Can You Laugh Your Way Out of an Awkward Moment?
You wave at the wrong person or forget a familiar name. Sometimes a small joke makes the moment easier; sometimes you would rather correct it and move on.
Think about minor, harmless mistakes with people who are comfortable with you. Serious apologies and situations where someone is upset are outside this quiz. Answer for what you usually do, not what would sound funniest.
