There's awkward, and then there's modern awkward. What's the difference? Well, not even ten years ago, you didn't feel uneasy without your phone in public place, you didn't feel schadenfreude of someone's text messages split by each word, and you definitely didn't feel uncomfortable going out without any makeup on.
Mariya, also known as Pinks&Roses in the online comics society, perfectly illustrates these everyday awkward situations in her little black, white and pink girly sketches. She likes to keep her comic strips authentic and draws them mainly by hand, only adding the pink tones in Photoshop.
Mariya often illustrates her own problems in these funny comic strips, but sometimes she uses other people's misfortunes too. The purpose of her drawings, as she says, is "to spread a more lighthearted perspective on one's own daily life." And in our opinion, these funny comics indeed succeed at that.
Now, scroll along for a dose of awkwardly funny cartoons below!

i am more surprised she can sleep with her feed out of blanket...i couldn't :D
I can’t sleep with my feet IN a blanket ! It drives me crazy.
Load More Replies...I hate when this happens because I can NEVER sleep when I know I have to get right back up EARLY!!! Ahhhhh!! 😠 lol
And then you actually do fall asleep, but it happens like 15 min. before your alarm rings. ♥
Load More Replies...I can relate to this....especially when im supposed to travel... i have called it the "bus fever"
By the way, why is it that when you have an important place to go and need to be sober if it a meeting, you end up losing a significant number of hours turning from side to side, only for sleep to come in the last 30 minutes before waking up?
That's me. Have to go in early? No problem. I just won't sleep at all.
This is like my life - I have 4 wardrobes full of clothes yet wear the same half dozen things all the time
I’m the idiot who takes clothes on vacation that I never wear at home. Never wear them on vacation either.
Load More Replies...you always assume you're gonna spill food, or worse on at least 2 items of clothing per day on holiday and end up taking half your wardrobe...
It’s those “just in case” clothes that make my arms hurt 2 months after from lugging the luggage in the airports.
Load More Replies...I think girls can relate to this but for boys I think it's the other way around, for me I packed less but halfway on my vacation/holiday I realized I'm short of clothes even if it just for 1 to 2 days .
Never take espadrilles. Think of how much luggage real estate they consume.
They sound like a good idea when I am packing in an air conditioned room. Then I get on vacation where I’m hot and sweaty and hold on to my flip flops for dear life.
Load More Replies...You cant have many clothes I would need a removal van to take my wardrobes on a holiday
Load More Replies...Of course - well remember the days I packed comfy shoes to walk home in at the end of the day (or night) Now I just wear the damm comfy shoes
Load More Replies...My mom put a hammer in her purse when she chaperoned my field trip to the zoo, because she had just seen a news story the night before about kids trapped in an overturned school bus because the emergency doors were stuck. She decided, not on her watch! If anything happened, she wanted to be able to break out the glass! Of course, everything went smoothly, and the only casualty was her sore shoulder.
over proctective moms are the worst sadly i can see all her concerns
Load More Replies...Can relate. Except I sometimes carry spare clothes also. In case it gets colder. And shoes for rain. And umbrella. And s lot more food.
i offered to carry a small ladder round to friend's house yesterday " It is seriously lighter than my handbag"
Load More Replies...Hey, you forgot iron box, bread, dress, several underpants, cutex and nail art kit, mirror, tampon, soap, three make-up kits, eye pencils, lip balm, several empty paper bags, universal remote control (just in case they have to catch their favorite programs on the fly, bunny doll (or something of that sort), mini pliers (which most don't even use), toothpick... Am out of ink... damn!
so relating. . . I volunteered to carry my sister's small bag but when she handed it over to me it was unexpectedly heavy I managed to look inside while asking and scold her why she needs to put the whole house in the bag. Inside is make up pouch, coin purse, wallet, headset, two phones, phone charger, power bank, fan, sanitary napkin, face powder, water bottle, candies and a towel which all are jammed inside a small bag.
The other way around isn't much better either - I have a duvet that is slightly larger than the cover, so it bunches up in weird places... I wouldn't be surprised if each manufacturer decided to have uniquely sized duvet and covers just so you'd be forced to buy both from them.
That's why I sew my own: i can make it smaller to fluff up the duvet. #cozy
I prefer a simple bed sheet because when I sleep under a duvet, i wake up three times as tired as I went in.
Last meal should be consumed around 2, max 3 hours before sleeping. Or so they say. But if you do so, even a salad will keep you full until you fall asleep :)
I mean, I don't know anywone, who would not be hungry after 6 hours xD
Load More Replies...Aaaw! This is one of my favorite childhood-dreams! I dreamt my bed standing in the woods, bare, naked, only covered by a huge down duvet and the shelter of a fir, whole scene coverd in snow. Silence. A little rabbit looking for warmth beneath to me and we both bein very happy and cosy.
It's the worse. Mornings are already more depressing than they have any right to be. Throw in the cold darkness and its basically impossible to get out of bed without openly weeping like a child...not a big morning person
Nope, when you live in the tropic all your winters' chills comes from the fridge.
i keep my phone turned off just to stop irrevalent negative texts and calls - it is my birthday today and he has already phoned me 3 times todaya(nasty abusive stuff) and hammered on my door 6 times)
🎼🎵🎶Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you🎂🎈🎁
Load More Replies...Fake. They're all fake. WHAT IS THE POINT OF FAKE POCKETS?!?!?!?!?!?!
Load More Replies...Really I'm sure none of the guys here has EVER said...."babe could you put these/this in your purse?" Y'all don't have purses cuz we carry everything lol
Since when men do not carry bags? Messenger bags and suitcases are quite popular.
Psst - the pockets are in the padded bra - we can stash all sorts in there
I don't even carry a wallet. Just phone, keys, and some cash, which is sadly also the famed Chyppa family treasure :D. My pants are streamlined.
So what about ID or driver's license? How do you get around? Do you live in a big city with public transportation? Genuinely curious.
Load More Replies...As a 40 year old woman, it concerns me that callers still ask if my Mom or Dad can come to the phone. I'm like, "yeah, sure, Credit Union, I'll just facetime them in Florida for ya."
OMG - i get that all the time - can i speak to your mother NO
Load More Replies...my moms looks like she just bought it yesterday but mine looks like you just pulled it out of the trash... 30 years ago...
Story of my life. I have learnt to follow up any introductions given to my now with the disclaimer "I do apologise but I will have no idea what your name is again in about 30 seconds"
I don't know if this works but I heard someone say once that if you say people's names out loud - 'Hi James, Hi Liz'' - then it can help you to remember them. If anyone knows if this works or not I'd be interested. I haven't personally had the problem so can't test it!
Load More Replies...Passport photos are still better the ones you get on your driver license or other govt. issues ID cards.
True story! I recently got a new license and I swear they went out of their way to make me look like a serial killer, lol. O.o
Load More Replies...I looked much better in my driver's license photo but my passport photo looked like a mugshot...LOL
In Singapore, our passport expired every 5 years, so it gives me a few try to have a nice photo... Muahahaha... my last photo was taken in Portugal where the weather was nice and made my make up stay... I took against a white wall in one of the museum with natural light... voila!!! Good result... hehehe...
because they used short lenses... everything is flat and ugly then
Did I set right channel for my doggo on TV? will he enjoy.. my thoughts whole day...
Perhaps you could get a dog-cam and see which programmes he responds to? He might love day-time TV! We got a dog-cam to make sure our terrier was okay for a short while when he isn't used to being left alone (he normally has to put up with me!). He was so good and just watched the world out the window.
Load More Replies...At least you’re still by the door, I usually question this when I’m already at work!
No, that question doesn't pop up until you are miles away from home?
Yup, I did that a few times. The last time I was holding a plate of pasta. Elbow up, pasta down... Never again! I switched to the headbutt mentioned in the other comment...
Load More Replies...I love it how accidentally she's taller than the door in the 3rd pic
There's a great pitch. "Learn accounting while also curing your insomnia. All in one happy little book !" :D
She can keep it handy for those nights she can't get to sleep.
Load More Replies...Had a music history book this bad. Kept it for years for when I couldn't sleep. Only book that ever did me that way, lol.
Many years ago we managed without mobiles. We managed to get around the country and the world without them. What is the desperation to be "connected" or forever on games. Get a life
My bus has everyone on a phone!It is so quiet that I have no trouble reading my book though.
I get stared at on journeys cause I choose to read an actual book instead of stare at a screen.
Why one pizza for 3 people?! I ate my own full pizza, thanks. 33 cm.
Espacilly for teachers since they have to go a week early
Load More Replies...yeah this summer had soooo many plans.. first day of school my son and I were like wait... What?
Summer here runs from about May-September, only recently started staying below 95F during the day
I put ice cubes in my coffee...hot soup...I'm sensitive to temperature like a four-year-old
I do this with hot coffee until it is barely warm. (It's rarely cold where I live, and I run really warm normally). It freaks people out.
I'm american and this still upsets me(though to fair, I do live in england)
As a girl with very curly unruly hair, I love how it looks in the morning if I wash it right before bed. Still falls under the beautiful mess, but still. I like it.
My hairs pretty much always in the beautiful mess stage no matter what I do.
Ohhhh my mum's homemade Scottish broth is the epitome of this comic!
my mother in laws home made scottish chicken soup was to die for
Load More Replies...eh I used to freak out for an entire week before a trip.. this summer I packed for a two-week two country trip in 45-minutes and all I had was a backpack and a carry-on
That's my mom. When we went on holidays together i always had everything together the night before, and my mom woke up hours earlier to pack while i had a sweet good sleep :D
Yes!! I freaked my boyfriend out by taking up-close photos of a beautiful orb weaver spider we had in the backyard. He was upset I wouldn't let him kill it.
OMG, so true! Or even worse - I usually don't wear makeup (my skin is super sensitive) and I went for a job interview. The feedback I got was "your qualifications more than justify hiring you for this position, however, our office expects our employees to maintain a certain level of professionalism and preparedness in their appearance." I was in a business suit and my hair was flawless - the only difference between me and the other women in the office was that I wasn't wearing makeup. Sigh.
Sounds like you are better off not having them as your employer. That was awful! It’s their loss. I am severely allergic to camphor and it found in most cosmetics. So I am bare faced most of the time.
Load More Replies...This is why I always wear make-up when I go outside. Having 2 diseases that give me a huge lack of energy and very little, to sometimes no sleep, I don't want to look ill. Which I do when not wearing make-up. And yes, I am also pale, but that doesn't bother me that much). I do not always wear foundation, but I always wear makeup for my eyes. But often I find myself still using concealer and foundation because of the dark circles under my eyes because of my (often) lack of sleep. My make-up is purely for not looking ill/exhausted. Plus there still is a stigma around people in wheelchairs looking uncared (I hope this is the right word, English is not my first language. Please correct me if I am wrong). I want to look good and taken care of.
People at work used to ask if I was ill when I skipped makeup, nope, my allergies have just punched me in the face yet again, but thanks for asking, now I sometimes go a week or more without and no one says anything
True. But I do find myself shedding/losing much more hair than for example my friends, because of my medication. Until now, I have found no cure for it yet, like shampoo's etc (going to try new ones tomorrow).
Load More Replies...Men too. Need I talk about pieces of hair from private parts I find in random places? (Anyway, it's all a matter of physics → long hair vs. short hair. Unless your health says otherwise, of course.)
Load More Replies...Newest --> ok google, ok google, in the google home thing.
Load More Replies...I still carry a thin and small case with a mirror in it in my purse. You look way more horrible on your phone camera anyway :-D
Actually, in the original language (which is German) it is "Mirror, mirror..." ("Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand..."). I bet in Greek it is the same.
Load More Replies...you know, Mondays are hard enough anyway. how about Tuesday? oh wait I have that thing again.. I'll just wait till Friday. never mind, you know what, I'll just wait until next year .
