awkward moments

[Lucy Chambers]

God, I have had loads. I walked into the glass doors at HMV a few weeks ago, lovely bruise on my forehead for a week. Another time going to an outcall and my hold ups started slipping as I was walking into the reception..

I use to hate running for the bus and it just pulling off as i got there with everyone looking out the window and others standing at the bus stop...

Now when running for a bus that i miss i'll just continue to run past the bus stop

Myself and the ex went round for dinner with a couple we knew.
Parking outside their house is a nightmare, the only decent option is to just about squeeze into the driveway behind their car.

We arrived to find another car parked in this spot. Turned out they had invited another couple we had not met before along who got there before us.
When we got inside the other couple were sitting behind the table so to break the ice I made a witty comment about it being alright if he used MY space as long as he had his disabled sign in the window (there wasnt one).

Anyhow long story short, about an hour later he got up to go the loo, first time he had moved all night while the rest of us were bringing plates in and out and whatnot. I had formed the opinion at this stage that he was a lazy bastard.

When he got up it was only then I saw that he had only one leg and understood the icy silence that greeted my wonderful display of wit when we arrived.

That was 15 years ago, I still cringe a little when I think of it.

So you didn't go on to be mates then?

Eh....no. That was the one and only time we met funnily enough.

i was a bit wild when I was a kid and would always be messing in building sites climbing scaffolds or jumping from trees, anyway I have quite a few scars for my stupidity, one that I am especially proud of.

anyway when I meet someone new I always look out for any scars, you know to compare, just like a pissing contest. I was introduced to a friends boyfriend about 3 years ago and commented about the "cool" scar he had on his wrist. Turns out he had tried to commit suicide a few years before and by the look of the scar had a pretty good attempt at it too.

was able to hear a pin drop, not much fun. By the end of the night the couple had broken up as he thought his girlfriend told me about the suicide attempt and I was just taking the piss out of him

totally my fault but he shouldn't be wearing a t-shirt if he was so sensitive about the subject
