Really. Awkward. Moments.

I bet you've seen me on People Of Walmart.... I went in there once after a dress rehersal... I was wearing a green, fluffy tutu and bright green eyeliner.

One time I said something about how I can't eat in the morning, and the pastor's daughter looked at me and whispered, "Are you pregnant?"

No, Taylor. Genetics.

My wife and I were coming out of the grocery store one time, years ago,
and there was was another car just like ours, we came to first.

I didn't say a word as my poor wife opened the door and got in.

She was as embarrassed as the man who was setting in his, waiting for
his wife, was surprised.

That was pretty funny to me.

Worst In Law Moment I think was before we were married... DH's mom had a cat, actually it was his sister's cat but she'd dumped him on the parents, but anywho weird little animal... named BJ.

I made the mistake of asking DH's mom "So, what's BJ stand for anyways?"

My little old lady, complete with poofy gray hair, uber conservative MIL to be blurts out ... well YOU know... and looks at me like I'm a complete moron.

I stand there slackjawed for a few moments... asking myself did SHE (of all people) REALLY just say what I think she said... finally I manage to gasp out "THE CAT... I MEANT WHAT DOES THE CAT'S INITIALS STAND FOR!?!?!?!?"

Calm as can be she says "Benjamin Jacques"

To this day... that'd be at least 13 years mind... my cheeks still warm when I remember it.

This didnt happen to me, but to my Dad when he was courting Mom. First dinner at her Mom's place which was in a small country town in Australia waaay before air conditioning........Dad had dressed up all nice and slicked his hair with brilcream trying to make a good impression, sitting and eating dinner..the flies kept buzzing his head so he was slapping at them. Grandma asked him if he was ok..and he replied "Not really! These darn hairs keep getting caught in my fly!"

The Daisy Dukes shorts and tank top wouldn't be quite so bad if it was Daisy Duke wearing that get-up...but when it's more like Boss Hawg, complete with the beer belly hanging out...well...gotta leave the building...

Once I was living with my inlaws, and opened up the fridge, and the door swung wide open. I sort of leaned into the fridge to see what was in there, and without looking, grabbed for the door handle... my FIL had, for some reason, come to stand by the fridge door, and I accidentally grabbed his... uh... He and I both screamed, and both madly apologized, and we haven't mentioned it since... later that summer i also happened to see my BIL naked, and (thankfully at a totally different time), DH's gramma... naked too. it was NOT my summer.

I was at a coffee shop with a bunch of cop friends, and we were snarking on everybody. As I was there, with my best friend, for quite some time in our usual booth, at various times different officers would join us and leave. We'd gotten on a roll about male versus female officers as "the better back up" in a pinch. Some of the officers were maligning a new female officer not present, and I came to her defense with the comment that she was surely better at protecting herself on a bad traffic stop than Officer [Scrawny Guy]. He was known as a.... well, he called for a second officer quite a lot, because he annoyed people and they'd get in his face.

Everybody smirked, and a voice from behind and to the side of me said, "I'm [Scrawny Guy]." (Obviously, we were using his surname, not "Scrawny Guy.")

I turned, looked at him, and held up my arm to position my forearm next to his. "But it's true - look at that - MY arm is bigger than yours!"

Everybody rolled with laughter except SG and me.

Within a month, he broke one of his arms on one of those "bad" traffic stops - fighting with a woman.

Of course, that was a long time to wait to have an awkward moment "repaired" - but two or three officers privately reminded me of that day at the coffee shop when I opened my big mouth.
