People Talk About Awkward Situations That All of Us Can Relate To

Some embarrassing situations are just universal. You know what I’m talking about.

Getting rejected by a boy or a girl. Getting dumped in public at the Olive Garden during Homecoming…oh wait. maybe that was just me.

The point is, we can all relate to very awkward things that happen life. AskReddit users shared what they think are awkward situations that we can all relate to.

1. They’re not interested.

“Picking up on everyone being disinterested in what you’re saying and you’re totally bungling the story the longer it goes on as their disinterest rises.

You’re desperately trying to keep the narrative ball in the air and you know it’s all falling apart but your dumbfuck mouth just keeps talking as your dying dignity screams at you to shut the fuck up.”

2. What your name, again?

“When you’ve had multiple interactions with someone but you can’t remember their name but it’s gone too far to admit you’ve forgotten it so you just have to call them love or mate forever.”

3. A loud stomach.

“Having your stomach rumble in the middle of a quiet class or meeting.

Both in college, and at store meetings, my go – to cover-up strategy was to furiously flip through pages of notes to try and drown it out.”

4. No thank you.

“Someone trying to initiate a handshake after you’ve just washed your hands.

It’s either a few awkward seconds of quickly drying your hands on your jeans, or shaking their hand anyway and seeing the discomfort in their eyes.”

5. Never again.

“Watching a sex scene with your parents.

Visited my aunt and uncle seven years ago and we were hanging out watching TV. My uncle clicks through channels and stops on Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Within minutes it’s the shaved p*ssy party scene.

My aunt and uncle sit there in silence watching not saying anything until the scene is over while I sweat bullets. If you put an acorn between my butt cheeks I could have cracked it.

A few months ago I visit again. Uncle flips through channels. It’s Starship Troopers. Within minutes it’s a sex scene and the boobies are out.

I’m not visiting anymore.”

6. Other peoples’ parents are a drag.

“Being at a friends house as a kid and the friend’s mother starts yelling at your friend.

Being at a friends house as a kid and the friend’s father walks in only wearing underwear.”

7. Not you. Them!

“When you think someone waves at you so you wave back, but they were waving at someone behind you.”

8. Oh…thank you…

“The fake smile on your face when you receive a terrible gift.

Wanted the Smash Mouth CD with All Star on it when I was a kid. My aunt wound up getting me the Len CD with Steal My Sunshine on It. Apparently I hadn’t heard the song yet back then even though it was all over the radio. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. I faked a half smile.

Decades later I love Steal My Sunshine and I should have been happy.”

9. That’s no fun.

“Saying “hello” or “how are you” to somebody and getting 100% ignored.”

10. On a constant loop.

“When you are videochatting, start talking and because of the delay you interrupt each other all the time.

Stop talking, start again, interrupt the other one, stop talking.. Never ending story.”

11. I’ll see you later…oh…

“When you’re saying goodbye to someone, and then you both end up walking in the same direction.

Or when you turn and walk into a wall with people watching.”

12. Feels like an eternity.

“That walk down a long hallway toward each other where you’ve clearly seen the other person, but they’re too far away to say something, so you do the awkward look around until you get close enough to say “hey” and keep walking.”

13. What’s it gonna be?

“When you go for a hug but the other person goes for a handshake, so you start with a handshake but do a weird hug at the same time with your hands in each other’s crotches.”

14. We’ve all done it.

“Stalking someone on social media and accidentally liking a comment from months/years ago.”

15. Stay in the back.

“When you’re walking on a sidewalk with 2 other friends and you’re the person that does not fit so you have to stay behind them.”

16. Humiliation at its finest.

“When the server brings your food and says “enjoy your food” and starts walking away and you say back, “you too”.”

Yikes…a lot of these look pretty familiar, don’t they…?

Okay, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us some more awkward situations that we can all relate too.

Let’s keep this cringe-fest moving forward!

A Mom Cheers Up Walmart Employees With Her Hilarious Post-Its

If you think shopping at Walmart can be maddening, try working there. Especially in these trying times where stock is low and tension is high.

One photographer and mother attempted to show employees at her local Walmart their hard work under hazardous conditions was not unnoticed. Amy Cook is a mother of five who relies on the supercenter for groceries and other household supplies.

As a gesture of her appreciation for the extra work she saw Walmart employees put in to keep the store clean and operating, she made some hilarious post-it notes and brought them along on her shopping trip.

Went to Walmart this morning to fill the cupboards and freezer (also had some old guy behind me in line call me an idiot…

Posted by Amy Cook on Friday, 20 March 2020

Her post said this:

“Went to Walmart this morning to fill the cupboards and freezer (also had some old guy behind me in line call me an idiot under his breath knowing I would hear him so I promptly spun around and informed him that I have 5 children and was only buying a normal amount of GROCERIES)…and decided to spread some cheer and hopefully giggles in this stressful time.

My goal was to reach the stressed overworked employees and make them laugh especially with all of the horrible customers they have been dealing with and the exhausting back breaking labor they’ve been putting in to keep the shelves loaded as best they can. To all retail employees, we LOVE and appreciate you and hope for your health and safety! I hope you found these entertaining and not annoying.

Side note: If you saw these shopping I hope they made you laugh, please don’t run to Walmart just to find them…practice safety and stay home unless you need groceries. And WASH YO HANDS.

Thank you.”

She left her funny notes all around the store for the employees to find, and hopefully get to laugh and smile, at some point in their stressful days.

Posted by Amy Cook on Friday, 20 March 2020

She aimed to bring a little lightness to a new and often frightening situation.

Posted by Amy Cook on Friday, 20 March 2020

She even left some pop-culture references guaranteed to make even the most exhausted worker giggle, if only for a moment.

Posted by Amy Cook on Friday, 20 March 2020

Basically.

Posted by Amy Cook on Friday, 20 March 2020

I’m sure Amy’s notes cheered up employees, customers and anyone else who saw them. She didn’t post anything we weren’t already thinking!

Alright, now we want to hear from you! Which of these were your faves?

These Tweets Show the Frustration People Have Keeping Their Parents at Home Right Now

Did you think that this would be the time our worlds turned upside down like a terrifying version of Freaky Friday? Not only are we expected to make a roll of toilet stretch for a month, bake our own bread and homeschool our children, but we now have to ground our own parents.

If you’re having problems making mom and dad cancel their plans and stay in their rooms, you are not alone.

These 20 tweets show others feel your pain.

1. A WHAT Party?!?!

2. Rage-sobbing Is the First Step.

3. The Rats in the Sewer Will Appreciate their Increased Vitamin Intake.

4. The Birds Have Been Finding their Own Birdseed for Millions of Years.

5. Shut Down the Buffets!

16. Peter, Go Home.

17. Where Are We Meeting?

18. Why Won’t They Listen?

19. Maybe They Will Tire Themselves Out Trying to Open the Door.

20. Italy Knows.

All kidding aside, our parents and their friends are the most vulnerable people in our society right now, along with immunocompromised people. It’s imperative they take extra steps to protect their health.

So, if your parents are listening to you, keep trying.

They didn’t give up on us.

This Dad Serves up His Son’s Lunch Like They’re in a Fancy Restaurant

Some people just discover their calling in life…

Take dad and sommelier Jason Booth. After a few days of being away from the restaurant where he is employed and staying at home with the kids, he started to miss it.

So he thought of a creative way he could bring his beloved work home too.

Photo Credit: TikTok

Lunch for his toddler son Jonah became quite an elegant affair.

Inspired by the Netflix series Chef’s Table, Booth plated little Jonah’s meal before serving it to him.

Jonah also got to hear all the delicious details of his entree as if he was sitting in a fashionable, upscale restaurant.

He recorded the food festivities for TikTok.

@jasonrockford##Lunch service at L’Dad’s Chateau, where we ##quarantine with class. ##chefstable ##serverlife ##chefslife ##foodie ##quarantinelife ##restaurantlife ##food♬ Jazz Piano 88 – Cafe Music BGM channel

Booth also gives us the culinary lowdown on his Instagram account.

He posts,

“Today’s lunch included yesterday’s bread with peanut gelee and jam emulsion, orange one way, and twice-fried frijole reduction.”

Sounds fabulous.

