hahahaha love that you blame it on not being used to human legs XD awesome :3

So, I'm a manager at a restaurant. Another manager showed his kids my "Merman Jesse" stuff on Youtube and Facebook. The awkward moment is when they come in to chat, but I can't. I immediately go into "character" and I say, 'busy serving the humans right now."

That awkward moment when you invite people over to be there when you unbox your merman tail...and instead pull out you new latex catsuit that you "forgot" to tell your husband you bought!

I totally know that face, and I do that often. :P I told them "the next time that happens, somebody has to take a picture."

I literally pictured an aquatic nightclub.

Ya know, if our population gets big enough, I'll open one. I swear, I will. hahaha Right next to Weeki Wachi Springs. :P

that awkward moment when your boyfriend says sweetly, "youre my little mermaid," then pauses, makes a face, and adds, "without an awkward reference to the disney movie. this is weird now." lolol.

also, i want to add you all as friends.but that would take SO MUCH TIME. first world lazy mer problems. -_-

I will now go out of my way to friend you hear and on FB, because this entire thing made me smile far too much to not do so.

That awkward moment when the class exam review disscussion turns into an hour long session of me answering questions about mermaiding. :D

R.H turned my awkward swimming moments into a comic!

Catfish? ;)

The awkward moment when you turn your turn signal on not to turn, but to navigate a curve.

The awkward moment when you say out loud the awkward moment you just had.

The awkward moment when you realize you are saying it out loud with no one else in the car.

The awkward moment when you rush home to write about the original awkward moment, but forgot until just now!

I do that. Pisses my dad off, he hardly ever uses his blinker. But it's not hurting anyone, I'm 80% sure its not illegal to use your blinker on a curve, and that way I know that I did in fact use my blinker when I turned right onto that street, officer. :)

That awkward moment when you have read all 11 pages of this thread. You're new and it makes you look like a stalker. . .

And it's 5 AM in the morning. . .

That awkward moment when your in the pool with 10 little girls surrounding you and the whistle blows for break and you have to get out of the pool somehow....

I have some awkward moments to look forward to:

That really awkward moment when your looking at your paypal account waiting for money to be transferred, so you can order your first monofin, and then you realize that you don't know what you'll say to your parents, when they ask you what you got. Here's to hoping I'll be at home when it arrives...

That awkaward moment when you finally start making your tail, and you parents ask you what you are making.

That awkward moment when you make your first tail, and your brave enough to swim in it at the public pool, alone. For the first time. How do you get over that one?

That awkward moment when asked while surrounded by little kids how long it takes to put your tail on & make an innocent joke of asking how long it takes a human to put their legs on.... then realizing they have two prosthetic legs & feeling like a complete ass.

oh my gosh. I'd be so embarassed xD

My boyfriend has normal gaming geek friends....that awkward moment when you are having a LAN and one of the boys walks into your room instead of the bathroom and sees your tail hanging in the closet, comes back downstairs and says "DUDE! Your girlfriend is a freak!"

That awkward moment when your boyfriend suddenly starts refering to the tail he was designing for you as 'his tail' and it takes you a minute to figure out that he's agreeing to be a merman in the most subtle way possible, so then you start jumping glomping him while yelling "BE THE FATHER OF MY MERBABIES!" and everyone at the lunch table stares at you like your mad-merwoman.

..... yes, I just did this....:$

I love your for this BTW. If I ever asked my man to fin up he would probably bust a rib laughing. He thinks im adorable but mermaiding is not for him.

Mermaid Odette
p.s. He is however a real life Halo Spartan ;) he made the armor himself

I usually just swim to the side and sit with my tail in the water.

OK thanks! I'll try that next time... When I don't go to the snack bar everytime. xD

That awkward moment when you tie your ankles together and your neighbor thinks you're trying to kill yourself.

That awkward moment during a show when a stingray decides to give you a hug in the face lol

The awkward moment when you try to explain mermaiding to someone who just asked if your tail is doctor mandated physiotherapy. He gave me a look like I was crazy and got out of the pool. XD

That awkward moment when you're taking a tour of the birthing place you've chosen and the nurse asks you why you're so interested in a water birth. then you take your phone out to show her you mer-ternity photos....

That awkward moment right after you smash your nose on the pool wall, because your mono fin rocks, and you have your eyes closed to keep out chorine, and the bar gives you free drinks..
I ended up with two black eyes, but I finished the f***ing show, cuz thats how I roll:)

That awkward moment when you forget how to spell, "Awkward."

That awkward moment when your sitting on rocks in your tail and two fishermen come up and ask to take a picture with you.

Of course! xD

Awkward moment when at camp introduction you are standing up and everyone's looking at you, and the interesting fact about yourself that you have chosen is "I am a mermaid performer in training"
and then you have to explain it to the 100 teenagers looking at you XD.

Awkward moment in an airplane when you have your mono-fin in a gift bag and it is getting in the way of everything.

That moment when you find out your sick :(

The akward when you are working on your tail and you realize your friend, Bubbles, is crying over your shoulder because she doesn't have a tail yet
