking, he left to open up his own business venture (Vegan restaurant). So I never saw Mr. Good Looking ever again. UNTIL one day, my friends and I came back from a tennis practice and we were sitting in a subway cart. My friend quickly spotted Mr. Good Looking sitting at the end of the cart. They kept making fun of me, saying how my lover boy is right over there. I was so embarrassed by them, and then he turned our way. My first instinct was to cover my face, and I had my tennis racket in my hand. Let’s just say I guess he can still see me through the linings of the racket. Epic fail. He started laughing and shook his hand. Talk about awkwardness.

There’s this guy who knows I like him; heck everyone knows.
Last week, I walked into a bubble tea place to purchase a gift card. The minute I walked in, the first person I saw was him [the one whom I liked]. I pretended that he wasn’t there; he and his friend did the same to me. While waiting in line, I looked up and saw my ex-boyfriend walk in. I was praying for the line to go faster!

Ok so one time I was sitting in the front seat of the car with my family and we had to wait at this stop sign. An old man was crossing the street and was taking a while. So my sister, sitting at the VERY back of the car, yells out “Hurry up Old Man!” just as a joke. The window just so happened to be open at that moment, that the guy heard. He looked at me, and I had this shocked looked on my face making it look like I just shouted out. So the guy smiled directly at me and started walking faster. My whole family started laughing at me because everyone knew that the man thought I shouted out loud and I just sat there feeling shocked and awkward…

This one time our family decided to go eat at this place in Rowland Heights and I was in dire need of having to go to the bathroom. I made my sister accompany me even though she didn’t have to go to the restroom. So she waited as I walked into my stall, telling me to hurry up. I saw that there was no toilet paper on the roll and sighed. Fantaaaaastic. So in attempt to humor myself and my sister, I decided to karate chop the next stall’s door, while screaming ‘hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!’
Lo and behold, an old asian lady is sitting there–white hair, her little feet not touching the ground might I add–staring and smiling at me going, “ohhhhhh….hello!” I’m fairly certain I stared in confusion/shock/embarassment for a couple seconds before muttering ‘sorry’ in as many languages as I could–chinese, taiwanese, english. etcetera. SO awkward.

Last summer I worked at a Blood drive. Me and my coworker were outside asking people to donate. We needed to go to the bathroom, so we went into the building where the blood drive was held, when we went into the public bathroom, we both went into the opposite end of the stalls. So in the stall, I heard continuous loud fart sounds, I started laughing because i knew it was my coworker since we were the only ones there. she said “it wouldn’t come out”….. Then both of us laughing hysterically coming out of the stall…thinking it was her and her thinking it was me, ….then a woman comes out of the stall in the between us… then..we realize….it was her.

One time me and my friend went to this guy friend’s house. He was showing us his apartment, we saw his housemates and everything. He and his whole housemates were korean. While in his room, the housemates shouted “Get them out of here” in korean. They assumed we were chinese. So my friend who came with me shouted back in korean, “Hello to you too” … awkward tension afterwards…
December 7, 2009 at 4:08 pm
At this Asian festival, I daringly decided to go up to this cute guy and tell him that I thought he was cute for my friends and I. He proceeded to ignore the hell out of me. I guess it was less awkward and more traumatizing. Anyway, I spent a few years thinking that Asian American guys are jerks, but… you guys have restored my faith in them, so thanks. :]

So a couple days ago, i was at the dentist getting my tooth capped. by the end of my appointment i really had to use the washroom. it was one of those small one person washroom where you had to wait for the person to be finished and the toilet faces the door. so as i got in, i turned around to locked the door, it was one of those old locks so i wasnt sure if it locked properly, so i twisted the doorknob to be sure. it seemed like it was locked. as soon as i pulled my sweats down and was about to sit down to do my business, the door opened! i quickly pulled my sweats back up, the patient (female) apologized and i closed the door. >.< UGH!!!!!!!!! total awkwardness afterwards!!!!

