12 Common, But Super-Awkward Situations We've All Experienced in Life

Remember the time you thought you could secretly let out a fart, only to realize that the very moment it happened, there was a power outage and everyone around you suddenly went silent?

Or the time you visited a public bathroom and couldn't let loose to your heart's content because there were people in other stalls? Or perhaps the time you accidentally let one rip but refused to leave until everyone else had left so no one would know it was you?

But wait, is this article about public bathrooms and farts? Of course not.

However, these are some of the most common yet weirdest situations we've all experienced at least once in our lives. Fear not, those who haven't faced this self-dignity-crushing situation; your time shall come.

Fazry Maulana is an artist who speaks for all of us. He knows these common but super-awkward situations all too well, and he used the power of comics to show us that we're not alone.

With over 7K followers on Instagram, Maulana understands that the best way to connect with people is through what we have in common—awkward situations. There's no shortage of them because life enjoys trolling us.

Without further ado, let's check out Maulana's comics so we can all cry and laugh together!

1. ROFL.

This is why it's super important to take care of business before falling asleep. It's wrong to take anyone else to the beach. LOL

2. Happens All the Time.

Isn't it strange how all horrifying sounds seem to happen only when it's dark and super silent? Or maybe that's when we hear better, but still.

There's a cupboard in my home that creaks only at night when it's silent, but never in the morning when it's also quiet. smh.

3. Eeek. This Is So True.

Phones have become our top priority because they help us remain sane. There's no sugarcoating it; I'm sorry.

4. LOL. No Comments.

I have so many questions, but I have a feeling there aren't any right answers.

5. ROFL.

Coffee lovers, you need to understand that tea drinkers exist. It's not a myth.

We're real people who run on tea just as much as you run on coffee.

6. Resolutions Are Meant to Be Broken.

While 2017 was a great year, 2018 began wreaking havoc on people's lives, and 2019 was the cherry on top. 2020 isn't recommended either.

7. This Is Murphy's Law.

Isn't it strange when you spend 90% of your time together, but your friends are better than you in school? We'll never know why.

8. It's All About Finding the Silver Lining...

Whether Jon's right or wrong, at least he's having fun.

9. Sorry, Squidward, Not Today.

Remember Ebony Maw from the Black Order in Marvel Comics? Yeah, he's not Squidward.

10. True Story.

This guy gained the weight back after eating a piece of cake. For people like us, even if we just smell cake, we gain 10 kg out of thin air.

It's true, though; it takes months to lose weight, but only a second to gain it all back with interest.

11. Uh. Thank You for the Nightmare.

Thankfully, this doesn't happen in real life, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in reel life. Imagine if a strand of hair pulled a demon out of a bowl of noodles, though.

Sick thought.

12. Oh. Slick Dig.

Um. This one's beyond my commentary. Next, please.

In Summary...

You can't escape the awkward moments of life, so instead of feeling sorry for yourself, laugh it all out. You'll most likely remember these awkward moments for eternity, but at least they won't haunt you.

Well, here's hoping that your next awkward moment won't be as bad as the ones mentioned here!
