I walked RIGHT into the pole...

I was staring at this cute guy! The embarrassing part was that it was somehow a loose, clanging pole and when I hit it made a huge sound like a gong that echoed all over the street! Strangers were laughing, everyone heard the noise.1 point

ok so i actually have two awkward moments both on the same day with the same person!!!, they were both pretty awful! I was at this water race thing in the park with some students from my class, and two teachers, after the race, we were all soaked, one of the teachers (not mine, but another) was talking with me, she then turned around and bent over to get some spare clothes out of her backpack, i was just waiting, and i noticed that her pants had come WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY down! thats right, i saw one...1 point

Staring at a crotch

Ok, so it's not too horrible. Except it was my teacher's crotch. And thankfully, he didn't notice, but my classmates did. Hey, it was an accident! I got lost in thought, and was staring off at the wall, and he walked in the way!0 points

I was caught staring...

JaguarJulie says:

Oh my! You have brought me back to my childhood. Attending Catholic School, those nuns could be what we would call today "meanies." It was second grade. Maybe a math class? And I was caught staring -- she brought me up to the front of the class, had me put my hands on her desk, and then she whacked my knuckles with a ruler! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? Well, I still stare sometimes, but thankfully not around nuns. ;)

I wasn't staring, but this was really awkward when...

ArtByLinda says:

I often do that, stare off into space, the skyline catches my eye...looking out windows. When my eyes focus back in it is horribly embarrassing to have someone looking at you who you know, thinks you were staring at them! LOL

    Awkward indeed. I stare but often at the ceiling. My mind is somewhere else.

    Oh, I just had one of those brains gone wondering moments -- when I thought about my guestbook comment. I'm sure we've each had more moments than we care to admit.
