haha, once my mom and I were in a restaurant and I ordered an omelet and the waitress brought the wrong kind. So my mom told her "this is wrong, we ordered [blah blah blah]" and the waitress just said, "No you didn't. You ordered this." what the shit?

That's happened to me before now.
I just ask them if they're calling me a liar, and if they are I'd like to speak to their manager. They soon STFU and get me what I ordered.
Getting orders wrong and not having the good grace to rectify your mistake /facepalm

I hate sh*t waitresses.

Once a girl I knew walked up to me and asked me where this lad was. I replied, jokingly "he's passed on". Turns out a friend of hers had died in a car crash the day before. Thankfully the one she was talking about didn't, but you get the point.

Whenever you **** up in the most ridiculously impossible way in sports.

When you're talking to someone who stutters and they take so long to finish the sentence that you forgot what they said in the first place: "Yeah..." *nods*.

Once a classmate of mine who stutters was speaking in class and he was trying to say some word with an "s". So basically he went: "ssssssssssssssss..." and I shouted BOOM!

I have no idea why.

I think I posted this years ago, but I suppose it qualifies as an awkward social situation, albeit pretty rare to say the least.
It wasn't so much awkward for me...more the wife (then *girlfriend).

We were on our first holiday as a couple in Crete and were sunbathing on the beach.
My *wife had just started her period that morning and she had to change her tampon only minutes earlier (rather discreetly I might add, because she couldn't be arsed finding a bar with a toilet while she was in her bikini) and put it in a small plastic bag which she placed under her sun lounger.
I know, I can't take her anywhere!

Unfortunately, it attracted the attention of a small scruffy Greek dog which began to sniff around the bag and then proceeded to shake the bag with it's teeth.
Meanwhile the wife, completely unaware of what was going on, as she was reclining with her eyes closed catching some sun, while I was watching open mouthed in horror.
I blurted out, "Sam!..."Sam!!"..."SAM!!!"
She bolted upright wanting to know what the hell was going on, but it was too late!
The dog had already dragged the bag from behind the sun lounger and taken the tampon out and was shaking the fucking thing by the string!!!
Sadly, by now, just about everyone else in the immediate vicinity had seen what was happening...all except the *wife. And she was demanding, loudly, what it was I wanted.
She'd seen the others dying not to laugh, but the dog had already run off with the tampon. She looked so confused.
I tried to tell her it didn't matter and that it wasn't important...but she was insisting!!!

What could I do?

The worst is when I made a text message outlining my thoughts of a person and accidently sent it to that person... Luckily he thought I was trolling him very well and even said good job hahahaha

With a nice glob of phlegm hidden discretely inside no doubt.

Nothing good happens by being mean to the waiter. They have control of you're food. Think about it as a waiter... If I get yelled at, especially if it wasn't my fault, is that really going to make me go any faster to get the correct order? Hell no, you get paid the same either way, and if they already fear they are gonna get a minimum tip, they'll just take their good old time. And if you are really douchy to them, then you have their spit in your burger.

@cunningstunt. My corner shop is on FOUR CORNERS. BOOOOOOOOYA!

Also the other week I was working a swimming gala, and I was telling my mate about an amputee and one of the coaches walked past and had the best part of her forearm missing. Awkward as ****.

Falling flat on your face in front of 120,000 people at a free concert is awkward.
