At some point in our life, we’ve all had an awkward encounter with something or someone. While some
have an awkward situation every now and then, others have it almost every day. An awkward situation
might be uncomfortable but you can’t deny, it makes for a pretty good laugh later on. Here are some of
the most awkward situations that you’ve probably come across, at some point or the other.

especially if she’s bought it for you. The only
way out from this situation is to smile and
accept it graciously.
No matter how many times you’ve done this
before, it’s always an awkward topic to bring up.
It’s even more awkward when the discussion
begins because you literally need to plead your
case. How much is too much?
A Hug Or A Handshake
Most of us have been in the situation of not
knowing whether to hug the person we’re meeting
or just give a handshake. What you’re left with is an
awkward in-between that looks really spazzy.
Paying The Bill On The First Date
First dates can be either really good or really
bad. There is never an in-between! At the end of
the night, when it comes time to pay the bill, the
whole dance to figure out who’s paying is always
awkward.

work people.

To say you’ve never b**ched out a person you
don’t like, behind their back, would be a
complete lie. That being said, almost everyone
has gone through “talk about the devil” kinda
situation.
Pretty sure we’ve all texted the wrong person at
least once in our life. It gets a whole lot awkward
when you accidentally send the person a
screenshot of the same conversation, they had
with you.
birthday? It gets really awkward when they
actually end up calling you for their party and
you go; ‘oh, what for? Is it your birthday?
Hahaha….’ and then they say yes.
Speaking To Someone And Not
Knowing Who They Are
Is it deja vu, or do I really not remember you?
We’ve all had these long conversations with people
without knowing who the hell they are. You mostly
have the conversation because you’re guilty about
the fact that you forgot who they are.

someone without realising it.
you're in mid-chew and they expect answers to
things. And you do that lame little smile/grimace
