34 Everyday Encounters That Will Always Be Excruciatingly Awkward

30. When People Pretend Like You Don't Exist

There is nothing worse than being ignored but when it happens a few times during the day, you're ready to shout "I'm a real boy" and punch a few people right in the chops. It can happen on the netball court and you've just won the game so you put your hand out for a full team high five and everyone seems to miss you out despite the fact that your hand is RIGHT THERE. Just slap it, for the love of everything that is good in this world, just high five my hand. It also happens when you're out shopping and people decide that the smallest aisle in the world is the best place to stand and have a chat. No matter how many times you say "excuse me, please" they just don't move. It's not until you shout at them with some spit dangling from your jaw and you've turned green that they eventually disperse and you're annoyed about having to use your angry voice.
