I'm Scott. So, this past year, I moved to Boston for college and was excited to go out on my own into the city and feel adventurous. So, my first week at school, I took the subway into the city alone, with my over-the-ear headphones listening to "Here I go Again on my Own" on my ipod and feeling FANTASTIC. Then, while I was walking through Quincy Market, I passed by this circle of 8 or 10 very attractive, well-dressed girls of my age. One of them was holding a plate with a fresh, pristine slice of cake on it. As I walked by them, she took the cake, looked at the ground, and then HURLED her FULL SLICE of delicious cake at the ground. Naturally, I walked up to them without even thinking and smiled and yelled, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND!!!!" Immediate silence fell over the group and they stared at me with faces that said, "Surrrrously? What the HELL?" I murmured, "I'm not a part of your system." Silence. I exited their circle and walked back to school. Dirtbags. [bookmarkable link]

One time at Target, I ran into an old friend and her mother from high school. We chatted up a few minutes about the old times in school and the silly things we'd dreamt of doing when we became older. Before we parted ways, I congratulated her on her pregnancy. She slightly smiled and as she walked away her mother gave me a dirty look as she told me that her daughter was not pregnant! Awkward![bookmarkable link]

I was taking a long drive with a few friends. We stopped at a gas station for drinks and bathroom. While we were getting back into the car my friend and I were rough housing. A girl behind us said, "You guys are gonna die!" This girl had just told us the day before that her mother had died through tragic circumstances. My friend replied quickly with an age old joke. "Your mom's gonna die!" I didn't see his face. I wish I had. Instead, I tried to top him. I said, "Yeah! She's already dead, and rigor mortis is setting in!" Immediately I remembered about her mom and saw my friend's face. He was terrified. I looked away from her as fast as possible, put my headphones on and avoided eye contact with her for the rest of the trip. I felt like a monster, and I still don't like thinking about it.

I worked as a waiter in a T.G.I.Friday's for a short time. The clientele was far from my particular cultural comfort zone, so I already felt out of place and awkward most nights. One night I was walking to one of my tables and I saw a young man about to walk into the ladies' room. Being the kind person that I was, I stopped him. "Sir, that's the women's restroom. The men's is right around the corner there. "Then my heart sunk. The man suddenly became a woman and stared at me as if I were trash and walked into the ladies' room. There was no recovering. I just went back to the kitchen and prayed I wouldn't have to see her again. Then I was told that I had a new table. I walked out to it, and there she was ready to give me one more hard stare. I managed to get them food and out the door, but it wasn't easy. I suppose if I had been a little older and wiser I might have had a friend take the table. [bookmarkable link]

During a summer break in high school, I took a trip with some friends. While we were in the airport waiting to board our flight, a couple of my friends started picking on me and another kid for being so white and pale. Both of us happened to be the type of people who couldn’t ever get a tan, no matter how hard we tried. I was pretty touchy about this feature of mine, so I tried to say something that would boost my self-confidence and make it look like I wasn’t bothered by them pointing out how pasty I was. I raised my fist high in the air and yelled out the first thing that came to mind,”White people rule!” As soon as I said it, I knew it was a poor choice of words. I also realized that several people at the gate had heard my exclamation and were now staring at me. I wanted to die. What was meant to be a quick comeback made me look like a racist jerk.

well i was 12 and at my uncles wedding. When the wedding ended my uncle had rented a limo and still had a couple of hours left. He told me go get your sister and cuzend and you guys can drive around in it.I raced to find my sister and cuzend. shortly after i found my sister and told them to meet me in the limo. I continued searching for my cuzend i finally find her and drag her to the limo.When i got in the limo my sister where looking at me funny and when i turn my head to the right it turns out the girl i dragged was not my cuzend but some random girl that had the same dress as my cuzend but that was not the awkward part. the limo driver drove back to the parking-lot to drop her off she refused to get out. NOW THAT WAS A AWKWARD 2 HOUR DRIVE. [bookmarkable link]

So one weekend me and my friends went to my best friends girlfriends party. So we were in the basement chilling and talking, and all of a sudden they just start making out. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be a problem, but in this case it was. We couldn't leave the basement because if we did it would look suspicious to her parents that those 2 were alone in the basement. So we all had to just stand around exchanging looks while they were going at it...[bookmarkable link]

