"My English teacher (female) came up to me during my prom and "fixed" my tie. Then she told me that her husband had a tie just like it. Then she started to cry, on my shoulder, and told me that he cheated on her.
I gently gave her a tap on the back and said, "sorry" before walking away. As awkward as it gets." -Reddit user (deleted)
"I ordered a pizza. As I live in an apartment, I had to go to the lobby to get my pizza. Little brother went with me. He was 9 I was 16. To get to the lobby, we had to pass through the parking lot, where we find our nice neighbor lady having fun with a gentleman. She is shirtless, and the car is bouncing.
Mortified, we go get the pizza. It takes a while, and then we go back to the elevator. But the neighbor lady is there. Her clothes are jumbled, and her skin is all red. Awkwardest elevator ride ever. It's been two years, and I've yet to look at her in the eyes again." -Reddit user carolnuts
"My neighbor of about 15 years, who we’ve called Dave all along, came out and said that his name is Greg.
My husband still refuses to believe it." -Reddit user christinas44c616c07
"I got off the bus in the pouring rain with bags in both hands, soaked to the bone. As the bus was leaving, a gust of wind blew my skirt all the way up — and it was wet, so it just stuck there.
I wanted DEATH." -Reddit user elldc
"Not mine, but a friend's. He was on a 22-hour car ride to visit his grandparents with his family. So, naturally, he wanted to listen to some music.
He was about to when his parents decided they should play his music throughout the whole car, and he agreed. So he plugged in his phone, pressed play and… all that was heard was moaning." -Reddit user Bravo Reaper
"Well...I was texting my brother, who lives abroad, and wanted to tell him to say hi to his girlfriend. They've been together for over five years, but I haven't seen them for a really long time. I forgot her name — totally blanked — and I figured texting, 'Say hi to your gf,' was kinda impersonal.
So I texted, 'Say hi to Beth.' Thought about it, and was like, yeah, that sounds right. Turns out, that was his ex." -Reddit user chickentonight
"I bought prom tickets for me and my date, we're going as friends, but I really like her.
I invited her to come with me to a concert with a group of friends, we go, and while there I tell her I like her and then she's all like "I like you as a friend, and I talked my bf into taking me to prom, sorry." -Reddit user jagrocks21
"Was dropping off a girl I really like home. I wasn't clear on which street to turn on, so instead, I ask her, "So hey, what corner are you on?" awkward pause.
I kept driving." -Reddit user Chef Lebowski
"I accidentally called a girl a guy once. Usually, it would end with it being laughed off if it was the other way around, but if you call a girl a guy, it's like everyone who heard just hates you.
Worse than calling a fat woman pregnant, in my opinion." -Reddit user (deleted)
"I was working at a gas station once, and a customer came to pay for a beer. I swear she looked like a man, so I addressed her as a Sir. In the end, she was like, "Why are you calling me a Sir.
I'm a woman." I felt really bad, and she reported it to my boss. It was really awkward." -Reddit user hAAAnh
"My friend, who happens to be wheelchair-bound, got fired from his job and was falling behind on bills. In an attempt to cheer him up, I told him that there are plenty of jobs out there and "you'll find one, and you'll be back on your feet in no time" I swear heard my brain scream DUDE!!
WHAT THE ****!" -Reddit user sk33zy
"A few years ago, in college, I was walking through the quad and saw one of my friends (I'm a guy, she's a girl). She was facing away from me, and for some reason, I did the "guess who" greeting where you cover the person's eyes from behind them.
She can't guess who I am; when she turns around, I realize I do not know this girl." -Reddit user t00_soon_jr
"Earlier today, I called a girl that I thought had mutual feelings for me. She answered, and we talk for all of 20 seconds before she said, "Later, dude," and hung up.
Woot woot!" -Reddit user Weed_Problems
"I was ordering fried chicken. I decided that this time when they ask for my name, it will be Tyrone (I'm Asian).
However, when I told him my name, I couldn't contain my laughter. He just stood there and looked at me awkwardly." -Reddit user dopadelic
"A few weeks after a really bad breakup, I ran into the ex in an unexpected place…My brain went into fight-or-flight mode, so I stared at her for a few seconds, then turned around and ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction." -Reddit user bbctol
