It's that "head down and pretend like nobody saw" moment. The "wow, did that really just happen?" moment. Yes, there comes a time in our lives -- some more often than others -- where we all experience "that awkward moment." Your face gets red and blotchy, and you begin to sweat and mentally break down while trying to hold your composure and hide the embarrassment that is seeping through your entire body. Yup, I've been there. I've judged myself. But at least I know I'm not the only one who goes through all of these "oh my God" moments; we all do. But that doesn't make it any less embarrassing, unfortunately.

1. Pushing doors that are meant to be pulled. (Even though the sign clearly states "pull" right in front of your face.)
2. Tripping going up the stairs. Something so simple like walking up the stairs can turn into a nightmare.
   
   
3. Tripping over your own two feet. Even more embarrassing than tripping going up the stairs, I'd say.
4. Staring blankly at someone's face and not even realizing. Then you awkwardly wake from your trance-like state and realize how creepy you are.
   
   
5. Waving to someone and they don’t see you. (My best advice: Keep waving and act like you were waving to someone behind them so no one else sees.)
6. Hugging someone from behind because you think you know them, but it's actually just their non-related twin that is a complete stranger. Forget awkwardly waving to someone you don't know, imagine going up to them and physically touching them.
   
   
7. Sneezing in a crowded room and not a single person says “bless you.” But then, of course, the next person who sneezes gets like 10 bless-yous and that's just not right. Looks like your sneeze didn't matter.
8. The awkward eye contact you make with someone after walking out of a smelly bathroom because you know they hold you responsible for the stench. I swear it wasn't me.
   
   
9. Forgetting someone's name who you are in a conversation with. This is really the worst thing ever. The entire time they are talking you're not even listening, just trying to remember their name.
10. Going and physically sitting in the wrong classroom. Even sometimes I know where my real classroom is, but my sleepy, 7:45 a.m. eyes pick and choose where I should go whenever they please.
    
    
11. Passing your classroom. Then you have to awkwardly turn back around and try and find your class again. Freshmen's finest moments.
12. Mentioning something to someone that no one actually told you, but you discovered on your own via stalking their social media. "Oh how was your time in Florida when you arrived at 4:36 p.m. on August 1 and stayed at the Marriott Hotel?"
    
    
13. Trying to search for your name tag on all of the desks. This always gives me anxiety. Especially when there are hundreds of kids in your class. Like really, do I have to hunt my desk down or can I just pretend my name's "Mark" for the rest of the semester and sit right here?
14. Playing DJ and having the next choice of music be an emotional, old, humiliating song that you secretly love but everyone judges you for. I'll dance by myself then. I'm musically inclined.
    
    
15. Talking to yourself in the mirror. We all do this. But if you were to look at yourself outside of your own body, you'd definitely be like, "Why the hell am I so weird?"
16. Making ugly faces at yourself in the mirror and someone walks in. I'm ugly and I'm proud. Leave me be.
    
    
17. Dancing in your room by yourself while someone is secretly watching you. Hope you liked my twerk session by myself. Crushed it.
18. Having food in your teeth and no one tells you. If your friends don't tell you this,then they are not your true friends. That is all.
    
    
19. When you’re primetime stalking and you accidentally double-tap an Instagram image from 45 weeks ago. You best be un-liking that picture pretty damn quick before they get notified.
20. Having your credit card be declined when there is an entire line of customers behind you waiting to check out. I swear I'm not broke, I really do have money. *Sweat drips down face*
    
    
21. Running on the treadmill and dropping your phone so it shoots off behind you into the next treadmill. Nothing like breaking your phone, or ya know, hitting the person running behind you with it and your dignity.
22. Holding the door open for someone who is a long distance away, which forces them to run over. Now they have to either fast-pace it or high-tail their butt to the door.
    
    
23. Replying to someone who is on the phone but you think they are talking to you. "Oh, you're not talking to me? Well I wasn't talking to you either, OK, bye."
24. When someone says, "Happy birthday!” and you reply, “You too!” I mean, at least you tried to be sociable.
    
    
25. Saying goodbye to someone and ending up walking away in the same direction. This is just uncomfortable, especially when you have nothing left to say to them. Advice: Just walk fast.
26. Trying to tell a funny story while explaining every detail, but getting lost in all your thoughts, so it ends up as a novel that no one cares about hearing.
    
    
27. Telling a joke and forgetting the punch line halfway through. Haha -- oops.
28. Texting the wrong person. "Oh, sorry. That entire paragraph of me going on a rant about my relationship problems wasn't for you, but tell your mom I said hello!"
    
    
29. Swinging your arms as you walk and accidentally touching someone's behind or privates. Put your head down and speed walk.
30. Opening the door to walk in while someone is opening the same door to walk out. Now that our faces are two inches apart from one another, I think this would be a great time to introduce ourselves.
    
    
31. Secretly trying to watch videos in class instead of paying attention, but then realizing your phone is on full volume. Even watching a quiet video is tricky nowadays because it can be all silent then turn into "JOHN CENA!"
32. Screenshotting what someone said with the intent to send it to your friend, but you wind up sending it to the person who texted it to you. You caption it something like, "This idiot." Then you have to deal with the consequences of, "WTF. Why did you screenshot this?" Oops.
    
    
33. Hugging a person who reaches for a handshake. Oh cool, I totally misread your signals there but it's all right; how are ya?
34. Thinking there is one more step to walk down but wind up tripping over the unexpectedly flat ground. This is the most heart-stopping moment that's ever happened in my life. I literally worshipped the ground after I landed.
    
    
35. Attempting to parallel-park, then peeling out because you can’t do it after the fifth try. "But I passed my driver's test. I swear I know how to do this."
36. Laughing out loud by yourself in public and everyone stares at you. If only everyone read the text you were reading.
    
    
37. Lip-syncing to music and completely butchering the lyrics you confidently thought you knew. Just keep going and self-destruct after the song ends.
38. Skipping class then seeing your professor at the cafeteria directly after your class was supposed to get out. "I was sick an hour ago, I swear."
    
    
39. Swallowing food the wrong way and winding up looking like some possessed devil trying to regain normal composure. It's okay though, everyone, thanks for everyone jumping off their seats to save me.
40. Clogging a toilet in a home that isn’t yours. You should just leave after that. Say you have to go walk your hamster or something. Just get out.