Awkward in chinese = “gan ga” 尴尬
lol anyways, i’m kinda known as the king of awkward moments…. here’s one from a year ago
freshman year chemistry lab, first day.
i had a friend from high school in that class so he was my lab partner. in the middle of things, he whispered to me “hey, that girl’s been staring and smiling at us ever since class started.” *points her out.
I replied “whoa, she totally reminds me of somebody from high school, i think i’ve seen her somewhere before. what’s her name again? katie something……”
then we both hear “Ryken”
I cried out in joy, “Katie Ryken! that’s right, she reminds me of Katie Ryken!”
she comes to us and tells me “I am Katie Ryken”
strangely we ended up helping her out in chemistry labs every time since.

Ok this just happened a few days ago. I work at GameStop and I was helping this older dude around his 40′s or 50′s out with his transactions he had grandkids or kids of his own already. At GameStop when we end a transaction we are required to tell everyone about the $500 gift card they could win if they take a survey about our customer service. I tell it to him and he says “If I win then I’ll use it to take you out to dinner” I explain to the guy that it’s a gift card for gamestop. He replies back “yea I know, but doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to take you out to dinner”
AKWARD TURTLES EVERYWHERE!!!

So one day when I was in a McDonalds and went to the bathroom to go relieve myself. When I got to the bathroom there was someone already in one stall, so I went and used the urinal right next to the stall. I guess the person didn’t know I was there and started making loud grunts. So then curiosity hit me and I wanted to see this person’s sneakers so I can pick him out when he is outside. (Don’t act like you don’t sometimes to it xD) But for some reason I guess he finally figured out I was in the room so he tried to look at my sneakers too….so when I looked to see his sneakers all I saw was his face looking at me. When I saw his face I got scared. Even though it was only a few seconds you can feel the awkwardness in the room. I didn’t know what to do, but for some reason I said “Hi” and quickly walked out of the bathroom.

My family and I decided to stop by the mall to do some Christmas shopping. We entered Macy’s to look around at some sale items. I swear, out of nowhere(!!), a strange guy came up to me and asked, “Would you like to be my girlfriend?” O__o
& to make it more awkward, my dad said to me (quite loudly): “Tell him you’ll walk around the mall with him for $20.” >__< uggh!

So once my parents’ friend was driving me to a restaraunt that is pretty far away. Keep in mind that she is at least 20 years older than me. She turned on the radio at the beginning of the ride, and the guy in the radio was talking about his career as a gay pornstar. He described in great detail his first gay experience and the first time he stripped for a gay audience. I sat in silence for the entire car ride (45 min to an hour) listening awkwardly to the guy talk about his success as a homosexual pornstar.

I had just gotten into Washington DC from San Francisco late in the evening when instead of dropping me off to my hotel, my boyfriend (who is Indian–I am Chinese-Korean so the perceived culture difference by his parents is inevitable) insisted that I go to his parents’ house and meet them. I begged otherwise given my tousled look and lack of sleep. But there at 11 PM I sat in their living room with his mother and father and him wringing his hands in desperate anxiety. They asked me various questions to size me up (they had frowned disapprovingly when they found out that I was summer interning with a large video game publisher but then noticeably perked up when they found that I was a biology undergrad now studying medicine) and about my family/beliefs with a lot of moments of silence. Suddenly, his older brother tries to sneak past when his mother calls him over loudly. He sits down and clearly does not want to be here. A few awkward moments to pause and she looks over at him incredulously and thumps him on the back: “Son, don’t you have any more questions for this girl? I’m running out here!” And then suddenly she turns and smiles sweetly at me.

I’m pretty close to my coworkers at work. They always make fun of my butt. -_-” One day as I was preparing to work on my patient, my coworker goes up to me and says nice bottoms; laughed, pointed and ran away. During the whole 10 minutes with my patient, he kept looking at my pants, then he finally understood it was my butt, how awkward right? but get this, he’s a modeling agent and asked if I would like to model for a new clothing line. How awkward!
December 7, 2009 at 1:55 am
I was walking home from school and i saw a girl who looked like one of my friends sitting outside one of the classrooms. In a really loud voice, I yelled “Hey! Why are you sitting there? Let’s walk home together.” The girl looked at me and started looking around to see if I was talking to someone else. I even went to the extent of waving to her to get my attention. After awhile, I squinted really hard to see that it wasn’t my friend at all. I’ve been yelling and waving at her for the past 5 minutes thinking that she was my friend.
December 7, 2009 at 12:54 am
Just saying, I’m not sure if this is hilarious or awkward to anyone else because, well, my life has been so awkward that… everything is… just… awkward.
One of my favorite college freshman stories began when my lovable but sometimes ridiculously air-headed roommate lost her onecard (a dark green school ID) one evening. We flipped our jungle of a room upside down, inside out, outside in. Couldn’t find it. We dug through our trash cans, and even opted to go dumpster diving at night with all of our building mates walking past, going in and out of the building. At one point, while my roommate was in the dumpster, she started screaming, “OH MY GOD OH MY GOD SOMETHING SMELLS LIKE POO POO!” I couldn’t stop laughing, which was bad because my cellphone was her only light source, and at that point I was curled up on the floor with it crying hysterically. After dumpster diving, she figured she should wash her clothes. We go down to the laundry room, she puts her clothes in the washer, closes the door and the suds start bubbling. For some reason, I glanced at the washer that her clothes were in. Saw a flash of green. I said, “Hey… Sia, is that…” She looked over and then BAM! Her onecard smacks itself face-side forward smack dab in the middle of the glass, her smiling ID photo silently mocking us. We just about died laughing at such a subtle but in-yo-face awkward moment.

One sunday i was in church and then all of a sudden i had one of the worst stomach aches i have ever felt. Most likely because the night before i like drank a whole cup of buffalo wild wing’s hottest hot sauce xD. While i was feeling the intense pain i was waiting in line for the bathroom and when i finally went in i basically did my business for about 15 minutes. Little did i know the fans in the bathrooms weren’t strong enough so my scent drifted from the bathroom all the way into the church and the people in line smelt it was complaining. By the time i got out, I had about 6 people stare at me like i was a demon and when i walked back to my parents they just busted out laughing and i could have sworn that the priest wanted to perform an exorcism… T.T

so I met this girl during my freshman orientation on the first week of college. for some odd reason, i really liked this girl that was in my orientation group. i felt the need to add her on facebook. we talked during our 2 days of orientation–so it wasn’t a stalker status facebook friend request lol. but it was more awkward because i liked her and i did not know if she liked me lol. later, i was waiting for her to add me on facebook because she haven’t replied in many days. so i mindlessly messaged her cheesy lines and funny stories. i even sent her some facebook gifts.
after a few days, i realized that the person i added was my sister in law. she had the same name as the girl in my orientation group. ( i did not know because her profile picture was hidden and she had the same name. i also forgot to check the networks. fml) anyways, the next time i saw her was the most AWKWARD feeling. me explaining it was even more weird…wow…

My older brother (24) and I (18) go into Toys R Us to buy a present for our little cousin’s birthday and at the entrance they had a “Memories for a Lifetime” booth where they take studio-like photos. The gentleman from the booth approached me and my brother and asked, “Are you eighteen or older?” My brother replies, “Yes.” He man continues, “Would you like to take some memorable photos and send them out to family members?” My brother waves and shakes his head no and politely says, “No thank you.” The man continues to be persistent and say, “O come on! It’ll make a good wedding photo one day. Take one with your girlfriend.” After a long deafening pause of silence, I correct the man saying, “Uhhh, this is my brother.” The poor man just stood there appalled as my brother and I walked away without saying a word more. As funny or awkward as this situation appeared to be, little did we know that this wasn’t the only time it would occur.

I had a crush on a girl for a while, we hardly know each other so I asked her to have valentines dinner, so we went to dinner and after dinner was over I went to pay the bill, but my debit card wouldn’t process, I got paid that day so I don’t know what was wrong. Awkward and embarassing enough I had to get her to pay the bill…turns out it was a weekend and checks only process on business days.

