It was a while ago but I was on the bus, and you know when you look in a direction and make sudden eye contact with someone it's weird, but I always look away real quick, well I did it with this middle age black guy and I decided not to look away and he proceeded to look at me with this half confused/half pissed off face until I looked away. It was worse too because he walked up to the seat he was going to use, but didn't sit down. So he was prolonging sitting down just to stare at me.
Had an interview today. The moment the interviewer saw me, she said "Oh, I thought you were black. You have a black name."

What's your name?
Natasha. This sort of thing happens in casual interactions lots of times. But this is the very first time I have had this happen in a professional interaction. :| I kinda didn't know how to respond, so I just awkwardly smiled.
Ever had one ? From memory I remember ordering something in Hard Rock Cafe, the waiter goes "Enjoy your good Anon", I replied "You too"

I've similar situations to that. I've had a couple times when an employee just said hello to me and I was like "good thanks". :P Haha, yeah I hate it when that happens. What does "Enjoy your good Anon" even mean?

What job were you applying for? That's really unprofessional what he said, not necessarily offensive, but still...

Yeah, I wasn't offended, just shocked to hear it in that sort of situation lol. But it's not a fancy working place, just a produce store. Even so, I would think you'd want to have a profressional-like impression.
I'm a really awkward person. I have moments like that all the time. But I'm used to it now, so they don't seem as awkward.

I'm like this too. Sometimes I purposfully cause awkward moments.
Same although I don' t do it on purpose. I may say or act weird in many conversations and then when it' s over I' m like "what did I just say?" or "why did I do that?"

Currently my awkwardness is not on purpose, but in high school I used to fvck with people so bad. Like if a girl was talking to me and say how a movie looked really good or something implying that she wants me to ask her I'd be like "yeah I saw it, it's really good, you should go see it" and they'd be like "...yeah...ok."

Today, I just couldn't take my eyes off this one person at the dentist. We kind of exchanged looks for a while. It's also really awkward whenever you have a stiffy in public.
