Hmmmm....well....I guess it could have been worse?...

Finding out a fourteen year old girl is pregnant and hasn't told her family. I'm thinking I'm legally obligated to tell someone, but how, and do I tell the girl that I know and that I told?

10. When you take a tampon out of you purse, placing it on your desk for ONE SECOND while you put you purse back in your desk drawer while one of your associates comes in (without knocking), takes one look at the tampon and says, "Oh, that's explains your mood today".

I love the nickname. I will call you that from now on.

MWA: Yes. That's awkward.

Kat: You pick.

Natalie: Um... yeah.

Sandy: That qualifies as awkward.

Laura: A tool indeed.

Frank and Mary: Oh dear god. Not good.

Myster G: You are a little deviant, aren't you...

Moonspun: It's a unique one.

Kristina: HA! Nice.

Employee No 3699: I honestly have no idea.

HBP: Something like that, yeah.

SPD: Interesting.

NFTG: Yeah, a name like that does lead to some thoughts.

Golublog: I just tried to pretend like he hadn't said it, the first time. Every other time, I winced.

WMDR: No. Not as endearing at all.

FTLOP: I wouldn't be able to look her in the eye ever again.

Lilu: True enough.

Mrs Soup: Supervisors and/or bosses should never ask about sex. Ever.

Aunt Becky: You know it.

JennyMac: You're right!

Sams Mama: I barely knew him at all. The nickname came about just after he was hired. I guess he just assumed.

Kathy Garmus: The word is a little awkward looking, isn't it.

WOS: There really isn't more to this story. I'm pretty sure I'd still be in therapy if there was.

Debbie: Good! I'm glad. =)

"for some reason"!?
i think there must be more to this story than you are letting on!

just as long as your ex-boss didn't see you shoot... now that would be awkward!

If I overheard someone being called Big Shooter, I'd just assume he had an awesome 3-point shot. But I always was a little naive. There are some really excellent new definitions here. And I'd just like to mention that I've always thought the word awkward, more than any other word I can think of, kind of visually represents its meaning. It's just an awkward-looking word.

2009-08-05T18:11:40.320-04:00

How about when the guy you've been dating for about an hour stumbles across your 3 year old playing with your vibrator?

Or when the mother of an ex has too much too drink and starts telling you how uninterested in sex she is? And how dry she is?

And I'm really curious at to how this nickname came about. Just how close were you and your boss?

Big Shooter? You take the BAD ASS in Bad Ass Geek out of the stratosphere when you are also being called Big Shooter.

Dude. That is highly awkward.

Discussing whether or not to send chats of a sexual nature home to your wife by your supervisor.

The world is better with crusty and perverse 50 year old men.

They say everything I WANT to say, but can't.

How about 13). When your boss decides that you are the right person for her to talk to about the sensual massage oils and edible chocolate body paints that she bought to surprise her husband with for their anniversary.

Yeah. Awkward turtle indeed.

2009-08-05T10:45:39.735-04:00

Awkward. Or....compliment?

If it's any consolation my boss calls me 'loser' quite often. Not as endearing. And 'Abby' when she's in a good mood (NCIS).

Oh my god I would just melt into a puddle and die. I have no handling ability with awkward situations.

2009-08-05T10:28:42.740-04:00

I had a nickname in college: Spooner. It didn't have any sexual story behind it, but I think it's safe to assume people thought otherwise.

2009-08-05T10:08:06.514-04:00

Ouch.

My last boss used to refer to me by my surname, even in emails to head office. It almost became a verb. "I'll get him to do a Newbold."

Big Shooter is an awesome nickname! - it emphasises size and sexual potency - you should be proud!

@FrankandMary - That has happened to me!

10.) Having the husband of the woman you are seeing try to set you up with his sister as he thinks you're a good bloke.

11.) Phoning all your ex-partners to tell them to go for STD checks.

12.) Getting caught having sex at your workplace by your boss.

I could go on forever.
