(I am going to do this, after I have decided which purple is closes to my magictail.)
That awkward moment when you realize that the swim fins which you welded together as a homemade monofin are positively-buoyant...and you have to use your arms to avoid kicking air.
I'll have to double-check this massive thread to ensure that this hasn't appeared elsewhere already....Anyway, much love to you all, these are very funny! :mermaid kiss:
That awkward moment when you try doing barrel rolls at the bottom of the pool like all the pro mermaids, and no matter how hard you try, you can't stay at the bottom, so your rolling ends up at the surface and you're flopping up there like a dying fish.
That awkward moment when you're chillin in your tail on the couch and your heel starts itching in your monofin O.o
That awkward moment when you go to the surface and the lifeguard comes to you and ask if he can borrow your tail to attract the ladies :doh:
(Indeed, at the French pool where I swim, lots of girls and women come to talk to me lol)

you sure its just the tail?
Who knows?
My gaydar is off about this guy so I'm confident it's just the tail. He's cute but I prefer his colleague who is more muscular. And when that person wear a speedo, I call it a good day lol :p

Well, why wouldn't the girls come talk to you? You are cuter than a speckled pup in a red wagon, and oh! Dat ass! ;)Quote:

The awkward part was when she asked me how my lungs got so strong. I said many activities help, including singing. She took that too literally and began diving to the bottom of the pool and coming up to the surface singing (waling). She did this every time she took breath, and I tried so hard not to laugh.
Since, like 75% of all hermaphrodites, I was brought up as a male, I have a slew of awkward mer-related moments to share related to that experience! I'll start with just one, though, in case this is too difficult for the other mers to relate to....
That awkward moment when you're first placed as a lifeguard for the summer and your female manager is really excited about the life-sized Little Mermaid wall decorations which she was able to install; you were already excited just at leading a small "mermaid battle-squadron" in a video game earlier that same month, but you are socially-compelled to act as though you are only being sympathetic to her 'girly' interests....
(...and people wonder why it's so hard to get men to put on tails....)
Well, it gets better! :meditation::mermaid kiss:
That awkward moment when you're in the bath wearing your tail and your Auntie calls saying she's coming round!
That awkward moment when you're gluing seaweed strands to your friend's top.
That awkward moment when you're helping your friend make a duct tape dummy of her legs.
That awkward moment when you are hopping in your monofin to face the other end, because you haven't learnt how to do the swimmers turn in the lap pool.
That awkward moment when you feel someone staring at you, and turn around to find some of the lifeguards smiling and giggling at you.:lol:
That awkward moment when you're on the side of the pool trying to get out of your tail while attempting to keep a towel around your waist I case more comes down than expected........ All while an adult aerobics class is just sitting in the pool staring directly at you.
That at awkward moment when the adult aerobics class says things like "wow her tail is so tight" "looks like she's having a hard time getting it off" "it must be even harder with 29 adults staring at her" *continues to stare*
That awkward moment when you fall asleep in your tail and when you wake up you don't remember you are wearing it...
Lady I was sharing a swim lane with wanted to know where to buy my monofin (oceanika) and so before I left I went to the lifegaurd office to ask for paper and one of the lifegaurds immediatly said "I WANNA BE A MERMAID WITH YOU!" I'll be honest, it startled me. The male lifegaurd in the office with her just looked at her like "wtf?" then when I started telling her my plans to make a full tail he turned the look to me. lol
that awkward moment when your fiancé asks you if you have dreamt of him and you nod, knowing that it's half lie half truth, and you stat telling your dream, omitting the merman part..
That awkward moment when your dad starts talking about your tail in front of your highly-judgmental brother-in-law, whom you hadn't told about your tail because you knew he would give you a hard time about it. Thanks, Dad, thanks.
My favorite reply to this sort of thing? "SCROOM!"
(It means 'Screw 'Em!')
:D
nice maybe another one for our meet up in july. we may have finally woken some mers up in Colorado. a guy from texas started this meet.
That awkward moment when you almost squeeze silicone onto your toothbrush instead of tooth paste XD
Lol Kishiko! I've done that with other materials... Good thing it never made it to my mouth (and yours too hopefully!)
WHY DO YOU HAVE SILICONE BY YOUR TOOTHPASTE O.O;
lol @ seaglass siren. :D
TAMW your boyfriends name is Erik.
ERIK! the phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantom ooooooof the oooooooperaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
@seaglasssiren hahaha because I was using GE silicone on ozone thing on my bathroom counter and just never put it away :P
The awkward moment when you get allergy therapy (aka shots in both arms every day) and thus have very prominent bruises that are plain as day to see while you're swimming.
Awkward moment when you swim up to your friend and grab their leg to spook them, and then realise it's not actually your friend. Hahaha oops. :$
Major points for being a mermaid AND a Phangirl! It's OK that you didn't immediately think "Prince Eric" instead; it ended with a "K"! :mermaid kiss:Quote:

That awkward moment when you dream to go to a mermaid meet up where nobody (except you) wants to swim x.x

That awkward moment when a kid thinks your real and the parent asks you where you bought your tail, crushing the little girl's dreams u-u

That awkward moment when your tail gets dirty in public.
That awkward moment when a girl thinks you're a real mermaid and their older brother insists there is no such thing...and you are sworn to reply truthfully.:pirate::shark:
Remember the original story of The Little Mermaid; if you are a good person, you may become a real mermaid yourself someday! It may not be official Catholic doctrine, but I don't see why there can't be merfolk in Heaven! (angel) :mermaid kiss:
The akward moment when you wakeup in your tail wondering why people are staring at you like thatQuote:

That awkward moment when a family friend comes over and I'm siting in my tail and a bathing suit top and sculpting a fluke on the dining room table. Hehe hi Bob!
