Feeling awkwardly awkward

In life we all come across some awkward humiliating situations, so awkward that you feel like getting metamorphosed into an ostrich all of a sudden so that you can shove your head into the soil and escape reality. Here are a few such moments we all would have confronted atleast once in our lives.


😒 Making eye contact with someone rushing toward your elevator, trying to get in, but the doors are already closing.

😒 When you narrate a terrible joke to your colleagues, and they don't hear you, so they ask you to repeat it, making the terrible joke even more terrible and useless. In the process of narrating it for the second time, you feel like stopping halfway, thinking, "Dude! I think you're wasting your time."

😒 When you're watching a movie with your family, and out of the blue, the couple starts making out, and your mom stares at you as if you were the assistant director of the movie. You say, "Errr... Popcorn anyone?" and quickly escape into the dark to fetch the non-existent invisible popcorn to avoid the awkward situation.

😒 When your friend or your love gifts you something you don't like at all, and then you pretend as if it's the prettiest thing you've ever come across in the whole wide world!!! You act as if you were alive on this planet just to receive it, as if it were the sole purpose of your existence! Huh... How dramatic!!!!

😒 While watching a TV series, they mention an interdicted DRUG, and your parents discuss what it is, getting into a heated argument. Then you involuntarily explain it to them, proving both of them wrong, and sit there proudly, having avoided an argument that could have even led to a divorce. But the next moment, you find your mom and dad giving you that spooky glare with their jaws dropped! 
You: (embarrassed grin) What! I saw it on the internet, Dad. 
Dad: Check her bag!!!!

😒 When you're shopping and you pull open a dozen of those neatly folded shirts and make a heap of them. When security approaches, you gradually shift places and slowly go through the folded clothes on the rack one by one, pretending as if you had been raised in a royal family with moral ethics and values.

😒Trying to give a friendly hug to someone your friend just introduced, and they come the opposite way, making you both look as if you are going to kiss each other! Arghhhh. How awkward! (Let that be the last time I meet that person. He doesn't even deserve to be in my friend list!)

😒 When you are in a common place, and someone stops their car beside you, opens the door, and makes an effort to come to you, asking about the route to a particular place that you don't know. You either awkwardly smile and say you're not sure, or you confidently provide them with the wrong route. (What! Have you done it?? Oh! How inhumane!?)

😒 When you are in a crowded metro, and your legs are aching like hell because you've been standing there like a corpse for the past 20 minutes. All of a sudden, you get a vacant seat, but it's next to a guy who coughs, has a runny nose, stained teeth, and dandruff, and is so large that you know he would squeeze you if you sat next to him. What would you do!?

😒 When you walk with your friend toward your car in the parking lot, and your skinny friend easily slips through the tiny gap between two cars, leaving you behind. All of a sudden, you realize you're overweight, and it's high time you give up those extra cheese pizzas and deep-fried spicy chicken wings!

😒 When you are at a restaurant trying your favorite meal, and the food gets stuck in your teeth. You try your best to casually pull it out with your tongue between talks and smiles, but it is stuck there like forever, and you have to run to the restroom for the rescue.

😒 In school, when your teacher asks a question, and you try to hide behind the chubby boy sitting in front of you, but he suddenly bends down to take back the pen he had just dropped, and alas! you are in the limelight. 
"Curse you, chubby boy!"

So, what are the awkwardly awkward moments that you have come across in your daily life?

  8. Lol, yes guilty of a lot of these. Even kiss scenes when I'm watching a movie with my parents makes me wish the sofa would swallow me whole. Cringe! One that happens me a lot with four young kids is pulling something other than my wallet out of my bag to pay for something - usually the clerk just stares until I realise my error, occasionally the good natured staff, will giggle it off - either way I am mortified!

  10. Ahahah all of those situations are quite funny. They can be awkward true but I would not focus on them too much. THe most awkward situations i was in were with people i'd never see again!

  11. There are many situations in life that can make someone feel awkward. I always feel this way when I park my car at the local surpermarket's underground parking but don't buy anything, just go to the gym across the street.

  12. These are hilarious! I always give the wrinw directions to people asking....so embarrassing!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Noooo. These are all so cringe-worthy! I'm one of those people that always get embarrassed, even if I'm not the one in the situation.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ha, these are funny. I am so awkward, so I've had a lot of these moments. I always intend to act like a normal human being, but it rarely turns out like that.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    It is pretty funny how many people can make us feel awkward in a second. Humans are pretty weird.

    ReplyDelete
  22. ALL OF THESE!!! But I am awkward 99% of my life haahah so it's always a thing for me

    ReplyDelete
  23. lol i can relate to a bunch of these instances, i am still laughing. Yes i am often feeling awkward and you know, this is fine.

    ReplyDelete
  24. oh gosh! This made me laugh so hard. I can tell a few stories of my own. The watching the movie with the parents is a classic. Now it happens to me with my teen kids!

