So I was sitting in a coffee shop waiting for my Mum the other day and this bloke comes over and says hello. Now, because of all the Scout work I always say hello back and an as friendly as can be – just in case they are a parent or someone ‘useful’. He took the hello as an invitation to sit down and I tucked my irritation way down and prepared myself for an onslaught of questions about fundraising or events or something. What I got instead made me think that maybe he was’t a scout parent.
“So, when are we going to repeat the other night?”
“I’m sorry?”
“The other night – you and me – when are we going to repeat it?”
I searched desperately in my memory for black out periods or for any kind of connection in my head to the other night considering most of mine have been spent in some kind of screen (computer/teevee) related trance… and could find nothing.
“I think you may have the wrong person…”
He stopped and looked at me (well, when I say me I mean my chest) and then gathered his wits and got up looking me dead in the face and said, “Bitch.” before walking off.
This was after the haircut.
So, to the other person with my haircut who did something worth repeating with that guy… he wants to repeat it… oh, but thinks you are a bitch now.
Sorry.

I must say, you totally deserved it. The nerve of you just sitting there being polite! How dare you look like somebody else to confuse this nice gentleman! Must you cause trouble no matter where you go?
(but seriously, WTF?)

Well, aren’t you just a tad curious about what she’s done to him.
Very odd.

That’s the power of the bob, baby. Men can’t resist it. He made up the entire story just so he could talk to you!

Maybe it was a failed pick up line or something.

She’s obviously better off without him anyway. I mean hello…If he could not tell the difference between you and her? Bah!

Dave2 – I did feel like running after him and offering my fullest apologies for looking like someone else. Totally my fault!
Nat – Extremely curious – although I’m guessing by the leeriness of the guy it wasn’t something you could talk about in a church magazine!
Avitable – Yep. Crazy… and a little bit nuts.
Selma – I would very much like my bob to attract a better class of man please!
Dan – Failure on this scale is only known by sporting teams with England in the title!
Hilly – Oh yes. I feel a slight urge to find said woman and counsel her in some way… And maybe get fashion tips!
