Scavenger hunt:: the hunt for awkward

Many years ago when the movie Quiz Show came out, my then husband and I were having our morning coffee in the cafe (we lived in Seattle) and trying to figure out our plans for the day. We were discussing a movie, and he asked about Quiz Show. I went off on a long rip of how boring it looked and why on earth would I pay good money to see someone like Rob Morrow, and that he couldn't act his way out of a paper bags there was more to it, and surprise surprise, I'm not nice.

My husband grabbed me and pulled me aside and asked me to look at the man staring red-faced and miserably at his paper. Yup, Rob Morrow had been sitting next to us.

There I was, about to meet the Russian President. There has been much bad blood between us, and since he is a heartless megalomaniac I was reluctant to shake hands with him. Extend my hand I did, though, in front of a thousand cameras and – awkward moment coming – he looked at it like it was a cold rotten squid. He reluctantly shook it, but not until the press had recorded the whole fiasco. Don't laugh at me.

So this didn't happen to me but I was there when it took place and it's the most embarrassed I've ever seen my sister-in-law.

My husband's sister and her husband had just come back from their honeymoon. My in laws picked them up from the airport and took them back to their house to pick up their dogs and their car. When they were unloading the luggage my father-in-law notices that one of the duffle bags is wet so they start unpacking to see what had spilled. Turns out, it was a tube of lube that had busted open in the bag and gotten all over everything. My sister-in-law turned about 100 shades of red and grabbed the tube and the bag as fast as she could and said "we'll clean it out at home!!

That was about 12 years ago and we all still laugh about it today lol

Talk about awkward - There I was, singing and dancing my heart out in the Super bowl halftime show. Singing a duet with Justin Timberlake, and the crowd was going wild! Suddenly, right while I was hitting the high note, He bumped my costume jacket and I was exposed! Exposed for the stadium crowd and 50 million people in the TV audience to see. Was my face red!

Please disregard my other riveting submissions, @sohmageek, I finally remembered one.

Okay, for realz.
I was still in high school when a bunch of friends visited a slightly older friend who had a cabin. We were all staying over, but everyone didn’t have a sleeping bag so we had to share. I was between two guys, lying on my back. One guy put his hand on my stomach, then the other did the same. I was frozen, not knowing what to do. Before long, though, they were holding each other’s hand, thinking it was mine. The truth never came out. Awkward.

Congrats @marklog! A collection of stories where yours isn't the most awkward or cringe-inducing.

Back in June @LazyZombie's parents, brother and sister-in-law were all visiting. We were all hanging out in the hotel lounge having drinks and his brother asked if anyone had seen the basketball game, since he had heard that LeBron had accidentally exposed himself on live television.
No one had seen the incident so we pulled up an article on someones phone. Everyone watched the video clip and couldn't really see anything but there was also a screen shot of it.
This was a small picture on a phone of a capture of video, so even in the picture no one could really say one way or the other if there was anything to see.
Until, the picture was passed to @LazyZombie's mom, who found out the picture could zoom, a lot.
The picture was then passed back around in a not so discreetly way so we accidentally flashed flashed a 5inch picture of Lebron's dick to most of the hotel lounge.

Don't I win this by default?
