Awkward...

When people who don't speak English(or whatever language you happen to speak) start randomly repeating your name over and over again. It happens more often then you would think.
Well, there was that time I talked about my sex life, it was quite - I'm just messing with you. How the hell do you get into an awkward situation online? I'm there to kill 13 year old americans, not trade life stories.
I can't say I've really had any minus once back in Gmod when someone asked if Emz meant Emily and another guy said "no they're a gay guy, I can tell ^ ^" (yes they added the happy face at the end) and I informed them it meant my name was Emma and the guy who said I was a gay guy seemed rather ... disappointed. That's about as odd as it's been online for me.
A great way to make a room full of non-gamers (and some gamers) feel awkward:
Play Persona 3, and summon a persona. I find it hilarious to watch my friends and family's reactions when my character puts an evoker to his head and yells out UNICORN! or summons narcissist or some other half naked man. Well most of the reactions are: "I'm not even going to ask..."

Definitely some really awkward moments in WoW via ventrillo.
One time we were in a raid and a husband and wife who were apart across seas from each other decided to have a type of phone sex across vent in another channel. And one of the guys who had a ghost set up in the music channel accidentally moved his ghost into their channel. He then decided to mute everyone in the raid channel and shift the two having sex into the raid channel for everyone to hear.
Another case was our guild lead had a setup where instead of having a press to talk he just had his headset set up so that it would turn on when he talked. He put his headset down and was on the phone and he was talking to his sister which had problems with her husband and the conversation just went on and on. And there were great moments like "Sis don't worry if he doesn't man up I'm just going to take him out back into the woods and no one will ever see him again." Everyone in vent was dying of laughter after a period of awkward silence.
Another good moment, randomly during one of the bosses we had on farm in BT a healer pipes up on the mic and hes like yea sorry if you guys hear some ambiance on my mic, I'm in the bathroom with my laptop. And another guy is like, so do you pee standing or sitting down. And the guy responds, "Sitting down of course, so I can finger myself at the same time."

An awkward moment.
Let me see... I was about to join vent one time to hit up some halo PC with a few friends of mine.
I was watching a Ross Noble video and had my input switched to my sound card from last time (as I had been DJing for funsies). The last words in the video "I was actually convinced that I HAD A MAGIC ARSE!"
Yeah. THat took explaining after the four or five "Uh... What?"s

I was once playing an old school shooter with pretty bad graphics on a crap TV, and it was so murky that I couldn't see an enemy who was basically right in front of me. All my teammates who had already been taken out were like, "WTF?! HE WAS RIGHT THERE!" after I got killed.
Not my proudest moment.

Hmm
Probably when someone mispronounced my name to say (phonetically) ******-o.
I'm sure how they managed it, but they did.
A mixture between hilarity, awkwardness, and rage ensued, from me, me, and them respectively.

That's hilarious!TehCookie said:
I have to agree with the "foreign language player attempting to communicate". I used to play the Lost Planet EC demo before I had the game, and someone speaking a language I didn't know would always say something I couldn't understand. For example, I went for a rocket launcher on the map, and I heard him saying something along the lines of blah blah rocket launcher! blah blah rocket launcher! rocket launcher blah blah! I'm sure he was referring to the rocket launcher.
I can't remember if I took it, or if I let him have the rocket launcher. Awkward indeed!
I stopped paying too much attention to my chatbox when some chick in Runescape asked me about how big my dick was. When I was like 11 or 12... it's been years since I played, I quit shortly after that.
After that, I think the most awkward is more aggravating; I was playing Combat Arms and kicking major butt, which is great because I usually average around thrice as many deaths as kills. I had like 35 kills and 4 deaths. Banned for hacking. Freaking dicks, banning people just because they can actually play the game. I didn't hack. I wouldn't even if I knew how, unless I was playing with friends only, which isn't often.
EDIT: I was reading the other responses and saw this.

Well, they usually end up affecting other people. Especially in Sauerbraten when I decide to say something like, "Hey [name], let's have anal sex ^^". Hilarity ensues

I think the most awkward online moment I've ever had would be when I was playing WoW a few years back.
80 Priest, guild raiding VoA when my friends decided that now was the best time to talk about an incident when someone's girlfriend had been flirting with another guy and taking advantage of him. I simply just thought she was a *****.
It resulted in a 15 minute long caps-fest and probably the reason we wiped.
