Faux pas of the weekend - no 2.
15 Answers
I had just got back from a precariously tricky journey from Lincoln in the dark. Making my sarnies for the next day, a face appeared at the back door. It knocked. I screamed. It said "It's only John from next door..." He'd brought a parcel for me his missus had took in from postie. Red-faced, I apologised for scaring him - I said "I'm not used to people coming in my back entrance." He left, laughing, but red-faced.
Sunday evening, another neighbour, let's call him Al, shouted out to me that he was going to do some outdoor drilling. I hadn't seen him, so him shouting my name made me jump. He apologised - I answered "It's ok - at least you didn't make me scream like John did the other night........."

My mum walked in to the house with the shopping one day and one of the cats had made a mess on the floor... My mum announced at the top of her voice (which is pretty loud when she's speaking naturally) 'you effing black bar stewards'.... My sister was mortified.
And around your way too barmaid - I was in the Moorhen on Friday afternoon, waiting for the BF to arrive. There was a works do - an ageing rock-star-ish person with long grey straggly hair, leather jacket & man boobs sauntered up to me at the bar and said "Oi love, brace yourself.... I hope you've got some vaseline cos you & me are going to have a rough passage tonight...."

(I told him I only used KY). ;-)

I was too shocked ttfn. I didnt want to laugh in case he mistook that for encouragement or assent. Luckily he sauntered off, swaggering (or staggering) with all his workmates in hysterics - maybe he'd been trying that line on loads of people. I hope for his sake he didn't try it out on a fella..... ;-)
