When you’re in the middle seat on the plane and you don’t want to wake up the lady next to you but you REALLY need the bathroom but you dont even know HOW to wake her up and you wish that you would had the guts to ask to switch seats but you were afraid of making a stink and whatever and you REALLY need the bathroom and then she wakes up and goes to use the bathroom and you’re waiting in the aisle and trying not to dance until the dratted lady gets out.

Poke her with your meal tray or something. Mstama that's muttar and also not weird.
We are not the same people we once were. We are not so locked into our urges that we have no choice. We can choose to give in or choose to win this battle today. We do not want to give in, the pleasure of giving in is false. 
With Hashem on our side our victory is inevitable; the only way we can lose is by giving up on playing the game.

When you dance with someone in the middle of the circle at a chsunah, being usure when to end the awkward shuffling, and suddenly remember to adjust your head gear hoping they find someone else to dance with in the interim.

Or when you finally get in to dance with the chosson and they suddenly decide to slow down the music so no one is dancing anymore but just jumping up and down..happened to me too many times

I love your posts on this thread, tzitzis dude. I have made a bracha by urchatz before, but I didn't this year. What I did--embarrassingly--do this morning is make a bracha on my tefillin shel yad even though my practice is to refrain from making brochos on my tefillin during Chol HaMoed.

And just for good measure let me add this one...

Who else has sleepily put on your tallis on Shabbos/Yontif morning and then instinctively taken your arm out of your sleeve as if you are readying yourself to put on your tefillin? How do you get out of that one? Scratch your arm incessantly to make it appear that that's why you uncovered your arm? I don't know. Painful...

The only solution is to take the other arm out, remove the jacket for at least 5-10 minutes and suffer the consequences. 
I know it sounds rough, but what are your options, to bear the בושה?

Way too often, when I’m davening שמונה עשרה with the chazan as he does חזרת הש״ץ, when we get up מודים, I just do the מודים דרבנן along with the ציבור. 
That’s when I give the ultra casual cough and transition back to the regular מודים.

Often, when davening on autopilot (and there's a glitch in the system), when I reach מודים, I find myself taking three steps back and go, "Oops, oh well, I guess it was bashert."
That's when I do an ultra-casual prance out of the room.
We get only one chance at life.
This is not a rehearsal; it's the real thing.

Father, help me live sober Today.
