I look utterly smashed in the picture and my dress is splattered with water because I’d just washed my hands and got it everywhere.

I just remembered - when I was out on my birthday / pride, I had an old 70s SLR over my shoulder with a kaleidescope filter on the front, and the number of randoms I had coming to ask about it was off the scale. I imagine that there’s an element of people out that day … being slightly less inhibited, to put it mildly, but still
One day I will see someone reaching for something, lean over and get it off the shelf, put it in my trolley and walk off. One day.

Had a nice chat with an older gent in the park this morning who said
‘you don’t mind a chat do you’
to which i replied,
‘no worries, carry on’
and he said
‘i mean, we’re not going to fix the world but it’s nice to talk to someone’
so i responded
‘sure is man’
and then we had a nice chat.
Not really in answer to the thread is it, but a lovely exchange none the less.

Sorry
Me and an older fella overheard a blowjob happening in a pub toilet while we were standing at the urinal. Looked each other in the eye and burst out laughing.
About half an hour later he got up from his table and came over to me and said ‘I’m away to the toilet, meet you in there big man’ and the big laughs recommenced.

Did someone come up to you and say “that’s a smashing t-shirt you have on”?

He probably wasn’t laughing when he realised his attempt at getting a cheeky toilet blowie got him laughed at.

I used to get a LOT of comments about my youngest’s hair when I would be out and about with her as a toddler (it’s very bright red). Absolute strangers, often but not always old ladies, would stop me in the supermarket or the park to tell me how red it was.
I saw a picture of Rik Mayall’s coffin somewhere online the other day, and someone had commented “I bet he’s wearing a smashing blouse in there”. (smilingbutsad emoji)