Load More Replies...My girlfriend is quite the opposite. She will drink water from the first receptacle she finds in the dish rack. That includes empty jars and assorted containers, pans, shallow bowls and, in one memorable occasion, the tea kettle.
Nope - just that some people have problems drinking out of the 'wrong' container. She wanted a 'glass' of water.
Load More Replies...I drank out of a mason jar and my grandmother's house, made it easy to know which one was mine, had a cornucopia on it
I used to get something like Hot Pockets while grocery shopping, and would throw them into the microwave as soon as I got home, that way they wouldn't be the temperature of the sun once I was done unloading the car and putting everything away
You're suppose to hug for 20 seconds. 20 seconds might feel a bit long, but it's to achieve the full effects of a hug. A hug can mean a lot some
Pat on the back is the universal signal for not wanting to be hugged any longer, though.
Load More Replies...Ill do it! i only wash my hair like once a month! ... ill let myself out now
Once I saw myself on video while exercising. NEVER do that! Never! it's even worse than this second picture.
Never watch a video of yourself trying pole dance for the first time. It looks like a drunk orang utan
Load More Replies...BAHAHAHAHA. Same, Same. I'm a night owl, but my pup wakes me up at 7am every morning so... yeaaaaah
A Millioner? Do they mean a Milliner-someone who makes hats, or a Millionaire-someone with a net-worth over a million dollars?
There's also a third type, who like "negging" - you name your price, they get outraged and start insulting your merchandise, you, your family etc, claim they can find a better product for much less... and then ask for a discount.
"I can get something this for less at X" "ok go shop there"
Load More Replies...We have one in Danish. Kæreste. It means "dearest".
Load More Replies...Living on a farm for years the dogs were always bringing in *very* interesting stuff!
And this is why I now keep gloves like the doctors use in my kitchen, several boxes. Oh the disgusting things my furbabies like to play with.
This is literally my mom every time she goes to the grocery store.
I'm the first one! I've only been on a plane 4 times in my life, from Michigan to Florida (Disney World) and back both times. Once as a young teen and once around 2012-ish as a late 10yr anniversary.
One summer I’ll have like 80 and the next not a single one. It goes back and forth...
I don't ever have things I don't need. They are always on need but will keep heap.
Didn't try pumpkin spice until yesterday. It was good but was it "let's hype it up each year like it's the second coming of Christ" good? No
I don't drink coffee and people look at me like I've got two heads
I haven't worn a short skirt since I was 12
At least she didn't drank it, from experience I can say it taste horrible 😖
Load More Replies...once when i was little i was holding a cup of water and a plastic magnetic letter. after i took a drink reflexes happened and i bit into the plastic letter
When I had my dog (I miss her so much :( ) I used to stop multiple times during each walk just to pet her.
I'm always so nervous when I use the kind that are right in the middle of the store and are just curtains, I don't want to have this happen.
when I wake up my hair looks like Hurricane Katrina paid a visit in the night
My grandmother predicted something one time when I was in the movie theatre with her. She was wrong and didn’t say a single thing about it afterwards.
The disclaimer was needed because ppl get offended for nothing nowadays...If she hadn't done it you'd have seen people claiming "NOT ALL MEN!" etc...
Load More Replies...Nah, I'd rather eat at the table. But sometimes have to eat in bed because I don't have energy to get out of bed due to my diseases. Luckily in those cases my significant other always brings me my food or makes sure there is food next to my bed when he is working that day/time.
I could use a whole can of hairspray and my hair would still do whatever it wants.
I used to hate high-waisted jeans but then I had a baby and now I love them because they hide my tummy.
I've always liked mid-rise jeans until I had my kids. Now I like high waist jeans too for holding my tummy in.
Load More Replies...Accurate, since I always sit because I am in a wheelchair. But still wear them because I don't want my underwear showing when bending over or transferring to a car or something.
She doesn't seem to mind having it served in a mug anymore...
That was me for the last two years. It hasn't happened to me yet this year. Hopefully it won't ^^
Gad my front face camera is the worst, I don't know how but it makes me look grayish
Mine too. My nose is like the biggest most prominent part of my face.
