Ok I have this friend Delroy who used to live in Jamaica and needless to say he's black. One time he came to long island to hang out and stuff and when he pulled into my driveway i was talking to my neighbor, who is russian and hasnt met a lot of black people. so he gets out of the car and she didnt really know what to say to him so she said quite possibly the worst thing ever

"oh hi...i uh i love eddie murphy! he was good in coming to america"

He just stared at her for like a minute and said "uh yeah he uh he was".

WHAT ARE SOME AWKWARD MOMENTS YOU HAD?

Is this awkward moments involving black people, or awkward moments in general?

My grandmother lives on a small island outside my town called Gossen, and came to visit one time when my Polish friend was around. They shook hands, and for some reason my granny figured he was foreign. He spoke perfect Norwegian, maybe it was because his name was Kacper. She asked him, "You're foreign, aren't you?" and he said "Uhm... yeah, I'm Polish." "Oh," she said, "we've got some Tamils out on Gossen as well."

I remember when I was masturbating on the couch and I climaxed so hard I passed out. When I woke my dad was sitting on his chair watching tv. I was covered in crusted semen. Bad times

Oh, that reminds me of this one I'd forgotten. I was sitting at the entrance of the bar I worked at and had to sell people those annoying beer-tickets that suck so much and check their entry card as well, and 3 black guys showed up and I asked them, in french, to show me their ticket. They showed it to me and then ordered some beer tickets, of course, in dutch which is what everybody speaks. I felt so racistical then. It was awkward.

Okay, well back when I was still working at the grocery store job I had in high school, I was putting movies back out on the rack because my boss decided that renting movies in a grocery store was good for business (really it was just a pain in the ass).

This 70-year-old lady who always talked non-stop came up behind me and asked, "Do you rent any of those skin movies?"

I didn't really know what to say, so I was all like, "Uh... no, because little kids and families shop here..."

"Oh, that's good to hear. About ten years ago my husband and I were out at the lake with our son's family, and he accidentally rented one of those skin movies."

I slowly started to back away...

"I didn't really like it. I figured, why watch something that I can do myself?"

I didn't know what to say, so I mumbled something about having to go back to work. I couldn't get an erection for several days after that.

My adopted cousin, who is Chinese, was over at my house for some family thing. She was in the kitchen, and I was watching television, my grandpa (who lives with us and fought in World War II) came out of the kitchen and said something like, "So, who's that Jap in the kitchen?" As he said this, my cousin stepped into the room, heard him, and just stood there for a second, I looked up, and she just ran out of the room. That was pretty awkward.

(For clarification, it was my cousin on my mom's side, and my grandpa on my dad's side.)

that's a fantastic, yet horrific story Chimp. And it kinda sounds like the plot for some gross grannies-with-young-studs porno.

One time I got an IM from a girl whom I know well enough personally, but I mostly think of her as a real good friend of my real good friend. She explained that her boyfriend was being severed from her by his mom, so she asked me to call him to tell him stuff. I started dialing and prepared the words, 'Hi, this is a friend of Natasha, yadda yadda...'. After two rings, a female voice answered the phone. I started to ask, "can I speak with..." then I realized that I forgot to ask his name, and Natasha never told me. So I was just kind of like, "you know, I don't know with whom I'm supposed to speak. Is there a young male there?" And of course it was his mom, and she knew exactly what was going on. She told me that Natasha is going to ruin everybody's life including mine, if I don't avoid her from now on. Then she hung up.

Student loan guy called, asking for my stepdad. Of course, I said he wasn't there.

"Um, okay, do you know where he is?"
"No, I'm not entirely sure."
"Don't know where he is? What's wrong with you?"
"Uh, sorry. I guess he's at work or something." (note: my stepdad doesn't work)
"Oh, really? Where does he work?"
"Um, uh...I don't know."
"Don't know where he works, 'eh?"
"Somewhere close to here, I guess at the gas station or something."
"Uh-huh. Do you know the number?"
"Um, no."
"Okay, thanks. I'm gonna give you a number so he can call me back, alright?"

The guy said the number, and I just pretended to take it down.

"Okay, I got it."
"Alright, can you repeat that number for me?"
"Um...no. Heh."
"Oh, alright, well you just wasted my time, thank you."
"Um, uh, er...bye."

This same guy keeps calling repeatedly, sometimes mistaking me for my mom.

Recently two people in a town close to mine where found stabbed to death.
Anyway, me and my college friends where all sitting around in class the other day. We could not do any work as there was a power cut, so we where just chit chatting away round this big desk with the lecturer at the front chatting to someone when this guy i know says to one of his friends

"...i already killed 2 people this week in [town name]"

Well, that wasnt the whole sentance but my memory is somewhat fuzzy.

annyywayy, at this point the lecturer looks up and says

"Thats actually not very funny, i knew both those guys really well, they where on a similar course to yours"

*silence*

"I know their families quite well too"

Now everyone is in a silent state of 'oh shit', the guy who said it is trying to cover up what he said but just keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into the hole of akwardness and the lecturer is just staring at him with a look of 'you insensitve bastard' and probably making a mental note to fail his next assignment,

It was a truly cringe worthy moment.