One day, young Mr. Booth dined on a…

“vegetable quinoa (which is an ancient Grain-ger) of Bertie Botts One Flavor Bean, Corn-Elius Fudge, Sweet Potato, Basil-isk Feathers, Fresa Flames, and clouds of Wingardium Mozzarellioso.”

Wow. I’ll have what he’s having! But what do you think? World’s greatest dad or a bit of overkill?

A Father and Daughter Play a Cute Game on Twitter Every Month

Do you have any weird but sweet games you play with people in your family? I think most people do. Actor and writer Bridie Connell has one she plays with her dad.

It’s called “pinch and a punch, first day of the month” and they’ve been at it for 15 years now.

Neither one of them can say how it started, but it sure is adorable.

The First rule is… there are no rules!

That stunt probably went on her permanent record.

It sounds like a rather intense game.

Clearly, it’s an international game.

 

We know where this is headed…

This is NO upgrade!

We’re annoyed and impressed by her.

So something good DID come from this prank!

Bridie and her dad are truly committed to their game, driving other family members nuts and employing the airlines.

Having a special game with a parent or sibling is some of the best, most infuriating fun you can have. Have a wholesome game with family or a friend in play for years?

Tell us about it in the comments.

This Grandpa Secretly Hates Banana Bread but Ate Every Loaf From His Kids for 16 Years

If you’re a nice person, you’ve probably eaten something that you didn’t like just to be nice to the person who prepared it. But imagine doing that every single week for over 15 years. And it’s not just a food that you don’t like, it’s a food that you absolutely hate. You’d have to really deeply adore someone to make a sacrifice like that — and that’s exactly what one grandfather did.

This grandfather hates banana bread, but his children made him a loaf every week for many years, and he ate the whole thing every time. His granddaughter shared the story online.

The granddaughter wrote,

“Growing up, my mom and her siblings would make banana bread every week.

Literally every week since the first one of them learned how to make it, they started making banana bread – lo and behold though, they liked it with walnuts and they all knew their dad hated walnuts.”

The siblings made a special loaf of walnut-free banana bread for their dad.

“Nobody else was allowed to eat it because that was his banana bread, baked especially for him.”

This happened every… single… week!

“From middle school up until every last one of them moved out of the house.”

This spanned about 16 years and 835 loaves.

“And he always finished it.

He, without fail, ate the whole loaf of bread by himself.”

Cut to several years later. The siblings are adults now and they’re visiting home, and they start making the banana bread.

Their mom comes in and says,

“I don’t think he can handle eating one more slice of banana bread!”

Confused, the kids explain that their dad loves banana bread. But the mom (grandma) explains that, nope, he doesn’t.

Granddaughter reveals what mom tells them all…

“My grandfather loathed banana bread with every fiber of his being.

He just adored that his kids loved him enough to make him a special loaf of banana bread every week (and he didn’t have the heart to tell them that he couldn’t stand banana bread) and he was incredibly, utterly upset that my grandma told the kids his big secret.”

Honestly, this story is just the best. May this grandpa inspire us all to be a little kinder to each other and always keep in mind that “it’s the thought that counts.”

How Do You Translate Sci-Fi? Tumblr Provides Some Answers.

You’ve probably wondered how science-fiction translates across languages. Okay, maybe not like most people, but you’re thinking about it now, aren’t you?

This funny Tumblr thread thinks through this quandry and comes up with a hilarious conclusion to the galaxy-wide problem of how do you translate sci-fi.

This is certainly a puzzler…

Photo Credit: Tumblr

Okay, so maybe we’re not the most creative lot in the Universe(s).

Photo Credit: Tumblr

This IS  a problem.

German is scary.

Google Translate is not wrong here.

Surely, we are not alone on the high end of the dummy scale.

Photo Credit: Tumblr

Clearly, we would have to work together as a galaxy.

Photo Credit: Tumblr

I happen to like “Moon Moon.”

We really do need to start thinking hard on the practical implications. There’s a lot of software available for translation but it’s for this planet only. How short-sighted. We need to think about how to communicate with alien worlds. Of course, we’ll be the aliens to them…

What do you think? How do we rename everything on Earth to make it easier for our galactic neighbors to get around when they visit?
