This has nothing to do with the "that awkward moment" meme because this wasn't an awkward moment it was just this super awkward body thing I did today. I was walking to the store (all of three minutes, on foot, away), wearing my flip flops and tank top. Perfect weather.
I'm approaching the store, but I have to cross the street. I have two options: 1. wait until the traffic stops and I can cross (it's a small street, but with a fair amount of car traffic, especially on Saturday afternoon) but this could take up to three minutes of waiting. OR 2. At a lull in traffic going one way, dart through the cars. They usually aren't going very fast, so they all generally stop.
Option 2 is the option I usually go for, as do most of the people who live in my neighborhood. It's generally not dangerous.
