Awkward behavior is an inevitability of the human experience. Just think of how many times you’ve looked down and realized that your fly has been open, and you’ll know I’m right.
We make stilted chitchat in the break room, we accidentally say “you too” at the most inopportune moments, we fumble our words and end up wishing someone the “very breast” — we are all pretty much bumbling idiots when it comes to the intricacies of relating to and interacting with one another.
Fortunately, our cringe-worthy behavior usually ends up being pretty entertaining.
Here are some delightfully awkward tweets to remind you that even the most oafish and artless behavior can be fairly hilarious — in hindsight, that is.
