OP's very incredibly lucky the waitress didn't flip out on him. If a stranger tried to hug/kiss me when I've never seen them before in my life, I'd be a little less sang froid about it.

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread I did community service with a youth group when I was around 10-11. Around the Christmas holiday, we bought and wrapped a bunch of gifts to take to an old folks home. I pick up a gift and walk over to this elderly gentleman. I’m swelling with pride and eager to drink in the large glass of “thank yous” I’m about to be served. He opens a really nice pair of slippers and looks at them for a moment:

“What the hell am I supposed to do with these?”

“You put them on your feet,” I delightfully exclaim.

“I haven’t had feet since Vietnam.”

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread Copied from another question I answered cos I'm too lazy to retype.

I worked on a deli counter and that meant having to give customers free samples when they wanted to try a product.

Let me first say I can be very socially awkward sometimes and I am not a very confident person - I was about 22 years old at the time. Female btw.

Guy in his late 40s/early 50s comes to the counter and wants to try some olives - I go to the cupboard behind the counter and get a small plastic shot glass and a cocktail stick and put some olives in and go to offer the guy the glass.

He holds up both arms and shows his hands are full with bags - he then proceeds to open his mouth up, indicating he wanted me to feed him the olive.

I was kind of shocked and didn't really know what to do, I wanted to avoid conflict with the customer and have him go away so I just used a cocktail stick to get an olive and held it out towards him - he then ate the olive off the stick but let his mouth close round my fingers - it was honestly one of the most disgusting things that has ever happened to me and for ages after I could still feel the wetness of his mouth on my fingers - I must have scrubbed my hands a million times

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread Okay I already posted in this thread but I remembered something even worse.

When I was in 2nd grade, my brother and I would always be picked up after school by my dad. We had a green van with a red stripe on the side.

So my brother grabs my hand and storms us up to the car. He rips open the door, sits us down, buckles me in, and then says "Can we get mcdonalds on the way home?"

We both look up and there is two middle aged adults sitting in the front seat that are OBVIOUSLY not our family. They stare at us, we stare at them. In my little brain we've been staring at eachother for at least ten minutes at this point.

My brother unbuckles me, unbuckles himself, we get out and walk away. No words were exchanged.

We then checked who was in the car before getting in from that point forward.

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread When I was in elementary school, I hated using the public bathroom, and would always use the nurses bathroom instead. She was nice and understood this. However, one day I needed the bathroom and she was not around, so I let myself in. Shortly afterward, the nurse came back with a student and begun feeding him with a stomach tube. I was horrified. I realized that this was a closely guarded secret and decided to wait in the bathroom for it to end, hoping to sneak out later. But very shortly after it ended, more and more students with secret medical needs kept coming, and the hole kept getting deeper and deeper. Finally, after an hour and a half in the bathroom, I walked out. The nurse gave me a horrific glare, and the student looked just as uncomfortable as I felt. When I got back to class the teacher yelled at me in front of everyone for being gone so long, and I panicked/lied by yelling at the top of my lungs "I HAD DIARRHEA!". All the kids in class laughed at me, and the part that sucked was that I now knew most of their embarrassing secrets.

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread I've told this story once before, but when I was around 10 years old I was sleeping over at my best friend Juan's house. We usually stayed up really late playing and would sleep in until like 11 or 12, which I loved because I rarely got to do that at my house.

At about 8 am his dad comes into the room and tells me to get dressed because he needed my help. His dad was a big drinker, so either his breath reeked of beer from last night or he had one for breakfast, either way he was a bit buzzed. He tells me he needs my help picking out a toy for Juan as a surprise and we were going to drive to Walmart.

So we get in the car and drive down to the Wal-Mart which was like 10 minutes away from his house. It was a pretty awkward ride and he starts asking me questions to make small talk, like how I was like school and if I had a girlfriend yet.

We get to the Walmart and he takes me to the you section and asks me what toy I think Juan would like. I walk around and see Darth Vader's Tie Fighter. Juan and I were huge Star Wars fans and even went to go see Empire Strikes Back in theaters when it was re-released, so I knew he would like it. He buys the toy and then we have another awkward car ride back.

He thanks me for helping and asks me to keep it a secret. I changed into my pajamas again and tried to go back to sleep, but about 10 minutes later his dad comes in and surprises him with the toy and gives me a wink.

