What is the habit you do in awkward situations?

10 comments

1. I usually start having an autism related inner panic attack and promptly excuse myself and leave.

2. Stare into the soul of my opponent till he backs down or engages.

3. Own it. Lean back and embrace the weirdness.

4. I play with my lighter/whatever is in my pocket.

5. Smoke cigarettes

6. Leave.

   Or, if it’s a situation where I can, smoke cigarettes at a prodigious rate.

7. I bust out my best interpretive dance moves and hope no one joins in. It gets real weird real quick.

8. I fake sneeze but I have practiced it a lot so it seems real, then people look at you and change the subject

9. Go for a smoke or leave, mostly combined in that order.

10. I say out loud “Well this got awkward”
