Last week I waved at someone who was waving at the person behind me, and then had to commit to the wave like it was always meant for a general area. I handled it fine, which is to say I thought about it in the shower for four straight days. That’s how awkward moments work — the event lasts three seconds, the replay runs for years. So it’s genuinely comforting that Twitter is full of people confessing worse. These 61 tweets are from people who also said “you too” to the waiter, and lived, barely.
