An awkward writing exercise

First off, two posts in one day! Don't you all feel special?

As a writing exercise I'm writing a short paragraph or two about everyday awkward situations. FYI, these situations are only loosely based on my everyday life and the everyday life of others. Any resemblance to actually events, locations or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. :)

The " Who do I talk to" situation

You're standing there talking to a friend you rarely get to talk to when your BFF comes up and starts to talk to you. You talk to your BFF for a while, and then see your other friend start to walk away. You call out to the OF and start to talk about the other things that you were just talking about with that friend. Your BFF looks hurt so you quickly change back to her, and see your OF start to look away. You quickly scramble to talk to your OF when a friend of a friend from out of town comes up to talk. To be polite you talk to this new person, and then you see your BFF and OF start to look offended. You turn back to them and your FOAFFOOT starts to shout to get your attention. You start to breath heavily and suddenly find a pressing matter you must attend to right away.

The "Why is he slowing down" situation

You're walking down the street, your bag swinging and a smile on your face. The air is lovely, and the sun is bright. A bright red truck drives past you and you wave at the driver who smiles and waves back. A few minutes later a bright red truck drives past you and you laugh at the coincidence. You wave at the driver...... And relies it's the same guy. You frown, then decide he must be lost. Another few minutes and a white car drives past you. They guy inside the car is wearing sunglasses and has his hair down to his shoulders. He doesn't wave back at you. He drives past you, and then suddenly the car slows down. That's when you realize what this all is about. The man in the red truck drove past you twice to catch you off you're guard and now the guy in the white car is here to kidnap you! You walk faster practically crying. You have just accepted the fact that you're going to die when you see the guy in the white car put his phone in his pocket and drive away. False alert- he was just texting.

The "OK So, are you pulling out or not" situation ( this one actually is about something that happened to me)

Your walking down the street when a car starts to pull out of its driveway. You stop because the driver can't see you, and he stops at the same moment. You slowly start to walk forward, just fast enough he might be able to see you. The driver climbs out  of the truck and go's to fix something in the back. You start to walk fast, hoping to make it past his driveway, but then he gets back into the car and starts moving again. He can't see you, or won't see you is more like it, and so you just stop. He also stops and gets out to close his gate. You break into a run, and barely break past his driveway when he finally pulls out. He smiles at you like " oh my, how did you get there?" Then lurches his way down the road.

The " Do I randomly dance to this music or not" situation

Victorious Cast is playing in the room you just walked into. One of you're friends starts to dance to the music, and the rest of your friends all just stare at her. She looks awkward, but can't stop now that's she's started. You aren't sure, do you start dancing with this girl to make her feel less awkward, or would that make things worse? And would it make it awkward for you as well? You know you shouldn't be thinking about that but still......

The " No of course I don't like this song" situation

One of Those songs is playing. ( example, Shake it Off) and all you're friends start to make fun of this song. You have privately talked to all these friends about this song, and know that they all love the song as well as you. You aren't sure if you should start to hate on the song as well, or let you're true feelings show.


That was actually really fun! And I great way to get my writers-blockish-thing-that-is-more-like-laziness to go away! What about you all, did I miss something? Please tell me, I want to write more of these!
