Things you can't look cool doing.

Waiting to sneeze / sneezing.

Performing taxing mental arithmetic.

Trying to get someone's attention who doesn't notice you.

Running anywhere when you aren't dressed as a 'runner'. - If you're obviously out for a run then it's not uncool, but if you're having to run somewhere in a suit then you look like a total dick.

Alan Partridge repeatedly shouting COLIN in the carpark was hilarious. Colin never noticed.

Also, calling a dog that doesn't know it's name / doesn't give a fuck about you enough to come to you

Arm wrestling (double-true if you lose)

High five-ing (double true if you miss / don't make full contact and don't get a satisfying 'slap' sound)

Having brain freeze

Apologising for something you genuinely feel really, really shitty about.

Some good ones here but a good hi 5 is always cool.

I considered amending a couple - the ones with a 'double' option can be seen by some as 'cool-if-successful', in which case they are only 'uncool' rather than 'double-uncool' if you lose your arm wrestle or miss your high-five.

Yes, and on the flipside: going for a lovely long run then not quite leaving enough left in the tank to run home and having to walk home in your running gear, dragging your heels, miserably.

Entering a drinking establishment alone, but with the intent of meeting a friend / friends and they aren't there yet, and attempting to find them by looking in every nook and cranny, pulling out your mobile etc in a great show of "I'm not a loner, I am meeting someone"...

The only way to deal with such situation is to saunter up to the bar and order a drink and wait. Desperate is not a cool look.

Solo drinking is fine as long as you look like you don't give a fuck that you're drinking alone. As soon as the mobile comes out it's all downhill.

Although I guess with smartphones now it's not so bad. You can actually amuse yourself with a phone rather than just staring at pretending you're reading a newly received text.
