re: Awkward moments in real life

just say Thank you.....

Delivering pizzas for Dominos. First time delivering alone. South Harrell’s Ferry-nice neighborhood. Was fretting about making change on the spot-lol. I’m not always an idiot, but often do stupid shite when I’m nervous.

Guy gives me plenty of money to cover the pizza—with maybe 7-12 bucks left over. He went to close the door, and I asked him “NO TIP??” With a huge smile. He gave me a weird look and closed the door. I meant to say “No change??” but didn’t realize until I was back in the car.

This still makes me cringe at least every few weeks.

At a restaurant at the waiter/waitress says enjoy your meal, and then I say you too.

Every. Single. fricking. Time.

My sophomore year of high school, I was going to pick up my homecoming date. Being a dumbass 15 year-old at the time, I somehow managed to screw up writing down her address. I confidently walked up to the wrong house with the flowers in hand, rang the doorbell, and told the woman who answered the door that I was here to take her daughter to the Homecoming dance. She laughed and said, "My daughter is 8. I think you're looking for the house next door." I awkwardly walked out and indeed found the correct house next door over. My date's family thought it was hilarious. I was very embarrassed at the time, but now I find it hilarious, too.

Another awkward one from high school was when I confused the names of two of the only black girls in my entire grade during a group presentation. I didn't realize why everyone was laughing until I sat back down. That was very awkward.

It's always a nice looking female when it happens to me. May just be subliminal wishful thinking on my part.

When I was 16, me and a buddy helped a female neighbor (OT 5) and her friend (OT 4) move some furniture. Both ladies were in their late 20s or early 30s. They asked us if we wanted to stick around and have a few beers. Stupid me says “coach says we shouldn’t drink during the season.” It didn’t occur to me what she was implying. My friend wanted to kill me.

Friend and I were drinking at a bar on Valentine’s Day while in college. No dates. We were talking about drilling a water well at our new hunting camp. Serious stuff here! Two good looking girls (OT 5) come up and ask for a light, we smoked back then, trashy I know. Gave them a light and kept talking about the various was we should/need to get this water going... aw shite we missed a chance to get laid huh. That’s why they looked at us like we were queer. Still think about that missed opportunity

My wife and I were at a wedding for a friend from college who had moved to Charlotte and made a new group of friends. We had met the guys bc we were friends with the soon to be husband. One of the Charlotte friends, a groomsman, introduced us to the girl he was standing with. My wife says, “is this your mom? Nice to see you.” It was his wife.

This happens all the time. I usually know them, but don't remember their name. They always call me by my first name. I typically respond with a feeble, "how's it going?"

Right before my senior prom I was cleaning my old pickup truck out and dad walked up and found empty skoal cans, grounded me from my truck. My date was excited about me picking her up in my old truck, she liked it for some reason. Parents said I should take step mom’s car instead, so I pull up at her house in a dang car.

I go knock on her door realizing I never even brought flowers with me. She comes out and we go inside and sit on couch after greeting her mom. She laughs and says her little brother is here and if he talks and seems to like me, she knows it’s a good sign, the boy never said a word to me. So we are walking out of the house and her mom and grandmother say nice to meet you, I tell them “yes anytime”

We are walking out to car and I’m going ahead to open door for her to get in and door is locked, I run back around to unlock door but I didn’t unlock it, I didn’t realize it till I was halfway back around and then had to run around and go back to unlock again. So I unlock her door but somehow locked mine, I let her in and go back around and my door is locked. She has to reach around (the only reaching around she did that night) and unlock it. I look back and see the horror on her mom’s face and get in the car. Pulling out of the driveway I went the wrong direction to top it all off. Rest of the night wasn’t that bad but I have never done well first time meeting a girl’s parents
