Instagram/TheBloggessWe’ve all done and said embarrassingly awkward things that we’ve instantly regretted – they just seem to slip out sometimes, don’t they?
Now people are taking to Twitter to let the whole world know about these awkward moments, and it’s reassuring to know that other people have gone through far more embarrassing situations than I thought possible.
According to BuzzFeed it all started with Jenny Lawson, aka @TheBloggess. She’s a popular blogger and New York Times best-selling author from America, and she got the ball rolling with an embarrassing tweet of her own.
Her followers soon started sharing their own stories, and hilarity ensued.
Here’s how it started:
Airport cashier: "Have a safe flight." Me: "You too!" I CAN NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.
