SITTING THROUGH UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS

Reddit asked, “What’s the most uncomfortable situation you’ve ever had to sit through?” Some of the responses:
– “We were having a goodbye retirement party for one of our best sales ladies. The boss gave her a cake and she said “I don’t want cake, I’m not retiring, you are forcing me out, this is BS and you know it.”
– “I was looking at my moms phone cause she wanted to show me some pictures from what she did that weekend. I swiped one too many times and came across one of her nudes.”
– “My friend telling me how awful his relationship was becoming and wanting to end it, moments before his girlfriend texted me for advice on how to tell him she was pregnant.”
– “At the movies, I interlocked my fingers with the kid sitting beside me for a full minute. Turns out, he wasn’t my kid.”
– “I went to a wedding where the grandmother of the bride wrote a poem and performed a spoken word sing songy reading of the poem at the reception. The poem was like 10 pages long. It took her almost an hour to complete the reading because she kept getting lost.”
– “Friend won free tickets to a concert, I said yes. not knowing who it was. On the way, found out it was John Tesh. Figured, ‘Oh well, I can always just leave and go get a drink.’ Turns out the tickets were front row center, and very close to the stage, and Tesh kept continually playing to the front row. Everyone around me is really getting into it. I couldn’t move.”
– “Helping my friend pack up her stuff when leaving her husband. While he sat on the couch and cried.”
