Awkward

People are sharing their experiences with growing up with doomsday prepper parents, or people they've crossed paths with that were just convinced that the apocalypse was looming heavy around the corner. Can't imagine how that could affect a child's outlook on life, if they're growing up around stockpiles of food and other life essentials like the world was about to cave in on itself at any moment. Definitely a stressful environment. 

Twitter user @LauraKlein113 started up a viral Twitter thread on people's weirdest first date experiences. The reality is that in an era filled with numerous dating apps, that people are going to land themselves in some pretty strange dates. I mean, you never know what kind of crazy might lurk behind that next right swipe on Tinder. If you're on the hunt or some funny moments that very well could've led to unimaginably weird dates, from the wild world of Tinder, we recommend checking these out.

Seeing a star in person can have the effect of making you the stupidest person on the planet. Like, what do you say to a movie star if you're awkwardly blocking their way on an airplane? Seeing someone in person that you've seen in a movie, even someone you may not even particularly like, creates a scenario that most people just don't know how to deal with.

She really dodged a bullet on this one. We'll always turn back and give this classic live tweet another read through. Sounds like the precious and self-involved reader liked the sound of his own voice too much, to consider anything that his date was saying. 

What a bizarre predicament to find yourself in while you're just trying to crash at an Airbnb. This 26-year-old dude shared the actual handwritten note that he received from his host. Apparently they were all kinds of fired up over him having a strong odor. 

You better believe that people were more than ready to share their harrowing experiences when it came to their worst dates from the last decade. The world of dating is ripe for failures and unbelievably awkward moments to break out. These people lived to tell the tale of the kinds of dates they'd just as much never repeat in this lifetime. 

Twitter users are sharing their most awkward and cringeworthy encounters with celebs. These just sound painful.

Quora users are wildly unpredictable. We can only hope that some of these questions were meant to be satirical. Otherwise, we're dealing with a whole bunch of humans that are terribly lost and misguided. 

Whether it's overconfidence or a complete lack of self awareness, these folks just had to let everyone know how smart they thought they were, and in turn, showed everyone just how smart they ACTUALLY were. So here's a lot of over-explaining and complete bullheaded nonsense from self-titled geniuses whosmeared the internet with their cringeworthy bragging.

Someone on AskReddit asked for bilinguals to share their experiences with overhearing other folks that had no idea they could understand them. If there's one valuable lesson in this particular form of "overheards", it's that you never know who's listening! 

We're back at it again with a fresh collection of Tinder users either failing in epic fashion, or actually getting somewhere with the shameless pickup lines. It's remarkable how some of these people actually managed to get somewhere with their matches. 

It doesn't take much to bum out whole roomful of people. A bad tv connection, a stupid fight, or bad work news can throw an entire room into complete disarray. A lot of these include weird ways people got laid off. For more social job related moments here are some HR nightmare stories.

We're back at it again with a fresh collection of choosing beggars polluting the online world with all kinds of toxic entitlement. Some people really have themselves convinced that the rest of the world is their own personal ATM. There's just no reasoning with people like this.
