Awkward.
I was at work today just minding my own business when suddenly this customer started having this heated argument with whoever she was talking to on her phone, yelling obscenities and such and not caring who was around to hear her.
I uh... continued to mind my own business.
What are some awkward situations you've been in?
I remember I was in the Math tutoring section of my school because to me 1+1=4. Anyway, as if that wasn't awkward enough for me, outside the study area there was this woman (who had to at least be 40) talking to her mom about her 55 year old roommate who doesn't clean up after herself. This 40 year old woman lives with the 55 year old and her own daughter (who also has a daughter) and she was very loudly complaining about how troutty her roommate is and how poor choices made by that woman lead to her being 55 and living with a roommate. Huh.
Today I was standing next to a couple that kissed for 5 minutes while I waited for a train. They weren't even moving their lips like literally just lips sealed and touching with eyes closed. It was very...awwwkwarrrd.
Man, Pee-Wee Herman would totally pwn this thread.
That has to be this epic moment when another teacher is giving one hell of a serious lecture/scolding to her class. There was absolute slience from the kids as they listened in remorse and guilt while the teacher splits her guts out with her teachings. :serious:
I walked past that class....
My nose itched....
And I sneezed...
really loud...
In the middle of the serious and solomn lecture that is going on.....
Slience, even the teacher stopped talking....
Everyone turned their eyes and looked at me...
I walked past the class like in a split second....
There was a really short awkward slience...
After that, I heard laughter, loud laugthers from the kids that were having a serious and solomn lecture a few moments ago.
It was like the most awkward thing ever to happen!!! Way to ruin the atmosphere!!
goddammit christmas

It was pretty late and not many people were there, but I'm pretty sure that everyone in was was in the store heard her.
Not much later she came up to the register to check out. It was insanely awkward.
I work in a clothing store and I remember not long after I first started this couple came in and they were just looking through the jeans in my section, then the woman came over and asked "If I have bigger boobs, will I need a bigger size shirt?" (There are shirts in the denim bit too) so I said yes to her and carried on with what I was doing. Next thing, her boyfriend was calling her fat so she started throwing our clothes hangers at him. In the middle of the store.
I was actually scared for myself.
Well... in my first job I worked in a rundown movie theater so I have a ton of awkward moments.
Similar to Pike's story, we had a lady who would walk up and down the strip our theater was at and come in asking if she could use the phone. She was pretty quiet and demure but as soon as we let her use the phone she would call up her ex-husband and cuss him out and ask him how he liked to smurf his new whore of a girlfriend, along with more wonderful pleasantries. She came by at least once a week to do this...
I also had a time I went into a theater to do a temp check and found that a homeless lady had taken over the handicap space and had unfolded a huge blanket and had bottles placed everywhere like she was trying to set-up a ghetto seance. There was a moment of silence as we stared at each other, and then I slowly shut the door and told managment I wasn't going to do temp checks in theater 5 anymore...
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
COME COMMISERATE WITH ME ON HOW AWFUL THAT PLACE WAS
It sounds like she maybe went a little overboard, but people spanking their kids in public (usually) doesn't bother me. This would have, but I actually commend parents who discipline their children.
Think I've told you this story already, but we got a lot of weird customers when I worked in Mcdonalds, including a hobo with a cat in his bag, and a man who smelt so bad more than half the customers left when he came in.
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
everytime I got to wetherspoons there is a weird couple who are absolutely the definition of PDA making out for literally hours. like make-out, take a bite of food, make-out, take a drink, make-out etc and the guy gets up to order another drink with a sad look in his eyes because he can't wait to get back to the making out and she's the same sat in the corner all lusty-eyes in his direction
it's pretty awkward and uncomfortable and kinda puts me off my food and I try to arrange it so they are not in my line of sight so i can enjoy my poorly-cooked and overdone even when ordering rare steak
they keep popping up in my life tho, i saw them on a train platform and in the local shop and im very paranoid and think maybe theyre doing it on purpose to upset me
omg one time I said I love you to a guy friend totally platonically and I thought was obvious that it was platonic because well for one he is gay and it was pretty obvious even though I don't know if he was out of the closet yet at the time and his brother saw it and totally misunderstood and they invited me over the next day just to harass me about it and I wanted to die
