Laugh or cry!?

Happy birthday, Crazy.
Hope you hear from her.
She may still be in bed!

Thanks Beckett - I really needed a good laugh this morning. It's my birthday and all my family and friends have sent me text messages or phoned, but I am sad that my teenage granddaughter hasn't bothered. I practically brought her up because both parents were working. I have asked the family over this evening for an Indian takeaway, and asked her what she would like me to order for her .... no reply. Well. never mind, I'll get over it.

Well with my sense of humour I’d have cracked up: I wouldn’t have been embarrassed you hadn’t done anything,I’d have said wow I don’t usually cause this much attention and laughed it off

I once got in a lift with my OH which had 2 other people in it. The doors didn't close and the recorded message said that the lift was seriously overcrowded and wouldn't move. It had a 15 person capacity and I know I am overweight but I was so embarrassed. Apparently, it did that occasionally, but I got out and walked the five flights hoping never to see those people again!

how very strange!

Going through Belfast airport I was pulled aside after my handbag went through the scanner. "There's a mass in your bag" the security man said. I was so worried as I'd bought the bag in a charity shop. What if there was something in there? He told me to empty it and out fell all the euro coins I'd thrown in the bottom. Whew what a relief. That was the mass.

Oh, yes, possibly. It is just that the security people said it was probably the fabric. I was just playing 'in and out the dusty windows'1 with the arch. DD and DH just thought it was hilarious

Wouldn't it have been the metal buckle that set off the alarm M0nica.
I've never heard of a cloth buckle, unless the metal had a cloth covering in which case your shoes were still the culprit.

Not quite as bad, but going through the magnetic arch at a cruise terminal recently, the alarm kept going off. They patted me down. First it was keys in my pocket (my fault) then they thought it was a plastic belt, then they asked about pacemakers and steel rods in my body. Finally they came to the conclusion it was my shoes they were cloth but of a rose gold colour that may have been metal. On every pass through the arch that set off the alarm I gathered more interested observers.

Thankfully by that time they were happy that whatever it was was unlikely to be dangerous so they let me through without me having to take my shoes off. which was a relief, as they were dainty sandals with a small buckle at the side of each which are absolute xxxxxx to undo and do up. And what would I have to have taken off next if the alarm had still sounded after I had taken my shoes off.

Not so much embarrassed as puzzled! However, I have vowed to lose weight before I use the bus again!

Were you embarrassed?
