Well, this is awkward! From accidental stranger contact to being the third wheel, are these the most toe-curling photos EVER?
- MailOnline Travel has rounded up awkward scenarios from around the world
- One captures a man who has mistaken someone else's foot for a chair
- Others include people who don't seem comfortable with being the third wheel
We've all been there - stuck in a situation so awkward the mere memory prompts a shudder.
So we can only sympathize with the victims captured in these scenarios, rounded up from around the world by MailOnline Travel.
One depicts a man seemingly in church who has mistaken someone's foot for the back of a chair. Clearly in this case, the acceptable time window in which to inform him had passed.
Another captures a solo woman posing awkwardly for a photo in the pool while a couple kiss passionately in the background. The situation in this instance is further elevated when she is whacked in the face by a beach ball.
Other examples include a gentlemen demonstrating one of the most awkward leg lunges of all time as he tries to wrestle his way to the front of the bar, and a woman suffering an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
If you can make it through these photos without cringing at least once, you are a strong human indeed.
