Awkward Moments That Will Surely Make You Cringe

 

Backfired

We’ve all been in awkward situations before. The memory of them sticks with us for eternity and pops up every so often and makes us feel awkward all over again. Luckily these people weren’t too shy about sharing their most awkward, cringe-worthy moments with the Internet. It’s never a good idea to drive after drinking. Even though this person did the responsible thing, they discovered their car in the middle of a farmer’s market. Looks like he was stuck for quite a while.

Unforgettable

When you frequent a certain store or restaurant, you probably assume that the staff remembers who you are. It isn’t always a safe thing to assume, though.

Archery Practice

While practicing archery, this kid accidentally shot his father in the shoulder with his arrow. We just can’t get over that he brought the bow with him.

You’re Not a Baby

When explaining your symptoms to the doctor, you should be honest. That’s all this girl was doing. Apparently she has done a lot of crying recently.

Family Relations

It’s okay to find someone in your family beautiful and attractive. It’s another thing to hit on them, though. Especially when that person is higher ranking than you!

Wrong Bathroom

This poor guy accidentally used the women’s bathroom and got stuck after he realized it. Girls just kept coming in before he could get out. Imagine how shocked you would be if a random guy walked out of the stall as you were fixing your makeup in the mirror.

Misinterpreting Situations

You have to be careful what you say to people, especially if you don’t know them. This person probably wanted the floor to open up and swallow her whole.

The Look of Judgment

Yup, even nuns go to the grocery store. Unfortunately, this person was caught buying a Value Pack! of condoms while the nun judged the heck of them.

Ref Problems

Referees are probably so trained that their instincts just kick in when they make calls. Unfortunately, this one call in particular was pretty insensitive.

Meeting the Parents

Sure, it can be fun to send your significant other a spicy picture randomly. Although, you should definitely give some type of warning before they open it. You never know who will be around.

Don’t Be Like This

Maddie seems to have some anger management issues that she needs to work out. We can only imagine how awkward that dinner was with her grandmother that night.

Own It

This girl must be mortified! Well, at least the baseball player was probably really flattered. Who knows, maybe he came in just to see her and thank her.

Parents and Technology

Parents seem to really struggle when it comes to social media and technology in general. They often post things they didn’t actually mean. Take this poor mother for example.

In the Spotlight

This is definitely a clever way to embarrass yourself. If the guy was cool, though, he would have started singing into his hand too and made the situation much less awkward.

The Photographer

It’s hard to stay friends after a breakup. This ex-boyfriend knows exactly how difficult it can be when he became the photographer for his ex-girlfriend and her new beau.

Drive Thru Struggles

Just imagine how embarrassed you would be if this happened to you. Now she has to drive up to the speaker and repeat everything she just said. Then she has to face the people who saw her talking to the trashcan.

Double Vision

They say that we all have a doppelganger out there. It looks like these two just found each other!

Flirting While Driving

We all know how dangerous texting and driving is. We were never warned to be careful flirting and driving. This girl had to learn the hard way.

Religious Freedom

There are some people who feel compelled to share the word of the Lord. This person just didn’t know that the Holy Spirit was so strong inside of her.

Learning By Example

Teaching sex-ed is going to be one of the most awkward jobs in the world. Teenage students will surely feel uncomfortable and will definitely laugh. However, you just have to have fun with it.

Online Dating

Online dating can be hard, especially when you need an opening line. This person decided to go against giving a compliment and just tore this already depressed person down. We can imagine a date was never scheduled for that.

Subtweeting

This man didn’t know that he was known as the “grumpy” coworker in the office until he saw this tweet. Now he will probably make sure to smile more throughout the day.

Where’s the Rest?

There’s no doubt that college professors are incredibly smart. This clever t-shirt helps this professor weed through the students who may need a little extra attention during the semester.

Wrong Text

You should always make sure you are texting the right person when asking to buy some illegal substances. However, this guy definitely was quick to think on his feet and now he has two Gatorades to show for it.

Flirting Fail

When it comes to flirting, there is a fine line between being clever and completely missing the mark. This girl clearly crossed over the line of being cute.

Tony Hawk

If you look at Tony Hawk’s Twitter feed, it’s full of stories where people don’t fully recognize him. Even this TSA agent holding his ID didn’t understand that he was talking to the actual skateboarder.

Straight Up Lying

When trying to sell something, people will usually talk it up and exaggerate. This person straight up lied about her couch listing, though.

Taking Direction

Having someone’s fingers in your mouth is never comfortable. This girl made going to the dentist even more uncomfortable when she pulled this move, though.

Who Died?

We’ve all heard this term when someone looks sad about something. However, you look like a complete jerk when someone has actually died.
