What do you do in tight situations?

[Infi]

By that, I mean - are you a quick thinker? (in perspective that you also get the job done, with a persuasive case) How do you respond to such unexpected events that just unfold right in front of you, out of the blue?

 

 

 

Here are some examples (try answering them!)

 

 

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

These are just a few examples I have outlined of possible scenarios, feel free to provide more

[Nadril]

I'm too cool for those to happen to me. 8-)

[Infi]

I'm too cool for those to happen to me. 8-)

 

I was going to say something about that, thanks for reminding me hehe

 

 

 

There are also some people who it seems that NOTHING bad can happen to them, it just doesn't occur to them - but what happens when something does happen ? This just makes this thread even more interesting, hehe.

 

 

 

P.S. Be a good sport, Nad

[Nadril]

Heh nah, I'm pretty awkward. I think my answer for all those questions would be I'd just try to shrug it off like it didn't happen.

[Nom]

Case B actually happened to me before, only I was innocent as charged.

 

 

 

Basically, I was sitting behind a girl in a study hall and was sort of staring into space. All of a sudden another girl who was turned around talking to the first goes:

 

 

 

OMG! Were you just looking at her butt?!?!

 

 

 

Me: Uh . . . no . . .

[cadburys_egg]

I bonk.

 

 

 

 

None of these sort of situations tend to happen to me, bar maybe the faceplants/running into barricades. I tend to just let out an exhasperated groan, say some sort of obscenity and carry on.

[Lenticular_J]

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next? Pull the ketchup packets out of my pocket and go for a ride to the hospital.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond? "I like your breasts." - been done a number of times.

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you. They're probably my friends, so I throw something at them.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?That's how it is anyways. So I ask if she wants to practice.

 

 

 

Answers in bold. Doesn't really happen to me much, but, meh.

[muggiwhplar]

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

Laugh at myself and comment on how silly that was

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

"Because you are very attractive" (if a woman) "Because I'm gay" (if a guy... this would never happen btw lol)

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

Ignore them

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

Nothing... be comfortable with the silence and let her be the one to try to salvage the moment if she's uncomfortable

 

 

 

In tight situations... I be myself :P

[Giordano]

Interesting questionaire.

 

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

Laugh it off and try to calm the crowd down.

 

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

"So you're saying you don't have a nice arse?"

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

Same as 1, laugh it off. But since they're probably ignorant teenagers have some cursing and slurs thrown in my head.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

"What's wrong?"

 

I really had to think on this one...what would I do? Then I thought the first thing that came out of my head. ^

[Zierro]

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

Say loud and sarcastically, "Wow, I should be more careful next time."

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

"Just being a guy."

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

Pretend to cry then run away.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

Do this: :oops:

 

 

 

The key to avoiding embarrassment is to strip yourself from seriousness. But when it comes to an awkward kiss, I don't think there's much you can do.

[Range_This11]

I always say something stupid or dumb to break the awkward silence. If I publicly humiliate myself, I usually take a bow. I've had it happen to me before and it usually makes it better for the people that saw it too.

[Cup Lion]

Funny, providing these cases, I have time to think about what I would do. If they were to happen unexpectedly, I would completey freeze up. Anyways...

 

 

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

Rub my face, then laugh about it with my friends.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

Firstly, I never do that. But if that were to happen, I would simply lie to them and tell them I wasn't looking there.

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

Probably ignore them and walk extremely fast to the movie.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

Let's see, I would say, "Well, that was weird. Want to get something to eat?"

 

 

 

I am a very shy person, myself, so all of these would involve my face getting red, and minutes of tearing pieces of paper up in my pockets.

[oegly41]

(I answered these before I read any other answers.)

 

 

 

Case A:

 

 

 

I will stand up again, and if I am able to, I will laugh. If I am not able to laugh, I will take the pain as good as I can and pretend nothing happened.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

 

 

Say: "If you don't want me to look at them, don't give me anything to look at."

 

 

 

 

 

Case C:

 

 

 

Laugh with them. :lol:

 

 

 

Case D:

 

 

 

Hmm... Awkward... If I know myself right, I would probably comment the room we are in or the weather, or something. :oops:

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

Interesting questionaire.

 

"So you're saying you don't have a nice arse?"

 

 

Touché! :D

[Lenin64]

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next? Beat them to death.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond? Beat them to death.

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you. Beat them to death.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next? Beat them to death.

 

 

 

If that fails or is unpractical for whatever reason:

 

A. This has happened to me before, but instead of slipping I crashed into someone. Everything went all slo-mo, but so did I, so I didn't really have time to think of anything but how to land properly. I just got up and left.

