Remember the time when you thought you could secretly let out a fart, only to realize that the very moment it happened, there was a power outage and everyone around you suddenly went silent?

Or the time when you visit a public bathroom and cannot explode to your heart's content because there are people in other stalls? Or maybe the time you accidentally exploded, but refused to leave until everyone's left so no one knows it was you?

But wait, is this article about public bathrooms and farts? Of course not.

But these are some of the most common, yet weirdest situations we've all experienced at least once in our lives. Fear not, those who haven't experienced this self-dignity-crushing situation, your time shall come.

Fazry Maulana is an artist, and he speaks for all of us. He knows these common, but super-awkward situations all too well and so he used the power of comics to tell us that we're not alone.

With over 7K followers on Instagram, Maulana knows that the best way to connect with people is through what we have in common - awkward situations. There's no shortage because life enjoys trolling us.

Without further ado, let's check out Maulana's comics so we can all cry and laugh together!

1. ROFL.

This is why it's super important that you take care of business before falling asleep. It's wrong to take anyone else to the beach. LOL

2. Happens all the time.

Isn't it weird why all horrifying sounds happen only when it's dark and super silent? Or maybe that's when we hear better, but still.

There's a cupboard in my home that creaks only in the night when it's silent, but never in the morning when it's also silent. smh.

3. Eeek. This is so true.

Phones have become our top priority because it helps us remain sane. There's no sugarcoating it, I'm sorry.

4. LOL. No comments.

I have so many questions, but I have a feeling there aren't any right answers.

5. ROFL.

Coffee survivors, you need to understand that tea survivors exist. It's not a myth.

We're real people who run on tea as much as you run on coffee.

6. Resolutions are meant to be broken.

While 2017 was a great year, 2018 began wreaking havoc on people's lives and 2019 was the cherry on top. 2020 isn't recommended either.

7. This is Murphy's Law.

Isn't it weird when you spend 90% of the time together but your friends are better than you in school? We'll never know why.

8. It's all about finding the silver lining...

Whether Jon's right or wrong, at least he's having fun.

9. Sorry Squidward, not today.

Remember Ebony Maw from the Black Order in Marvel Comics? Yeah, he's not Squidward.

10. True story.

This guy gained the fat back after he ate a piece of cake. For people like us, even if we just smell cake, we gain 10kgs from out of thin air.

It's true though, it takes months to lose weight, but only a second to gain it all back with interest.

11. Uh. Thank you for the nightmare.

Thankfully this doesn't happen in real life, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in reel life. Imagine if a strand of hair pulls out a demon from a bowl of noodles, though.

Sick thought.

12. Oh. Slick dig.

Um. This one's beyond my commentary. Next, please.

In Summary...

You can't escape awkward moments of life, so instead of feeling sorry for yourself, laugh it all out. You'll most likely remember these awkward moments for eternity, but at least they won't haunt you.

Well, here's hoping that your next awkward moment won't be as bad as the ones mentioned here!
