Here are some examples of when I normally use it:
When I have to talk to strangers
When my scooter randomly hits a crack in the sidewalk and decides to stop moving
When the bus suddenly lurches forward before I can manage to either find my balance or find a seat

This is me on the bus pretty much every day |
When I meet another person on a narrow path and we're both trying to go opposite directions but we can't figure out how to get around one another and we sort of end up dancing
Or I'm talking to one friend and his girlfriend comes up when I'm in the middle of my sentence and then they're being all couple-y and cute and I don't know whether I should stand there awkwardly and wait or if I should just forget it and keep walking. Then I decide to keep walking but suddenly his girlfriend acknowledges my existence and now I'm socially obligated to make conversation but I'm standing like 10 feet in front of them so I do this:

This is me scooting backwards because I'm too awkward to turn around like a normal human being |
I call it my Awkward Noise, but to be honest, I don't really think I actually coined it. I picked it up from my equally awkward boyfriend when we started dating and it just stuck. Turns out it's just as contagious to our other friends because it tends to slip out of their mouths when they have awkward moments too. One of my friends saw me today and told me it happened to him while he was on the bus and started going on and on about how I'm so hilarious and how he's going to think of me every time he makes that noise. Then another one of my friends jumped in and started going on and on about how funny and cool I am. I was all:
and the second friend started laughing about how I can be super funny just on the fly and I don't have to plan anything...It made me feel super happy :D (<---Super Happy Face) Thank goodness for great friends that think you're cool even when you're being a total freak!!!
