So, this morning I am in a well known supermarket and I spot a friend further down the aisle. I trot up to him and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Hi, how's it going? (giving quick kiss on the cheek)

Him: Eh?

Me: God, it's hot isn't it, how's the new job going?

Him: Er, em, what?

Me: Well, best be off, tell Ali (his wife) I'll be in touch about that night out. take care. Bye! (followed by cheery wave).

I feel it is important to point out that within about 2 seconds of seeing this mans face properly I realised that I have never seen him before in my life. He is not the man who is married to my friend Ali, actually he didn't even look like him very much. I have no idea why I carried on my conversation rather than just say 'oh sorry I thought you were someone else'. He will think I am completely mental. Poor man.

I did something similar once in a swimming pool. Thinking it was my partner at the time I swam up to him under water, grabbed him by the leg, pulled myself up on him so that I was behind him. As I was getting ready to throw myself in front of him for a killer kiss, behind me I heard "noobydoo". Oh dear - wrong person.

In the Supermarket I was annoyed with DH for some reason. And ranted on to this man standing beside me without looking at him. You guessed. It was a complete stranger.

Megatron - that thread's about a woman barging past the OP to get to the checkout before her - you're ok!

Is it too early to call for this to be moved to classics?

Dp and I are ttc so have really been trying to spice things up in the bedroom and keep things interestings, a fortnight ago we went to morrisons and at one point I thought we were alone in an aisle and he was behind me so tried to touch him in a flirtatious, provocative way and realised to my horror that I'd tried to grope some random woman whilst asking her to not forget the broccoli!

Blush the shame!
