Whether it be bumping into an ex, farting at a funeral, or asking somebody when they're due when they're not even pregnant, we've all found ourselves in awkward situations at some point in our lives. But there's awkward, and then there's awkward, and as you can see from this cringeworthy list compiled by Bored Panda, some folks take it to a whole new level. Whether they're accidentally asking shop assistants for strap-ons, or walking into the house of somebody they don't know and catching them mid-coitus, the stories below will make you laugh, and they'll also (hopefully) make your own awkward encounters seem a little less embarrassing.

i don't see the problem. the other person is obviously for a new coat. just make him a offer.
At least you both have dirt on each other so noone can tell ;)
FRIEND: Hey, can you check your phone for the weather? I heard it's gonna rain. ME: Not according to my bush. FRIEND: What the... *calls 911*
Busted out laughing...can't be much worse than me introducing my son's bone marrow donor to about 150 members of our community at a community party I was throwing to thank everyone for helping us when my son was sick. I'm on the stage, my son's donor next to me, and was trying to say, This is my son's donor, Barry. Instead i said, this is my son's Boner, Darry.
Dude yelling that at your mum is embarrassing enough, time to move out f the basement
good Wife. And i will forever refer to every baby animal as ___ kittens!
taking a picture under the stall in the womens restroom as a man. rip bruh.
sing "they are taking the hobbits to isengard" to compensate the awakeness
I've done that. The "let me speak to your manager", "Okay, hold please", come back to the line with a different accent.
Was out with another single friend for Valentine's and as we were walking around he said "at least I can say I went out with a blonde for Valentine's". I went "wow, cool, who is she?". It was me lol.
Aww! That's not on you- your parents should have been watching you more closely! LOL
This pretty much sums up why religion is an awful thing for humanity.
That reminded me of an almost awkward situation I had, but I was saved by technology. I was taking the train home from work, and my home is near the very last station. So, as we get closer, the train gets emptier, but not really completely empty. I needed to fart, carefully tried to release it silently. I failed. However.... Looking around me, literally everyone was wearing earphones and either looked at their phones, or were asleep. Pheeeeew, what a relief.
Good that it wasn't a guy grabbing a gal - would have ended up on the sex offender list...
Amputee's should understand that, people don't know what to do in moments like this, it's not like we run into people like them all the time and just automatically know what to do...
Surely if you know the friend well enough to just walk in without knocking the door you'd know that they had moved house??
That's a magic wand massager . They're used for many things, not just getting off.
"If grandma haunts us are we going to see her in bits and pieces or..." Said by me...to my mother after her mom's memorial service (she'd been cremated).
Once at school I saw my teacher with a pile of books climbing the stairs to get to the 3rd floor since the elevator was broken, for the look in her face I was sure she was going to sneeze, I said 'Bless you' very loud. She never sneezed.
To my knowledge, only Americans do this. Why???? It must stink from leaving them around to fester. Don't you have tissues in your country?
way to mess with their little minds. when you see them in a few months, yell "happy halloween!"
we were in a restaurant and my step dad said something to the waitress and called her by name. she freaked out and almost ran away as she screamed, "how did you know my name?!". he took a step back and very kindly replied "nametag".
you were 5. i have had so many kids grab my hand, shirt, my leg or whatever only to realize i wasn't their momma.
No...go back and do it again loudly say "oh no i did it again!" Then laugh as loud as f*** as you leave...they will dismiss it as that girl is crazy and be ok with it
In fifth grade while we were having our class Christmas party all of the boys were trying to make each other flinch and blink so I decided to do it to one boy named trey and I was going to do the one where you put one hand on their cheek and then swing your other hand as if to slap them but then hit your hand instead but trey was turning around at the same time I decided to do that and I only had time to put one hand on his cheek so it was like I was hitting on him I was so embarassed
I was in a dvd store with my husband. I picked up a dvd and was looking at it while I walked up to hubby and held his hand. We stood like this for about a minute, when I looked up, I was holding hands with a complete stranger and he was just looking at me and smiling.
Then when he realised you had made a mistake and was there with someone already he became very sad.....
Load More Replies...S**t my pants at a boy scout camping trip, and so the other kids wouldn't know I ran out in the woods and I tossed the soiled undies. Was afraid I would freeze sleeping with no underwear so I wrapped myself in one of those tin foil emergency blankets. Woke up in a pool of sweat as I heard the rest of the scouts freak out because the scout masters dog went out in the woods and retrieved my s****y underwear and was going around tent to tent with s****y fruit of the looms in his mouth
I work for a wine company, selling wine to members over the phone. We sell other alcohol too and the conversation drifted to single malt scotches. Discussing the merits and prices of different aged scotches I managed to blurt out, "Any other 16 year olds I can interest you in?". I might have missed it but the room erupted. Eeep.
