Finally! It took us a while to finish reading all 637 entries! It was a lot of reading but thank goodness we had some help, you see we didn’t want to ignore any entries so we made sure we read all of them. Thank you Alvina for the assistance! Here’s the link to the original contest page (link)
You guys sure are an awkward bunch! From the 637 entries we observed that they tend to have something to do with the following:
- Mistaken identity (race, gender, friend, family)
- Embarrassing love confessions
- Farts at inopportune moments
- Getting into the wrong car
- Witnessing making out or more…
- Falling asleep at inopportune moments
- Fobby parent mistakes
- Exposing body parts
Thank you for everyone that participated, all the stories were indeed awkward you should all be proud of yourself for that…I think. It was really difficult to pick only a few “winners” but we had to narrow it down to 3 so here they are!
Awkward Julia
I live in in a dorm on campus, and I wash my fruit in the bathroom because its closer than the kitchen. One day I was washing my apple, and as I was drying it off with a paper towel, I accidentally dropped it. The apple rolled into the handicap stall. The stall door is always closed and usually it’s hard to tell if someone is in there. So I thought most likely no one was in there, and I could just go get my apple. Then the apple rolled back to me. I paused. “I’m sorry,” I said. Then the girl answered, “It’s okay.” I left the bathroom ASAP and ended up not eating the apple.
Awkward Christine
I was in the airport a couple years ago, waiting in the lounge for a flight to Taiwan. Browsing YouTube, I found a clip that looked interesting: “Most Annoying Laugh Ever.” After the video loaded, a shrieking cackle emitted from the speakers–at ten times the expected volume. I frantically pressed the mute button repeatedly. Unfortunately, this not only failed to work, but it also succeeded in freezing my screen.. but not the audio. My next thought, by teenager instinct, was to escape the scene of the crime. I put my laptop down.. and ran for it. Tragically, I didn’t get very far. I was sprinting full force out of the room when –BAM!– …I ran into a glass door. I ended up enduring a nosebleed, being snickered at by a room full of evil gossiping Asians, and admiring the abstract, rather artistic-looking imprint my face left on the door. To top it all off, my dad marched up to the front desk to complain about their door, claiming it was.. too clean. Aaaawkward turtle.
Awkward E.Cho
One day I decided to take the stairs because I thought it’d be good way to incorporate more physical activity in my schedule. My class was on the 3rd floor so that mean I had to climb 3 flights of stairs– which was no biggie. As I was going up the stairs, I came across a huge crowd of people who were also heading towards the third floor. I wasn’t really watching where I was going so I ended up tripping–bumping into the person in front of me. Normally when you trip forward, you bump into their backpack…however, because I was a few steps behind the person (and the person was monstrously taller than I was), I found my face pressed against his butt.
It was really awkward when I apologized.

Lol! These were so funny! I especially liked the “Sniffing A guy’s underwear” one. Here’s an awkward moment- well…. more of an awkward day!
(I am a COMPLETE KLUTZ… just a warning!)
First day of High School and I am SO psyched! I don’t know anyone there, so maybe for once I won’t embarrass myself completely like I did at my old school, right? Ah, wishful thinking!
First period:
Our PE teacher is taking roll call and going over everything. “He’s really young, so he shouldn’t be half-blind or half-deaf like some of my old teachers,” I thought. He called out everyone’s name and got to mine. Mind you, I am sitting in the first row DIRECTLY in front of him. I say, as loudly as I can bring myself to speak, “Here!”. Unfortunately, it came out as more of a whisper and he had to repeat my name. So I raised my hand and tapped him. “I’m here!” I said. And again, he didn’t hear me. He marked me off as absent. All of a sudden, this guy I liked said “Coach! She’s right in front of you!” and I blushed like crazy. The only reason that kid knew my name was because we had talked a little before school. Coach looked at me and said. “Then why didn’t you say anything?!” all I could say was “I did!”. Well, at least he heard me that time.
Second Period:
Still a bit flustered from first period, I walk to my math class, having thanked Tim (the guy) for speaking up for me. I walk in the door, go to my seat, and sit down. The teacher, being very old, calls us up to get our sheets so he won’t have to move. I hear my name, so I get up and walk out of the aisle. And I trip on the first desk. Luckily, being the practiced klutz I am, I simply did the windmill with my arms, one leg behind me, and somehow managed to not connect with the floor. The class exploded with laughter as I got my paper and went back to my seat. Luckily, nothing happened until fourth period after that.
Fourth Period:
I was on my way to fourth, talking with Tim, when we encountered the stairs. I had never been a huge fan of stairs, and the fact I was a klutz didn’t make me much more confident. So while I was walking down the stairs, I looked at my feet, still talking to Tim. He had somehow gotten in front of me without me knowing it, and my shoes had somehow gotten untied… without me knowing that, either. I tripped, and landed on Tim, who then tripped down the stairs with me. Luckily, we were close enough to the first floor anyways, but we were both aching after that. Unfortunately, we had landed on the floor, him laying on top of me. Yeah… it took him a moment to figure out where his knee was. DX
Awwwwwkkkkkkwwwwaaaaaarrrrdddd!

I thought E. Cho’s story was rather awkward butt the others were quite amusing. hahahaha.Yay for awkward turtles!!! Cute pic of Phil and the awkward turtle. I didn’t know the awkward turtle can float in mid-air. I’m going to see if my awkward turtle does that…haha

#2 was sooo awkward, a definite winner. Cat’s are never awkward, they are brazen voyeurs. My cat consistantly drools when she’s happy and sticks her butt in your face (literally) for attention. She never seems awkward about it at all, but maybe I should get her a turtle anyway.

Yay! Honorable mention! Quite an honor. *bows*

I thought I’d share this lovely story just because I love it so much. So, despite being WAY past the deadline, here goes:
A couple of years ago at karate, the class was lined up in two lines practicing our punches. My Sensei walked along, telling us to lower our stances as he counted. He stopped in front of me and said, “Don’t…punch…my butt!” as part of his usual joking self. “Jeeze,” I thought, “I’m not THAT dumb.” Well apparently I am. He turned around to start his next set of counts, as soon as his voice sounded “ICHI!”, my fist connected with his left butt cheek. There was a long pause, he walked away, and started counting again. I just about died.
