I will be the first to admit… I’m a pretty awkward person. Or at least that’s how I feel 99% of the time.  And sometimes I do things in front of other people that I am so embarrassed by. But the truth is… most of them are common embarrassing moments that we’ve all had at some point. That’s the thing.  We’re all human. And we all have moments that don’t show us at our best.  I do have to tell you what got me thinking about this though!

One Of My Many Moments…

Yesterday, I was meeting with my boss.  It was just the two of us, talking about a variety of things.  He was in the middle of telling me something, and I decided to take a big sip of my hot tea. And… it went down the wrong way.  Immediately I started to cough.  At first, he thought I was laughing.  And then he realized I was actually choking on my drink.  My eyes were watering and I couldn’t stop coughing.  I tried to talk, but my voice was raspy.  In my head, I was thinking, “I bet I look ridiculous.”  After I finally stopped coughing, I joked that if a drink was going to take me out, I wouldn’t want it to be hot tea!

But again… We’ve all had our moments, right? What’s funny though… I started looking up common embarrassing moments.  And I also did a quick search on choking on a drink… And this girl NAILED exactly what my brain was thinking yesterday!

Common Embarrassing Moments

As I searched for other common embarrassing moments, I came across a list from College Times. Here are some of the ones I can definitely relate to!

• Tripping

  I swear this is probably the most common thing!  I can trip over my own two feet.  Or nothing at all.  And then there’s that moment where you look around and hope like heck no one saw it!

• Waving at someone

  But they don’t see you. Then you feel totally awkward.  OR, someone is waving, and you think they’re waving at you. You’re confused wondering how you know the person… only to realize they weren’t waving at you.

• Texting the wrong person

  It’s bad enough when you send a text to the wrong person… worse if the text is ABOUT the person you accidently sent it to.

• Walking by someone

  And doing that awkward dance because you both try to go the same way. And then it happens again.

  dont you hate when you are walking toward someone and you keep stepping the same direction to try and avoid each other! #fyp #foryou #foryoupage

• Missing your mouth

  Somewhat related to my tea incident. But you go to take a drink or a bite of food, and miss your mouth completely.

• Pull Vs. Push

  Anyone else get a bit of anxiety when you walk up to a door and you’re not sure whether to push or pull?  Somehow I always wind up doing the wrong one first.

• Voice cracking

  I swear this happens to me a lot.  I start to talk, and my voice cracks or squeaks.

• Can you repeat that?

  Having to ask someone more than once what they said because you didn’t understand.  I’ve done this so many times, and yes, I’ve replied with a yes… and hoped for the best!

• Stomach noise

  As someone who’s had a lot of stomach issues, this one gives me serious anxiety! Anytime I’m in a meeting where it’s quiet, I just KNOW my stomach is going to make a crazy noise.

  Random fact: I learned in high school that the term for intestinal gurgling sounds is called “borborygmi.”