So….awkward turtle!
woohooo!
Last year during Thanksgiving, my family and friends were eating at a country club for Thanksgiving Dinner. As my two friends and I are getting pie at the dessert table, this middle-aged woman asks us for a favor. She continues to describe how her son had just moved into town and didn’t know anyone. She was wondering if we three could introduce ourselves to him. We were all very hesitant too, but the lady just stood around smiling, pressuring us to make the decision that would make her happy. Finally we agree to go, and she drags us to her table where there are 3 men, her son and his friend, who both happen to be in their mid twenties, while we were just teenagers. She waited for us to begin our introductions, so we eventually introduced our names…and ages. After about a minute of silence, my two friends and I just slowly inched away from the table and never looked back. It was the most awkward thing of our lives.

Me and some of my friends was having a study session at one of their houses. At one point, we really focused on our studying. But for some reason, the boyfriend/girlfriend of the group were sitting in bed, decided to “cuddle”. After a while, some giggling was heard and other noises came from the two.
Me and my other friends looked at each other, and silently walked out of the room, except for one. We looked back and saw the friend that stayed back, was staring intently at couple with a smile on his face. We didn’t know what to say, so we just walked out.
“How awkward..” was what was in all of our minds.
December 6, 2009 at 9:17 pm
So halfway through sophomore year of college I was living in the campus apartments, and I heard our friends next door got a new roomate. One night, there was a knock on our apartment and my apartmentmates screamed “Oh it’s our new neighbor!” Excitedly I decided to run out of my room and scream “IS HE CUTE?” quite loudly only to find out that the door was already open. He was in the doorway, along with the entirety of our apartments.
December 6, 2009 at 8:40 pm
I went home for the weekend. back at my dorm that week, I had made a list of things I still needed to bring to school, but when I went home I forgot to bring it. I was waiting on facebook for my roommate to log on. When my roommate Carol posted a new status, I commented and asked her to tell me what the things on the list were. Turns out, it was the wrong Carol and I commented on her status on accident! It was my friend from high school. Oops! That made me laugh.
December 6, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Before Thanksgiving break, my friends and I decided to have a Friendsgiving dinner together. We decided to take a group picture using the timer function on our digital cameras before heading off. I placed my camera on a wobbly plastic fork box (bad call) and my friend was planning to as well. I clicked the snap button, turned around, and heard my camera fall to the floor. The lens was bent too far, got stuck, and is no longer usable. Everyone was in shock and didn’t know what to say. My friend immediately said she’ll help me pay for it and I said it was okay. The whole room was silent. Someone mentioned about warranty and I told them I didn’t purchase one. The room grew silent again. I guess my face was completely red and looked like I was going to freak out. But I tried to laugh it off by saying “Haha how awkward…” Almost a minute of silent again, someone kind of chuckled uncomfortably, “Well way to end the great night guys… Great dinner though…”
December 6, 2009 at 8:00 pm
This happened in English class last year. We were discussing about a book in groups of 10 and I was so hungry that my stomach started to growl. I don’t know about you guys but when my stomach growls it sounds like farts. So the whole time we were discussing the book, my stomach was growling loudly. I thought drinking water would help but it made it worst, it growled even more loud. Everyone heard it and tried to figure out where the farting was coming from but they couldn’t because people were talking. Just when the discussion died down, my stomach decides to let out a BIG ,LONG, EXTREMELY LOUD GROWL and at that moment all eyes were on me… I could tell that in there minds they were thinking that I was the one farting all along… AWKWARD !

I spent a semester researching atmospheric and physical chemistry with a professor. We had weekly meetings to talk about our progress. However, the professor is insanely boring; the other student researchers and I are usually confused as to what he’s saying. After his little talk, he sat down and asked us about our vacation plans for Spring Break. No one answered. I had the sudden urge to do the “awkward turtle” with my hands. So I did. My professor asked me what I was doing. No one said anything. And we just sat there in silence for another one minute, at which, another girl started doing “awkward turkey” when the professor turned around.

