that awkward moment when the woman you moved across the state of texas with, left your job of 7 years, all your friends, your lifelong home for... ends your relationship.. and you're stuck in the same house with her and her daughters until you can afford your own place...

I work for a consulting firm and a couple of years back was sent to a client site in another state (Texas).

My primary contact at that client site looked familiar and greeted me warmly, as if she knew me. I went along with it, smiling, friendly, asking how she's been, looking for a clue as to how I know her.

After all day meetings with her and other managers, she asked if I wanted to join her for dinner. At dinner we chatted about business, what there was to see in Dallas, you know, small talk.

She finally said "you don't remember do you?" and I sheepishly had to agree. So she smiled and started listing some of my 'distinguishing features' that are not visible when I'm clothed. Yeah, talk about awkward...

That awkward moment when you are in a job entervew that the person entervwing you gets up and you notice his barn door is open and he has NO clue.Yes,I did have this happen a long time ago.

twas a while ago....
 

I was starting work at a juvenile sex offender facility....
We were in the midst of orientation....where we were learning how to speak, behave and dress without causing sexual triggers in our charges....
I had just arrived and was getting situated in the very quiet orientation room....when my phone (which shouldve been off) rang....not only did it ring....it was located in my...ummm....."other" pocket....ok it was in my bra....and it was only too obvious to the 10 or so people in the room.....
very very awkward.....

when you are sending a sexually explicit note with mentions of (read, femmepacker) and send it to a guy who is a former co-worker and you are having lunch with him the next day, by accident.
Should I just compare equipment? haha. Maybe a little mortified.

Do I venture to say Priceless

lesson learned :/

hmm I seem to post here an awful lot.....
 

so....

my kiddo calls me all frantic with a spider emergency....Im still in jammies but I tell her I will be right there. Shes in walking distance but I figure no one will see me if I drive...... well.....

I live in a tiny town...very wee....and quiet...but yet...no sooner am I out the door and a car comes down the street...so I stay close to my car...and pretend Im going in the passenger side...the car passes I get in. My battery is DEAD.... so....I end up walking down the street...in my jammies...to help with the spider situation...and then of course back again.....
The things we do for our kids...seriously...

awkward for me........

needing your mom to show you how to post pics to facebook from your cell phone....

doh!

ohhh so awkward.....

when you get a text....and its a nice thoughtful one....but.....you have no idea who its from......

its always best to be polite...even when youre clueless....lol

ick ick ick
 

so....Im juicing...and with such you tend (or I tend) to pee more....so....

I was on the way to my new client's house...I dont like to use client's bathrooms if possible...its just me....

I stopped at McDs on my way...went in the bathroom and found only one stall was in operation. The girl in the only stall seemed to be wrapping it up....so I waited. When she came out, she went to the sink to wash her hands...I walked into the stall and.......lets suffice it to say....she did some nasties and I could NOT bring myself to use the bathroom right then...

Worst part is...I had to walk past her..still at the sink...and just leave...I felt bad since she had to be kinda mortified....but I had to find somewhere else to go potty!

My wife I was divorcing met the new girlfriend. Not a lot of conversation happened.

That awkward moment when you walk straight into a pole and give yourself a concussion.

so.......

I was coming out of Walmart...and I saw a grasshopper repeatedly jumping against the concrete building....as if he were trapped....
so I picked it up and....umm....told it Id find it some grass....(yes....I do this) All I could find was a tree in the parkinglot since the plaza is wicked big.....I put it carefully on the trunk and told him I was sorry it wasnt grass but it was the next best thing.....I suddenly heard a sound....and turned to see a familiar Walmart employee sitting RIGHT THERE......looking at me very strangely....
nts.... I really need to learn to look around a parking lot before doing....well.....anything...sigh

so.....

my mom and I went to our favorite thrift store....

as we are checking out my mom mentions to the cashier (whom she has always sworn has a crush on me...) that this was my last trip there as Im moving to NC....

as we are walking out the door....he asks if would be ok to get a hug....Im all for a hug...and we are on first name basis....

well......

the hug ended with him kissing my forehead.....just.....odd.....I really couldnt leave fast enough but my mother, of course, found other things she just HAD to look at.....meh

That awkward moment when you realize you are a sheep doing the same thing as everyone in the herd.....

Well....

I was coming home from bringing my daughter to stay with friends...

It was a long drive..

So...

I get back into town (finally) and...well...I'm still learning my way around. There was a cop in the middle of the street...and he's directing me to go past him. I stopped and asked him the quickest way to Patton Ave....he kinda looks at me...then I see a woman with her hands against the police car being arrested :|

I said...." well....I see your busy...nevermind!" and was on my way....

