50 Times People Had Such Awkward Exchanges, They Just Had To Share Their Pain Online
The world would be one hell of a boring place without the endless amount of awkward conversations people endure on a daily basis. When you’re in the middle of it, it’s very little fun indeed. We get it. Blushing, sweating and wanting to disappear are some of the very well known adverse effects that come with it. But that’s the price to pay for one heck of a story you gotta tell months and even years later. So in perspective, it’s relatively cheap, right?
So today, we are going on a cringeworthy trip into hilariously painful and embarrassingly awkward exchanges between individuals that have been shared by people online. Scroll down through the collection of priceless convos below, upvote your favorite ones and be sure to share your own awkward convo experiences. And if it feels like you’ve heard similarly cringey dialogues in the first seasons of The Office, it’s likely because only reality can be stranger than fiction.

Aaaand that's why some of us don't do surgery... Speaking as an MD, back in the day, you're in med school and they ask, "Who here vomits easily?" Nobody ever says "I do." Then they open up the cadaver, and oh, yeah, you should've said. The vomit was, frankly, worse than the cadaver.

Haha, oops. Yesterday morning my daughter and I were having a chat. She stopped for a minute and started talking into her phone to send a voice message to her bf. I thought she was done and let out a fart. I realised she hadn't finished when she started laughing. She played it back, and yep, you could hear the fart. We said if her bf hears it we will blame the dog.

I hate those things. It really does seem like they are talking to you and then they always have the nerve to get pissy when you respond as if you routinely look at people's ears before talking

No, I would've done the same. She should've been more specific. I want ice cream.

Put yourself in her shoes. She is probably posting on Reddit this very moment "Some weird guy asked me if he could pet a muffin I was holding" (I figured that "...he could pet my muffin..." would sound even weirder)

In fairness I've never heard of wine served by the liter even in metric countries. In Russia its glass or bottle.

Reminds me of my dad when he forgot his glasses and asked my mother who the weird guy by the door was. The "weird guy" was a coat hanger in a restaurant.

Well I guess you could chat with him and see if it was the right decision

Librarians help a LOT of people. There is a good chance they didn't know you. They were probably ready to point you in the direction of the bathroom except you turned and left. They wouldn't have known what to do with the money so it would have been entered as a donation at the end of the day. Lastly, library accounts expire after a year and at my library are deleted after two years of inactivity, meaning no record of the original fine. It's been three years, it's time to go back and start afresh.

Same thing happened to my grandmother. She thought her son (my dad) was calling from college. It was actually some other college kid trying to call his mom. They had a nice chat before they figured it out.

First of all, maybe they should've started with that and secondly, please learn how to phrase, no matter your position. Not taking orders seems like a good response.

This is totally something I would have done but instead of walking out I’d have gone bright red and probably repeated myself In the hope they just understood

How was the muffin? Was someone else petting it? Did it have glass shards in it?

Is it normal to just get into a car without actually asking if they are your ride. I have only taken an Uber twice and both times I asked if they were booked for "my name".

Poor prof. I hope he at least sent a follow up to find out about what. And its still better than the ones who email the night before the exam because they either a) missed all the classes, or b) understood nothing and think they can learn everything to pass in the next 6 hours.

I thought you were going to correct them because the idea there was a predicted end to the world in 2012 is not true anyway.

And they discuss about this process, because the man with the new heart is a convict. He stabbed lots of people. And now they discuss if he is a guinea pig for a operation nobody else ever made.

This is confusing. If it wasn't on when they got on it, how did they run "up" a moving escalator?

I did a FANTASTIC one this week. On Monday, I joined a new choir. For a woman, I have a deep voice and I sing tenor. We were working on a song where baritones and tenors were singing together. She wanted to be considerate of me, so she kept saying, "Gentlemen and Jo" every time, and it prompted people to look at me. I didn't want the extra attention. So after practice, I decided to let her know I was okay for her to just lump me in with the men and not call me out specifically. I put on my mask and it was quite high up near my eyes. I went over to her, not sure how to phrase my request, I reached out to touch her arm, but because my mask was up so high, I ended up grabbing her breast while saying, "It's okay, you can call me a man." My life.

At work, somebody with a deep smoker voice (i don't know how to say that in english, sorry) call me and I say "What can I do for you, mister ?". The voice responded : "In fact, I'm a woman, I have throat cancer". Even 3 years after that, I feel bad.

At one of my old retail jobs I would occasionally answer the phone and after the normal into of hi this is my name thanks for calling this business I would either say "how can I help you?" Or "what can I do for you today?" Once I was working late and answered the phone and skipped the whole intro and blurted "HOW CAN I DO YOU?" I just handed the phone to my coworker and walked away.
