Awkward social moments?

Well for me the really annoying moment is when you are at some family event (Grandmother's birthday perhaps) and people come upto you and know your name, and a lot about you, start talking to you in depth, but you have no idea who these people are! I have about 30 relatives who do this to me (I'm not sure if they are family friends or relatives) and I don't have a clue who they are, or their names.

Hahaha, so true.

I worship the power of these lovely two,
With that adoring love known to so few.
'Tis indeed a miracle, one must feel
That two such heavenly creatures are real.

Oh, another one.  I'm in an elevator going up to the top floor of a building.  One other person, some higher-than-thou foreigner is talking on his cell phone very loudly.  We stop at the third or fourth floor, a waiter accidentally drops the food he's holding so I'm holding the door open for him to get in.  The other guy pushes me away and closes the door, hitting the waiter and knocking him down while we argue on whether to keep going up or to help the waiter.  The guy was really mean and impatient and he pretty much forced the door closed.  I had to ride up with this asshole for the next few minutes, all the while the guy yelling on his phone at the top of his lungs about "dumbass waiters interrupting his business."  That was awkward, and we exchanged dirty looks the whole way.

Turned out we were going to the same bar :(

You shoulda just stepped out the elavator at that point and helped the waiter, but that's me saying it when I've had time to think lol.

The guy sounds like a royal cunt, though.

I shift in my seat and the leather upholstery makes a sound that could be mistaken for a fart. I therefore shift in my seat again, two or three times, making the same sound deliberately in order to demonstrate that I have not inadvertently farted.

Okay this one has to of happened to us all at some point... your in a car with a parent and the radio goes to commercials, it's for fake boobs or worse a strip club!

Do you pretend you don't here it and hold all movements till it's over so no attention is brought to you. Do you try and talk over the commercial hoping that maybe they won't hear it or you can both pretend you don't? Or do you switch the station as fast as you can confirming that you heard it and you know what it's about?

I love this topic, I think I'll be stalking it alot.

Haha, I like that one.

I thought of another...

You are having a great day. Smiling and joking with random people. After exchanging jokes, and compliments with someone, you continue walking along with a large smile, only to be met by a gaze of someone who is frowning quite hard. There is eye contact. You are smiling, they are not.

Do you maintain the smile until you pass? Do you change to a frown? Do you break eye contact?

I think the "frowner" can be classed as a "social murderer."

'Cause if it does...maybe I am"

You are talking to someone who know, who you generally get on with but aren't amazing friends with. You come to the end of the subject you are discussing; and it hits you. That huge, obvious silence.

When has it gone on too long? If you say something really generic and typical, is it obvious that you are feeling uncomfortable with the silence too?

It's annoying as hell.

I've had my share of akward moments. For example, I was in a bathroom stall, and all of a sudden this guy in the stall next to me goes "Hello?" I'm just sitting there thinking he's talking to me so I manage a "Ummm....Hi." The thing I didn't realize, was he was on his cell phone when he said Hello and was not talking to me at all.
Now that was akward! And another one was when I was sitting in a hot tub at a public swimming pool when air bubbles trapped in my swimming suits pockets escaped and caused bubbles on the surface of the water, giving everybody else in the hot tub the impression that I had farted. Freaking embarrassing!

---

Wow, those are great! You is good.

I've thought of another...
Standing at the train station, I am minding my own business when I meet the gaze of someone giving me a harsh gaze. A sort of aggressive stare. I break the gaze and look around unchanged. Not wanting him to think that I have backed down, I spark a cigarette, and return to meet his gaze. After the first puff, I take it out, but drop it, plashing lit pieces all over myself. After panickedly putting out any possible fires, and returning to my smoke, I must now avoid looking in his direction, but the train will be quite a while to arrive.
