Awkwardocity

You know what sucks? When you're waving hello to a friend down the hall and another random person, who you don't really know all that well, springs out from behind a well-hidden doorway and intercepts the friendly gesture, only to look back and realize that it wasn't meant for them. It's just awkward for all parties involved.

Although I must admit, it's considerably less awkward being the waver than the poor bloke stuck in the middle, who more-often-than-not just so happens to be myself, while the waver more-often-than-not just so happens to be an attractive girl with the recipient being either her attractive female friend or her genetically enhanced boyfriend.

On a side note...I can't think of any word that more accurately portays the essence of its meaning than the word "awkward". It looks awkward when you see it, it feels awkward when you type it, and it sounds awkward when you say it. I don't know the etymology behind it, but oh how fitting.