During sophmore year, my World Studies teacher in 2nd period sent me to the counselors because I was registered in his 4th period class even though my schedule said that I had him for 2nd period. After I fixed my schedule I went back to class, but accidently walked into the ADJACENT classroom that I had World Geo when I was a freshman. I was like, “Ummmm WTF???” and kept insisting that I was in the right class in front of all the freshmans *awkward* (A running joke at my school is that the World Geo teacher and the World Studies teacher are the exact same person and that they can teleport instantly, making it look like there two people since they look so alike). Finally convinced of my error, I went to the CORRECT classroom.
Near the end of the period, I went out to go to the bathroom. Upon returning, I make the SAME mistake and went into the wrong classroom *super awkward*. I was ridiculed AGAIN by the puny freshman and the teacher and returned to the correct classroom.’

So i’m a wrestler and 2 years ago, our coach got us new singlets(those spandex stuff we wear). Buahahha. Anyways, I tend to be a fruity girl who wears fruity-colored panties. The day of a home meet, I was wearing a pair of rainbow striped ones. When it was my turn to wrestle, I was all pumped up and thought i was tough sh*t and everything! POW POW POW pinned the guy. Then when I walked back, all my teammates were like “good job, zebra.” I was soooooOOooO confused. Then my nicer teammate explained to me that the singlets were sheer and we were suppose to wear bikers under them. -__________-!! And then it all made sense! Even my coaches called me zebra! T_T!

In my grade 8 PE class, we had a sub. teacher one day and she didn’t know much about our school so we started playing volleyball like usual. Our large gym is used often by the senior students and they usually put in their own cds into the room with audio equipment. I guess the sub. thought it was just music we could listen to while we played so she played a cd. The song went something like this: “MOTHER F*CKING.. MOTHER F*CKER! YEAH! MOTHER F*CKIN’” and we all sort of paused and stood there awkwardly before the sub. realized what was playing and ran to stop the music.
Awkward…

(Names have been changed to protect the identify of those involved….although it seems I seem to play the fool in these situations.)
On Friday before biochem lecture started, I was chatting with my friend Ray. His neighbor Zack, who always sits next to Ray and was a while ago introduced to me, decided to join the conversation. It went something like this:
Zack: Hi, I’m sorry, what’s your name again?
Me: It’s Kim.
Zack: Hi Kim! Nice to meet you, I’m Zack.
Me: (Pause) I know. I remember.
(Ray bursts out in laughter)
Now the fact that I deliver these responses in basic monotone doesn’t seem to convince Zack that I have no ill intentions. The conversation continues.
Zack: So, where are you from? Were you born here?
Me: (Pause) Uh…I’m from California.
Zack: Oh, but what I mean to say is, where are your ancestors from?
Me: Taiwan
Zack: Oh yeah, I see. Taiwan, huh? What’s that like again?
Me: An island.
Zack: Right. What’s around it?
Me: (Pause) Water?
Looking back on this conversation, I realized that’s probably not the answer he was looking for. Oops, my bad.
But as luck would have it, the day was filled with yet another awkward conversation. Thank you, gods of simple misunderstandings.
This time, it takes place on a bus ride from the aforementioned lecture to another part of campus. My friends and I are talking about Panera.
Alice: You know what I really like at Panera? That Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich.
Me: Oh yeah? Is it that excellent?
Alice: Yeah, I eat it all the time!
Me: What’s in it?
Alice: Well there’s this green thing…I don’t really know what it is.
Me: (Pause) Vegetables?
Alice: Wow, Kim. You must think I’m stupid or something.
And all this happened in the short span of 3 hours.

