Awkward Moments
Hey R.O guys! XD
Let me ask uz a question ==> Have you been in a very awkward moment? I have! Here's a list in fact, share yours any time! ;D Love to hear them!
1) I was randomly looking around the room in SOSE, and just when I looked around I caught a boy full on staring at me, he didn't turn away when I caught him staring at me! It was so uncomfortable that I turned away, I think I blushed LOL!
2) It felt awkward watching a tv show my parents watch alone... Cuz normally I would watch with them. My sister laughed at me when she caught me randoming watching it.
3) When you try to walk past a person and they block your way purposely, that happened to me like always and one day this random guy did this to me apparently knows my name!
4) When you realise people are looking at you alot and talking about you as they point at you.
Share yours now! 🙂

This is so relevant right now! I rocked up to an appointment today a little early. (About seven days early to be exact :[ )
It was super awks haha
S: "How are ya Pete?"
P: Yea good thanks. How are you?
S; I'm good, how about you?
ARRRRRRGH!
I completley forgot I was having housemates move in very shortly, one of them today, and I was relaxing in bed when I heard heaps of talking and noise out the front of my place. So I got up, half asleep in nothing but underwear so I could pop my head out the front door and see what was going on. Yep, theres the new bloke... wanting to come inside... and also I hadnt cleaned the spare room yet and it was sort of becoming a dumping ground for when i couldnt be bothered sorting out my clothes, so just piles of clean washing in baskets hahaha. oops.
H: I'm sorry it has a weird taste
me: yeah it does... like dishwashing liquid
H: yeah tastes like that time I ate soap
We were both like, um...
Oh no Jay! That usually happens when my sister washes up. She never used to rinse off the soap, although it was usually only the glasses.
After my friend and I had finished her assessment, we left to catch our buses home, walked around the corner of the building and there was a guy, it scared the crap out of us and then the next think I know, I am laying flat, on the ground in the garden bed. My friend described it as planking. Such a crack up! Hahaha. Neither of us know how it happened. Still pulling stuff out of my jumper. But worst of all, I was wearing a skirt today. Good thing I always wear bike pants underneath. We still can't stop laughing about it.
Ohhhh I love the double how are you, when you dont know whether to laugh straight away or run with it
Or even better is when someone says "Hi" and you reply with "Good thanks"
Hahahaha, when you both have obviously noticed too.. and you dont say anything
(You just wallow in shame whilst still pretending you didnt do it/arent wallowing in shame)
Awkward moment for today:
My gf's neighbour had a heart attack last night infront of her.
So this morning i text her "bae you alright from the trauma?"
Get a reply from my mum.
was possibly the worst. LOL
The awkward moment when your car breaks down in the red rooster drive through.
or
when it's your job to get everyone's lunches at work and you get everyone the wrong things
When I go and pick my housemate up from Kmart, but I'm actually at the wrong Kmart.
"I'm waiting, I can't see you"
"I'm in my car, I'll wave"
"I can't see you anywhere, come and meet me"
So I stand alone outside kmart for 10 minutes...
@KitKat I used to work in retail/customer service and once I went to the self serve at Coles, I scanned the items and my friend went to put his card through and I said "would you like any cash out?" had lots of strange looks. I also went to the supermarket once and said "would like a bag" to the cashier... luckly they thought I said "i dont need a bag" or they just thought i was a weirdo and pretended not to hear me.
That awkward moment you're at the bus stop and overhear two teenagers talking about the bus route without them realising that when you reach the end of the route it usually goes in reverse. So the whole time they were saying "Oh yeah it's last" but it was acutally first.
I have two awkward RO-worthy moments this week.
1. I went to work with no shoes on! So awkward! I don't drive in heels so I always take them off before I get in the car, except yesterday I put them down on the ground while I packed my lunch and then I left them then without realising! I had to spend all day in the office with just my socks on.
2. I fell out a car! My friend has a two-door so you have to put the drivers seat forward to get out. My friend got out of the backseat and her seatbalt didn't retract. When I got out afterwards my foot got tangled in her seatbelt and I fell out. Scrapped up all my knees badly but my friends caught my arms so luckily I didn't headbutt the road!
My last two days of work at my old job and I'm having such bad luck! Haha. I think it's a sign that they don't want me to leave.
1. I get into a bit of a pattern of serving customers, "hi, how are you?", "have you got a rewards card?", "Thank you, have a great day". On occasions I have been known to greet people with "have a great day" and have been known to say goodbye to people with "how are you". Just a tad awkward.
or
2. When I greet someone but they don't answer me, I never know if to say hello again or if they purposely ignored me. We HAVE to greet every customer when they come up to us so to counteract that one a little bit later on, I'll ask them how their day has been.
3. When a customer is talking to another person or is on their mobile phone it is really difficult to say hello to them. (note: please don't talk on your mobiles while going through check outs, it is really rude and infuriates us!).
@mischiefmanaged haha so true so true.
I usually just 'ignore' the customer if they are on their phone unless they directly attempt conversation. But at work, I can't say "good thank-you, and you?" or something along those lines. So sometimes someone will say "have a good night" and I'll reply "enjoy your night/evening"...
