Have any of you ever ordered a pizza, and then find that you can't find you wallet when the guy get there. Or had your dogs been barking then receive at least four angry phone calls in the middle of the night. Both of them have happened to me and I can never say what I need to say and always seen to stutter like a idiot. What do you guys do in that situation

I was once in a movie theater, and I saw this good looking girl and she looked right at me, and she started mouthing words. I started mouthing words back, and she gave me a face like "what are you doing?" I looked behind me and saw a friend of hers talking to her. I left that movie.
lol, I've never done that, but I've had it when someone looks at you and waves only to realize after I waved back only to realize it wasn't for me quite a few times.Ganado_Headshot said:
I actually had a really cute girl wave and smile at me, when I waved back she beckoned me over. Even confused, I approached only to spot her friends out of the corner of my eye greet her. So I kept walking and smiling as if I was waving to the person behind her.
The other day we're hanging outside, five of us, a girl and four guys. I'm standing to one side of her one of the other guys is standing opposite me, and the third is behind her, while another is standing in front of her talking to her. We weren't surrounding her just standing around. So the guy behind her does something, I think he had her purse at the time so me and Connor, standing opposite her look down and this mother is standing there with his fly loose and not boxers. Connor and I look at each other, both knowing.
When two guys see something like that it's just weird and so weird that all of us notices, so I Just kind of say 'zip up' and he turns, needless to say it was a little awkward.

Ah, that reminds me of something, that also happened in the cinema funnily enough.Ganado_Headshot said:
Was there with some friends one evening when I felt somebody tap me on the shoulder. So I looked round and there was rather attractive girl with red curly hair who said "long time, no see!". I didn't immediately recognise her but said hello in response, hoping in the time it took to to say that it would click as to who she was. Alas in the all too long silence that followed (though probably really only a few seconds) it was clear she had also figured out she didn't actually know me at all either. The girl then quickly walked off back to her friends.Of course the real challenge there is that I really didn't have a clue who she was and hadn't just totally messed up and missed out on a good thing...
Pizza delivery reminds me of my awkward tale. I was the Delivery guy and the customer - a pregnant woman - was abrupt and dismissive. I thought she was pissed off with my service (I was less than five minutes late), so I apologised.YouGetWhatsGiven said:
It wasn't me, her water had broken while I was en route and she was just waiting for her husband to arrive to take her to the hospital. Uhm... "Sorry, I mean congratulations! Good luck!" and I got the hell out of there.
Sitting in Maths, this new kid was sitting opposite me. The people who were normally at my table were both gone, so it was just me and him. He asked me my name, and I just told him.
May not sound awkward, but let me tell you, I am an extremely socially awkward person. I hardly look anyone in the eye, and if they aren't a friend, I'll avoid even looking at them or making conversation. Seriously.

I had three then current girlfriends show up in the same restaurant at the same time, I performed a low crawl that would have impressed the hell out of any Drill Sergeant.
My life is one long awkward situation.
Th most common form is starting a sentence, not knowing how to end it and then waffling embarrassingly...then there are the silences...

Can't think of that many ATM, but one that happened recently, was at my old job. I used to be a salesman over telephone, and I phone one guy up who says: "Hey, it's Nicolai" and I reply "Hey, it's Nicolai..." and then stop abrubtly as I raelize That I've just said the excact same thing he said... My name is actually Nicolai, and I used to kick off my "speech" that way, but I matched it perfectly with the tone and rhyth, he said it, and it was very awkward...
I didn't make the sale, either.

I walked in on my mother and her boyfriend while they were... being intimate. Then my mom went ahead and made things a hell of a lot worse by giving me a lecture on love and respect and how it's nothing to be ashamed of. At fifteen, you do not want a lecture on sex from your recently un-nuditised mother.
I rarely get red faced but when I do I just play it off as best I can. Usually just a funny comment. Most people understand as they have probably had the same thing happen or something similar. My worst moment was when I took 8 clients out to a really nice dinner and when the bill came I gave the waiter my credit card. He came back and told me that I should really meet the manager as I was a regular patron. The card...it got declined. I spent the next 15 minutes with the bank having them figure out why my money wasn't there (turned out to be a bank error). After getting it resolved I returned to the table to explain what happened. Needless to say I felt like an idiot in front of some people I was really trying to impress. Luckily they all laughed it off with me. I told them that is why they needed to buy from me...I obviously needed the money. LOL, turned into a successful deal in the end. Also I tipped the waiter well for being so good at getting me out of a potentially really really awkward situation.
One time when I was in high school I was in my room with my girlfriend when we heard my mom coming up the stairs. My girlfriend quickly got up and ran into the closet. My mom came in and yelled, "JUSTIN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE??" I panicked, and said the first thing that came to my mind which was "I'm...err...uhh...masturbating." She kind of gave me a blank look for a second and said "Oh...ok...well uhh, don't stay up too late" and left. The next morning was so freaking awkward.
Today at the end of school my and my friend were standing by the bus line. There was a new bus and it was a type of bus i had never seen before. So i point at the bus and say to my friend, somewhat loudly, "Thats a wierd looking bus." It just so happens that at the exact moment i pointed at the bus a girl was walking by and my pointed finger just happened to be aimed right at her walking by. She looks at me all wierd thinking i am being a dick making fun of her or something and i am instantly nervous and feeling akward so i say "ummmm sorry i was pointing at the actual bus... not you... sorry!". WOW what a mess that situation was. HOORAY HUMAN INTERACTION
Standing up and Screaming "You stupid asshole" when Bruce crased the Laborghini in The Dark Knight. The people in the theater didnt appreciate that.
Tons, Best one though is always at a party. I will get at least one person who will try to talk to me and is way too drunk to realize what I am trying to tell them with hand signals. So they end up thinking I am the, "Stuck up ***** who won't talk to them" Until someone sober enough points out what I was trying to get across to them.
Also, Nothing will ever beat your parents walking in on you and your boyfriend.
