A few months ago when I was in my car and trying to pull out at a junction and had to lower the passenger side window to see better because it was wet. Didn’t notice the two teenage schoolgirls who were standing on that corner, who from their point of view had just seen a middle aged man slowly drive up alongside them, lower the window, and stare intently in their direction.

The only way I can sleep at night is by telling myself I only imagined the look of utter revulsion on their faces.

Still not as bad as when I picked up a parcel from my next door neighbour and handed him the missed delivery slip, though.

did he ask you to sign for it?

No but if he had I would have done it without a second thought.

this reminds me a bit of the time only about 2 years ago (so I was 30+) when I answered the door at my Mum’s house and it was the window cleaner who just said without a moment’s hesitation “Is Mum and Dad in?” to which there was no possible response except “er, no”.

Almost every day, I’ll greet someone in an awkward way I’ll end up mulling over for the rest of the day.

For example:

“Morning. You alright?”
“Yes thanks”
– Why didn’t I ask back?

“Morning. You alright?”
“Not bad. You?”
“Yeah pretty good. You?”
– Fucking hell

“Morning”
“Yeah. You?”

Here are two separate things that people said to me when I answered the phone within the space of about a fortnight at the age of 14 when my voice was obviously absolutely all over the place:

“Hello there, is Mummy or Daddy there please?”

“Hello Mr REDACTED, we’re just calling about your vasectomy appointment”

Both extremely harrowing in their own way.

When I was a teen I was out late at night with 2 (male, this is pertinent) friends. We were enjoying ourselves in a chemical fashion.

We pass a middle aged couple in the street, as we go by the fella says to us “2 into 1 won’t go”

We walk along for a bit, totally confused. Eventually I can’t take it anymore and shout back “2 into 1 won’t go where?”

The woman grabs the guys arm and kind of leads him off - not wanting to get into a conversation with some idiots

It took me a long time to realise that my mate had long hair - and the guy thought he was a girl. Weird thing for him to say though

GREAT STORY!!!
