To want to shout 'It is blatantly obvious you're having an affair' to the couple opposite me on the train

[BoysofMelody]

And if I've figured it out within 20 minutes of sitting opposite you on a train, with all the furtive hand touching and stolen glances, your work colleagues will almost certainly know you're carrying on. Get better at being discrete or keep it in your pants.

On the plus side, I forgot to bring my book with me and watching this play out is terrific entertainment.

You would be amazed how many people in offices never work out who is having an affair with who.

Op have you been reading to many naughty books last night 😂

Who cares?!

I think it's all very entertaining but FFS!! Get a life!

Who cares?!

Say the posters commenting 40-odd hours after the event.

Op have you been reading to many naughty books last night

If I had, it would be the most fucking boring naughty book ever.

God this thread is so fucking creepy!

I keep forgetting we live in a day and age now where you could be quite innocently sitting on public transport/in the park/wherever and a complete stranger is discussing you with other complete strangers on the internet.

Horrible thought.

I can't stand the snarky comments!

Anyway, I'd have to get up an move, they'd annoy me, with their love, me being so loveless.

It could have been their honeymoon or a shag night away

I wear my engagement ring, Mr Elbows wears no ring at all. We have been together 20 years and are no less married for the absence of metal. We also quite like each other and regularly hold hands and do flirty things apparently only people who are having affairs do. Odd.

I overheard a phone conversation on a bus once (well, me and the other 40 odd passengers) where this woman was telling her mate about how she'd slept with Big John (not to be confused with Big Dick John up thread) and how she preferred him to Little John and she didn't know whether to dump Little John or to carry on seeing both Johns for a bit. I did have my book with me, but I read the same sentence over and over again, the conversation was absolutely riveting. And presumably the woman had no idea if any of the passengers knew either of the Johns. I never saw her again so I never found out which John she chose in the end.

This is hilarious, wonder what they'd think if they knew so many random people were so invested in their possible extramarital shenanigans?

OH and I sneaked out for a surreptitious meal out a few weeks back, as the kids were both off doing other things.
Whilst he had popped to either the loo or the bar, the wee waitress stopped by our table and said "Is this your first date? I think he really likes you!" I just grinned & replied " really? Do you think so?" Rather than "No hen, we're old farts and have kids older than you"

OP, you must take the same train for the next few weeks, to see if it's a regular fling!

Slightly off topic but I had a friend who was having an affair with a married man.
He used to buy her kit kats and request safe return them to him after she'd inserted them into herself and out.... so I hope you at least saw the kit Kat being eaten
And yes office affairs are very easy to spot, fun to watch and a nightmare to be in!

She return them not safe.
Hate auto correct assuming what I want to say!!

useristired - I obviously have an innocent mind, because I can't understand why he would like that?

It could have been their honeymoon or a shag night away

In office clothes, on a train that departed before 7am on a Wednesday?

A friend of yours was it @useristired

Kit kat was eaten in front of my eyes, having gone nowhere other than the eater's mouth.

Reassuring to hear Boys.

Well, that's good to know

Margot I burst out laughing at your story! Maybe she was disgusted by your PDA and found the perfect way of dousing your ardour?! Myself and OH met at work (both single). We wanted to keep it quiet in the beginning and thought we were so discrete. We really, really were not. EVERYONE knew.

DP and I met at work.. we thought we were being subtle slipping off to a nearby garden to hang out together at lunch etc. when one day he got a call from the Director of HR pointing out that the boardroom on the top floor of the building (where all the head bods were) looked straight out over this particular garden, and perhaps we didn't realise that!

I promise it was a friend.. she really used to return a slightly soggy kit Kat for him to smell and eat .
We were only about 23.. he was older and considered himself to be quite kinky. Looking back he was very odd!!

Tinkly what did your respective other halves say when the gipsy said that?

Ooo I feel quite smug now. I met XP at work and after 6 months he moved in, after a year I got pregnant and at the traditional announcement, we were absolutely amazed that most people at work still hadn't twigged we were a couple!!
I think it helped that we went to work in separate cars as I had a nursery drop off to do with my eldest DD.
The only comment I can remember was that someone pointed out that XP's car still had frost on it, which had he come the 30 miles from where he used to live, wouldn't have been there. But got fobbed off with a 'I stayed locally last night'

Ugh I feel sick now having read this, I've just eaten a KitKat and now wish I'd picked the ToffeeCrisp. [Can't find emoji for a barf]

By the wayuseristired was it a four-finger one or a chunky?