I found out a few years later that the reason he had me go on this mission to get the toy was because he had been really drunk a couple of nights ago and hit Juan and he wanted to make it up to him. As far as I know that was the only time that ever happened, but I don't really know since we lost touch after 8th grade. It was just a such a strange and awkward morning.

I was at my aunts house for Christmas meetup (my whole family from my mother's side is always there) and we were just talking about some stuff, the "s****y life pro tips" subreddit came into my mind, and I told her that there are some tips like "you should drive faster when you are drunk, because driving drunk is dangerous and you get home faster".
I was laughing, she just sat there, looking at me like frozen, and then told me with her voice breaking: "That would be funny, but did you know that one of my best friends died 2 months ago because he was driving drunk? And he was too fast." She then started to cry. I really wanted to stop existing at that moment, trust me

I told one of my classmates to punch me in my stomach, not too hard obviously. We counted down...I tensed up, they punched...I farted. Good times!

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread This poor girl walked into my lecture by mistake about halfway through. This particular professor really enjoys talking to all of his students and was super engaging even with 400+ students in his class.

When the girl walked in, my professor stopped teaching, looked at the girl and asked if she was in the class. She said she was and began walking towards the front where the open seats were. This is a fairly large lecture hall and all 200 students (approx how many actually show up to class) were now forced to watch this poor girl walk towards a seat because the professor didn’t continue talking and just stared at her.

She got close to the front and I think the pressure of the whole room got to her and she said, “actually no I’m not,” and turned around and we all had to watch this poor girl climb back up the stairs and out of the hall.

I was literally watching my worst nightmare.

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread My family's not super religious but, when I was about 13, they decided to go to synagogue on Purim for some reason. Part of Purim involves reading from the Book of Esther, which has a part about Esther coming to see the king while he's sitting on his throne in the throne room and when he sees her, he stands up and extends the golden sceptre.

When the rabbi got to that part, my 13 year old brain pictured Esther coming to see the king while he's sitting on the shi**er and burst out laughing. No one else laughed. Instead, everyone turned to stare at me and I had to explain myself to an entire room of people.

30 Of The Most Uncomfortable Situations People Ever Found Themselves In, As Shared In This Thread When I went on my first solo date back in high school. I had a huge crush on this girl, thought she was really cool and I loved her art and I couldn't believe she said said yes. We went to the zoo because it was free and we were just broke teenager and we had a blast. Went to grab some food at this place before having to split off to go home.

Our trains were heading in the opposite directions and the entrances were across the street from each other, so I walked with her to her side to say goodbye. I closed my eyes and awkwardly leaned in to give her a kiss goodbye, and she went in more for a hug. I ended up headbutting her in the face and her nose started bleeding. I was so embarassed and didn't know what to say, so I just asked, "Are you okay?" She replied, "I think so." Still not knowing what to do I just said, "Okay, bye!" and then ran across the street to catch my train.

It was so painfully awkward and embarrassing, I avoided her for weeks after that.

I have a loooong list of embarrassing stuff that's happened to me, but this is probably the funniest. I was at work and my supervisor called me. Before moving on to the thing he wanted me to do he asked how I was doing and I mentioned that my birthday was that weekend. He said hey, why don't you come up to the front office for afternoon tea? I said sure and when I arrived there was a cake on the table and a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" banner had been hung up. And guess how I responded? By asking whose birthday it was. I have never seen so many blank confused stares before in my life. Then, just to emphasise the sitcom ridiculousness of the moment, the HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner broke the embarrassing silence by suddenly falling off the wall.

He repeated what he heard. I kept hearing my name, but with 1 letter difference. So I said my name again. He said the same thing, but I still thought he wasn't saying it right. We went back and forth 3 more times. Turns out he had a lisp, and had been saying it correctly the whole time.

Reminds me of one of the classic Penny Pollard's Diary books where Penny (an Australian kid) meets a guy from Texas who introduces himself as "Barb". She thinks it's a weird name but okay. Then, right at the end of the story, Penny's friend informs her that the guy's name is BOB and he probably spent the last week thinking she was making fun of his Texas drawl.

