Sometimes you just need a good laugh, and there's nothing better than an awkward story to make you chuckle.

People in Vancouver have some seriously cringe-worthy stories about restaurant servers — and you might relate to a few.

This Vancouver Reddit thread will probably make you feel less alone in your awkwardness when it comes to interacting with servers.

If you've sworn off going to your favourite restaurant in Vancouver because of pure embarrassment, this might show you that there are far worse stories out there.

Some of the responses in the Reddit thread are wild — and great for a laugh.

At the end of the day, servers are usually strangers, so sometimes you might not pick up on their sense of humour — making for a painfully awkward moment.