when i was going into freshmen year (9th grade) i had to get a physical and the doctor was a women and while she was checking my “you knows”. she was asking me questions so i could feel comfortable. She asked me what i like to do and i was answering her question and like 1-2 mins after she touched my “you knows” she said “um did you know you could have pulled up your pants a minute ago”
OH! wait i have a better one! One night in 8th grade i was on the phone with my ex girl friend and my friend. At 1 am my ex girl friend had to go and i stayed on the phone with my friend. 2 hours later we were still on the phone and my girl friend’s dad called. He was very asian! he asked me general questions really loud and angry
“What is you’re name!?!”
“uhh…Leo Nguyen”
“What school do you go to!??!”
“uhh Odle middle school”
“How old are you?!?”
“14″(i think i was 13 or 14)
“YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO SEE MY DAUGHTER!”
“uhhh okay?”
“DON’T CALL HER ANYMORE!”
“uhh okay?”
“GOODBYE”
My friend was linked into the call so she heard everything too. That was pretty awkward for me haha

i work at a fast food restaurant that serves traditional australian food. one day, a man (about 60 years old) came up to me and orders his meal, emphasising on stuff like “good AUSSIE beef, with traditional AUSSIE gravy and fantastic AUSSIE fries cooked using AUSSIE potato”. half way as i was making the order, he goes, “i love asians.” (i’m the only asian person working there) and tells me how he always goes to this suburb where mostly asians live, to buy things. he then goes, “u chinese?” i’m like..”yeah.” and he goes on saying how he could tell by my clear skin, beautiful this beautiful that… finishing with “and that’s why australian men marry them!” i finally gave him his meal; before he left, he raised his arms in the air and shouted “whoooo!! get served by this lady — she’s asian!” and winked at me and gave me an air kiss and left….
to make matters worse, straight after he left, my manager came up and scolded me extremely loudly for flirting…….. (remember how i said the guy was 60 years old? >_>”)
this whole incident happened at a food court, and yes, there were ALOT of customers waiting at my restaurant waiting to buy food who witnessed this whole thing. my co workers, however, were in hysterics

I called my friend one time at 2 in the morning to sing a happy birthday song. The call went through, so I immediately started singing. When I finished, a guy answered back in Chinese, “你打錯電話啦!”. It was my dad. He got out of bed and walked to my room with the phone in his hand. He stood there in his pajamas for several minutes in silence. As he was turning around to walk back to his room, he told me that my singing would make birds and planes fall from the sky within a 10 mile radius.

At prom, everyone was dancing and having a good time. I spotted a friend of mine and decided to say “hi.” I only could see the back of her head, but her head shape looked the same so I assumed it was her. I silently danced towards her from behind and I wound up my arm. Once I got within range, I let it fly. I gave my friend a big slap on the butt. “HEY GIRL!” She turned around. IT WASN’T MY FRIEND. Strange thing was that she turned around smiling. UH___
December 6, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Well my life in general is awkward, so it was pretty tough to think of just one instance to post. But a few months ago, I was on my way to enter a building when I noticed a pretty cute guy was walking behind me. So, wanting to make a good impression and hopefully get to talk to him, I went to open the door for him. But for some reason, the door wouldn’t open, no matter how hard I pulled the handle. And so in the middle of my awkward struggle to open the darn door (by the way, the whole time he’s just standing there behind me), he comes up and says “um, here…” and with success, opens the door! — by pushing it. “Oh, ha ha… thanks…”

I was good friends with a boy since first grade because we were also neighbors. I would go over to his house to play and reciprocally, he would come over. We would exchange gifts. I drew us on drawings for homework. Eventually, I had a crush on him. As the years progressed, the crush faded. We were still within the same group of friends but did not talk to each other as much. Eighth grade graduation came along; then grad night at a golf club which we both didn’t go to. His friend messaged me on AIM that night asking me why I didn’t go to start the conversation. Then it lead to “Well, you know, [insert boy's name] wanted me to tell you that he has liked you for a long time.” Thanks for telling me after we graduate and wont see each other in high school.

