AWKward

I was in two awkward situations today, but they were the funny kind of awkward. You know, like in Superbad when the tall guy is saying bye to the girl he likes and walking away, but she's going the same direction.

1) At Trader Joe's:
Cashier: Hi, how are you?
Me: I'm fine, and you?
Cashier: I'm fine, how are you?
Me(thinking): uh...should I keep this going?

I couldn't think quickly enough to say anything witty. It was a long day(midterm, lack of sleep, etc...), and I didn't know how to react, so I just kinda pretended it didn't happen and ignored her. What's funny is that this isn't the first time this has happened to me, and the cashier lady seemed kinda offended that I didn't respond. Whatever.

2) In an elevator in Moffitt, on the bottom floor:
Me: *Holds the door cuz some guy's running up*
Guy coming in: Is this going up?
Me: Uh...I think so.

I couldn't think of anything to say to that either. Ok. That doesn't count as awkward, but it was kinda funny.


Superbad.