Fríck... I didn't want to share this, but here it comes: when I was around 10, my uncle had a gf, who had a tiny Yorkie named Robin. He was really cute and all, and one day, they all came to my house to have dinner and just meet him well. Suddenly, he grabs my uncle's foot with his front paws and starts swinging his hips. Everybody got mad and all, but I thought it was hilarious because he looked like he was dancing. So, a couple of hours later, my mom asks me to go to bed, so I thought it would be hilarious to drop to the floor, grab my mom's foot, and swing my hips like Robin did. They all looked at me horrified, and I was confused as to why they weren't laughing at my goodbye act. My mom later explained to me that Robin was... pleasuring himself with my uncle's foot, and I basically pretended to do the same. TLDR: I pretended to húmp my mom's foot without knowing what that meant

The ultimate awkward story: my husband's bio parents were divorced when he was just a kid, but he/brothers/sisters would sometimes go visit bio dad and new wife in another state for several days. Fast forward to MANY years later - we are married and dad's 2nd wife passes away. All his kids head to the funeral to support dad, many stay in his home. We go to receiving of friends, and a few of us end up in conversations with people we don't know who ask "how did you know her?" Me: I am married to one of his sons. Other person: what? he has more than one son? Long story short, 2nd wife's family was extremely religious and didn't believe in divorce, so she never told them this was a second marriage for him and the visiting kids were not his nephews/nieces instead of his children. So here is a whole room full of people simultaneously mourning her loss and finding out that she had actually lied all these years and these were her stepchildren.

One of the bartenders at my son's wedding saw the flowers on my wrist and asked me who I was. I said I was the mother of the bride. I was not drunk as I was only drinking Coke and it was the beginning of the evening. Someone, I can't remember who but probably THE mother of the bride, corrected me and we all laughed.

There are many times I've been taking people on test drives, and it has gotten awkward, like when I'm forced to tell them to pull over, we're switching and going back (for instance, I have zero tolerance for people attempting to get the collision mitigation to go off). And then people arguing. But, one time not long before COVID, we were way out, taking a long test drive, they started arguing, we get to the switch spot, they both say "I want a divorce." They're serious. That was an uncomfortable 13 minutes back.

I was at my sister in law's phd graduation ceremony from an ivy school on the East Coast. She and her mother, my mother in law, were never very warm to me, so being with them always felt a bit awkward. The ceremony was held in a smallish chapel, and just as it began, a man in the aisle behind me stood up and began making his way out of his aisle, somehow managing to catch a good portion of my long hair in his coat button. At first, I grabbed at my head, to make him aware, but he didn't notice and ripped a significant patch out of my scalp, resulting in a scream from me, despite trying to remain silent. The place had been so incredibly quiet until I let out my anguished cry, so everyone turned to see what was happening. Well, the man never noticed what had happened, and he exited the chapel. Meanwhile, my husband (now ex, btw), broke out in a case of the giggles, which we were unable to suppress! My mil shot us a look to kill, and I believe my sil never forgave me.

Embarrassing in a "made me feel worthless" way, but when I was about 17 I dropped out of high school. I had missed a month of school from chronic insomnia after my dad had surgery, and completed the makeup packet on my first day back at lunch, so there was no point in my staying because I wasn't actually learning anything. Spent the weekend at my aunt's house, she asked how school was going and said she was proud of how well I had been doing. I didn't have the heart to tell her I dropped out. When my dad picked me up, I sobbed the whole ride home because I felt like I'd made a horrible mistake. Parents proceeded to chew my aunt out for two hours for making me cry.

I met my minister and a charity worker at a restaurant for coffee and to talk about community charities. I was making my coffee at the sweetener bar and my minister walked up, we chatted, and then he left but I thought he came back, so I kept talking. A whole two sentences later I look up, wondering why he hadn't answered, and it's this complete stranger (model looking of course) who is just staring at me. I could only say, "You're not my preacher." He went, "No, ma'am, I am not." LOL

In line at the grocery store and I turned and asked "Are you gonna give me some money or what"? To a man who was not my husband. He kind of smiled and said, "I don't know. What are you gonna do for me?" My husband lost it & I turned purple.

I was getting carded for some brew. Had a casual convo about it with the cashier. I said something along the lines "ah, my bad, let me get my card. I haven't been carded in a while". I was like 26-27 at the time and he noted he would only card if I don't look over 45. I didn't say anything other than a friendly farewell after checking out. I didn't know what to feel or respond at the moment. I'm a laid back person and doesn't get mad easily. It felt so awkward.

