You talkin' to me?

Cathy and I were strolling along this cute little strip of boutiques when this guy wearing sunglasses comes walking towards us and motions to the store we just came out of. He's a little gruff but he says, "Hey, did you just come out there?" Of course, I'm wondering, 'why the hell do you care?' but instead I say, "Oh yes...we did." By this time he is right in front of us and we slowed our steps, assuming he had more questions. He, however walks straight past us without so much as a nod. I turned around and realized that he had been addressing his kids who were standing right behind us. Ooops. I was mortified! Cathy burst into a fit of giggles and I pushed her into a bush.

In a reverse of this, when I'm out somewhere and I see a guy or girl in a uniform with their name on it I'll say hi and use their name like I know them...

"Hey Phil! Howzit going?"

I love the looks I get...

lol I've been a victim of this type of scenario before. A girl waved at me once and I was there waving back.
It Turns out it was some other girl she was signalling to..oops!

I hate that...and unlike being able to cover up waving by continuing with the arm motion and running your fingers through your hair or whatever, there's really no recovering from actually responding to the guy. But it's much funnier that way :)
I bet you'd be a trip to hang out with!

"and I pushed her into a bush." was the funniest part, lol!

I think, most of us have been the victim of this type of mortification countless times, I know I have, and it never gets any less embarassing - at least you didn't walk into the local supermarket with your boobs hanging out (I've done that - accidently I should add) or fallen off a tram in front of hundreds of people(I've done that) or screamed at the top of your lungs "get me off of this thing, I don't want to die" at the fairground and had to walk past crowds of gigglers after or...nah, best not go on :-)

I hate it when that happens! I swear they are making direct contact with me... Do you think people do this on purpose? I should try it and see what happens! LOL!

Ick... just like when you see someone and start waving and then realize it is not the person you thought... hehehe and the wave then becomes some awkward "I wasn't waving thing."

i love pushing people in bushes
we used to do it a lot on the way home from school
then there was the drunken phase of just jumping into them instead
we're weird like that i guess

We have all done this, you take it to a new twist with the punch line of pushing your friend into the bush, bravo, as he stands to clap!

At least you didn't ask him a question... "why are you asking?" or something like that. Like the revenge though... "laugh at me and I'll push you in a bush."

You should have told him you saw his kids shoplifting.

Funny - I think it's happened to everyone - except it's worse when you are a guy and it's a girl you think is trying to signal you. Truely embaressing
