So let's take this thread to share our awkward moments...
So here's one I had just last week or so. We had guest sleeping over at our house. And I was walking down the hallway when the Uncle asked what time I come back from work. I found that odd, since I don't have a job, but anyway, I said "I come back from school at 11". I mean, he asked the question while looking at me. And after I answered, he continued to stare at me and then my dad said he was talking to him, not me.... It was embarrassing and awkward.
Another one is sort of sad. We went to Boston, to visit my uncle, who unfortunately is cross eyed. So my brother and I were standing there, and he asked one of us how old we were. He was looking at me, but it seemed like his eyes were pointing towards my brother. So during the process of the conversation, my brother had to nudge me as to when he was asking me, and when he was asking him.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
What's more awkward than to forget the name of a friend when you meet him after 5 years, and you don't want to tell him that you forgot his name ?
More awkward than that, is this : he gave me his phone number so I store it in my phone. So I was desperately trying to remember his name to store it with the number, while he kept staring at me. Finally I used a stupid trick, but it didn't work :
Me : "Not sure I'll spell your name correctly, how is it written ?"
HIM : "You stupid ! you forgot my name ! didn't you ?"
"O you who believe! Fear ALLAH as He should be feared" [aal 'Imraan, 102]

This has happened to me a few times. it is awkwaaaaaaaard....!
No matter how you ask, they WILL know that you forgot their names,
so my trick is: I am putting in quickly their numbers in a way that they could not see what I was typing on the phone or the screen, I would make up any word as long as it's stored. Later, i would try to remember their names.
I remember the time when a brand new mall was opened here. We were shopping in a hypermarket, when my brother pulled the fire alarm lever. And the whole market was ringing so loud that we had to scream to get our words passed. Thank God, the people were only startled and didn't start scrambling. Everyone were staring at us as though we were runaway wanted criminals. I was glad I was wearing a veil, at least my face was not seen.
they need a child seat, which we keep in the trunk.
MAYBE it's my fault but...
when i close the trunk, it breaks!
it won't close.
i REALLY have to go now
we call a driver who lives close by but who is done for the day.
he'll take my car to the shop while i use his to finish the day.
IF he gets here quick, i MIGHT make it...
he doesn't!
i'm about to explode when he does arrive.
MAYBE i can...
NO i can't..;
i have to ask to use the bathroom.
it isn't pretty, in fact QUITE the opposite!
can it get worse?
OH YEAH!
push the flush handle...
nothing
nothing
nothing
and i have to leave...
MAYBE...
they'll never forget me...

I have more than enough embarrassing moments, they all rush back into my mind when I want to go to sleep (I can't sleep now anyway). Not to mention embarrassing situations that never happen but your scumbag brain keeps on creating.
i remember once in school i kept pushing the door and it wont open when a girl on the other side of the door said your suppose to pull it not push it
That happens to me everytime.
One time, it happened to my friend. He kept pushing, and right on the door in big letters, it said PULL. loool Awks.

LOL SAME HERE!!! I get SO ebarrassed just by past events that I can't even sleep. SubhanAllah, I thought I was the only one with super embarrassing moments.
i remember going for an interview at uni, well they gave us a few presentations to get the mood going or something. i wasnt listening - at the end when he said "any questions?" i didnt want him to feel bad so i put my hand up and basically asked him a question which was the whole point of his presentation.
this happened like twice throughout the day. and he embarassed me in front of everyone
My mother asked me to accompany her to her friend daughter wedding party. I asked her "When", and she answered "Sunday evening".
Sunday evening, we went to wedding party rode my mom car. On the way she told me, her friend daughter is Javanese, and she's getting married to Eurasian guy.
We arrived to the wedding hall and entering it. But we saw, the bride, the groom, and their parents are Chinese. I asked my mom
"You said, the bride is Javanese and the groom is Eurasian. But look at them, they are Chinese"
"Yes, and I don't understand why they become Chinese" My mom replied
"Do you know them?"
"No"
"Are you sure your friend daughter wedding party is in this hall"
"I am sure. The invitation card is in the car, I have read that.
We began to feel awkward because we did not know anyone there, but we kept giving congratulations to the bride, the groom, and ate the provided meals.
Back to car, I saw an invitation card in the glove box. I asked my mom "Is this the invitation card?". My mom answered "Yes". So, I took that card, read, and ... "Mom, the wedding was yesterday"
It was Grade 9 day and our high school bused us to some place for our field trip...it was a long and boring day and I slept in the bus...a loud noise woke me up, then I went back to sleep with my head tilted back and my mouth wide open and eyes half open. I woke up to four people laughing at me and I was able to laugh it off... but still.
when someone is waving at your direction and you think they are waving at you so you wave back and then realise the person is actually waving at someone behind you
