The Awkward Moment When... #6

I can't believe I've reached #6 of these posts in only a couple of years... actually I don't think I should be that surprised. But I've noticed that in my old age (well, in my twenties), I've become a ruder person who has much less tolerance than I used to. I'm literally a premature grumpy old lady, which is actually really upsetting. I used to be so nice! What happened?!?!?!

Anyway, the awkward moment when...

-someone tells you that a singer they liked played in England, in a city called Wales. You think this person is an idiot, but you keep it to yourself. This same person later sees a photo you've taken and asks where that was. You say Cambodia, and they ask where in Australia that is. That's when you accidentally say out loud "wow, you're stupid!"

-you're with a group of people and your friend asks "when you were in that band, wasn't there that girl and guy who were going out and then broke up or something?" and you have to admit you were the girl.

-(same night) you're telling a friend about your baby cousin who just was born and someone overhears parts of what you said and asks loudly "are you pregnant?" The whole room is silent and now staring at you, including your friend's grandparents.

-you're on the bus and a baby is staring at you. Not in a cute way, but in a freaky, unblinking, expressionless way and you smile and it just keeps staring at you. The grandmother is apologising and you're like "it's all good" and keep on smiling even though you are secretly freaked out by this possessed baby.

-it's the middle of the night and you need to go to the toilet, but your leg gets tangled in a sheet and you end up falling out of bed with a loud "BANG!" which causes your dad to run into the room to see if you're okay

-when you're in a play and the group Facebook page has colourful condoms as it's cover picture and your parents are behind you when it pops up on your newsfeed

-when someone really pisses you off. Like REALLY pisses you off, but you can't confront them because you can't be rude to them, so instead, you read your past messages between you and your ex (who is constantly in your bad book anyway) so you can channel all your anger onto him instead of the other person.

Because violence is never the answer! 

-when someone stops you randomly at uni and says "you're really beautiful. Can I have your number?" And your reaction is "No. Do I look like a prostitute?"

-(speaking of which) when you walk into a room and you're greeted by someone saying "hi! Would you like a condom?"
