What's worse is when you meet someone in the supermarket, talk to them for a good while on one aisle, then you leave and keep meeting on other aisles.

*groan* I hate that! And you both have to do the raised eyebrow thing and one of you has to say, 'We gotta stop meeting like this!'

Not cool. Ever

I have bad eyesight, and once, before my sight became so poor it made functioning without some sort of visionary aid practically impossible, I was walking on the main road towards my house alongside heavy traffic without glasses or lenses. The traffic was moving so slow that I was pretty much going the same speed as it.

I blurrily noticed someone in a van travelling right next to me waving at me from the passenger seat. Unfortunately, due to my optical handicap I had no idea who was waving, how well I knew them or how to respond to the waving. It was just a waving shape to me!
Awkwardness ensued: wave back? go to the window and say hello? pretend I don't notice them and carry on? or just kindof half-wave, put the head down and power-walk away faster than the traffic? I took the latter option!

I wonder how many times my eyesight has led to people thinking I was one seriously antisocial baxtard!

That's one of the best stories I've heard in a long time OP :pac:

Reminds me of one night, I was coming out of a club.. I was getting a taxi and this girl jumps in with me. I'm like - Ok, we're sharing a taxi so...

Anyway, she gets dropped off first - and she tells the taxi driver that I'm getting off with her. I'm actually shocked by this and get out.. realising 10 seconds later when the taxi is gone, that I'm bolloxed drunk and want to go home for some food - and that this girl wasn't much of a looker anyway (not ugly by any means, just average).

So we're standing outside her apartment, and she tells me she's waiting for her house-mate to come back with the keys. I realise now that 1 - I'm out of pocket for a taxi home, 2 - I'm starving, and 3 - I'm stuck outside in the cold with this girl I've never met before..

So I tell her I need to take a leak - I walk up around the corner, and just PEG IT through a laneway and only stop running 20 minutes later when I'm at my house. I remember thinking about her probably giving me a few minutes to come back, and then looking around the corner to see myself replaced by thin air.

Haven't shared a taxi since. In hindsight, I would have done the exact same! But you reminded me of it with how you pegged it off.

You were drunk and an 'average' looking girl offered you no-guilt sex

- and you legged it.

I am in awe of your valour sir.

That part I seriously doubt, because your actions suggest otherwise.

No sex was guaranteed - and it was starting to piss rain. T'was freezing, and her friend wasn't going to be home for at least an hour. Leftover pizza, a **** and a warm bed were much more enticing on the night.

Haha, doubt all you want, both of my jobs pretty much demand I have a bit of neck.

But, like I said, I'm a wuss when it comes to small-talk. If I can avoid it and don't care what's new in their life...I don't want to have to pretend to.

If she knew her housemate wasn't going to be there...there's a reason she got in the taxi. You missed out on a blowie at the very least. Fair play to your resilience unless she was absolutely rotten!

That's actually my surname. No lies. Though it's spelled Leggett.

Lived up to it tonight anyway...:D

Your name is Leggo Leggett? Parents can be cnuts sometimes.

It was either that or Quick.

So could have been worse...

leggo, poker face that bitch.

By the fact that she had a big angry head on her .. I imply that you must have fathered a child with her best friend.

...I thought that went well!
