Trapped in a coffee shop because I’m being too British (LH)

I got a text this morning from a friend saying she was unwell and could we change our coffee date for tomorrow (no I’m working) but anyway- reply in the usual manner one does.

I decided to come into town and have a browse but coffee first- I grabbed my order and sat down and said unwell friend is in with a couple of friends and they’ve sat down. She hasn’t seen me yet.

I’m actually rooted to my seat and wondering how to get out without putting a bag on my head- no wait- I shouldn’t be embarrassed she should !

Every fibre of my being says sit and sip the coffee slowly and hope they get out fast or paper bag option.

Not now Kate.

alltoomuchrightnow · 27/11/2018 13:21

Kate, your brother had a sex change?

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 27/11/2018 13:21

Fuck sake Kate

FreezerBird · 27/11/2018 13:22

OP, when you say you had your tits out like a ledge, do you mean you were acting like a legend (I mean, obviously, you were), or that your tits are in fact like a ledge - you know, that you can put things on?

I just need to get my mental image straight...

shush Kate.

SheCameFromGreeceSheHadaThirst · 27/11/2018 13:23

What's with all the fucking spambots today?

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 13:24

Freezerbird- it’s funnier to me if I don’t clarify I think 😂

Is she a good friend? How nasty (her not you!)

dontalltalkatonce · 27/11/2018 13:29

Good for you, Tater! You don't deserve to be treated like this. A true friend would have been honest. I'd have told the other friends, 'Sorry, have another commitment, how about lunch/dinner?'

I'm in my 50s now and stopped putting up with people like this a while back.

Nanalisa60 · 27/11/2018 13:35

Text her and say u are at her front door and could she open it as you have flowers 💐 for her to cheer her up!!

MamaLovesMango · 27/11/2018 13:36

Aw no don’t cry about it Tater. I’ve held on to many a friendship longer than I should’ve done and always wishes I fucked them off sooner.

Polkapjs · 27/11/2018 13:37

Can you not message her and say “disappointed to see you in the coffee shop today when you said you were poorly. It’s fine to say you had double booked. Just don’t make me feel foolish “
I’d be the same but raging inside

Nanalisa60 · 27/11/2018 13:37

Wait for the reply then send a photo of herself with her new friends!!

mumof2sarah · 27/11/2018 13:41

@FreezerBird I now imagine OP sitting in her high backed chair, coffee cup on her ledge straw to drink through ha ha x

Reallybadidea · 27/11/2018 13:42

I'm curious about the deleted messages. Why would someone be nasty on a thread like this? How weird.

Spudlet · 27/11/2018 13:43

They were spambots - you can earn ninety gajillion pounds an hour by posting spammy shite all over the place, or some such bullshit.

mummmy2017 · 27/11/2018 13:44

Your my heroine for today...
You rule.

Polkapjs · 27/11/2018 13:45

I want to know if she’s a friend you thought you’d be good friends with for a long time as if a good friend I’d be even more gutted

GRACE!

You are not a ledge. Tits out or not.

RebootYourEngine · 27/11/2018 13:52

Who does that? Good on you OP for not being a pushover.

Weathermonger · 27/11/2018 13:54

I'm late to the party. You are hilarious OP. I hope you enjoyed your day of shopping. No one need "friends" like that.

LimitIsUp · 27/11/2018 13:59

I do so want to hear the friend's explanation. Surely she will have to respond in some way

GinandGingerBeer · 27/11/2018 14:00

Well it's her bloody loss Thanks
You sound like a fabulous ledge titted friend to have and the loss is all hers.