 

 

 

B. Look up and say, distractedly, "I'm sorry, what?"

 

 

 

C. I would...well, no, beat them to death is the best answer for this one.

 

 

 

D. Something totally outrageous, like go back for more or something.

[mmmcannibalism]

If i ever run into something or fall I just bust out laughing at the fact my balance or focus is terrible at times.

 

 

 

I laugh because i always phase out staring into space then snap back into focus because someone walks in front of me and it would probably look bad except that I look so unfocused noone actually thinks im staring

[Rebdragon]

I'm too cool for those to happen to me. 8-)

 

I didn't recognize your new avatar, so I was able to look at this post from an unbiased view.

 

 

 

Dude, bad joke :P .

[Jimmyw3000]

Haha, i ususlly just laugh these off.

 

 

 

Except maybe in B, where i'd probably say something like "cos they're big" *wink wink*

[Abyssalwhip]

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

I don't get embarrassed by those kind of things, so just find a paper towel and stop the bleeding

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

"I wasn't looking there perv" (I don't really do that crap anyway)

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel

[warren211]

I'm the kind of person who takes way too much time to think of a response for any split second occurance.

 

 

 

Case A: laugh it off. unless I get hurt, then I'd scream in agony even if I'm not hurt that bad.

 

 

 

Case B: I'd say I wasn't looking there, and ask why she was looking at me.

 

 

 

Case C: Laugh with them.

 

 

 

Case D: This is where I'd stutter and hope she has a good conversation starter. I'm never good at romance.

[llamster]

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

Get up, ignore the pain, and pretend it didn't happen.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

I would say that I wasn't looking there.

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

I'd tell them to shut up.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

I have no idea.

 

 

 

[Zonorhc]

I do what I do in every tight situation.

 

 

 

Lube up and JAM IT IN.

 

 

 

(Metaphorically, of course)

[Abyssalwhip]

Sig worthy.

 

 

 

Anyways I have another one for the list. (this has not happened to me just kind of funny to see the replies)

 

 

 

You're [bleep] without a care in the world and all of a sudden mommy comes in and you minimize the browser only to have a picture of a guy from something else you were looking at and mommy sees that, whatcha do?

 

 

 

(inb4 lol dat happnd 2 u)

i would never [bleep] with my mom home and if i am [bleep] im to quick for that

[Solidus_77]

What you say doesn't matter much. Body language says it all. And yeah, it's pretty easy to say whatever given the time to think about it. (My answers are just the first thing(s) that came to mind though)

 

 

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

"Don't worry, that was supposed to happen"

 

or

 

"this time I'll do it right" and get back up there.

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

Depends on the girl

 

Either:

 

 

 

"I thought I saw something interesting but on second thought I'll pass"

 

"Don't worry, I was paying attention"

 

"Hmm, sorry? haha, just kidding"

 

 

 

Or:

 

"My, you must have quite an imagination :)"

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

Smile and/or laugh with them or go up to them and talk to them. That's a great way to meet friends btw (I can easily relate my passion for watching stupid people do stupid things).

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

Erm, I'd cut in before the awkward silence but if it does happen then I'd say something like "That was pretty awkward huh? Well then we better re-do it"

[Iamdan]

Solidus_77 is right, it's more about the body language you use. If you pretend you don't care, you will look like a bigger idiot than if you acted embarrassed. You have to either be a pro with body language, or actually not care.

 

 

 

I would be able to think of something on the spot, but the first things that come to mind now:

 

 

 

Case A:

 

You slip and completely fall off balance, giving yourself a nice face plant on the concrete floor, amidst a crowd of friends and strangers. What do you do next?

 

 

 

I would stand up and throw my hands up calling "I'm ok!"

 

 

 

Case B:

 

You get caught staring at a woman's bust/man's region who you know and are confronted with:

 

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE?" How do you respond?

 

 

 

Keep staring and say "I think one's bigger than the other/moving by itself."

 

 

 

Case C:

 

You're walking in a cinema, and all of a sudden you try to go around an area and stupidly run into a barricade, and a group of teenagers repeatedly point and laugh at you.

 

 

 

That happened to a friend a couple years ago who laughed it off. Depending on the situation I might just go talk to them.

 

 

 

Case D:

 

You're kissing a girl. (Assume this is your first time) Even though they have accepted the notion of love, it is very stiff and un-natural. An awkward silence follows. What do you do or say next?

 

 

 

I would just keep it going, I'm never stiff or un-natural. (Ok maybe the first one.)
