Jenny Lawson is known as “The Bloggess.” She is a very popular blogger, bestselling author, and a favorite on Twitter.
And Lawson, like so many others these days, is now sharing her awkward moments on social media so everyone can enjoy them and cringe along in sympathy.
On Sunday, Lawson posted this shortly after booking a flight:
Airport cashier: "Have a safe flight." Me: "You too!" I CAN NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.

So Lawson’s followers then decided they would open up with their own dark and awkward moments and share them with everyone else. Check these out:
