35+ People who misread social cues and acted so awkward: 'Bumped into an older gentleman by mistake... I just shouted, "Are you sorry?!"'

Everyone acts awkward sometimes, but we all have that one mortifying moment that keeps us awake at night. 

I'm amazed by the people in my life who waltz through life with constant grace and poise. Their hair is always perfect, they're always a fountain of bubbling personality, they're always on time, well-dressed, and totally prepared for whatever life throws at them. How do they do it?! As someone who's perpetually clumsy, very dorky, and who often says the wrong thing, I just admire that kind of person. Like, imagine talking to your crush like a normal person, and not forgetting 98% of what you know. Life would be so grand if one could go into a meeting and not stumble through their portion of it! I mean, there are so many ways to mess up conversations, because even though you can practice in your head, you're still always doing these things in real time. Other people don't go along with the imaginary script in your head, they're free-styling it! 

These people had some absolutely laugh-out-loud stories from their own lives about the times they put their foot in their mouth during a conversation, and never recovered from the embarrassment. Check it all out below — I dare you to get through the whole thing without laughing!

Next up, read about the workers who quit their worst jobs ever, and the reasons that finally pushed them over the edge, like one person who was tired of their "power-tripping, micromanaging, unsupportive boss."
