Could be worse..... could use something to catch your sneeze and when you look at it afterwards its their underwear.

Oh yeah... The Basil and cheese thing?



Better than guessing someone's gender wrong, there's no recovering for that one. "Excuse me, sir- MA'AM!.... Okay......."

Yeah, that's the one. Its such an unusual thread title, I don't know why I couldn't remember it.

Its not that difficult to tell if someone is male or female, even if they don't fit into what would could be considered a "normal appearance". Back when I took art classes as part of my studies, basic anatomy and structure were part of the course. Men, as a rule, have a heavier, protruding brow ridge (superciliary arches), heavier jawline which sits forward on profile. In other words, our jaws stick out farther than women's. Its indicators like these which allow forensic pathologists to deduce if a skull is male or female, if the only thing they have is a skull.

I only remember cause I finally found the "watched threads" button and saw it while I was looking for this thread. Lol

Well yeah, if you're paying attention, but if you're like behind them and just assume because of their clothes or hair, etc.

Yeah, Ive never tried "stalking" someone from behind. lol

That awkward moment when you're on a date, and you order sushi, and the waiter brings you another table's order...but you both eat it, and then your actual order arrives. What??

This is a true story.

Stupid phone sent post before finished.

Sounds like you were both about as hungry as a lady friend of mine was...... when a group of us went out to eat. My friend and his girlfriend a woman friend that is a kinda crush and I went out to eat.

Me and my guy friend didn't order that much. His g/f and this lady ordered practically everything on the menu.

It was a bit funny to see two men ordering less than the woman with them.

I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and soda
He ordered a sandwich or something with sides, and a shake.
His girlfriend ordered a sandwich with sides, a slice of pie

hahaha

What's funny is, we didn't even realize we were eating someone else's order? lol We couldn't remember what we ordered? haha That was a good date, so maybe we were soooo into each other that we just couldn't remember what we ordered.

Yea, that sounds good.

Yeah, sounds about like that night. The service was horrible. We ACTUALLY received our food before receiving our drinks. That is sad being that drinks are usually on the table before anything.

We were sitting there for about 45 mins or so without even getting our drinks. It wasn't til my friend and I talked to the people that we got our food and drinks swiftly. We actually tipped the other people we talked to that got us our food and drink instead. The guy waiting on us was rude, when the lady asked a question about food. He cut her off and disappeared instead of answering a 2 second question. The guy waiting on us was running around to all the surrounding tables but ours.

I understand people get busy, but 45 mins to get drinks to the table alone as he passed our table constantly (Would have been longer if my friend and I hadn't said something). We tipped those that helped us, not the guy that was assigned to our table.

By the time all the food arrived I had completely forgotten what I ordered. That says something cause my default is ALWAYS a cheeseburger.

We guys said something while the two ladys sat there gabbing telling us not to make a scene. We didnt cause a scene and yet, we saw to it our food got there and we didn't even have to be jerks.

That moment when you cough in your doctor's face while she was checking your throat. Her face people...her facial expression....she jumped back. ha ha ha. Surely I am not the only one to have done something like that? I couldn't help it...

I've done it many times.......... you don't tell a person with a coughing sickness to "breathe deeply" and stand in front of them....... or sit there and look into their eyes with a light when they cant go two seconds without hacking up a lung and expect a different outcome.

I dont like to do it......... but...... even if its a non sick cough I turn my head away from others. (I dont cover my mouth unless I am in a crowd with people on all sides.)

That awkward moment when you're meeting someone for the first time and you try joking around with them, but you get zero reaction from them and you awkwardly switch to acting more serious. Oops.

Awww, I get that all the time Owly. I usually dont switch to being more serious though. Life is too short not to have a sense of humor.

This thread...I should browse through posts in here more often. Lol. Good stuff.
