That awkward moment...

This wasn’t really an awkward moment as much as it was the store’s fault, but I went to the cash counter, and pulled out my credit card to pay with. It’s a brand new card, used only a couple of times. This was H&M btw. Anyways, the guy swipes it, and it doesn’t read it or it doesn’t work or something like that. And I’m all like…err I know it should work I don’t think I’ve reached my credit limit. So he tries it again, and same result. At the same time the guy’s giving me this look of “you poor person whose credit card doesn’t even work”. I paid with cash, and walked out, wondering if there was something wrong with the magnetic stripe of the card and how can I get it fixed. Anyways, walk into another store, and I thought hey, I’ll try my card again and let’s hope it works. I have my fingers crossed, and lo and behold, it works! H&M’s credit card machine just didn’t work

The poor student look, was it?

Re: That awkward moment…

I think the more I think the more my life just seems like one awkward circus

Shopping with the husband and found something interesting, so just grabbed his arm and was like “see that is awesome” - no reaction. Turn around and some gora is looking at me with the most pervy smile probably thinking “exotic fruit” about me.

I was on the plane coming back from Saudi to London when I spotted one of my friend, went upto him and seeing him sitting alone I asked him he was going to London without the family. He said yes to which I replied in Punjabi “kaley kaley ayashee karan ja rae ho”. He looked at me and said “my mother has just passed away I am going to her funeral”. I didnt know what to say.

Ehsan bhai, just reading that was painfully awkward - I can’t imagine living it. Ouch!

I remember once at a wedding, I was sitting with my brother and this guy who was someone who I knew from where I lived but at that point didn’t really know well. And there was a girl passing by and I commented to my brother that she is a looker, I later find out it was the guy’s older sister. Now I am not sure he heard me or not, my brother thinks he must have done.

To this day after becoming a good friend of mine I sure as hell hope he didn’t.

I had just arrived in France and was wandering in a shopping mall (Italie2 in Place Italie). Going into every shop, looking at the stuff and coming out. Next shop I went into and suddenly I saw huge collection of ladies undergarments hanging in front of me.

It took me couple of seconds to determine that I’m in a wrong place and there is no other male in sight.

Suddenly a girl approached me from the left side and I heard her saying Monsieur… I cut her in the middle and said *desole, au revoir! *and walked out of the shop.

Lol probably. I was there to shop so I wore clothes that I could relax in. I wasn’t there to model

Re: That awkward moment…

Uff I had one of the most embarrassing moments of my life recently - we have a family WhatsApp group (mum, dad, brothers, sister etc) and my husband made a comment in the family group… EXCEPT, I thought it was a private chat…

So I typed “okay ***, ji ***” i.e. the names I call him at home, in front of no-one… and he made one of those embarrassing smilies… and I was like what you doing? Then I realised I was talking in the family group… my dad read that - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Luckily my sister was with me at the time, so I told her to quickly ask an open-ended question which would generate discussion and take the focus away from my embarrassing faux pas! For the next 20 minutes I was holding my head in my hands saying I can never look at my parents again, someone dig a hole for me right here… lol

Re: That awkward moment…

Okay another one. This one is funny. So I’m trying to reverse parallel park, when another car pulls up in front of me trying to get past. Except he can’t get past because my front is sticking out and blocking his way, so he has to wait for me. I start feeling the pressure: I have to make a maneuver under the watchful eye of another driver!

So: I try to reverse back to give him way, except I get too close to another car, so I panic, stall, try turning the car on again but accidentally turn the wipers on… twice… then die of embarrassment!

Not even on the same level but I remember when we were youngish me and brother had a common toilet. And we would knock on the door or bang on it in jokes or to irritate the other. Once it happened I was already in a bad mood and it annoyed me a lot so even before the second knock I flew off my handle with some baaad swear words only to hear my dad’s voice: ‘Shak betay agar aainda mai ne iis kisam ki fazool baatein sunin toh phir dekhna’

Made a normal latreen experience very uncomfortable.
