Could be a shop assistant. Could be like over the weekend the sole person in a spa who talked to me throughout the only two hours I had to relax sans sprogs. Defo people on public transport. Especially how do I put it politely...mad people. I haven't learnt the "don't talk to me face". I have the "talk to me and tell me anything you want" face. Once a pupil put her hand up mid lesson about Easter to tell me about her Nan's hysterectomy. Lovely.
People also weirdly enjoy telling me secrets despite me being atrocious in keeping them. I'm dreadful! By the time you're driving home in your car from a coffee with me, I've already text your news to my non caring hub.
However. I brought a 'Tea makes me twerk' mug from Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago. In London. The check out girl just asked how I was in passing. And I found myself telling her all about my night out the night before and how the mug was for me and I was a teacher and couldn't take it to school and so on and so on. She looked bored to death.
So maybe I haven't got that face. Maybe it's me that actively finds out the manager of a Boots and discusses the finer merits of ballet v tap.
So I apologise in advance. I feel my writing may be telling you all the random gumph that goes on in my mind. But here's a top tip. Don't tell me any secrets. Especially not about your Nan's hysterectomy. I may well put it in a blog.
hahahaha I love this post! I know exactly what you mean - blogging is definitely my way getting all the gumph out of my brain! Noted not to tell you any secrets - though I am dreadful with keeping secrets too - have got in trouble with people a few times for letting things slip when I shouldn't! Wish people wouldn't tell me things they don't want other people to know! Fab post #allaboutyou xx
ReplyDeleteThe thing is people know I'm rubbish at keeping secrets why do they insist on telling me them???? Fools xxx
DeleteThis post is brilliant. I also have one of those faces and used to be a teacher too so am spotting a trend. However, I could also talk a glass eye to sleep so am probably equally as guilty of this as the next person...
ReplyDeleteIt is defo me. I literally talk to anyone. I can't help it! xxx
Delete'Tea makes me twerk' - YOU ROCK!!! Thanks so much for the weekly hoot from reading your blog and for linking up to #AllAboutYou
ReplyDeleteTea does make me twerk. But to be honest? I would twerk anywhere at anytime! xxx
DeleteHa ha - brilliant! I will keep all secrets firmly to myself....! #AllAboutYou
ReplyDeleteDon't be telling me anything at Tots100! xxx
DeleteHa! I have one of those faces that every thinks they've met before, so I can relate. Loving your taste in mugs. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a totally inappropriate comedy mug! xxx
DeleteDon't tell anyone but I love a good twerk.
ReplyDeleteYou need to work on your "pissed off resting face" -- no one ever talks to me ;) I definitely do that thing where you talk to the cashier. I think it's because I'm uncomfortable but once I start I physically can't stop…argh!

Defo always bore cashiers to death. Especially if they simply ask if I am having a nice day. They must think I'm a bore! xxx
DeleteVery entertaining! I'm not someone who can easily talk to people so find myself feeling slightly jealous of you. :) #AllAboutYou
ReplyDeleteDon't be jeal. I talk to random strangers who don't actually want to talk to me! That's not the way to make friends and influence people! xxx
DeleteFantastic post, loved reading this! And yes I did laugh out loud! You're very funny, I think I'm funny but now I'm threatened ;-) #AllAboutYou
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! Thanks. What a lovely thing to say xxx
DeleteLoved this post! too funny. I get everyone's life story too - but I think I am strictly approachable to cabbies in particular! Thanks so much for linking to #AllAboutYou - always love reading your posts.