To keep it short, sweet (kinda lol), and to the point…
I accidentally called my boyfriend by his bestfriend’s name infront of our friends, including his best friend. *super awkward galactic turtle*

In high school, I had to see the counselor during lunch time and it made me late for my 5th period class. So I got a note from the counselor, ran to my next class and sat down in back of the classroom. After a minute, I realized that I didn’t know anyone in the class… I was in the wrong classroom! I quietly got up and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

In my school, we have uniforms you see, so here i am wearing my kilt and polo shirt and i went in to talk to one of my male teachers. After I finished asking him a question, he called me back. I turned around to find him awkardly looking at me and looked like he wanted to say something but didnt know how to work it out. So i said “yeah…?” and he rubbed his forehead and exhaled a deep breath and said “I know this is really weird but the back of your kilt is flipped up….”
awkward…..

So this was recently in the summer. I was hanging out at my friend’s house while her boyfriend (now ex) was over too. They were in her brother’s room while i was playing some Tekken in her room. Three hours passed by and all i did was sit and play games. It wasn’t until she called me out to say goodbye to her boyfriend, who was leaving, that i actually got up. And the thing is, my underwear was rising a bit–NO, A LOT. I walked out of her room and into the kitchen and i don’t see anyone, so i assume that they’re both outside saying goodbye. Without thinking , i pick my wedgie–only, i don’t really pick it. I stuffed my hands INSIDE my pants and kind of bounce to try to get it out. it was what we call “AN ATOMIC WEDGIE”. Just when i’m in the middle of yanking my undies out of my crevices, her boyfriend WALKS OUT OF HER ROOM and stares at me. I stare back, with hands still in my pants. A full 5 seconds.
He walks away, and i swear i heard him mumble, “Wash your hands…”
embarrassingly awkward turtle :{

Today I woke up late. I had to rush through my morning so I wouldn’t be too late to church. When I got home my mom and I had lunch. She asked if I had gone to church wearing the clothes I had on and pointed to my chest. I left the really big “L” sticker on.

I was walking back to my dorm when I saw my friend who i really like. I smiled and waved. She also smiled and waved. Then she started running towards me. When she got close I asked, “Hey! How are you?” only to see her run past me. I turn around and see that she ran to give a hug to another person behind me. It turns out she saw him and was waving to him, not me. She never noticed or heard me. To make it worse, there was a group of people sitting on this bench and saw the whole thing. They were laughing their heads off. I stood there, awkward and embarrassed…

When i was a little kid i always thought this was really awkward! And, i was at the mall this weekend and it really reminded me of when i was a little kid.
If you were a asian little kid, your parents would always make you go to the malls and take pictures with Santa and you would have to stand in line for like an hour. What’s awkward is when you sit on that man’s lap and just stay still for the picture. and when you get older you understand that that’s not santa, and it could actually be a pedophile.. but your parents still make you take pictures with “santa” .. i always found that hella awkward.

I was having dinner at my Vietnamese boyfriend’s house with his family for the first time. We were all getting along fine. Then, his parents started expressing their feelings about how Korean women are the worst to date for various reasons. They had an extremely long list of why they dislike Korean women so much. However, they did say how they were happy that their son had found a nice, Vietnamese woman as his significant other. I’m not Vietnamese, I’m Korean………

Every morning we have to salute my Latin teacher and a bunch of us used to do the “Heil Hitler” thing last year. I randomly did it to my friend this year who was new. After I did, she gave me this look and said “…I’m Jewish.” Most awkward thing ever…

So this one time I had my caucasian friends come over to my house in high school. Everything was going fine until my dad came down to the basement; my dad does everything a FOB parent does, so keep that in mind. So he is minding his own business trying to find something at the desk in the basement. My friends and I are happily chatting until my dad lets out a big, loud, and wet fart. I was so embaressed and my friends kept silent. I responded to my dad with, “Dad!” He just kinda looked at me with a smile shrugged and said in his broken english, “Don’t Worry, it doesn’t smell.” My dad found what he was looking for and happily went upstairs and left the rest of us in complete awkward silence. It has been five years since the incident, and my friends and I still talk about that day whenever anyone farts.
