My uncle once got into an elevator with a woman who had a slightly noticeable belly. He asked if he was a boy or a girl. The woman just whispered, “I’m not pregnant.” They only went up two floors. But my uncle said it was the longest “trip” of his life. © cormack16 / RedditWas walking down a busy street; the girls coming towards me were smiling at me. Well, nothing special happens, but this time, everyone smiles. At first I thought it was especially beautiful. Then I checked the zipper on the pants: it was closed. Finally, a man said to me, “Dude, look at your feet.” Yes, I had heels on my shoes — those kind of thin fabric “gloves” that we put over our shoes when we enter hospitals. I had two huge ones, bright blue in color. He had just left the hospital. © CaptainLion / Pikabu

When I was in sixth grade, I fell head over heels in love with a girl. I remember one time I was walking down the hall and suddenly I saw her… We didn’t even exchange a few sentences, she just passed silently, but my eyes were locked on her, I turned my head to watch her pass. And just like in the movies, I tripped over something and fell to the ground. She turned and I was up and running before she could say anything. © Mustafa Abbas / QuoraI was saying goodbye to my boyfriend. He hugged me and said, “Meow.” I was a little taken aback, because I don’t like all that sweetness. I said to him, “What was that, you fool? Don’t you know people don’t meow? All you had to do was put on cat ears!” An awkward pause and he looked at me smiling. And then I realized I was wearing a hat with cat ears. © Palata № 6 / VKI am studying Veterinary Medicine. When I interact with animals, I talk to them. I can’t help but say a word to a cat, dog or bird. The other day, I saw an old dog in the elevator. Automatically, I said to him, “You have a hard life, don’t you, old man?” And just then, I noticed the dog’s owner. He was an elderly man. He said to me: “How rude of you, young lady!” I was so shocked that I didn’t even have time to say a word in my defense. © Palata № 6 / VK

I have a strange habit… When no one is home, I stand in front of the mirror and start thanking my imaginary YouTube followers for the fact that there are a million of them. I make such a sentimental speech that I start to cry. There was even an embarrassing situation where my grandmother came into the room and saw that I was mumbling something crying. I managed to convince her that she was watering because my eyes were burning from the mascara. © Palata № 6 / VKI had laser myopia surgery. After this procedure, for some time, everything looks rather blurry. I had theater tickets to see “Hamlet” the very night after the surgery and decided to go so as not to lose the tickets. Besides, I really liked that play. And so, I arrived at the theater, and, at the entrance, there was a man sitting with a mug asking for coins. I, being in a good mood, put a coin for him. It was actually a mug of coffee. As it turned out, this man was a regular visitor to the theater and had a habit of having coffee outside before entering the lobby. © allthatrazmataz / RedditI was walking in a light rain. The street was empty, and about 100 feet away, I saw a girl. She was near a store, smiling. I looked around and saw no one behind. I also smiled at her, already imagining how we would meet, get married, have beautiful children, and so on. So I approached that beauty and realized it was a mannequin. © Lownmower / PikabuI was in line at Starbucks with a friend. All of a sudden we saw that the guy making the coffee was a charm. We realized that he was the one who was going to take our order. We were awkward, giggling, you know how it is… he It’s our turn. My friend ordered, and then I saw the guy staring at me. Something inside me “clicked” and instead of proposing, I said, “Emma!” My friend whispered, “He didn’t ask his name. He wants to know what you are going to take.” Ah, I wanted to be swallowed by the earth. © Emma Anne / Quora

Once, at the cinema, I took my son by the hand and sat in the armchair with him in the seat next to me. And only then did I realize that I was mistaken and that was not my child. © TheAdminer / RedditI’m ashamed to admit it, but I suck at expressing condolences. For example, when my friend’s grandmother passed away, I called her and at the end of the conversation said: “Well, bye, have fun!” Another situation. My friend’s father passed away at the age of 58. Everyone was devastated. I called him and the first thing he said was “Hello! Are you alive there?” © Vjekoslav Nemec / QuoraI still blush when I remember how one time at the cinema the cashier wanted to give me my change, he held out his hand with a clenched fist and I hit him with my fist, thinking it was a greeting . I even made an explosion sound, something like “Buff!” © Tamery / PikabuI was still a kid at the time. A friend of my father knocked on the door. My dad didn’t want to see him and asked me to open up and say he wasn’t home. And I couldn’t think of anything better than to open the door and say, “Hi, Dad asked me to let you know he’s not home.” Fifteen years have passed, I’m still ashamed. © dondraper65 / Reddit
