Craig's Lists: Awkward Situations, Part 2

Last July I posted a list of awkward situations. I thought I had come up with most of the big ones but over the last few weeks I've begun to realize just how wrong I was. As such, here's a look at the original list with my latest additions:

The original list -

1. Trying to parallel park with someone sitting in the car behind where you'll wind up.

2. Having the sniffles or a cough during a big test.

3. Having your phone ring during an important meeting. Doubly awkward if it's set to a Kelly Clarkson ring tone.

4. A news caster waiting for an interviewee to say goodbye on tape delay so that they can move on but the interviewee just sitting there not knowing what to say.

5. Elevator ride after someone just ran for the elevator and you didn't try to hold it open for them.

6. Sitting in a room with someone else's friend after the mutual friend leaves the two of you alone.

7. Farting in front of strangers while in an enclosed area. (This also makes the Craigs list for funniest situational moments.)

8. Being on a date with nothing to talk about.

9. Going to a strip club and getting a lap dance from somebody you went to high school with.

10. Yelling at somebody in a fit of road rage and then being stuck next to that person at a red light.

11. While at Blockbuster having the clerk announce to everyone within ear shout that your rental of "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" is due back on Thursday.

12. Having to empty the contents of your carry on bag for everyone to see during a random security check at the airport. Doubly awkward if said contents include porno magazines, condoms, or sex toys.

And now for the new additions -

13. Getting off an elevator on the wrong floor and then having to get back on feeling like a jackass.

14. When somebody calls you by the wrong name and since you don't want the person to feel embarrassed you don't say anything and they just continue to call you by the wrong name for as long as you know them.

15. When you say something like, "I hate everything about Disney World." And the person you're talking to responds by saying, "I work at Disney World."

16. Being at a comedy club with somebody that you just started seeing and a comedian asks if there are any couples in the crowd and neither of you are sure if you should raise your hand or not.

17. When your parents meet your boyfriend/girlfriend's parents for the first time and alcohol is not involved.

18. When you call someone sir or maam and they're like, "what did you just call me?"

19. When you walk in on someone when they are masturbating.

20. When you are trying to avoid someone and they know that you are trying to avoid them and you know that they know.

21. When you are dancing like no one is watching and then realize that someone is watching.