    ReplyDelete
  25. You nailed all these! I literally hate looking at people or talking to them. I'm so socially awkward.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I laughed out loud at a few of these. I still remember those awkward moments when watching movies with parents that featured love scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  27. What a huge list of awkward moments, I can't say that I have experienced many of these but I guess the trick is to try and avoid them as much as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I am at a conference right now and there are so many awkwardly awkward moments here. My best one yesterday was going up to someone and hugging them and realizing it was the wrong person!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I often experience this with new acquaintances and sometimes its depressing because it makes you overthink. Well, its part of our daily life, we just have to live with it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have had my fair share of awkward moments. They are always so...awkward!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Reading these made my palms sweat. I can relate to so many of them, especially the ones with involving parents. The worst is when your parents ask you questions about things in the show they don't understand that are very embarrassing. No one wants to explain certain things to their parents.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It doesn't matter how old we get, awkward moments still pop up. I'm waiting for the reverse side with my nieces and nephew, where the ask me an uncomfortable question that I have to answer.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Haha I have experienced many if not all those cringeworthy situations, including being unable to pass through a small gap between two objects :D.

    ReplyDelete
  34. HAHA

    I keep having awkward moments every time.

    I can feel you bro.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hahaha all the situations are awkwardly too funny! I couldn't stop laughing at the car parking one ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. You made my day by sharing this article I just enjoying each and every awkward point the best one which i already experienced is that food stuck in between the teeth.

    ReplyDelete
  37. These feelings are so super real. Where I live, in Tonga, it is culturally inappropriate to watch movies with any kissing for young folks of the opposite sex. so once there is a kissing scene. off the movies goes, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  38. These are so super real. I have come through only 4. Wrong route, hugging a new friend who my friend had introduced, chubby boy and gifts by lover or friend.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can really when it comes to cracking a very dry joke. It reached that point when they were not even laughing about the joke but at me for being so awkward!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I just laughed out loud at the awkward hug part. I have totally done that so many times. SO embarrassing!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Haha! This is such a great and hilarious list! I'm that awkward person in the restaurant all the TIME! It's crazy! I feel like I've felt all these moments and you described them perfectly!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thank you soooo much each and everyone of you for the immense love and support. will keep entertaining you guys. Stay tuned. Stay happy.
    Spreading lots n lots of love. ❤️ ❤️

10 Silly and dumb things we all do

When was the last time you did something dumb or absurd? No matter how poised and elegant we tend to present ourselves everyday ,every moment, we always end up showing our fat-headed self at one point or the other. May it be FROM running to fetch a bubble wrap that has just fallen off the delivered package TO purposely ignoring an email and replying after an Era, that it ended up in the spam folder (What? Really?? What a rude human you must be!??) 😛 FROM secretly peeping into a near by trolley in the supermarket and judging their existence TO trying to overtake the fast walker in the pavement and end up walking like a pregnant ostrich in a hurry. FROM metally threatening your laptop to throw it off from the cliff, while it takes ages to reboot or when the screen freezes, TO trying to enact a lame sentimental movie scene (that you binge watched) while the water droplets drag themselves down on your face from the top- in the shower. All of us have been there- behaving like a

7 Annoying things people usually fake about

Finding fake things and people is lot more easier today than bumping into their genuine counterparts. In fact the most common thing people fake about these days is about having an exemplary, ultimate and the best weekend, while you would have in reality just dragged yourself from room to room in your dirty pyjamas binge watching your favourite Netflix series for the twenty fifth time with a huge basket of popcorn which you engulfed all by yourself. Faking has really become an everyday business today and it is okay only unless and until it doesn't annoy the person in front of you. Have you come across really exasperating and pesky people who annoyingly pretend certain things that it becomes so obvious.... so obvious.. that it is fake??!! 😒 Well here is a list of things that people by and large fake about..... 😏 Looks "Make up? No not at all.. This is how I wake up. May be you should start drinking more water", says the lady who I happen to stumble upon ev

Siblings - The struggle is real

Perks of having a sibling - the annoying one Scenario 1: Me: *Smiling at funny memes on my phone* My sibling : Mom! She has been chatting with her boyfriend for the past 25 hours and 25 minutes !! Me : #@$% Scenario 2:  Me : *walks by* My sibling: Shut up Me : No ,you shut up! My mom : *ye lls my name* Me : @#$%! Scenario 3: My sibling : *hits my head with a hammer*  Strangles me to death* Pu shes me into the bathtub full of water* T hrows me down from the balcony* Me *touch her with my pinky finger* My mom : How could you do it to that poor soul? She could have hurt herself badly?!!!!! Me : @#$%! Scenario 4: Me: *watching tv* My sibling: Quickly fetches the remote and changes (though it was her favourite show too) Me : Hey ! Don't you like it too. Come let's watch together. My sibling : *reactionless* (change change change change for no reason) Me :@#$%! Next day:  My friend :

Relationship threshold

PC: the_capture_diaries Relationship!!! One of the most complicated words of all times! (atleast that's how we are made to believe) But is it? Nah! Not really. Just imagine- you get a soul mate, a confidante, an escort, a playmate, a companion, almost a complete family package including your siblings, your enemy, your crush, the annoying kid next door - all in one - for free free free. It's more like having an twin- an unadopted twin of yours with a lifetime warranty (who is technically not your twin ofcourse) with whom you can share goods and chattels, irritate, feel loved, miss, kiss and what not!? Have you ever rolled back to how it all began?? You meet your someone special , you get a spark- a thunderbolt strikes, you hear bells everywhere, there is music in your head and the juggling of every other cell in your body, butterflies here and there and everywhere and then finally you realize you are in LOVE. Initially you be all dressed up and poise and well behav
