<p>this is for those of you who have moments where you look back and feel genuinly UNCOMFORTABLE thinking about them. for me, one of them is the time i was trying to be cool and spoke in third person to a group of people i had recently met. apparently one of them didnt know my name and was like "wait, whos molly? is she the one from china?" and i was all "dude....thats me...."</p>
<p>thats just one example. awkwardness counts. its okay, everyones awkward. share stories.</p>
<p>also, i would like to put it out there that i just figured out what APUSH is. its not a push. its ap us history. (our school doesnt have many APs...)</p>
<p>^^^ i just found out about APUSH too... we never called it that but i still feel stupid.</p>
<p>one time i was reading a current event aloud in government--- news is my specialty--- and i was talking about civil disobedience, sounding all smart and well-read, etc. and then i said "so one soldier who refused to go to iraq, claiming the war was illegal, has now been granted a... mistrial? haha, wonder what that is..." and i pronounced it miss-tree-ull. then some guy said really loudly "don't you mean... mis-trial?" </p>
<p>that would be me. one of my many faults is that i dont think before i open my mouth way too often</p>
<p>once i asked this professional who i was shadowing if shes on a diet
the sweet woman took it really well but now i get embarassed everytime i think back to how stupid that was of me</p>
<p>I have alot of awkward moments. But I try to block them out because I hate it when I remember one.
But the most common one is when I'm about to say something really important and everyone I'm about to say it to already knows it. Then I have to think of something else to say in that split second - i usually get this really flushed appearance when it happens.
bleh</p>
<p>I just had one a few minutes ago- I had to ask two teachers to write letters of recommendation for me. I'm already naturally shy, and I always get flustered when I have to ask someone for a really important favor. I stuttered like an idiot :-( Thankfully both of the teachers have known me for years so I'm sure they knew I was really nervous.</p>
<p>My friend's girlfriend and I were alone sitting next to each other in a car...talk about AWKWARD. I didn't know what to do so I pretended to fall asleep. LOL</p>
<p>The most awkward thing that has happened to me was probably, in eighth grade, when I went up to this random guy who was having an argument with his girlfriend outside of school because he looked like my friend from the back, leaned in, and said "what's going on here?" The guy just kinda looked at me like "...", and I turned around in the other direction and walked away as fast as I could =P</p>
<p>Awkward moments, where do I start? I have so many, I can't possibly fit them all here. So here are a few:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>As a young kid, I was in line at a bank with my father and this rotund woman was in front of us. So, being the "genius" that I am, I turn to my father and say, "Daddy, look at the fat lady" loud enough where just about everyone around us, including the fat woman. could hear me. </p></li>
<li><p>When I was in 3rd grade, I called my teacher "mom," only to have the entire class laugh at me. </p></li>
<li><p>In 6th grade, when switching classes, I accidentally went into the wrong class and sat there for over 5 minutes before realizing that I was in the wrong room. When I returned to my real class, I had to explain why I was late. I obviously looked like a total idiot.</p></li>
<li><p>Two years ago, a event sort of similar to the one in 6th grade occured. This time, it was at a summer program at a college. I walked into a classroom to ask for directions, so I at least knew that this wasn't my classroom. However, I walked into a room that was actually an ESL class to ask for directions to my classroom. I asked several times, only to get a series of blank looks from the students. Then, I turned around and saw some sort of sign indicating it was a ESL class. Some place to ask for directions!</p></li>
<li><p>My 6-yr old sister likes to take books from the library to read. One day, my mother decided that I should return her books. Doesn't seem that awkward right? Consider this: the books I was returning were all "Dora the Explorer," "Blue's Clues," or "Arthur the Aardvark." When I presented the books to the librarian, she gave a look like "what the hell are you, a pervert or something?" Keep in mind I was 16 years old at the time and around 6' tall, not the type of person who would be reading these books. Next time I returned the books, I made sure that my sister came so I had an explaination.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>~ I was at a bowling party for my friend's b-day. Keep in mind that I'm not a very social person, and the last I had been bowling I was about 3 years old. My dad came to pick me up, and I left our little area and put on my jacket and walked out with my dad. While still wearing the bowling shoes. By the time I got to the car I realized that these weren't my shoes, so I ran back in and took off my shoes. I gave them to the person at the counter, and I, thinking this was the skating rink where they take your shoes, just stood there, waiting for her to hand me my shoes. After about a minute I said to her "Hey, I need my shoes." She basically said I don't have them, I didn't take them. And here I am just standing turning redder and redder, getting louder and louder, "I really need my shoes, etc." When she turned around looking in a cabinet, I about ran away b/c I just then realized that my shoes were still in the party area.
I ran out of there as fast as possible.</p>
<p>hmm akward moments... so many to choose from...
here's one:
in english we're reading beowulf and IMO i think its close the most boring novel known to man, so my english teacher asked me to read aportion to the class and was thinking in my head "this is such a drag" so i read this that really says it was a short journey instead i read it was a looongg journey and suddenly the class burst out in laughter and my teacher goes "it may have been a long journey to u but it was actually a short journey!"</p>
<p>-In general I walk faster than my southern counterparts so I often walk closely behind them and people give me looks.</p>
<p>-i've called a teacher mom before</p>
<p>-On family weekend at school i was walking around in my boxershorts and a girl and her parents walked down our hall.</p>
<p>-tripping on the stairs every few weeks.</p>
<p>-During a duet in front of most of our school (I was in the band) I just started to laugh and couldn't stop.</p>
<p>-At school we have a children's gift auction. The un-PC name for these is a Chinese Gift Auction. I won a gift certificate to a local Chinese food establishment. The server asked me where I got the gift certificate and I told him at the Chinese Gift Auction.</p>
<p>-When running the mile I ran into the scoreboard.</p>
<p>-The only car accident I got into was with a teacher at my high schooL (who incidently was my pre-school teacher as well)</p>
<p>-I work at a deli and while carrying out a woman's platter of sandwiches I dropped them all over the street (she almost started to cry because it was on christmas eve)</p>
<p>-At the beach I ripped open my swimsuit at the crotch and used my beach badge to pin it back together.</p>
<p>There are many more but I can't think of them ATM :)</p>
<p>I was at (high school) between periods; I was going to my next class when this girl came up to me and asked me how I've been; I didn't really remember who she was, so I said "I'm good" in a really akward fashion. She gave me a quick hug, then left. To this day, I still don't remember how I knew her in the first place.</p>
<p>Yeah, every moment of the day is pretty much awkward for me, unless I'm good friends with the people interacting with me. Usually at parties I'm the kid who sits and stares out the window, or paces around saying nothing to anyone. I remember bringing my government textbook to the homecoming dance. lol.</p>
