Top 10 Most Awkward Moments

It's got the word "awkward" inside. What do you expect?
Plus, awkward silences happen when people can't actually talk. But when someone doesn't shake hands the same way, it doesn't allow people to talk...

Especially when your friend leaves you alone with another one of their friends that you don't talk to. It's so awkward.

I was on a bus, and then I saw my brother. I called him, but he didn't hear me because he had ear pods on. Then everyone on the bus just looked at me like I was a murderer, and there was a cringey silence. God, why?

I really hate this. Usually, people get most of my jokes or laugh at most of the things I do. But when this happens, and then you have to explain, and when they STILL don't get it - oh, that kills me.

Aw, that's the worst because you think it's hilarious, but everyone just looks at you like you're insane.

Not to mention when you mess up the joke itself, and they look at you like you're insane...

Yeah, especially if they see that you thought they were waving at you and then just stare at you...

This happened at Walmart when I was exiting the bathroom.

I feel like grabbing the guy and throwing him behind me.

This is really awkward. It's even more awkward when it's a gift from Santa, and your parents take it back!

This one is really awkward. A couple of years ago, I got clothes for my birthday that I thought were ugly. I just pretended to like them and said, Thanks, I love them, because it's the thought that counts. I'm also very good at acting, so I was able to pull it off.

This really applies to anything. You're like, "Oh! Um, thank you..." This is the worst.

Oh no... that's happened to me before.

I went to a mall, and I was trying to open the door, but then this lady behind me opened it instead. That was so awkward!

Every single time we go to Dollar Tree, I start pulling the door, and everyone stares at me until someone pushes the door beside me.

I really hate this situation because it can be negatively interpreted in many different ways, and it affects my behavior in a way I don't want. As a result, I don't want to see this person anymore.

One time, when I got George Kollias (drummer) to sign his signature on my poster, he told me to give him a handshake, and then I shook his hand the wrong way!

I've thankfully never had this happen to me, but I've seen it happen to other people, and I could only imagine how awkward that is.

That has not happened to me, but it has to someone else!

Then the room starts to stink, so now it's more obvious you farted.

Lord, this one is so awkward. I think my dad's friend has some kind of speech problem. Every time he says anything, I either say, "What?" or pretend that I heard by laughing a little and saying, "Yeah." Very awkward.

Jackson's mom explained something for like 15 minutes, and I was the only one out of four kids who still didn't get it, even though she repeated it like five times.

I'm a girl, so this won't happen to me. Thank God.

This has happened to me many times, and it is so creepy!

Yep, I tell science puns, so I get this a lot.

I was on a train and thought I had plugged my headphones into my phone. I like my music loud, so I put on my headphones. It took me three seconds to realize that everyone was staring at me because my headphones were not plugged in! This was a very awkward situation. I still remember how awkward my face looked, and at that point, I seriously wanted to jump out the window!

This is so embarrassing, especially when the music you're listening to is "disturbing" to the rest of your class...

This has never happened to me, but I've seen it a lot. This is why I always make sure my headphones are plugged in all the way.

This can be very awkward yet still a good thing. Just don't look the person in the eye - avoid eye contact.

This is my life. I blushed in front of my crush, and he asked me if I was hot or something.

That would be the most awkward thing ever!

This just happened to me on the bus. A guy was holding a pole, and I just grabbed his hand like it was normal. I realized it maybe three seconds later. What's even more awkward is that he was one of my old kindergarten friends.

This is definitely the most awkward situation. It's also awkward when snot randomly comes out of your nose.

This annoys me because I don't know it's happening!

As I was reading this, drool was actually coming out of my mouth... No joke.

This happens to me all the time. It's so annoying and awkward. Whenever I start a conversation, others get quiet and want to listen, even when they were the ones holding a conversation before.

This literally happens all the time.

I hate this. So much awkwardness.