Yeah...I sooooo need a gps....

That awkward moment when you slather soap alllll over your hands to wash them, and THEN find out the water is off in your apartment building :|

Two in one day!!
 

So I'm laying in my bed...which is under the window...and suddenly I see a woman right outside it.

Hardly anyone goes past there so I was really surprised...THEN she cups her hands and presses her face against my window to look in!

I realized she was looking for someone else and told her she had the wrong apartment. Ummm something wrong with a door??

Good thing I wasn't nakkie.....sheesh...

am I the only one with awkward moments??
 

Only because there isn't a "What made you cringe today" thread.....

So, I'm in the lady's room at work...and my new boss walks in. Like new I.just.met.her.today. NEW.

She proceeds to..do her thing..and it becomes abundantly clear that she isn't just peeing :|

Not ONLY is she not just peeing...she wants to CONVERSE with me....while she is not just peeing. :|:|

I made a hasty retreat and oh MY I'm glad I won't be there much longer...bless it..

at 4am Friday morning...
 

That awkward moment when my roommate meets me in the livingroom and tries to present me something in his closed hand (while he's glaring at my dog who's curled up beside me and wearing his "donut" around his neck to prevent him from chewing his legs)...I look at rommie funny because I think he's trying to pull a joke ...roomie says TAKE IT...I respond No, is it alive? ...He says It used to be but Willy killed it!! Then he lays what used to be his Bluetooth in my lap...in several shredded pieces :| ...

We both look cross at my dog, who's looking very pathetic and sad, and I'm in total shock that the one dog out of "the three musketeers" that we could always trust had done such a thing. That awkward moment when you realize your dog has totally destroyed your roomie's expensive electronics...and in 8 years he has never done anything like that so you trusted him to be left out of his crate at night...AND you are the one that sent him to sleep with your roomie while you stayed up to watch TV....

Yeah....I'm still mortified and stressed that my "good little boy" would get me into such trouble.

No matter how sad my dog looked while wearing his "donut"...it didn't make me feel sorry for him...this is a dog that truly "knows better"....

Soo...

My client's grown daughter (she's my age) was on her way out the door I told her "be good!":blush:

I had spoken to my eldest today...and I always tell her to have fun and be good...

I did explain this to her lol

It was early morning...about 2am...I was getting up to go potty and was using my phone as a light...

well...I accidentally dialed my friend's number...luckily she works nights...otherwise I would've felt reallyyyy bad....

So....

my youngest had called me while I was checking out at the grocery store. I told her I'd call her right back. I didn't recognize the number she called from, but I figured it was her boyfriend's phone...

yeah...

I called back and "she" answers and I say "Hi baby!" and "she" says "huh? who's this??" And I'm like "Very funny! It's your favorite mother!" and she pauses and says "Ohh you must be Liz's mom!" :|

At this point I don't even want to admit to it...

I need to fix my ears...

I finally found THE perfect comforter set.....it has elephants on it, the colors suit my prefered palette (and the color paint I already have for my room) but...

Upon closer examination I see It's actually meant to be for kids....does that speak to my mentality??

Pfttt I'm getting it any way.

It's not fair...they get all the cool stuff...

When I realized the F in LMFAO wasn't for Fat. For years I thought the F was for fat. It was an awkward internal moment when I was realized I was just projecting.

Omg I've seen those boots and I love them! I want red lady bug ones....I will enjoy my comforter . No worries :) I LOVE elephants!

Lol I love this! I'm gonna mentally think it now

I was watching the Accountant with my client and her husband. There's a Jackson Pollack painting in the movie and I mentioned how I never cared for his work. My client looked shocked and asked how I could say that. "He's a wonderful person and a good friend." Of COURSE the one time I mention I don't like his art it's to someone who actually knows (knew?) him.

I don't care. His art looks like a bunch of pre schoolers got busy with some paint. I'm just not a fan of modern art. So sue me.

So..

I stopped for gas at a station I never go to...

The cashier calls me from the line in a fake British accent..so I tell him he does a pretty good impression. Then he tells me he's actually British.

Omg I was so embarrassed I went into some rant about him trying out for the Shakespeare in the park. I about died laughing in the parking lot. How do I do these things??

Awkward
 

That awkward moment when I look up and see an animal watching me through the window! Seriously this gives me the creeps and happens more than you would think.

What.... you were hoping to see some redhead or blonde gazing into yer windows:giggle:

(said in my best yenta accent)

Yep, nothing out here but me and the animals.
