These 23 Strangers Experienced Awkward AF Moments

5.

After taking a very stressful French exam during college, I went to the bathroom. All the stress from my life just kind of hit me at once and I started bawling. Several minutes into my nervous breakdown, some dude walks in to find me sitting in the corner near a sink just sobbing. He was so uncomfortable and I could tell. It was so ridiculous that I started laughing uncontrollably like a crazy person… The dude just turned around and left.

Ended up going to a gas station and filled up my car while this older guy was there doing the same. We both drove off and ended up at a Starbucks about 2 miles away. We then both ended up at the gym and ran a few treadmills apart. We both knew. It was awkward.

I was riding the train one day, and it lurched to a stop and an Asian woman grabbed my boobs to steady herself. That was way more awkward.

I was at a wedding reception at a golf course once and thought the entire patio was filled with wedding guests. Drunk and hungry, I also thought all the food at the tables were wedding appetizers. Turns out there were regular country club members on the patio as well. Feeling social, I sat at one of the tables, started eating part of their shrimp cocktail appetizer and chatting them up. Unfortunately they weren’t part of the wedding, and I was stealing their food. I probably sat there for 10 minutes until I came to the horrible realization of what was happening.
