My son asked my wife how come you cant be happy where you sleep? My wife asks what do you mean. He responds, well sometimes your beds are together and sometimes they are separate.

That is awkward. Not as awkward as your other post, but pretty darn awkward.

I actually heard a recommendation at a shovavim shuir once to have one big bed and one small bed precisely for this reason. Kids notice the beds moving, but they don't think to consider why you have different sized beds. . . 

By one of my Sheva Brachos’s, I’m pretty sure I called my Shver’s brother, “Totty”. (It was a whole bunch of years ago. I can’t be sure if I actually said it, but I seem to remember him giving me a look that said “???”.)

When you suddenly out of nowhere remember something that was funny and start to laugh out loud only then to realize you are in a public place. 

finally! someone understands my struggle

Switched up my kids backpacks when I sent them to camp... Whoops! Thought it was cute that they had identical bags. Oh well...

So there’s this guy in my shul who does this thing that, when he finishes a word with a vowel sound, sometimes (I highly assume subconsciously) “adds” the sound of “mm” to the end. Nothing too crazy. 
The awkward part was that he lained מגילת אסתר this year, and, at some point when the word “עמה” came up, he pulled that same schtick.
The Rav, hearing “עמם”, gives a whole “Nu! Nu!” business. The guy, having read, and said (tried to say, wtvr) “עמה”, was very confused at being “corrected” to the correct word. The Tzitzis Dude, having heard the same thing that the Rav heard, reading the same word that the guy read and knowing exactly where the miscommunication was, just had a quiet, private little laugh.

I feel like this happens all too often; you're having a conversation with someone who then suddenly gets ripped away from you by an old friend who happened to pass by and you're left sitting there not sure if your conversation is over or if you should be waiting it out. It's kinda brutal and mighty awkward if you ask me!

This happens to me as well. The last time this happened to me, I walked away. The guy called me to tell me he had more to say. When he finished I gave him an earful about making the guy he left feel unworthy

Am I the only guy trying to chap why you remembered this now?

It least it was your hand she squeezed. 
True story- A newlywed husband comes down to the kitchen and sees his wife from the back, she bent over on the counter. 
Of course he goes and gives her a nice little smack on her you know what, the women turns around and its his SHVIGGER!!!!! This really happened. This was years ago and we still laugh about it. 

Thats it, i win,. Nobody can top that awkwardness!

I’ve always thought this was an urban legend (kinda like the “Chassidish Superman” [being deliberately vague]- והמבין יבין). Nice to know it actually happened. 

A similar story:
A bochur saw someone bent over drinking from a water fountain, and promptly pushed his head in the stream of water.
The “pushee” (-“the one who was pushed”) said “I am fully מוחל you, but for your own sake, so you shouldn’t be humiliated every time you see me, you can walk away now and I’ll never know who you are.