Congratulations to @Kabir_Daljeet and @Neenerzz for winning this past week's shirts. Both were fighting for the lead at midnight, and due to a leftover Daylight Saving Time server glitch, voting went past midnight. (The bug has since been corrected.) So, both of them win! @Kabir_Daljeet's one-armed girl story and @Neenerzz unfortunate exotic dancer story certainly rivaled each other for awkwardness. I'll be getting in touch with you two soon. Meanwhile, pick out your awkward turtle t-shirt size at Conch Tees.[bookmarkable link]

About a year ago i needed to go to secretary of state to transfer a title on my new motorcycle. so i got dressed and went all out wearing badass shirt some cargo shorts and my best shoes. hopped on my bike and rode to SOS when i got there, there were a group of hott girls that standing at the wall who kept staring at me so i smiled and winked then got up cause my number was called. as i stood there waiting on the paperwork i look back and the girls are giggling at me...which is the universal code for they dig you and thats when i noticed a wierd feeling on my leg...i look down and i had a pair of boxers hanging out my pants...evidently they had been hanging out the whole time and of course i go to school the next day and see them all there for the 1st time needless to say my year was awkward for the remainder of it[bookmarkable link]

So I had invited some friends to a charity event I was hosting about a month ago and one of my friends brought her roommate. As I greeted them at the door, my friend introduced me to her roommate. As I offered my right hand for a hand-shake, but she awkwardly reached over and shook my hand with her LEFT hand. Puzzled I stopped and stared for a moment, I then turned to my friend who in turn leaned in and whispered into my ear, “She only has one hand”.[bookmarkable link]

I finally learned how to cut a perfect mohawk!! I gave one of my associates at work a real nice one and the next day at work some of my receiving associates were asking me if I would cut their hair as well. I was so excited talking about the art form of it and how precise I am...making myself sound more cool that I really was. He started to be real interested and I thought I could build a clientel doing mohawks. Real dumb right?.. Walking towards the freight truck to unload I failed to look down and notice pallets of merchendise infront of me. I was so busy talking myself up that I walked right into one. Went head first over the merch, slide down the pallet onto the floor were my face met the concrete. No mohawks were given anymore...the only thing taken was my pride and the fact that I am not as cool as i would like to think...[bookmarkable link]

I was working as an "exotic dancer" for a while to make money to buy a car when I turned 18. I was working at a really famous club called the Crazy Horse. Usually they only let in young or rich people so I didn't have to worry about my dad ever coming in... or at least that's what I thought. I was told to go to a room because someone paid for a private dance. Guess who?[bookmarkable link]

A few years ago when I was dating my ex he moved in with my family [long story short his father is an ass]. I made a habit of just walking into his bedroom usually to hangout and watch tv. One night I just waltz in and he was 'watching' a porno.. er for some reason I sat on the bed and watched too [ackwardly-we had been fighting that I never like what he watches]. He didn't move at all and I clued in as to why. I quickly left. Ackward? oh yeah. I couldn't look at him for about a week. And to this day I knock on anyone's door before going inside.[bookmarkable link]

~ So, I'm at the super-market, pushing the cart around the store, when I begin to feel this funny thing going on in my pants. It felt almost as if I was wearing a feminine product, of the Stay Free sort, but I wasn't. I am wondering what it is, and the more I walk, the more the "thing" begins feeling strange. Well, I look down, and, lo and behold, there is this bulge between my legs! I realize that a pair of my undies (granny panties) were left hiding in the crotch of my pants waiting for poor unsuspecting me, to wear the pants again! So I am standing there staring down at this bulge, looking like some freak of nature "she man", and I reach down to try to adjust it. Well, just as my hand is working feverishly to make some acceptable adjustment, I look up to see this guy staring at me (instant blush here). His "Oh my God!" expression, said it all, the poor fellow thought he had witnessed a true "she man" adjusting her manhood! Awkward?...You bet!! [bookmarkable link]

I had a gynecologist appointment and the nurse was asking me about my medical history and she had a accent of some kind. She asked me "when was your last anal exam" I whispered back "you mean my butt?" She tried not to crack a laugh, but failed. What she really asked was "when was your last annual exam?" As if going to the gynecologist wasn't awkward enough... [bookmarkable link]

When I was younger my brother, my mom and I went to JC Penney's. I was about four years old at the time, and didn't listen when my mom told me to stay with her. Needless to say, I ran off and ran into what I thought was an open door. It was actually a very clean, big, window, and I smashed face first into it. My mom had to carry me, bleeding and screaming, through the store to the bathroom to clean me up and people were staring at her, and they probably thought that she had abused me in some way. When we went back to the store again a couple days later, or so, there were huge stickers on the windows to show that they were, in fact, windows and not an open door.[bookmarkable link]
