embarrassing

A date can be a little like a deal in a mob movie. Both parties are skeptical of the other, but are still mutually invested in the interaction going well. Often you choose a public place with exits, so just in case things go pear-shaped and someone brings their mom, you've got a way out. Here are some Tinder dates that went south real fast as well as some awkward first dates.

Words fall short. Sometimes, we enter into the world and through our series of attempts, a historical fail arises. In this case, it looks like mom got a bit confused when it came to figuring out how scales work. She was convinced that grams weren't being accounted for in that scale. Thankfully, she had someone close to her who was able to provide clarity for the situation. 

There seem to be those awkward moments that are just so damn common, but for some reason we can't get used to. We've tried to forget about those little moments like when you can't tell listening to you at a party, or that weird smile everyone does when you've already said hi. For some pristine awkwardness, here are some of people's weird first dates and awkward high school reunions.

Sometimes the brain clocks out for the day. Yes, these folks experienced some hilarious autopilot moments. You know, when you're in one environment, maybe at work, but some part of your brain thinks that you're elsewhere. Sometimes this comes about through sleep deprivation, while other times, it seems to be a totally random misfiring of neurons. Naturally, the resulting moments make for hilarious fails. 

Everyone's phone contains something embarrassing from stupid google searches to saucy photos, to saucier photos, to straight up Ragu. Here are times people embarrassed themselves by letting their digital lives be seen by the wrong eyes. For some more embarrassment, here are awkward moments people had with their crushes.

A big thanks to Anbara Salam for the comedic relief during these troubling times. She provides an account of what was the most embarrassing moment of her life. It sounds like the original plan to enjoy a nice therapeutic sauna ended up giving way to being locked out in the cold, utterly naked. 

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of catching someone red handed, and deeply humiliating or inconveniencing them in the process. We've seen a guy get satisfying padlock revenge on gym thief as well as habanero cake revenge on food stealing roommates. This one, however, uses fear.

This guy had quite the fail after wolfing down a wonderful six egg omelette, and then realizing that it was intended for the whole family. Yikes. There it is. The fail occurred, and some solid stress-induced indigestion likely resulted. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to get real with it and share their most embarrassing moments. These are just mortifying. It sucks when you realized you've messed up or said something undeniably dumb, and all there is to do is to own the fact that you've made a proper fool out of yourself. 

We're all just trying to get through the day without having our everyday lives derailed by chaos. Thankfully for most of us, we do that. For a select few, unfortunate moments give people a bad time. It's sort of cathartic to see just how every little thing can go bad, and you can count your lucky stars that a day went by without some horrible crap happening.

This embarrassed employee shares a tale about a particularly embarrassing experience at a new job, where they were overheard by coworkers while reenacting the infamous Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. Kind of an awkward situation to get caught up in. 

Almost everyone has that moment when they're thinking about a time years ago someone asked them some obviously pointed question like "are you good at back rubs?" or "do you want to wash your pants at my house?" All you can really do is feel bad about not realizing it and move on. Here are some earth-shakingly obvious hints that guys missed. To be fair, sometimes "obvious hints" end up not being hints at all.

Twitter user @ItsAndyRyan, shared an embarrassing story about the time he accidentally stole an ice cream cone from a family gathering. Other people were ready to bond over the awkward and uncomfortable, by stepping forward to share embarrassing moments of their own. 

Twitter user Ella Martine casually let everyone know of a small family text screw up wherein some handcuffs mysteriously made their way onto her bed frame. Sounds a little embarrassing. She claimed that it was for a video her roommate was shooting for school. Predictably, twitter had a real hard time buying that story.
