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.

Sorry to miss this question

Yes she and I had not been friends for too long (4 years) but I had considered her and I good enough friends that if she’d told me she had double booked and needed to honour that invite as it was before mine I would’ve been ok with that.

I don’t like liars and I still feel slighted but hey ho

Well done OP, stuff her! No need for lying, the cow

Surpriseitsme · 27/11/2018 14:11

Not now Grace.

RibbonAurora · 27/11/2018 14:17

I'm a tad disappointed you didn't go full fb pa and add 'You know who you are." And then do that pointing two fingers at your eyes and back at her thing as you made your grand exit. Other than that I bow to your ledge-like tits.

BumbleBeee69 · 27/11/2018 14:17

Jeepers OP I have misunderstood your original post, I thought YOU had cancelled feeling unwell, and found yourself out and about. I'm so sorry OP and I'm glad you have waltzed through this dramaHmm unscathed GrinGrinFlowers

WobbleTime · 27/11/2018 14:24

You sound brilliant OP. I’d have coffee with you any day.
Tits out like a ledge. I’m going to do that later Smile

Inertia · 27/11/2018 14:25

I'm wondering about the ledge- were they like a window-ledge, or did you mean ledge as in legend?

Kittykat93 · 27/11/2018 14:30

I hate things like this. What a knob. Hope she feels deservedly ashamed now

FreezerBird · 27/11/2018 14:38

Clarification has been sought on this point. The OP remains coy.

RyderWhiteSwan · 27/11/2018 14:40

You sound like a fabulous ledge titted friend to have and the loss is all hers

Mummyoflittledragon · 27/11/2018 14:52

This is hilarious. You did so well! 👏👏

Tinkobell · 27/11/2018 15:00

I bet you she will come back and say that she was just limping out to pick up much-needed prescription and got accosted (against her wishes) by the two other friends .....things were not as they appeared and she was just trying to spare you the illness but you leaped to the wrong conclusions ....I BET you she'll twist it OP.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 27/11/2018 15:04

Excellent work OP. You are indeed a "ledge".

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By."

Seriously, what were the chances??

WendyWoofer · 27/11/2018 15:08

I'm in no way a confrontational person. I would rather hide than confront. But in this case I would have had to let "friend" know I had seen her (and taken a pic, in case I needed it at a later date).

OP your friend is the very reason I prefer to have no friends. Friends always let us down - sooner or later.

I'm not sure why you have blocked your "friend" on FB, after tagging her. Dont you want her to see that you've seen her for the snake she is?

StripySocksAndDocs · 27/11/2018 15:10

Ah TaterHater I'm so proud of you. Okay so I don't actually know you, but if I did I certainly would be.

MulticolourMophead · 27/11/2018 15:21

I'm late to the thread but we'll done OP.

I'd find it hard to do or say anything and despise myself for it afterwards.

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 27/11/2018 15:55

Hahaa

Well Done OP .

The Mirror have picked up your story 🙈

Woman 'trapped' in café after spotting 'poorly' friend out with other friends

The Mirror has managed to get it wrong as well - it wasn’t the same cafe. The journalist can’t even do basic comprehension.

Errrrrr incorrect on many levels

The Mirror of all rags not mentioning tits?

And it was a DIFFERENT coffee shop in a DIFFERENT town

🤦‍♀️

I cannot believe they used my thread. Shock

I need you in my life, OP Grin

You rock!

AlexaAmbidextra · 27/11/2018 16:10

how on earth do you manage to fall flat on your minge?

Perhaps she thrusts her minge out like a ledge just like her tits. 😂

CuriousaboutSamphire · 27/11/2018 16:11

Oh! You have to fb that, just a like, perhaps Grin
