If you've been in a social situation, chances are you've been in an awkward one too. Like, when the waiter says "have a nice meal," and you reply "you too." Oh, the pain and the cringe...
There's a world that's only made of such comical and awkward situations, and it's the one created by Joe Holtby. Let us welcome you to it, the Portuguese Geese comics!
If you've missed the first part of these comics on Bored Panda you may easily find them here.

What is social awkwardness anyways? Joshua Clegg, a researcher in the field, states that "social awkwardness is what we feel when the situation threatens our goal of being accepted by others." If socially awkward people were to be described in medical terms, their symptoms would be failure to notice social cues, misreading of body language, and finding typical social interactions difficult to traverse.
RELATED:
The feeling in and of itself is mostly harmless, but sometimes it may cause some unwanted reactions like anxiety and stress. But there's nothing wrong with being socially awkward or being in a socially awkward situation. Some suggest thinking of it as a signal from your brain that tries to tell you that this particular social interaction isn't going as one thought it would.

What's a Portuguese Geese? Or, more accurately, who? It's the shadowy figure behind the comic that's been drawing comics since he was 5 years old and started doing webcomics in 2015. He once said that "90% of my work is based off personal experience, mostly awkward ones". One comic takes 2 to 4 hours to create and shading is the trickiest part.
Like any artist, Portuguese Geese has ambitions. "My goals are to eventually publish a collection of my comics in a book, and eventually I plan to make a full-length comic book based on a super hero I created when I was 9. I'd like to say to everyone, if you have a passion, you should pursue it. Don't listen to the haters, if you want to do something, do it!"
If you like the work of Portuguese Geese, give the comic a follow. It's the reason why these webcomics stay afloat, and artists appreciate every last bit of it. His Instagram has 14.3k followers, but it could easily jump to 15k!

This is something I have wondered for forever. LINK does everything, so why is it called the Legend of ZELDA? It's like calling Super Mario Super Peach.

Finally, an explanation for littering. "Oh, just giving the road a snack."

I feel this, every time at work when they look me in the eyes and drop it.

I switched schools in the middle of the whole online class thing, and so I had new teachers that I only ever communicated with through email. And so the teachers that I liked/thought they were nice/I felt like comfortable with them; I emailed them starting with "hi" and teachers who I did not like/I was scared of/I thought were mean got their emails addressed with "hello". So, you know, we all gotta have our own little secret victories.

Except for "Iron Knee." It was bad and they should feel bad.
