Realizing you borrowed the pen you're sticking in your mouth

It's one of those moments when you pause and your eyes give that shocked expression. As you slowly take the pen away from your mouth, you might notice the teeth marks that were definitely not your own, and sourly lick the tips of your lips. Lesson learned. Get your own pen! You might even be happier keeping one on you at all times to avoid these grossly terrifying encounters.

That moment of shame when an automatic door doesn't open for you

Ever been frustrated because an 'automatic door' didn't open for you? It can be rather annoying, even when you take the notion to stop yourself from walking into it. Waiting to be registered as a human being isn't the ideal situation. It's as if the door is waiting for something, like a secret password, or a "good afternoon". It seems almost intentional sometimes, especially when you're in a rush. If doors have a mind of their own, we might as well face it - doors can be stupid.

Sex scene on tv + Parents in same room = Awkward atmosphere

This is one of the most awkward things we have had to endure since the dawning of sexually explicit TV. Such situations often involve an uncomfortable silence followed by a dismissive or patronizing comment from the parents. Some might take the initiative to change the channel or co-incidentally leave for a cup of tea. However sometimes the situation is progressively passive and the silence just drags out, with any thought of eye contact completely out of the question.

The awkward moment when your penis wakes up before you do

Is it really that awkward? Well it depends if you wake up with your covers in the wrong place. Try to keep it hidden or tell your mum to stop walking in to hang some clothes on the radiators. There's nothing wrong with a little morning glory, but when you find yourself in an awkward moment of awakening, then you have 2 obvious options. Blush as you pull your covers back over you, or stand firm and proud of what makes you a man!
