To lighten the mood around here please enjoy a thread of some of my most socially awkward tales.
Maybe self isolation isn't that bad a thing for me after all. https://twitter.com/_larajackson/status/1239643729058844685?s=19

It was my friends birthday and he was having a big party at his. I was meeting his mum for the first time and she went for that hug/kiss on the cheeks thing that parents do.
I didn't fully get what way she was going... So in the confusion I accidentally headbutted her...

When I was an extra in the IT Crowd I ended up taking a photo for most of the other extras with Richard Ayoade and Chris O Dowd.
They didnt have time for any more photos after that and quickly got whisked away...

At Gamescom last year I somehow ended up in a VIP area for opening night but there were no seats.
Oh well. I'll sit on the stairs in the area as it was good for photos of the event. I left my phone on the stair in between shots.
All of a sudden my phone wasn't there (1)

As I had tried to pick it up I had accidentally pushed it to the back.
That's fine right? I'll just grab it from the back of it
That would've been the answer if the stairs had a back.
They didn't. Instead the stairs had no back. They just had a straight drop to the floor (2)

Again this would've been fine but there was a show going on and the area I was in was surrounded by wraps keeping the underneath of the stage hidden.
Cue a very awkward conversation with German security trying to explain the situation. This went on for about 5 minutes (3)

They disappeared and returned with someone working the show on tech that spoke English. I explained the situation and showed them where it was.
They lifted the wrap, grabbed my phone and gave it to me shaking their head unimpressed (the phone didn't have a scratch on it though!)

During the end of middle school I got convinced to perform a rap to Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" in our leaving assembly.
I didn't write the lyrics and words were changed to "why must I leave this school, if must be the honeys".
It's still one of the worst things I've ever done.
