The awkward moment when you're at the nail salon, torn between getting fish or a scale design and just go with the fish, and your mom says, "Mermaids?" and you just nod.

The awkward moment when you're at the nail salon, torn between getting fish or a scale design and just go with the fish, and your mom says, "Mermaids?" and you just nod.
That awkward moment when you start to effectively swim on the bottom of the public pool, with your monofin, only to see it's not as clean-looking from what you see on the surface. Also, you start to "race" other surface swimmers with your monofin, swimming underwater, and even when you give them a yard head start, you end up getting to the other side first.
[QUOTE=Nyx;30797]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.]
I did that this summer at my camp! Everyone had to say where they wanted to be in 5 years. Everyone had their things, like married, maybe kids, traveling, in college. I said, "Living in Italy as part of a performance art troupe, while doing Fire Poi, and being a performing mermaid on at least a bi-weekly basis, while working as a camp/afterschool program director". Everyone was kind of just surprised and gaped. It was hilarious, and epic.
Dear mother of Neptune, that is amazing. You have gained boat loads of respect from me XD.Quote:

That awkward moment when you're in the bathtub, listening to Mermaid by Train, and just happen to knock over a scallop shell into the tub with your elbow. Theeeen notice you're wearing a sand dollar necklace from earlier. Mermode activate!
Good job my friend, good job.Quote:

I don't really get "The Look." Or at least, not that look. I get the "Just hurry up and finish whatever you're doing" look.
That awkward moment when your mom says she doesn't like mermaids and its confirmed that you're adopted.
That awkward moment when Mer anatomy seems more real and familiar than human anatomy.
Haha! That actually happened to me once!!! :DQuote:

That awkward moment when your swimming in your tail in a public pool and see your old swim coach. :jawdrop:

The awkward moment when you are doing dishes and get a drop of water on your leg, then frantically search for something to wipe it off. Dennis was like WTF.
I was having a blonde mer-moment, ok... DON'T JUDGE ME!
That awkward moment when someone overhears a part of your conversation about tails and he walks up asking,"you want a silicone what?"
That awkward moment when you go digging through Google search pages to find out more about the life time of silicone (how long will this $3k+ tail last is a very good question), and you find your self on a forum of people who are all about extremely life like sex dolls. You realize the thread google lead you to is a discussion on how a manufacturer switched over from tin cure silicone to platinum silicone, and people getting pissed that tin cure was used in the first place.. then you just laugh because apparently they spend the same amount of money on their silicone dolls as we do on our tails and we have the same complaints about quality materials. Then you laugh even harder when you make a joke to yourself about us both belonging to forums that talk about getting silicone "tail" :rotfl:

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That awkward moment when the pool guy comes to clean the pool, and has to step over a huge fish tail lying on the pool deck to do his job.
The awkward moment when you and your friend are swimming in the public pool when your crush walks in. What do you do? Make a shelter of pool floaties and pray he doesn't see you!
Know why on earth would you hide? If he can't accept you for you, then he isn't right! Don't hide yourself :pQuote:

Try being a 55 yr old over weight merman and not be selfconscious.
I'm a 44 year old merman an I don't care what people think. If they don't like it then they don't have to look.
Be Happy Swim Free

Exactly this. :DQuote:

The awkward moment when you get overly ridiculously excited about receiving a large bunch of aquarium plants in front of the neighbours.
BTW I'm so freaking happy right now as I have more 'seaweed' than I could ever use. I love my fiance :)
That awkward moment when... You want to mermaid but can't fully swim like a pro yet. :$
That awkward moment when your a landlocked mermaid that wants to swim so badly that you go outside in the 50 degree weather in your tail and play with a hose for a few hours while your neighbors watch skeptically. And then you realize that they're watching.:$
That awkward moment when you eat so much that ppl start staring, and you think you're not a mermaid... But a manatee.
Lolololol **fails to find a towel in time and falls in kitchen and magically grows gigantic tail**Quote:
