You Too, Mom, Gotta Run
At SomethingAwful.com the excellent Awkwardness Survival Guide.
To be used in the event of:
A waiter entreats you to enjoy your meal and you respond with “you too.”
You lean back too far in your chair and almost fall over.
Out of habit, you end a phone conversation with “I love you” when not talking to your significant other.
You accidentally call your mom by a term of endearment generally reserved for your significant other.
When talking to a disabled person, you make reference to a faculty which they do not posses.
You become bewildered when faced with an “ethnic” handshake.
You end up with droplets of water on your crotch after using the restroom.
You laugh at a completely inappropriate time.
You call your teacher “mom.”
Top tips for escaping these moments with some shred of dignity still intact.
I particularly like the statement related to ‘restroom’ related accidents:
We’re not here to pass judgment. We don’t know if you were sprayed by an overzealous bathroom faucet, or if you failed to adequately shake Lil’ Odysseus before you returned him to Ithaca. Either way, you are confronted with one of the most difficult social situations imaginable: you appear to have peed yourself.
