At first, they make us want to take cover. But looking back, we’re able to laugh at ourselves and not take life’s awkward moments so seriously. From tripping in public to introducing someone with the wrong name, get a kick out of some of the most embarrassing moments we’ve all gone through (or probably will go through) that make life a trip.

A handshake, a hug, a kiss …
Which one?! Who would have thought figuring out the proper way of saying “hello” or “goodbye” would make you break out with the “robot” dance or accidentally kiss someone on the ear?

“Don’t quit your day job”
You’re at a party, screaming your favorite song’s lyrics, when all of a sudden, on the high note, the music cuts out. You’re the only one at the party belting it out like an American Idol reject.

Bumping into the ex
You’re at your favorite restaurant with your beau when suddenly your ex shows up with his new flame. You’ve already made eye contact, so you can’t avoid the contrived “heyyyyy… how’s it going?”... and the embarrassment that ensues when momentarily forgetting your beau’s name.
