Liam Butler’s Cards for Socially Awkward Situations are the resource you didn’t know you needed

Everybody has that situation in which they feel ill-equipped to handle social expectations; for some, it’s meeting dignitaries, blind dates or being introduced to their partner’s family, while other unlucky souls feel equally socially anxious about paying the window cleaner.

The reliably funny and entertaining Liam Butler has come up with a way to avoid having to explain the turmoil, with a set of cards for some of the worst socially awkward situations you may encounter.

Should you pay a compliment?

How often is it acceptable to say “Pardon?”

That damned water pressure

If only those comebacks had come earlier

They should make people wear name tags – all the time

This one works for parties, interviews, casual conversations in shops …

In particular, we’d very much be on board with this idea.