I was the chick in the wrong class once. I had two college classes that were at the same time on different days, and the rooms were right next to each other. I also have trouble remembering faces, so tend to just assume I'm remembering people I don't know very well wrong if I don't recognize them (I am also very shy and didn't talk to anyone much, if at all). So one morning I get to class, sit down, get my things out and am patiently waiting for class to start. A woman who I knew was not the teacher (I think I assumed a guest lecturer or something, it's been a while ago) came up asking me what I was doing there. So I said, "I'm here for class" and she told me I wasn't in that class (small classes sizes). It took me a bit to realize I had my days mixed up, and then I had to walk into my actual class next door after it had already started...

When I was 16 I worked in a restaurant. They had a sink with a problem and called in the district "handyman." I had met him before - a nice guy in his 40s probably. It was slow and I was watching him work. Trying to be be helpful, I asked him if he wanted me to hold his caulk. It was out of my mouth before I could think. He stared at me a minute before I just turned around and walked away. I wanted to sink into the floor.

Back when I worked at McDonalds as a teenager, I was at the back sink alone when I suddenly had the itchiest thigh. Since I was alone I reached down the front of my pants and started scratching my upper, inner thigh. Well.... My male manager walked back (my best friends now husband) and saw me. I was so flustered and embarrassed that I didnt explain what was happening, all I said was "I'm going to wash my hands I swear"

My most recent mortifying experience - as the bosses wife, I feel like there's an expectation to be sociable at the office Christmas party, even though I would rather be at home with my husband and a book. So I have a few drinks to loosen up, then go around and start having one on ones convos with the staff. Until the new guy who took me being friendly and a little drunk as a cue to proposition his bosses wife! I noped out of that conversation there was a cartoonish puff of smoke left behind.

I was about 12 or 13 when I started my periods. That evening we all visited my mum's aunty Margaret and her family. We were all standing there in the kitchen, adults chatting, me wishing I was somewhere else when my mum suddenly points at me and says "have you got a chair for her to sit on, she started her periods today" my dad then grinned at me, punched me jokingly on the arm and said *yep, she's a woman now". I didn't speak to my parents for weeks after that.

when I was little we would go to church. my mom had this super soft black jacket she wore every day because it was cold. we were leaving mass. I got up from the pew, held her arm and rested my head on it, eyes closed as we walked out. I was really tired. we got outside. I heard the priest chuckle with my mom, "When do you think [ve] will notice?". immediately noticed my mom's voice was not from the person I was holding onto. suddenly realized I was holding a strangers arm and let go. was a dude with his wife, he had the same style of jacket as my mom. I ran away and grabbed onto my mom's arm and cried. the guy was nice about having a kid hold onto him at least.

I'm not surprised to find and read articles about Dr Ozigidon on this site because his powerful spell is not new to me. My passion for love and life has made me take on here to tell everyone how Dr Ozigidon brought back my husband who has been gone for 6 years. It was all confusion and distress to me when my husband whom I love and cherish wouldn't love me anymore but rather chose to stick to another lady at the expense of my feelings for no convincing reason making me crazy. But that's all history now as Dr Ozigidon has proven himself worthy to be called a true and chosen spell caster as he has wiped out my tears by bringing my husband back to me. Do you need your Ex back or you have been faced with any problem and you need help urgently contact Dr Ozigidon via email:drozigidonhnez.spell. net @ gmail. com

After my husband of 16 years broke up with me, I could barely speak without crying. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I could get him back and the anxiety was unbearable. I contacted Dr Ozigidon on Whats-App via +2349054750112, not knowing fully what to expect but knowing I needed somebody who had been there for others before. I wanted our marriage back and so I wanted to make sure I had all the guidance and resources possible to do that. Dr Ozigidon was simply wonderful. His presence is calming and I could tell that he genuinely cared. With his powerful spell he suggested I do to get [my husband] back seemed difficult. But I knew I wanted to get him back, so I followed and did all that was required for the spell that Dr Ozigidon laid out for me. Within the week, we were back together as easily as I never thought and we are so in love! I know that it doesn't always happen that quickly, in my case, it could happen that soon - and it did! I'm so grateful and
