The last time we heard from Wait But Why’s Tim Urban was in One Daily Nugget issue 94, when he shared his 87-page analysis of what’s behind Elon Musk’s astonishing success. Today, he’s back with a somewhat more bite-sized analysis — this time of social interactions.

With his incisive humor, as well as his customary stick figure illustrations, Urban walks us through a list of highly awkward social situations you might be running into at any moment. Unfortunately for us, he does not provide us with a fool-proof toolkit for handling them gracefully. But we hope that heightened awareness of these situations may enable you to approach them deftly — or skirt them entirely.
