That awkward moment when...

[The Funslinger]

... when you tell a joke or a funny anecdote and nobody laughs.

"Well... anyway, I thought it was pretty funny..."

That awkward moment when you show someone a hilarious video, and it is greeted with silence.

Your thought process as this happens:

Nobody's laughing... I hope they don't get impatient. Says "okay, wait for the good part, guys!"

Good part occurs. No laughter. You let out a nervous chuckle.

The video's going on and on. No laughter. Dear God, how could I ever have enjoyed this? I'm a fool! Abort! Abort!

I can never enjoy this video again...

That awkward moment when you're at a public library and the person next to you is watching porn

That awkward moment when you're watching porn in the public library, trying to get out a crafty one under the table, but are very put off by the person next to you who keeps glancing at you.

That awkward moment when you receive a court summons due to "abuse of library property, and indecent public exposure." The philistines...

Have a nice day!

 

[Fappy]

That awkward moment when you fart in court. >.>

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

The awkward moment when the majority of thickies I have the misfortune of knowing endlessly spout nonsense about the amount of 'awkward' moments they have in life on Facebook, and I have to spend the best part of half an hour explaining to them that rocks are not awkward, and that they don't have a cunting clue what awkward actually fucking means.

Edit: Just to pre-emptively counter your claims that I am a hypocrite, the awkwardness from this anecdote comes from the fact that nobody likes you when you educate them and inform them of their mistakes.

 

[Reginald the Butler]

That awkward moment when you find that a mudcrab has killed you in Oblivion. Lesson learned, never leave the game running while you go to the bathroom.

 

[Richardplex]

That awkward moment when your friend tells you ?brb? and is gone for 10 hours.

I knew a friend who was like "brb, kettles boiled!" over Teamspeak. He hasn't returned yet.
...He said that in January. 2011, but I have hope!

That awkward moment when you go to walk into someone, and you both step aside in the same direction to let the other go past, only to block each other again.

Even more awkward after the second or third time in a row.

Third? I wish - I've reached 7 before. Because you stop dodging at the same time they stop dodging, and then you both start side-stepping at the same time again, god...
Even worse when I'm running, and they are running in the other direction, we both try and move out of the way while continuing to run, and it turns into a game of chicken until one of stops and jumps into the nearby front garden. Then there's that bonus stage of awkwardness when we both jump into that same garden, with the house owner there. We can't escape, because we keep dodging into each other D:

That awkward moment when you fart in court. >.>

That awkwarder moment when they find out that you masturbate in court...
Moral of the story: Running is serious business.

 

[AbstractStream]

Somebody is waving and you wave back but realize they were waving to the person behind you.

That awkward moment when you've been ninja'd and have nothing else to say.

 

[CommanderL]

That akward moment when you vomit all over the check out chick whose number you just scored its was followed the the funny moment of some one sliping over it

 

[EHKOS]

That awkward moment when you go to take a piss in a public bathroom, and in the middle of it you realize there are no urinals....oops.

 

[Klopy]

That awkward moment when you tell the punchline to a joke and people nearby didn't know it was a joke.

'...Getting the blood off of your clown suit!'

 

[Master-Jedi]

That awkward moment when a Mormon guy come to the door and you want to run and hide but you think he saw you. Then you have to talk to him and lie and say you'll come to his church when you really are an atheist, only for him to see right through your lie and call you out on it.

 

[Hazzard]

That awkward moment when you are talking to someone and say off-hand about wales and all of a sudden your welsh friend is yelling at you for offending welsh people.

That awkward moment when you are talking to a girl and all of a sudden she starts bending over in front of you, and then gets back up again without warning, seeing you stare at her boobs.

When you talk to a girl in short shorts or busty girl with a low cut top and you can't help but stare.

That awkward moment when the last words a girl said to you before they moved away was that your a pedophile.

 

[2733]

when you fart silently and you're trying not to giggle.

when you joking tell someone who is nervous "I'm not going to eat you" and they freak out more or worse, seem disappointed.

when you are sparing with your crush at kickboxing class and she opens with a groin shot.

when you can't remember your new bosses name.

when you screw up simple math and someone has to correct you.

when you have a hard on and are called upon to perform the Heimlich maneuver. (unrelated I swear)

when the gal you used the Heimlich on doesn't notice.

 

[Swyftstar]

That awkward moment when you tell someone how annoying someone else is and that person comes by.

I just invite them in, leave the house by the back house and call the police and say I?m being burgled!

That awkward moment when you bump into someone you haven?t seen in ages, speak to them for two minutes and remember why you haven?t seen them in ages!

Even better: you stop moving alltogether, and they do it 2 more times anyway. Try it from now on, you'd be surprised how often people do that. I've begun saying "wel, thanks for the dance!" every time it happens.

OT: that awkward moment when... You're the only one who showed up for class.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The awkward moment when you talk to someone you know but haven't seen them for a while and you say Please to meet you.

I've done this, don't know how it happened. I was going to say haven't seen you in a while but please to meet you just came out. Everyone just laughed it of though.

That awkward moment when you notice that the daycare centre is in route 34 in Pokemon Heargold/Soulsilver.

Edit: Thought of some more.

The awkward moment when someone is calling your first name and you respond, only to discover they are calling someone who shares the same name as you.

The awkward moment when you pour a drink in the kitchen then for some reason throw the bottle cap in the bin rather then screwing it back on to the bottle.

The awkward moment when you see somebody that you met the day before and they remember your name but you've fogotten theirs. This is even more awkward when the name you have forgotten is female. (Also I do this sometimes, I don't mean to I'm just bad with names, I won't forget your face though. For some reason, I never forget a face.)

The awkward moment when you say goodbye to someone, then you both walk the same way.

The awkward moment when you go to write a text message, but accidently hit send before writing anything.

 

[Right Hook]

...you go to the handicap stall to do your business, come out, and see a handicapped person waiting.

Man, I don't think this has ever actually happened, it is a huge fear of mine though, if it happens I'll probably just say that the rest of the stalls were full when I came in and then run out crying.

 

[Scarim Coral]

When you're in a quiet room and your phone goes off.

When you enter into the public toliet and someone inside is having diarrhoea.
