Omg genuinely just done the most embarrassing thing ever...

[Pinkbourbon7]

So I ended up going to a skills class...that it turns out, was for children.

Seriously I was like 'I think this might be a safe guarding issue'. And they were like 'nah, it's fine'.
And then they take me aside later on like 'actually this class - is just for kids! We've refunded you'.

So ive went back on to look at the advert and it's like

• all ages welcome (kids grouped into separate age classes).

And I read that as kids will be seperate but what it actually meant was, the kids will be seperated into groups based on age.

Literally going to have to move town now aren't I? xD

Sending you a virtual hug! I would have done the same. We've all been there x

Just awful, hoping they don't think I was some sort of weird pervert or something xD
...pretty sure they absolutely do haha.

What's a skills class and why was it a safeguarding issue?

I once joined my first Pilates class aged about 23, thought 'this is easy, I must be a natural at Pilates!'
The instructor came up to me afterward and let me know it was a pensioners group with modified exercises and they were all wondering what I was doing there.
I later went to the proper class and found it much harder!

🙄 It was a proper class - just not aimed at your age group.

Oh god poor you! Could you emigrate to another country? 🤣🤣

I once went to en English class. I thought it was for writing but it was for immigrant ladies learning English from scratch 😳

Won't say the class as its a bit too identifying but the instructors would have had to take disclosures ect to be working in close proximity with kids presumably.

So if there's another adult in the class that hasn't then...I mean, I could be anyone.

I think that wording is very unclear and I can see how you got the wrong idea. It’s the wording on the advertisement that is the issue, not your comprehension.

To be fair, the seven year old who partnered with me at one point was very vocal about how rich she was. Maybe she could help me escape on her private jet or something xD

This has brightened up my dinner break , cheers op !

Partnered with a 7 year old 😂😂😂

🤣, so funny.....partnered with a 7 year old !
Is she now your BFF?
It will pass, op, it will pass.

That is hilarious 😂😂😂😂

The advert worded it really poorly to be fair

She was was lovely wee soul. Wisdom beyond her years. Though still at that wonderful age where sticking a pen up her nose 'seemed like a good idea at the time'. But then, who am I to judge. I just attended a skill class for children xD

I mean it was a 150 quid course too. Must be an awful lot of well-off parents I the area to be sending their kids on that.

(I also lent her the pen)
😬🤭

My friend once turned up at a Spin class at her local leisure centre with her actual spinning wheel and some sheep's fleece 😅

The wording is really unclear on the advert. Bet the next advert is worded differently!

The spinning wheel thing is priceless!

Oh that's brilliant, but I there's so much fantastic stuff offered for kids, that I think I'd like to do half of the kids too.

Hahaha, I’m cackling OP. If it helps, when I was at school I sat in the wrong classroom for an hour and didn’t notice. Different kids, different teacher, different room. I was 15.

Just reading through it and noticed it does have 'summer school' written at one point so I probably should have noticed that xD But I mean, the 'all ages welcome' bit would probably still have thrown me.

Probably my own fault for googling local things to do after the second glass of wine.

Haha well they can't say she didn't come prepared... for something at least.

That made me laugh out loud. The 7 year old you were partnered with!

My kids did an animation course last summer; mix of all computer animation and also stop capture stuff with action figures. It was for kids; the advert said ages 8 to 12. An adult had booked it for themselves and was allowed to stay for the whole summer course! It was meant to be fun for the kids but they had an adult pushing in and dominating the questions etc.
