Ok then...

[Bored Tomatoe]

Has anyone said anything so incredibly awkward that you were just speechless?
Do tell, as I need constant entertainment, or I may blow up a large bridge just to sooth the boredom monster.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Oh, that kinda thing happens all the time, but I can never remember what was said, mostly because I said it and I want to forget.

Just read on Kotaku: Goichi Suda asked Pagliarulo whether Bethesda was planning on "a Japanese version of Fallout" to which the Fallout 3 designer said, "Well, what can we nuke in Japan?"

...OOPS.

 

[itdoesntmatter]

We were sitting around at a mates place once, calmly and drunkenly discussing weather; rain, lightning, thunder and so on..
Then suddenly, one of them got all scientific on us and explained the entire procedure of how lightning is formed, why, and how it's released and so on..
The detailed explanation lasted a good 5 mins...After which nobody had anything to say, he'd essentially ruined the conversation by solving everything we'd been talking about..

The next thing to be said was "He's only had 1, right?" and the rest is mostly a blur...

But yes, speechlessness (sure it's a word..) is quite common when you involve drugs or alcohol

Ooh, gaffe. Painful, hopefully they took it in stride.

I'm really not joking, but once my friend tried to break an awkward silence with a gay friend of mine he'd met for the first time with the sentence "Sooooo does anal sex hurt as much as people say?"

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Whenever someone says something awkward, I try to one-up them.
See, if they feel awkward, I have no need to. If they attempt to one-up me back, I probably just made a new friend.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my dear god. Way to go to break the ice -.-
I'd say he did the rather opposite =P

For me? Well. Sure. I guess. The thing is that I'm used to haveing shamewaves (Not sure if it's a word or not. So I'll make it at the spot. Shamewave. When you suddenly remember womething incredible embaressing or stupid you did in the past. And that just makes you want to bash your head into the nearest wall) all the time. So if you see me shrugging some time. Ask me what I'm thinking of, and you'll have a good laugh at my cost =P

So many times, I've done something stupid or embaressing. So god damn many times.

Gay friend to me: "I know you don't like cock sucking."
Me: "Yeah. I don't even like being on the receiving end."
...
Me: "I like shrimp! Who else likes shrimp?"

If something that someone did to you counts, a girl I'd never seen before licked my face today.

0__0 .....Wow, that isn't really the best way to break the ice...

Yea pretty sure they didn't speak to each other again for the rest of the night. On the plus side I nearly wet myself laughing when he told me that, which incidentally would have been very embarrassing as well.

Welcome to humanity. A majority of humans - regardless of age - do stupid things so many times. It's whether you repeat your stupid moments over and over again that should determine your level of embarassment.

Best moment of awkwardness:

A fellow airman, his friends and I are at a stripper club in Germany back in 1997. One girl starts smoozing on us, and she asks the young airman if he's a virgin. I had to translate. He said, and I quote:

"I'm not virgin, I've just never had sex."

He then realized what he just said, and put his face in his hands in embarassment. Luckily, translating back, I said, "He said, yes, I'm a virgin." Unfortunately, his friends and most of the squadron never let him live it down.

Someone once told me to "Go fuck a male Pikachu"

Oh! oh! May I try? It sounds like a lot of fun =D

Gay friend to me: "I know you don't like cock sucking."
Me: "Yeah. I don't even like being on the receiving end."
...
Me: "I like shrimp! Who else likes shrimp?"
...

Whu- ... I'm not completely sure I know what you mean by recieving end. How can you not like being ... Done that to ...? Or do you mean recieving like ... Recieving in .. Your mouth?
All in all, though. Kind of an odd statement to make.
"Yeah, so uh .. I heard you did'nt like giving out free money, eh?"
Seems .. Pointless. Unless he wanted some

"I'm not virgin, I've just never had sex."

He then realized what he just said, and put his face in his hands in embarassment. Luckily, translating back, I said, "He said, yes, I'm a virgin." Unfortunately, his friends and most of the squadron never let him live it down.

Oh, that was brilliant! That was gold, my friend XD

I'm sure a demonstration was given and they all laughed it off while your friend forever questioned himself.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. On a second thought. I'm not sure I want to either ..

I meant receiving as in I don't like receiving blow jobs. The second statement is a reference that I doubt anyone on this site will ever get.

I remember that my friends were talking poop about somebody and they walked into the room and nobody said anything. I wasn't talking poop about her so I just got up and left the room. It was awkward for them not for me

 

[sky14kemea]

years ago, i didnt like this guy one of my friends hung out with, we always snapped at each other till this happened:

him: "f*ck you!"
me: "make me!"

there was a huge silence then we both just laughed, after that we just left each other alone
im not so good at comebacks, i dont think XD

I can just see the room going silent and his eyes slowly opening wide.
