Social Awkwardness : tell a funny story
I had a embarrassing moment of social awkwardness today.
Nurse called me today.
I thought I had suppressed my social awkwardness. Guess not.
Let's hear some stories of social awkwardness.

Delivery guy: Have a good night. Enjoy your pizza!
Me: You too!
I feel like I've done that more than once.

I delivered pizza all through university. I'm pretty sure about 60% of all exchanges ended this way.
I still laughed at you fools every time.

Seeing someone that you know on the street and then after chatting with them for 5 minutes you say goodbye only for them to start walking in the same direction as you. Nothing is more awkward than that.
Edit: Extra awkwardness points if it's a girl you want to bang.

That's still a valid response though! Just not to the final part of the sentence.

Leaving voice mails. Some go really well and I sound really professional, and others don't go so well. If someone comes into my office to drop something off, I completely loose my train of thought.

For years after I had my growth spurt (5-6 or so to 6-3 in 6 months), I would trip over myself randomly, usually at the most hilarious possible moment. It takes a while for your brain to understand where your feet actually are in relation to the rest of your body.

A few times I guessed wrong on my client's gender. Better to greet people with neutral terms.

One time I had to take a leak really bad at a party and this other guy was hugging the porcelin bowl so I decided to just whiz in the sink. As the flow began he made a really bad retching sound and in my drunken stupor I turned to him and said "are you ok buddy?" as a nice stream of piss hit the side of his face. Awkward....

This literally just happened.
Walking back to my desk after dropping a spike and another odd dood in my office walks past me on his way to the bathroom and asks "did you keep it warm for me?"
That was pretty awkward.

As part of the examination it is important to know if the patient is pregnant or not (there can be sight issues). I had a few awkward moments and now just ask if they intend on getting pregnant at anytime.

edit: 1 more! I had a Phone interview once and I was a bit nervous at start. Right after the interviewer asked to speak to me, I said really fast: Hi its Jean-Luc How are you doing today Im fine thanks.
There was a 2 seconds pause from her after that

I meet and deal with so many people per year on a face-to-face basis that they call me later on expecting me to remember them.
"Hey Locke, how are ya? Anyways, I've got a question, can you help me out?"
I've had whole conversations without ever knowing who I'm talking to.

I had an attractive girl ask me for directions before and after she said thank you, I replied by saying thank you back. I felt like such a dork... "yeah, no problem... thank you, for talking to me"...
I used to do a lot of work in Fort Nelson BC, and one time I was at a restaurant by myself and some guy came and started talking to me. He said that he saw me around and we chatted for a bit. He told me that I should check out Liard hot springs if I was going to be around for the weekend and he would drive me. I thought it was cool that the guy was friendly and stuff, so I said sure.. Then a few minutes later, he said; "Just so there is no misunderstanding, you're gay right?"... That was a little awkward.

Thinking the washroom was empty first thing in the morning at work, then walking in and ripping a huge one as I enter the door, only to turn the corner and see my boss washing his hands. Then he proceeds to start brushing his teeth while I'm dying in the stall waiting for him to leave so I can continue.
Agreed with the phone call/voicemail thing too. I talk to clients often and don't get caught on a voicemail too often, but once in a while when I do it's a rambling mess.

Sisko got a demotion didn't he?
You go from exploring our arm of the galaxy to sitting at some bum territory outpost in what equates to their version of Nunavut.
He just got lucky and tripped over an exciting wormhole.
