So I was just basking in the awesomeness of the "awkward metal moments" thread and became curious to hear general stories of the like. So how bout an FFA version? I think it could be interesting. I have some pretty appallingly awkward (and not particularly humorous) moments to start us off.
1) This has to be my worst. After finishing playing dodgeball in gym class, this eccentric black kid walked up to another guy with a couple dodgeballs in his hand and soberly told him, "I'm gonna put my junk in your trunk." Apparently focused on being an immature, pathetic ass with no sense of self-awareness, I said "dude, that sounds pretty gay," to which he said "who, me? Oh," promptly walking away. Confused at his lack of reaction to what I'd said, I heard an a chuckle next to me and turned to see a guy who was pretty amused. "You know that guy's gay, right?" Feeling like the biggest fuck-up tool on the planet, that's when I promised myself never to use the word gay as an insult ever again.
2) One day, my English teacher asked us to write a journal entry listing our favorite movies. My particularly interesting list included everything from Chasing Amy to Brazil to, my eventual downfall, Cannibal Holocaust. So me and everyone else turned it in. About a week later he was reading over them right after picking up an unrelated essay. After many moments of silence, he suddenly exclaimed in a half-exasperated, half-laughing tone, "Cannibal Holocaust!" Amazed that anyone else would pick that movie and not even stopping to think it could have been my list, I had to ask, "wait, who picked that?!" "You did," he replied, looking amused. Dead silence. Everyone staring. "Oh," I said.
Now may the more humorous archivers have a field day!
