Teeno Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 It happens to everyone where your stuck in an awkward situation and the silence is deafening. What do you do to try and stop the awkwardness? or have you got any funny stories from when you have been in the situation? I have a habit of faking a yawn and then saying "another late night" and a pathetic laugh. Thing is a feel more of a tit after. One of the most annoying ones for me is when people lean back with their arms behind the back and let out the most ridiculous sigh. Grrr
Bryn Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 If it's happening fairly infrequently I find the best thing to do is just point it out and make a joke of it. If it's gonna happen every 5 seconds, just make your excsuses and leave
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 I tend to look up towards the sky and rub my hand up and down my neck.
Lovejoy Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Talk about the weather . Or else crack a joke at my own expense which actually seems to work most of the time .

Teeno Posted 2 September 2008 Author Posted 2 September 2008 Talk about the weather . Or else crack a joke at my own expense which actually seems to work most of the time . Having worked in a bank I can honestly say nothing Piss's me off more than pensioners talking about the weather. About 50 times a day I would hear "Oh isn't it horrible out there" or "What a lovely day it is". GRRR

AmericanScott Posted 3 September 2008 Posted 3 September 2008 One night i was just chilling on a street corner somewhere near my house. This girl we were hanging out with was crying because her ex-boyfriend didn't want her back. She offered him some oral sex and he walked away in disgust. It was silent, all you could hear was her crying. A few us looked at eachother in awkwardness. I blurt out "Giggity". It just made things worse.

Bert Posted 3 September 2008 Posted 3 September 2008 Do you just laugh at everything? Anyway.... In awkward situations i just try and carry on with what I'm doing.
Tabou Posted 3 September 2008 Posted 3 September 2008 Do you just laugh at everything? Quickest way to boost your post count perhaps? I would, but I don't find anything funny. Not now TPH hasn't been on here for a day.
