Title: awkward sitautions you find yourself in often
Post by: Sam on January 30, 2009, 02:48:43 PM
This happens to me all the time for some reason:

I'll say goodbye to someone but then we'll end up walking in the same direction after we said by and for some reason it's just really awkward. It's usually somoene I don't know well, otherwise I'd say something.

also when you laugh at your own joke and nobody else does ;-;

When I'm greeted by someone and I can't tell if they want a handshake, hand clasp, high five, or any other numerous hand greetings.

I always end up almost bumping into someone, and then move in the same direction of the other guy. This happens twice, and then we finally find a way out and part. This is with strangers, mostly.

I also always end up being the only one with knowledge about something in class, so I have to explain it to all the idiots.

When someone says "sup", I don't know if they mean "what's up" or if it's some way of saying hello, so I just say either "nothing" or "hey", depending on which one I think I should use based on the way they asked it.

When you're walking around a corner and you see someone you're about to walk into, so you try to move out of the way, but they move the same direction, and you go back and forth a few times trying to get out of the way until you both suddenly stop moving at the same time and then you don't want it to happen again so you just stare at each other.

These are the moments I live for.

Zoning out in the middle of class, then the teacher asks you something and you can't answer because you didn't hear the question and look like an idiot, but then they ask another student and you realize it was an extremely simple question and feel even more stupid.

When I'm talking too fast and my mouth goes faster than my brain, and I stop and pause and have to backtrack what I was going to say.

Also when I describe something, I tend to say "like, uh, ya know".  Also also also I move my hands when I talk.

I always have trouble meeting a girl, because I don't really think it is normal to shake a girls hand, and so I don't know what to do with my hands and usually just end up either waving, which is weird because I am so close to them or just holding them awkwardly in front of my body.

Give them a pat on the shoulder, or if you're more comfortable a hug.

I'll try the shoulder thing, but i think a hug would be kind of strange if you are just meeting them...

I don't really mind when someone is forward like that when meeting me, but I'm sure lots of people do mind.

Shake her hand anyway to show what a polite gentleman you are.  :3

When I'm greeting someone, and they want to do the stupid "slide palms of hands" handshake, go in for the slide and turn it into a handshake.

Now, everyone I know that greets me shakes my hand.

I try a crazy over-the-top handshake every time.

Sometimes they end with thumbwrestling.

Situations like that aren't awkward if you make fun of them.

"Stop following me"

"You'll understand the joke when you get home."
