Times Square is a black hole. It sucks you in and won't let you go until you're stripped of all patience and money. Oh, and all of your happiness.

There are few words that can sum up the uncomfortable experience of venturing there, when in-town family or even friends ask to go there.

So, we've put together 7 awkward things that can do the talking for us.

1. Anna Kendrick, and our initial reaction

Wait...where am I? How did I get here? WHY am I here? Is everything okay? I don't think so. Something's wrong. I'm scared.

2. These “chickens,” and tourists

Tourists! They're everywhere! And they don't know when to shut up, either!

3. Porta-potties, and the smell

We'll let you figure out the connection here. Hint: there's more than one.

4. This sobering situation, and people who want their picture taken

Do you really need me to take your picture with Elmo?

I don't really know you. I'd rather not. Especially because I know I look like I belong in a barn right now.

5. This waspy girl, and when any costumed character waves at us

Don't you look at me with those lifeless eyes! I know what you want. Stop waving at me. You can't have my soul. Or a picture!

6. This kid, and trying to go cope with everything around you

Just let me be. I'm a ball of anger right now, so just leave me here and come get me when you're ready to go. I may kick your ass later, though.

7. Jessie J, and our cries for help

We're dying inside. Screaming and crying for help. But there's nothing we can do. Except wait. It might cause a stir if we started screaming in the middle of everything.
