Good grief...

Have you ever been in a situation that you feel like a massive facepalm doesn't even begin to cover it? There comes a time when we do something that immediately regret, but what's done is done. The worst part is when others are at the center of the awkward zone, but your manners don't allow you to react accordingly, or do they?
Let's picture some of these situations.


Telling 'You too' when the waiter says enjoy your meal.

Wearing socks with sandals.

Wearing crocs. Oh dear.

Sending a private text message to the wrong person.

Blocking the sun while wearing a cap backwards.

Knowing what to say but the exact word skips your mind.

Petting a cute looking dog when it is actually trained to kill.

Singing in front of a live audience, despite the fact that you suck at it.

Binge watching a TV series until 4:00 AM, while you could have done something better with your life.

Knowing nothing on a final exam but your name and not even the date.

Double parking in front of a police officer.

Jaywalking.

Haggling over the price of a stupid thing and later realizing you didn't even need it in the first place.

Eating exotic food while fighting the urge of vomiting.

Accepting to babysit your friend's rugrat, while clearly knowing s/he is a devil spawn.

What about you? Have you ever done something that even disappointed your guardian angel?

    Singing in front of a live audience, despite the fact that you suck at it ---> It happens everyday at karaoke pubs
