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.

Send her a text 'The weirdest thing just happened - do you have a long lost twin?! I was in a coffee shop in X just now and say someone who looked exactly like you!'

Well done Op. FWIW she will be cringing about this for weeks.

Well done op
And your thread and not now Audrey got more laughs than you’d have had with friend (who lies)
Good work

CoraPirbright · 27/11/2018 10:48

I doubt you will hear from her again. I mean, what can she say? “Oh sorry I blew you out for coffee but I got a better offer so lied through my teeth to you”. She did get horribly busted though!! Grin. Sorry that you had to go through that though, OP. Not nice to find out someone is so unpleasant.

Doyoumind · 27/11/2018 10:48

Ebony must be Audrey's sister.

BarbaraRoyale · 27/11/2018 10:49

eeek , just a thought TaterHater , what happens if they have had the same thought as you and gone to the next town to shop to avoid bumping in to you ?

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 27/11/2018 10:49

You are a legend. Enjoy the shopping.

PuppyMonkey · 27/11/2018 10:49

Not now Ebony. Grin

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 10:50

Me and Ebony are drinking Boy Chocolates and planning to take over and rule the world Wink

with my tits out proud like a ledge Grin

Well done OP.

ElevenSmiles · 27/11/2018 10:52

Well done op, hope there's going to be a part 2.

purplelass · 27/11/2018 10:54

I walked straight past them with my tits out

You did WHAT??? Shock

SingaporeSlinky · 27/11/2018 10:56

Well done for Fb tagging her. You’d have kicked yourself later if you’d just hid, you’d be thinking of all the things you could have said or done.
If they were all looking except for her, PP is right, she’ll have been saying “oh crap” and they’ve all looked to see what was up. You must let us know if she texts you!

empmalswa · 27/11/2018 10:58

OMG image of the OP full on swinging her uncovered tits about the coffee shop Grin

Hoppinggreen · 27/11/2018 10:59

Are you both on FB?
If so check yourself in - and tag her!

ohfourfoxache · 27/11/2018 10:59

What a cow Shock

I wouldn’t be wasting any more time on her

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 11:00

Nope Eleven- I’ve blocked her on SM Smile

Her FRIEND has liked the FB post.

Fuck them all.

Excuse the language.

Treat people nicely - not hard.

Urbanbeetler · 27/11/2018 11:00

You sound warm and funny. She sounds like a lying fool.

Oopsy41 · 27/11/2018 11:00

I would absolutely text her to see how she's feeling,see if she lies

TaterHater · 27/11/2018 11:02

Purplelass

I walked past them with my shoulders back and my chest proud.

Teeth and tits out is a saying here-

Doesn’t mean nudity and dentures in a jar. Apologies for any misunderstanding
