MY AWKWARD MOMENT

(November, 2015) Jenny Lawson, a popular blogger, best-selling author, and Twitter favorite, tweeted an exchange she had over the weekend: Airport cashier: “Have a safe flight.” Me: “You too!” This prompted others to tweet their most awkward exchanges:
– I was once thanked by a grieving family member for coming to the funeral. I responded, “No, thank YOU!!”
– I texted my boss at the end of my FIRST DAY in the new job with: “Heading out. Love you.” intended for my boyfriend.
– I told a one armed man to tell his mother the flowers I just put together for her cost him an arm and a leg.
– Walked up to a baby-holding stranger – thinking it was my sister – at my daughter’s soccer game and said “Give me the baby.”
– I apologized to a woman I nearly bumped into in a record store. It was my reflection in the window. I just dyed my hair blonde.
– I noticed the blind man approaching me wasn’t sure where I was, so called out ‘on your right’ when I was actually on his left. He corrected me.
– The handsomest man I’ve ever seen once sat down next to me & said “Hi.” I responded with “I’m eating a tootsie roll.” He left.
– Pulled in to gas station & was on wrong side of the pump for my gas cap. Drove around to other side & did it again. Drove away.
– A friend once placed her order at a drive thru. She then heard “Could you drive up to the speaker, you’re talking to the trash can.”
– Got into the passenger seat of the wrong car outside of Starbucks. The driver waited until I finished my phone call to tell me.
– Sandwich shop cashier: “What’s your name?” Me: “Oh, uh, I have a boyfriend.” Cashier: “For the sandwich.”
* Forrest Gump summed it up pretty good: “Stupid is as stupid does.”
* This sounds like my life every day.
* Some of us don’t do awkward moments. We do awkward full-time. We’re stuck on awkward.
* This is the kind of story makes you just want to stay home.
* Actually, these are nothing, because we now live in a world where you can accidentally send a nude selfie to the wrong person.
* The tough part is pretending you were kidding.
