I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other cubicle saying:
‘Hi, how are you?‘
I’m not the type to start a conversation in the ladies room. I don’t know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
‘I’m grand!’
And the other person says:
‘So what are you up to?’
What kind of question is that? At that point, I’m thinking this is crazy so I say:
‘Uhhh, I’m like you, just sitting here.’
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question:
‘Can I come over?’
Ok, this question is just too weird for me. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say:
‘No……..I’m a little busy right now!!!’
Then I hear the person say, nervously:
‘Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other cubicle who keeps answering all my questions!!‘ |

I knew I recognised that voice!
No doubt you had a chat with my ‘prize’ find too

Hahaha! Brilliant! Used always happen to me on trams when people used to answer hands free! I would always go to say “sorry I dont speak German!” then realise they were on the phone!

@Hails - Glad to make you smile.
@Steph - I was far too busy with my trail of real toyboys on their knees outside!
@Stephen - I often make that mistake… I put it down to age.

Excellent! I do the same thing to Answering machines before I realise that it’s a voice recording. Very embarrassing.

Thanks for the chuckle, that was cute! I’d have to say the fool though, was the one who was having a cell conversation with someone while THEY WERE SITTING ON THE TOILET! yuck!

Maureen,
Not the best place to have a phone conversation, I agree!

Thanks for a great laugh. I’ve done this sort of thing myself. Talk about embarrassment!
