Jesus sure didn't mind making things awkward! Invited to a meal where it was almost certain that people would have been looking to sit in the place of honor, he talks about the futility of doing so. It's interesting to think about the host, a Pharisee, quietly going around telling people to move somewhere else, and Jesus calling out the action as an indication of a heart not tuned to the ways of Jesus. Do you think he ever got invited back?
