I don't even know

[Pete]

Anyone else have those awkward moments where you just don't even know what to say to a situation? I had one today.

I was exiting a Panera from the rear entrance, since my car was parked in the rear lot. As I was opening the glass door, I didn't see a kid (maybe 8-10 years old) sprinting around the corner into the path of the door. He did a quick sidestep to avoid the door, which I already had open, and his momentum carried him over a small ice patch and right into a parking sign in the sidewalk. He smacked into it with a loud THWACK! He was out cold, and his mother or grandmother (couldn't tell) looked at me, shrugged, and said "he'll learn one way or the other," before I could even ask if the kid was ok. I just kind of stood there for a second and then walked to my car.

Sounds like good parents. and I'm not joking.

My parents treated me like this.

First of all, why is this kid running around ice? Learn his lesson.

I was at work in the I.T office and a kid brought me a laptop to fix and the other student that was with him said to me "Theres so much equipment in here im surprised you dont have armor on"

...?

[Pete]

Oh I was raised the same way.

And Rowan, I don't even know what that means. Maybe it's a weird way of saying you could get robbed because of all the gear?

Was it, like, going to topple on you? That is a bizarre thing to say.

One time I, my partner, and one of our flatmates were watching a DVD at night. I spy out of the corner of my eye a really big shadow in the doorway from the kitchen (which leads to the back door). I freak out and point, so everyone turns. This (very!) large Polynesian man then says "Oh where's the pool table?" We all look at each other like WTF are you on, why are you in our house, what is all this about a pool table. Judging by his tone of voice and the fact that we're not dead, I worked out that it wasn't a home invasion, he's just a drunk guy. Really drunk. I ask if I can get him a taxi, if he know's where he is etc. He sasys "Nah I'm alright" to the taxi, repeatedly, and "Isn't this John's place?" as to whether he knows where he is. I sort of lead him out the back door, and then he sort of struggles to tie his shoelace before wandering out the gate.

I dunno guys, it was well beyond my level of comprehension. It was awkward because I asked him to repeat what he just said and in my mind I said to myself "Yep, he did just say that..." and then I said nothing and continued to work on the laptop.

These are amazing.

Only one for me that comes to mind right now, not nearly as good as the ones I've read so far: I work at a payroll company, and one of our clients called and asked to speak to one of my coworkers. I said, "Okay, I'll see if he's available. Can I tell him who's calling?" which is our way of asking who we're speaking to.
He says, "Sure."

..........k.

I am apparently too awkward to be like, "Okay, so who is this?" so I just put him on hold and told my coworker that someone wanted to talk to him, and if I knew who it was, I would be allowed to say, but I don't.

I walk into a restroom at target, while I was in there, this guy comes in and he's all like "Hey, guess what santa got me for christmas!?" he goes on to say "I got a big screen tv, a computer chair" I don't remember the other things he had said, but it was amusing and random. He might be one of those guys with a mental condition, he was about middle aged or older. This was during the summer when I experienced this.

LOL I can relate to the "sure" comment, I've done it myself before while working.

I kept getting calls from Pharmacy and random nurses during my whole shift on a busy day, and by now I've kinda more or less got them on autopilot with answers because I'm usually working on charting while I'm getting called, so one of the pharmacists called me back near the end of the day just to thank me for all the hard work I had done that day and the first thing I replied with was "Sure."

Foot in mouth... I am becoming more like JD from Scrubs by the minute...

I read it as a RPG/DnD joke. Equipment which leads to armor. Of course I could totally be wrong about that.

I was once offered crack in the beer aisle of a ghetto grocery store. My roommate and I were looking at the beer selection when three guys came up to us and asked us what was better, Big Bear or Hurricane. We both said Hurricane, which apparently pleased the guy.

He said "you niggas is smart, wanna buy some crack?" To which we stood there for a moment, totally confused. We then replied no, and the guy introduced himself as black Rob. He then told us we know where to go if we ever need crack

My first day Delivering pizzas for dominos someone offered me crack.

"hey yo man you work for dominos?"

"wanna buy some rocks?"


Also Rowan, that is how I picture 90% of your country, is that stupid. I'm sorry.

I had another moment where I was in a book store looking at a gaming magazine. A woman walked by and, I guess, caught a glimpse of a page I was looking at. I don't know how this happened but apparently the guy in the picture looked like tony hawk to her because she put her hand on my shoulder and said "I know tony hawk, I knew him since he was a kid." and then walked off.
