25 Everyday Moments That Are Actual Hell If You're Awkward

BRB just sending myself into space where I can forget about that missed high five.

1. When you can't hear what someone has said to you and you've already said "What?" twice.

2. Straight-up mishearing someone and realizing your response made no sense.

3. Accidentally making eye contact with someone from a bathroom stall.

The most awkward bathroom stall gap. I accidentally make eye contact with everyone that enters.

4. Or making eye contact with someone trying to get on your elevator right as the doors are closing.

5. Tripping over anything.

6. Pushing on a pull door.

7. Trying to talk to a co-worker who's wearing headphones and then either scaring them or just slowly backing away.

8. Or worse, when someone witnesses that failed interaction.

9. Writing out the subject line of an email.

10. Knocking on a bathroom door and finding out it's occupied.

11. Arriving anywhere too early.

12. Interacting with anyone under the age of 18.

13. High fives.

14. When something you're wearing or sitting on makes a noise that sounds like it could've been a fart.

15. When your crush says literally anything to you.

16. Meeting anyone for the first time.

17. Putting your money back in your wallet after you pay for something.

18. Trying to figure out if you're supposed to tip someone.

19. Knowing you're about to say hi to someone who greets with a cheek kiss.

20. Running into someone whose name you've forgotten.

21. Accidentally liking an Instagram photo of an acquaintance.

22. Sending a text and realizing you wrote "abou tit" instead of "about it."

23. Getting a phone call.

24. Having to leave a voice mail.

25. Apologizing for any of these instances and making the situation exponentially more awkward.
