If you're thinking "Flying Crisps????" What is she on about this time; I invite you to read on, and probably by the end you'll cross out my name and put in yours instead.
Enjoy...
I
kid you not; this is a real life story that happened to “a friend of mine”…
Ok, I admit it, it was me:-(
I
had just come out of a class and was perched on a cold metal seat in Waterloo Underground
station, munching on a greasy packet of Walkers crisps; man was I hungry. About halfway through my ready salted lovelies, my train arrived.
I
got into the carriage, and seated right in front of me was a specimen of male gorgeousness, so I
immediately discarded the semi-empty packet of crisps, which I had almost been
tempted to tip into my mouth for the last few crumbs of my 50pence.
I
had to look good and well-presented in front of this guy. Vegetable-oil flavoured lip gloss was definitely not in vogue. So I began fiddling with
my phone and acting like I was busy, whilst sneaking cheeky peeks from my
lowered lashes.
Just
before my designated stop, a thought came to mind and in order not to lose it,
I started tapping away at my phone. I honestly didn’t realize the minute the
train jerked to a halt. And in pure out-of-body fashion, I saw my phone
slipping from my hands in one direction and my body flying into the lady in the
other direction.
Talk
about embarrassing moments?
Needless
to say I picked up my phone, gathered my pride and marched out of the train,
head held very high.
Maybe
if I had just popped the crumbs into my mouth I wouldn’t have noticed or cared
if the dude was there or not.
Or
maybe, just maybe those last few shavings of my 50pence purchase would have given
me the required amount of energy to steady myself, in the face of such a
forceful halt.
Although upon reflection, the so-called "specimen of gorgeousness" had neither stood up to let me have a seat, nor had he even attempted to break my fall. (Eyes rolling in disgust).
So please if anyone finds a dejected looking packet of walkers please page me, cos I've got some unfinished business to complete.
Phew!! I feel a lot lighter, now that I’ve shared that with the world.
xoxo...
