21 Jun 2011“Btw, how about the awkward moment when somebody sneezes out real loud? Especially during a seminar or meeting? And to top it all, he/she doesn’t cover his/her mouth, getting it *all* out!!
I just thought I’d suggest! ”

22 Jun 2011Cool blog! How about a common one that happens to most of us, like someone waving at your direction and you wave back, either out of courtesy or… *insert appropriate reason here*, only to realise that he/she’s waving at someone else behind you?
Keep on writing, looking forward to more “awkward” posts!

5 Jul 2011-Waving at someone and realizing the person you waved at wasn’t who you thought it was!
-Tripping or falling in public while you are alone.
-Walking in an office hall way and someone is walking towards you, you usually walk looking down to avid eye contact.
-Going to the bathroom and realizing there is no tissue!
-Asking a question and after asking realizing that the question made you look dumb because the answer was right in front of you!

26 Aug 2011Is bumping into PDA in the office/workplace considered awkward universally? Or is it just in my country? You know, when you enter the office with lots of work in your mind, yet… you open the door and saw your co-workers kissing and… you’re considering whether to keep walking and interfere.
