The above picture is a prime example of the awkward face. It’s free of charge, available at any time, and can be used in multiple social situations. Here I will list a few of the ways you can use your awkward face to it’s fullest potential.

1. Getting out of an uncomfortable situation. Is an old man hitting on you on the subway? Does your grandma want you to watch her model her new thong? No worries, the awkward face will save you! Just slap that expression on and soon you’ll be in the clear!
2. Getting people to stop talking to you. Tired of the way too peppy cheerleader yapping her head off at you? The awkward face is your savior. Not only does is frighten people into shutting up, it also makes them never want to talk to you again!
3. Scaring small children. If you’re looking to scare small children then this is your key. Just hide behind some cushions or under a bed and then play the waiting game. Once the target is near jump out with your handy awkward face on and make a frightening noise and they will run screaming!
4. Getting to the front of lines. Stroll past other patrons in line without worry. If someone says something just shoot them the awkward face! It’s a sure thing. 
5. Making Money. With a face so awkward a Hollywood agent is bound to notice you. You may even be in the next major motion picture!

Congratulations! You’ve just learned some of the many ways to use your awkward face. Now go out into the world and show it off!
WARNING: KEEPING YOUR FACE IN THE AWKWARD POSITION FOR TOO LONG MAY RESULT IN YOUR FACE STAYING THAT WAY. USE WITH CAUTION.
