That awkward moment when your standing in a city centre pub, standing 6ft 5inc, drinking a lemonade, relising that everyone is looking at you thinking your old bill. I'm not one for going in these places and even when i used to drink i never really went in to those noisy, over crowded, lets que for half & hour for a drink kind of places. Lets just say that as a sober man these places are more unapealing to me now than back in the day. I used to drink in those pubs on the outside of the city. The ones where you could get away with a cheeky line or jibba in the garden and one where you could sit down and listen to some quality tunes rather than the thump of the dreary top 40 X Factor rubbish. I'm 35 yet i was old enough to be most people Dad's. How on earth the majority of these children had managed to get in the door is beyond me. If the authorities wanted i'm sure they would have a field day if they turned up and demanded to see people's id's and these big chain establishments would soon find themselves in a lot of bother. Had to laugh though as people dont half look you up and down when you stick out like a sore thumb. Big bloke, shaven head, sipping a soft drink! Must be old plod! It was hilarious to see the looks i was getting. Plus the typical looks off of the big blokes that seemed threatend by anyone standing over 6ft ) That awkward moment when you relise that your far to old for all that marmite )
I'm sure we've all been there. My most awkward moments is when I wave at someone who I think is someone I know then realise it's only someone who looks like someone I know, which is usually followed by me walking right past that person pretending I was waving at someone else. I'm sure we've all done it. But it happens to me lots of times. It's similar to when I think someone's saying hello or waving to me at a party or something when in fact they're doing it to the person standing behind me.
Had that happen on many occasions. Feel like a right numpty when you relise your mistake :-[ I always get caught out when people beep their horns as you walk down the street. Look to see whats going on and wave only to relise that another pedestrian is waving away also.
It does remind me of a time when I went to see a band called 'Does it offend you yeah' at a local nightclub. I was on my own with a lot of space all around me, the largely teenage audience must have thought the same thing - copper. To top it off, when the band finished, they announced over the mic that it was now club night and if you're under 18 you have to leave.........and I left!!!
