I shook his bloody hand

[costacostsalot]

There's a man I see all the time, we don't know each other.
I went to coffee shop with my son and he was there with his children, we were sitting near each other so started having a chat. We was having a lovely conversation about the summer holidays, the weather, the children and nothing flirty, just a chit chat. I realised the time and needed to head off. For some unknown reason I got up, leant over and shook his bloody hand!!!!!
Why????? I have no idea where it came from!!! Aibu to just avoid him forever, it's weird isn't it and he's going to think I'm odd 😐😐

@TheToldYouSoDance that's hilarious 😂

@Croquembou

am blushing-that was accidental but rather hilarious

Was he hot?
Amusing thread!

Years ago, I texted my boss instead of my DP. Was on my way to meet my boss, and sent “Hope you’ve had a good day. Can’t wait to see you later xx”

I think the handshake is fine. The man will think you’re friendly. At least you didn’t hug him.

Cute guy at the post office gave me a double thumbs up, then cringed, and I think I had a pitying rueful on my face

I think this is my favourite thread ever, OP. Thanks for shaking his hand, and starting this 😂

When my husband and I were going away for a v rare child free weekend we bumped into a guy he worked with and his wife as we were about to set off.
He was a bit intimidating and made me a bit nervous. Anyway my husband was explaining where we were going and for some reason that I will never understand I actually blurted out " what a shame you are not coming with us . That wouldve been lovely! ".
We barely knew them ! I was so mortified and I am still cringing thinking about it now!

Me and DP have had this conversation before. If two couples meet up, the men shake hands but are expected to hug the women, maybe a kiss on the cheek. Why one rule for women and another for men? It's terribly unmodern! I spent some time in France when I was younger and everyone hugs and kisses everyone!

I do not think it is weird or odd at all. In lots of countries people greet each other in lovely ways all the time. So a handshake is fine.

I once kissed our postman on both cheeks when he delivered a parcel I was urgently waiting for!!! No bloody idea why. It was 23rd December and a major present I was waiting to arrive for DC’s Santa gift. Totally mortifying afterwards, but I was just so happy at the time haha.

I’m sure he now thinks I’m the racy blonde at number 32! 😂

That's funny lol. Something to laugh about when you're married 😜😜.

It reminded me of when I worked in a nursery. I opened the door to a parent and saw they were holding a pack of nappies. I reached my hand out to take them and said parent shook it 🤣🤣. He then apologised and seemed pretty embarrassed was quite funny and he was a very serious guy 😂

my ds2 shook hands with the consultant first visit we went to yorkhill, I followed suit.I think-if its not a normal in your life its isn't weird.If its something which is "personal" its instinct based affirmation.

I am absolutely crying with laughter at some of these!! My most embarrassing was when I was introduced to our new work's Director. He shook my hand very firmly and said how nice it was to meet me and I sort of did a little curtsey and said that "It was nice to bite you"! To this day I have no idea where those words came from. We both pretended that I hadn't actually said that, before I walked away bright red.

I think it's nice

I was working for a PR agency and we were pitching to a potential big client. I was very junior and very nervous. When I was introduced to the Director of the business, let's say his name was Martin Smith, instead of saying 'nice to meet you', I just said (very loudly) 'SMITH!'.

My husband once shook the fist of his personal trainer. He still shudders about it and it was 10 years ago.

(Fist was proffered in a kind of ‘fist-bump’ way but my husband absolutely cannot pull off that kind of thing.)

I nearly tripped over one of the lads stacking tins of dog food in Tescos and said very loudly 'oopsy daisy, sorry darling'. He looked... terrified.

Buying car insurance over the phone... 'ahhh thanks so much, talk later, love you, byeeeee'.

I once ended a dare by handing over my business card as I said let’s keep in touch...

*Date!

I once handed the bin men a box for recycling before they drove off, he thanked me, and I told him to take care I hide on bin day now

Once my friend who I hadn't seen in a few weeks was pulling out of a car park, I mouthed to her 'you ok?' She nodded and then blew me a kiss..... unusual but I blew her one back. Turns out she was kind of signing that she had been sick. Awks 😐

@WilburIsSomePig

Pants as in underwear or pants as in trousers?

My parents were chatting to my friend’s parents at a do.

As mum said goodbye to friend’s dad, he went to kiss her and she CHUBBED HIS CHEEKS!!

Dad looked at her in horror. Mum looked at dad in horror. The other couple looked at them in horror. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mum said she didn’t know what came over her but she spent the rest of the evening avoiding him.

🤣🤣🤣
We totally take the piss out of her about it.

Once had a workman round for the day.

At the end I was stood by the door saying bye and as this early 30s work guy was walking down the drive he called by

Bye Bye Love You

I could see by his demeanour as he disappeared down the driveway he was thinking
WTF did I just say.

You could see he was giving his head a wobble , literally

My friends mate was pregnant and she used to rub her mates bump. My friend went to see her children’s teacher who was rather portly around his middle. She realised mid chat that she was rubbing his tummy! She said “I’m rubbing your tummy aren’t I?” And carried on! She then dug herself a hole by trying to explain that her friend was preg with a huge tummy etc etc. The teacher then requested her as a friend on Facebook! He must’ve like it! My friend declined
