Fear of deportation and no access to fundamental rights
Most men can probably relate to this one. When you're at a public toilet and another person uses the urinal right next to you, even though they have the option not to.
When you're in someone's path and you both "dance" left and right to get out of each other's way.
When you're looking at a crowd and someone makes eye contact with you and you feel like a stalker.
When everyone around you is talking but there's a silence right when you swear and everyone looks at you.
When you set off the store alarm and everyone stares at you as if you were a criminal.
When you're in a public toilet and someone tries to open the door, even though it's locked.
When you're greeting someone with two kisses and they turn their face the wrong way and you accidentally kiss the person on the lips!
When you're at someone's home and clog their toilet.
When you're with a group of people but the sidewalk is not big enough for all of you to walk alongside each other, so you have to walk alone behind them.
When you're talking to a group of people and realize nobody is listening to what you're saying.
When you don't understand what someone is saying, ask them to repeat, and you still don't understand but pretend you do.
When you wash your hands and water splashes your crotch, and you come out of the toilet looking like an accident just happened.
When you're with friends and they start talking about a topic you know nothing about and you just stand there, unable to interact.
When you think someone is talking to you and you answer back, but they're wearing earbuds and are actually on the phone.
When you're surrounded by people and tell a joke, but no one laughs.
This can be particularly embarrassing, depending on where it happens and who witnesses it.
Coughing in public since the pandemic is a risky move if you don't want people to stare at you.
When you get distracted and lose track of the conversation but pretend you're listening anyway. But then you answer something completely different to what was asked...
When you're on a video call and the image freezes and you keep talking. Then you both realize the image froze and start talking at the same time.
When someone waves at the person behind you and you wave back, not realizing the person wasn't waving at you.
When you go shopping and get a handful of coins, bills, and a receipt at the checkout and you try to juggle it all with one hand.
When you're watching TV with your parents and a intimate scene comes on.
When you're in class and the teacher asks you a question and you don't know the answer.
When you were a child and your friend's parents started yelling at them and you just didn't know how to react.
When you're on a date and conversation stalls and you both just sit there in silence.
When your shoes make a farting sound as you walk through a quiet area and people stare at you.
When you wave or nod and smile at someone on the street and that person completely ignores you. Extra embarrassment points if someone else witnesses it.
When a person in a group is showing something on their cell phone but doesn't show you.
You know, that awkward tummy rumble in the most inconvenient situation.
When someone starts talking to you and you just can't remember the person's name.
We've all done it at some point, we can't control it when we receive a gift we don't like, but we still do it.
When you walk around all day with your zipper open and no one tells you.
