The one thing we all have in common, other than being humans, is that we all have our share of awkward moments in our lives. So much so, in fact, that we have a national day recognizing them.

We feel awkward many times because we are so self aware and self conscious. It's also hard for us to lighten up and not take ourselves too seriously.

I remember one Thanksgiving, I was in the middle of cooking and baking for the Thanksgiving meal and I ran out of pecans. So, hot and sweaty from cooking, I piled in the car and raced to the supermarket. I ran in, saw a young man with the store name tag on and all but shouted at him, "Excuse me sir, can you tell me where your nuts are?!?!"

I realized what I had said when the young man stammered and had an extremely bewildered look on his face. I quickly clarified: "Pecans! Pecans!" Yep -- an awkward, but very funny moment.

I wanted to document an awkward moment for this post, so i visited my brother-in-law/Brand Manager of KOOL's sister station KFMX Wes Nessman.

Wes is not a fan of people invading his space, especially for no apparent reason. So of course, this proved to be an extremely awkward moment.

Enjoy those awkward moments when they happen. They tend to make really funny stories!
