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.

what did Audrey say ?

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 10:34

Hollow they’re not my friends (I recognised one) but a quick FB stalk and I know two are her FB friends so will see her tagged possibly

Ah well it’s not the first and I’m sure it won’t be the last time something like this happens

Well done you go have cake and massive boy chocolate somewhere to replace adrenaline rush- you’ve earned it

I really wish I’d taken a selfie with them in the background as a PP suggested.

Oh well. Blush

@barbaraRoyale It was a home selling / "I can make a billion pounds a day just by brushing my teeth and you can too" type post

Audrey was just popping by to offer a bit of careers advice for those who missed it earlier. Grin

namechangedbutneedadvice · 27/11/2018 10:36

Well done OP!

I second the motion to have a massive boy chocolate Grin

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 10:36

@Barbara Audrey kept harping on about Bejams having a special on turkey crowns with a pheasant and jam-roulade stuffing.

How about, 'oh 'hi', this place always makes me feel better too' then off without time for a reply

Davespecifico · 27/11/2018 10:36

Maybe she didn't see you, hasn't checked Facebook and there is no drama. Hopefully she did though.

Villanellesproudmum · 27/11/2018 10:36

Well done op!

Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhh · 27/11/2018 10:36

You are awesome OP.

spanishwife · 27/11/2018 10:37

I walked straight past them with my tits out proud like a ledge- LOL

onthenaughtystepagain · 27/11/2018 10:37

Text her with 'Hope you're feeling better, I seem to have caught the same thing.' Then make sure you wave at her on the way out.

InsomniacAnonymous · 27/11/2018 10:38

I wish you'd gone up to her and said "I'm so sorry to bother you, but can I please take your photo to show my friend because you're her double!"

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 10:38

Thank you guys for keeping me company it made the process a lot less awful xxx

I want to know what Audrey said up there^^

Missingstreetlife · 27/11/2018 10:38

Just don't be available any more. Bitch

FitzChivalryFarseer · 27/11/2018 10:39

a quick FB stalk and I know two are her FB friends so will see her tagged possibly

And more than likely she told them she was blowing you out to meet up with them. So even if she didn’t see you leaving, they did...

I reckon this is going to be a slow burner. She will currently be cringing over being caught in a lie and trying to work out how/if she can salvage things.

Doyoumind · 27/11/2018 10:40

Audrey was spamming several threads with a money making scheme. Not exciting, unfortunately.

OhioOhioOhio · 27/11/2018 10:40

Well done!

loveyoutothemoon · 27/11/2018 10:43

I think as you walked out of the door she must've said something like "oh god", looked down, and the others looked at you to see what she was oh godding at!

goatscheesepie · 27/11/2018 10:44

Well done!!

But it sucks that you had to do it in the first place.

notWORKzilla · 27/11/2018 10:44

@TaterHater Please please let us know if she messages you after this.
