50 People Share The Awkward Exchanges They Had With Other People And We Can't Help But Feel Their Pain
Have you ever been in an awkward situation because of an awkward conversation? I'm sure you have, even if you're shaking your head.
As usual, I have an extremely personal experience with an awkward situation. So I recently taught my grandmother how to use WhatsApp.
A couple of months ago, she received a group message on WhatsApp that my aunt had fallen down the stairs and injured her pelvis. Let me play it out for you.
Cousin: Sorry couldn't call you back nana. Aunt fell down the stairs this morning and has injured her pelvis. Been to the doc, x-ray shows no fracture.
Nana should have called the cousin and just sorted out her wishes, but instead, this is what she wrote back:
Nana: "I heard, falling down is painful, hope she feels better soon, LOL"
I was mortified and you can imagine why. Nana thought LOL meant "Lots of Love".
We still talk about nana's LOL, but thankfully everyone in the family knows she didn't mean to laugh out loud. This is one of the many awkward conversations.
So how can you identify an awkward conversation? If you're blushing, sweating, panicking, and wanting to disappear, know that you're having or have just had an awkward conversation.
Look at the silver lining; at least you'll have one heck of a story to tell after recovery! Without further ado, here are 50 awkward conversations people have had.
