Derby #223: Awkward Moments

Hey, this Derby's over. When you're finished reliving past glories, check out what's going on in the Derby right now. It's probably even cooler. Or at least newer.

We've all had them. Those moments in life where you thought everything was going smoothly and all of a sudden everyone is staring at you, jaws slack in shock, as you try (and fail) to extricate yourself from what you are certain will go down in history as the most awkward situation in history. This week, show us YOUR awkward moments, or if you're still not over it, show us AN awkward moment that could totally not even be related to you. At all. Totally. Whether it's coming in for a hug when the other person just wants a hand shake, realizing that the person coming towards you was actually waving at someone behind you, accidentally ending a business call with "I love you," or forgetting to clear your browser history before letting your mom borrow your computer (okay, maybe not that last one), we want to see the most awkward times you can come up with within these rules:
