Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Everyone is weird and awkward. To this day I avoid going to get the mail if I see that I'd have to make small talk with my neighbor to get it.

On my 21st birthday I went out to happy hour with a bunch of people from work. There was a girl I kind of vaguely knew from another department and we started talking. We were hitting it off pretty well and she kept buying me drinks to celebrate.

Then I saw there was a pinball machine in the corner and I slurred out something like "Oh man they got pinball here!" and ended up playing pinball for over an hour. She left at some point. The next day at work I saw her in the hall and she avoided making eye contact with me. I'm pretty sure I was "The Weird Pinball Guy" for the rest of the time I worked there.

One time someone smiled and waved at me, I smiled and waved back. But apparently this person wasn’t even real, it all happened in my head!

today i was out getting some lunch and some crazy guy came up to me on the sidewalk. he was all like "how you doing my man?" and i was like "i'm fine and dandy dawg!" and we fist-bumped. it was only as he continued on his merry way that i realised that he wasn't some acquaintance i thought i had worked with, but was in fact a bona fide crazy person. well that's my story.


then there was also the time i shat my pants and went to a meeting for a high-profile current affairs show i was working on without cleaning up, because there wasn't time and it would have looked even worse if i rang ahead with some excuse. the smell was probably unbearable. they hired me back again after that though so it probably didn't smell as bad as i thought

One time i picked up some pizza at the take-out counter and the cute girl who handed it to me was like "enjoy your pizza!" and I said "thanks you too!"

Then I turned around a little too quickly and knocked the tip jar over with my erection.

Didn’t get hired at Pitchfork because my review of the new Ratatat album was a timeline of the Pokémon Rattata’s popularity in Japan. I didn’t understand the rating system so I gave it a 07 because that’s the year it peaked

The only awkward thing here is someone getting pissy at you for doing something you enjoy on your birthday instead of paying attention to them. That was unjust OP.

EDIT: In fact this is even worse if the "awkward" thing is her buying you drinks then being passive aggressive because instead of sleeping with her or indulging her you went off and did something else, they are not entitled to anything for buying you drinks OP!! This story is bunk and you were mistreated!!!

I was drunk and walking home in Brooklyn a couple years ago and a guy stopped me and started giving me a long spiel about how he needed formula for his baby and he was poor and couldn't buy any because it was $20. I was too drunk and confused to tell him to gently caress off so I let him lead me to a convenience store where he brought two things of powdered formula up to the register and they rang up for $50. When I heard it was going to be $50 I gave him a kind of "heh what are you going to do" kind of shrug and ran out of the store and down the street into the night.

I sang the “Jedi Rocks” song from Return of the Jedi to a group of about 200 people. Fortunately, I was blackout drunk so I don’t remember any of it. Unfortunately, I was the only one.

Fell down a loooong rear end staircase on my bike as a city bus drove by, wish I had bystander video.

In my defense, I had no idea the sidewalk was about to turn into a loooong rear end staircase.

Working on a student film at the parking lot of the local mall at night, I dig a pellet pistol from a bag to use as a prop in a shot.

Classmate :ohdear: "You sure about that?"
Me :clint: "It's not loaded, I haven't used this thing since I was 9"

Cue me cocking it, pointing it over my shoulder, and pulling the trigger, resulting in a very loud *PFFFT!!!* and followed by the sound of breaking stained glass from over one of the mall's entrances.

Me :clint: "....On second thought lets use the squirt gun Jeff covered in electrical tape."

That pane is still broken nearly twenty years later.

I think you posted this in another thread and it's still possibly one of the embarrassing things I could imagine.

Existing is up there but also probably trying to flirt with a girl and then proceed to drop a glass of water on her crotch. Not how I had planned to get her wet and then I just went home to eat chips in the dark.
