Go down to the shore and smash it on a new boat. Do you drink at all?

Well, I won it on a cruise ship so it was already christened.
I said sorry I dont drink wine and they swapped it for a water bottle instead.

That awkward moment when...the security at your alma mater stops their truck and stares you down while you are taking pics of the chapel. Being the person I am, I just continue taking pictures...

That awkward and honestly confusing moment when you hear the woman in the changing room next to you say
"Wow! That looks so elegant! You look like you're going to a bar or something."

Whaaaaat?!

The awkward part? When you say that's what out loud. whoops!

Reminds me of the time I took a photo of myself in a fitting room to ask my friends if I should buy a particular dress (it was for a special event and I wasn't sure if the dress was appropriate). I didn't realise the sound was on, and the little girl next door asked her mom if someone was secretly taking a picture of her.

The awkward moment at work when you make conversation with someone from Nigeria to laugh when they're actually deadly serious about 'black magic' back home with people turning themselves in to birds, flying all night and then coming home in the morning.

The only Black Magic I know of is the crappy generic chocolates that Nestle stuff into a box and sell as 'gourmet' chocolate.

That awkward moment where you walk into the middle of a conversation and hear things that normally sound okay when used in a full sentence, but otherwise sound very naughty when you don't catch all that was said.

The awkward moment when your dad forgets his memory stick.

Especially when you already told him, dont forget your memory stick.

I love out of context akwardness!!!

That awkward moment when your boss stacks a palette of things eight feet high and tells you to take it somewhere and wrap in plastic to keep it stable. You move it half an inch and the front half of the palette falls to the floor right in the middle of the busiest alley in the back room.

EDIT: That awkward moment when two twentysomething girl customers come in and ask you if you 'use the plungers before you sell them'....

The awkward moment when you think a person would be interested in something but they aren't...actually they are only after your cash and expect to be paid for looking at whatever it is you are offering them as well, and you didn't know.

I think that just does my head in.

When you realize your elderly parent who used to be the epitome of proper decorum, has lost his/her filters.....worse if his/her hearing is also going and he/she says improper things very loudly.

 

[Squeakers]

That very awkward and embarrassing moment when you bend over to put something on the shelf and you pass gas...and realize someone was behind you.
