''that awkward moment when...''

It used to be kind of amusing. Now people seem to use it for everything, even when it doesn't make sense!

Confused Expand and provide examples please.

I saw one on twitter - the awkward moment when the 3 people on the sofa were more attractive than Samantha Brick, and one of them was Eamonn Holmes!

That sort of thing?

''that awkward moment when you open the fridge and realise you're out of milk''

Why would this be awkward? Not remotely funny or anything.

fedupofnamechanging · 06/04/2012 15:26

Agreed. That is not funny.

BerryMenlove · 06/04/2012 15:26

karma see I did actually find that one a little chucklesome I must admit.

oh god yes!

Some of the younger members of my facebook (on access at college so lots of 18ish year olds) seem to have awkward moments over every damn thing, it it not funny, it is annoying, i have more 'hidden' friends than visable ones for this very reason!

YANBU. I used to find it quite amusing, but it is far too overused now. Teenagers seem to post on fb about awkward moments ALOT.

IAmBooyhoo · 06/04/2012 15:32

i have a young cousin (15/16ish) who does this and it is quite annoying. i dont think she understands what awkward means or that when syaing it in taht context it is supoosed to be a cringeworthy experience rather than "oh i forgot to get milk"

ChristIsTrulyRisen · 06/04/2012 15:33

Oh yus, I understand it now.

Very tedious it is too.

Overdone.

HillyWallaby · 06/04/2012 15:47

I have not noticed this new phenomenon. Clearly I do not have enough young fb friends. Grin

I shall look out for it. Forewarned is forearmed. I shall prepare my disapproving face in readiness.

That awkward moment when you are a fan of the "that awkward moment" meme...

Ilovedaintynuts · 06/04/2012 15:56

My 18 year niece does this all the time. So boring and unfunny.
Latest 'that awkward moment when your mum says hello to your teacher'
Eh? What's all that about then?

GreenEyesAndHam · 06/04/2012 16:01

Oh lighten up grandmas, it's what all the cool kidz are doing innit?

Don't pretend y'all didn't have your own versions of daft phrases

EmmaCate · 06/04/2012 16:03

daintynuts that would drive me nuts. Bloody teenagers who think they are smart arses. I would probably say something like 'Yeah - because it's only a matter of time before your mother and teacher start discussing your preferred position for sex.'

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/04/2012 16:06

I've never heard it over used either.
I'm boring or missing something. aren't I?

SuePurblybiltFromChocolate · 06/04/2012 16:19

Eh? Is this a thing then?

WatneyShed · 06/04/2012 16:50

My 12yo dn posts some good ones, although I do often think how do you know? You're 12

MadameChinLegs · 06/04/2012 16:55

Oh, i did like the Awkward Moment where Neville is the better looking one from Harry Potter though. He is well fit now in comparison to the others
