That Awkward moment when you've already felt alienated in a group of conversationalists for asking the speaker of the moment,... "What?" three times over, and you still have no idea what he has said so you just agree with him to save face, and the rest of the group looks quickly your direction and quietly grimaces with raised eyebrows, Followed by an in -ordinate amount of pause. Then, someone walks by and says "hello" and quickened with shame from the original conversation you quickly turn to this new person and say " good thank you." catching what you did post event and even more in ordinate pause screams at you.
