Sharice says she is one of the most awkward people on Earth. I say the same thing. Us being together is a pre-destined collision of some higher being desperate for comic relief. We recorded some of our best moments moments below and some of our friends' as well. Enjoy!
Well that's Awk....
Two friends and I went to the movies and accidentally bought seats separated from each other, so when the movie started, we decided to move closer to one another, assuming that no one was going to buy the seats (We were in VIP seating and the tickets were purchased like airplane seats). I tried to set our extremely greasy butter popcorn on the arm of the chair but it fell into the seat instead. Even after scooping it up the seat was covered in butter! Whoops! We moved down one seat when a couple showed up with tickets in their hands.
My friend got up to explain to them what happened, but they walked right past her and tried handing her her things. The movie is playing at this point, so flustered, all I can think of to say is, “Este asiento está sucio. No lo recomiendo.” After a bit of confusion we cleared it up, but it was awhile before we got over the embarrassment. Well that's awk...
Shortly after moving into my homestay, I got ready to leave for class, but when I reached my bedroom door it wouldn’t open! My host mom was sleeping and her son was working downstairs. After trying to open it for around 10 minutes, I started knocking and saying, “¿Hola?” Eventually the son came upstairs, and I said, “¡No puedo abrir la puerta!” He opened it on the first try. After class, our director came home with me to fix the problem, and it turned out my mom had explained to me how to open the door the first night, but it was lost in translation. Well that's awk...
My friends and I were chilling in the ocean in Playa Del Carmen when a guy approached us and started asking about the current. Weird, but we hung out with him anyways. Then later that night he took us to the beach and started resting his head on my shoulder! He told me he has "cariñosa" for me. I couldn't wait to leave and when we said goodbye he gave me a long hug and a distinct kiss on the cheek. Well that's awk...
During an independent travel weekend, I was in Playa del Carmen. Three of us were walking on the beach one night when one of my friends started freaking out, shouting about how something was touching her and she didn’t know what it was. We stared at her in disbelief and finally pointed out the fisherman whose line she was tripping over. Well that's awk...
When I try to tell my homestay mom that I don't like the food, she tells me "oh no, you do. just try it again.” Well that's awk...
I was in Oxxo with a friend and a guy was standing there talking smack about us. Eventually I said, “You know I can understand you right?” He didn’t.
During Spring Break at the resort I was on, a group and I went to the club there and we stayed for a good while. Right before we left, the drunkest dude walks right next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders. From what I understood, he said I was a giant sweatball and then licked me behind my left ear............................................................I didn't know what to do. Plus everyone who was with me saw it happen and they were dying with laughter. Well that's awk...
On a bus to Altabrisa, I was sitting with my friend, and we noticed a guy in front of us, staring open mouthed at us. He then tells me that my friend is “muy hermosa,” but I confused it with the word “Hermana,” so I said no. He was surprised and asked me, “You don’t think she’s beautiful?” After that he proceeded to bang his ring on the seat in front of him to get a dent out. It was a strange encounter. Well that's awk...
