Walking in the same direction as some when trying to move out the way
Caught staring
You say enjoy your meal back to the waiter
Forgetting someones name
People singing Happy Birthday to you
Shirt is inside out
B
Unanswered High Five
Waving at someone who wasnt waving at you
C
Someone holds the door and you are ages away
Fly undone
Talking loud when the music stops
D
