As a socially awkward anxious wreck, this thread speaks to me.
How about when you're ordering your food, the cashier says something along the lines of "enjoy your meal" and all you can say is "you too".
Or when you say "how are you" to someone just as they ask the same question and you're not sure if you should answer first or not.
And when you're 'helping' lift something heavy and you realise you're not actually carrying any of the weight but you awkwardly pretend to anyway.

I've read this about 20 times and still don't understand how that would work.

The worst thing a cashier at a grocery store can do is comment on all my purchases. Buying pills and a box of plasters because I needed to restock my first aid kit results in 'What happened? Are you okay?' Buying a mini speaker the other day, the cashier sarcastically quipped 'Your neighbours are going to kill you'. You just don't know how to respond.

Telling a joke in class, and the teacher asking your friend "What's so funny?" Makes me feel so guilty, even if it's just a bad pun.
When you're talking to someone and they pull their phone out. This happens way too much.
When you've met a friend but they've seen someone they know so you're forced into being a very awkward 3rd wheel.
When you've set a song as your ringtone and it goes off in a very quiet place.
When you see those people who are like very, very loose friends who you barely talk to and don't know wether to say hello or give the nod, and yoh do the nod but the person says hello.
Having to give presentations on anything in front of anyone.

Someone asked me to comment on their car that they were boasting about; an E46 320d with rather crooked M badges on the fenders and the back, and didn't even bother tried hiding the "320d" badge. It still had the same bog standard wheels that you'd expect from a standard 3 series and you could just tell by exhausts and the body shape that it clearly wasn't an M3. I didn't think there was any point asking to check the engine either.
I was really struggling to come up with a comment. And yes, they really and truly thought that they bagged themselves a M3. Whether or not they bought the car like that or stuck on the badges themselves, I will never know.

lol, I got a haircut last week. I go to the same gal each time, and usually she says "enjoy the rest of your day" after I pay. Well this time she says something along the lines of "enjoy your new cut" and I say "you too" out of habit. I don't see why it has to be awkward, though. I thought it was funny.

When you're talking to extremely attractive girl and she keeps going on and on about something for only for you to ignore her and just stare at her face and space out.

If it was the real deal, then the car would speak for itself
.Amazing the difference in attention between being in a premium kind of car like a new 6 Series or Range Rover and a supercar. The former you get by no problems while the latter you are likely to get some awkward attention.

This used to happen to me with a woman I worked with up until a few months ago. She was so hot I zoned out whenever she spoke to me and I ended up feeling like a 12 year old again.

It feels awkward in a technical standpoint because with what he has been doing he should've beaten me a few times in theory, especially when all I do is catch random Pokemon I like and raise them with Movesets I think are the most fun to use, yet Practically the score is +30-0.

Luck elements in games do that. Another friend who had 0 experience on the 200cc difficulty beat me in MK8 once on Baby Park.I did get that feeling to a point say I'm getting taught how to play a game by a friend and then beat him with a lot of flukes but still feel more smug

Indeed, sadly it had that typical diesel sound when I heard it drive offIf it was the real deal, then the car would speak for itself

Or when a "homeless" man has an empty cup in his hand and you hand him change, but there was coffee in there and he wasn't homeless.

Double doors... When you hold a door for someone, and they use the other door.

Waving a car to merge with oncoming traffic is not awkward. It`s dangerous.
Nice drawing though.

I remember this one time when i decided to stand outside in the cold night at Manchester.
Then I didn't realize I was near a smoking area. And a guy asked me if i want one cigarette, and he'd roll it for me too.
Fortunately i love my lungs. So, to say no, i did this: point behind him and yell: "THE HELL IS THAT?!"
He took to his left and and then probably looked back as i ran down the street and then used a distant lamp post to adjust my momentum to the left, just like Jim Carrey would.
Moral Of The Story: SPD hates to smoke.

That is one heck of a story, wouldn't it be easier to say "No, thanks."
