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

[TaterHater]

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.

What an exciting drama! I reckon you r best bet is to keep the fb tag and leave without being seen. Then she will have to work out what to do next.

Place marking!

Not now Audrey 😂

You better update that you've strode past and asked her how she's feeling after she was too sick to met you.

Pipe down Audrey

OP you have got BALLS overies!

Wow.

good work op! Pa entirely acceptable In this situation.

I’m supposed to be working, we’re you at OP?

Have you left the loos yet?!! I really don’t understand how people can be so rude - she could have just said I’m meeting other friends too is that ok?

Not now Audrey

I'm presuming the lack of immediate update is because something is happening .... eeeekkkk

Go OP!!!!!

☕️

I hope you aren't still stuck in the loo, OP?!

I think not now Audrey might become another classic MN phrase!!

Good work !

What a bitch , your friend not you.

I missed what Audrey said and now it's gone!!!

I did it! Pumped wih adrenaline

I walked straight past them with my tits out proud like a ledge-
I managed to open the door and not smack myself in the face-

All the while forgetting to look to see her reaction until I was outside and saw they were all looking EXCEPT for said friend.

Now to avoid any other type of confrontation I’m driving elsewhere to xmas shop.

I want to do so happily without looking over my shoulder and hearing guffaws

Hurrah.

You busy Audrey?

hahahahahahahaaa!

I would have paid for her a slice of cake and had the barista deliver to her table, when he gestured to you as the payee I would have done a queen liz style wave

Reality is I would have quietly left, checked in from the safety of outside the coffee shop, so she would see it but not me, and then probably left the town and gone elsewhere so I didn't bump into her

👏🏻👏🏻Well done - any reaction to the fb tag?!

I'd go for saying nothing at all as I went past her - easier to keep control that way. She's not much of a friend, is she?

The women she's with - are they your friends, too?

Nah no reaction

But likes

Said friend probably wasn't looking because she was just checking FB.

@TaterHater absolute hero

Fantastic OP! Hope she's squirming for the rest of the day.

Please text her tonight and asked if she enjoyed her coffee
