Don't. Make. Eye Contact.

People often share awkward and embarrassing moments, in an attempt to make others feel better about the time they plugged the toilet at their in laws house or asked someone when they were due, when in fact, all they were due for, was a few less bags of chips.
Agreed, dropping a feminine pad the size of a toddlers diaper, in front of your high school boyfriend is embarrassing. But I believe I may have found the situation in life that  leaves me the most uncomfortable.
Making eye contact with someone through the crack in the door of the public bathroom stalls.
Nothing is worse than when employing the quad shattering squat method (say that five times fast) in a public loo and you look up to catch a strangers eye through the crack in your door. It just feels odd.

Other situations that me uneasy:
1.) Waking up the sleeping stranger beside you in the airplane so you can use the bathroom.
2.) Going in for the hug with a partial friend or semi-acquaintance and when you're 85% there, you realise that the hug recipient is going for the handshake instead.
But when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. The next time you catch someone eyeing you through the crack, cross your eyes, scrunch up your face and yell "I'M GONNA NEED BACK UP!" Maybe they won't be there when you get out. Or maybe they will. That would be awkward.
