What did we do before the Internet and social media to enjoy the humiliation of others?
I mean, I guess we could just sit on a park bench and wait for someone to trip and fall or we could try to eavesdrop on conversations that looked like they were about to take a turn for worse, but it was pretty tough going back then…
That’s why we should all rejoice that we have so much embarrassment and awkwardness at our fingertips these days.
Modern technology, we salute you!
Let’s take a look at some awkward encounters that people shared on Twitter.
1. I need help!
I’d like to know how this story ended.
2. I need to hug you.
Oh…that’s what you were doing…sorry…
3. You were NOT being waved at.
Hahahaha. This is pretty bad.
4. I need to be held. NOW.
That’s not good. Especially on a Monday.

7. The old switcheroo really got you this time.
Be more careful in the future!

If so, yes, I’ll need a bag.
9. Not gonna enjoy my night.
No way, no how.
10. That is AWKWARD.
Got brought down to Earth pretty quick, huh?
What else can you really do except offer your condolences to these folks?
And now we’re gonna move on to you. Yeah, you!
