18th March: National Awkward Moments Day

National Awkward Moments Day is celebrated on March 18 of every year. National Awkward Moments Day is a day to celebrate the awkward and embarrassing moments that are part of our life which happens from time to time. It is fascinating to see that Awkward Moments Day is the day after Saint Patricks Day 

Awkward moments happen all the time and to some folks more than others! For anyone who’s ever wished the ground would open up and swallow them, Awkward Moments Day is a celebration of all awkward moments. From walking out of a public toilet with a loo roll on a shoe to realizing you’ve been speaking to someone every day for a year, and don’t know their name, life is full of these moments.

Turns out, humans have been awkward since the dawn of time. Some of the earliest awkward moments we could find include Isaac Newton incorrectly predicting the end of the world several times, a football team in the 1929 Rose Bowl almost running a touchdown to the wrong side of the field, and President Roosevelt accidentally running into Churchill coming out of the bath, naked!
