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

As an intrepid young fresher, I went to the Hellenic Society meeting thinking it was some subversive satanist / occult type thing.

I accidentally joined a two hour children’s dance workshop once. I thought it was all age. Literally spent the first hour leaping across a village hall while their parents looked at me bemusedly, then in the break I made a run for it 😂

Surely once the OP saw it was a room full of young children they would have left immediately rather than be paired with a 7 year old.

Oh FFS! This thread is hilarious. Take that stick out of your arse and jog on.

I went to an 'easy aerobics' class once - except it should have been called 'armchair aerobics'
I was the youngest by a good 60 years (but not the fittest Blush)

Shaking with mirth at this

For ( far) too long I thought spinning classes were where you spun round in circles, could never see why you would want to do that.

For many years, during the early Playstation era, I thought playstations were something to do with train sets, as in train station/ playstation? It was only when I remarked to my friend that her dh didn't seem a train set type of person when we were discussing Playstations that the penny dropped.

I’m giggling away at some of these. The spinning wheel and the fleece did me in as did OP’s braggy 7 year old partner 😂

3 years ago there was a disco organised by a local kids party company that was advertised as being an "LOL Doll Disco". My son and I enjoyed our wee collection of the mini evil plastic fuckers and loved the YouTube videos (we even made our own), I spent 20 quid on tickets for this disco in a local football club because he loves running around with the other kids and dancing to pop songs, he loves all the glow in the dark stuff and the sweety table etc so we were both chuffed to be going as we didn't get out much (I have horrendous anxiety). We turned up on the evening and the female attendees decided to tell us repeatedly that it was an LOL Doll disco, didn't we know? And their parents were giggling and sniggering. The posters didn't say it was female only but it clearly was. We stayed anyway and my son didn't care but I felt like a dickhead.

So I'm at the Wailing Wall, looking like an idiot with my harpoon.

I did this. I booked into a street dance class. Turns out everyone else realised it was for kids except me. I still did it, while trying not to kick toddlers in the head (their fault, I was following the steps, they were running around aimlessly).

I spin wool too. I must admit that before joining a group I did check very carefully that it was the right sort of spinning.

Many years ago I was at a disco ( that alone ages me😁). I was standing by the side of the dance floor kinda moving to the beat when a guy appeared and beckoned me to join him. Off I went giving it my best Pans People and it wasn't until after I did a particularly lavish twirl that I noticed a woman giving me evils. Turns out it was his wife and it was her he had been beckoning ...not me. I wanted the ground to swallow me . I still cringe whenever I think of it and wonder why he didn't put me right immediately.

Brilliant 🤣
