Okay, here's a random funny story. Once I was in Winners w some friends and I saw a nice pair of shoes on the ground and I'm like "Wow! These are awesome" and I took off my shoes and tried them on. Little did I realize that there was some lady beside me trying on shoes and she was like "ummm, those are *my* shoes."
It reminded me of the time (probably 15 years ago) that I was standing in Mc Donalds after ordering and waiting for my food. The cashier put a tray on the counter with some fries and a pop on it (soda for the Americans). I start to eat a few fries when she places a Big Mac on the tray. Hmmm I didn't order a Big Mac.....then I see an arm reach in and a voice say "excuse me". Yeah I was totally eating off of this guys tray and to make matters worse it was an older guy from my high school. He didn't seem to care but I was mortified.
Last year (why is it always with food??) I was at a hotel and they had one of those continental breakfasts with muffins, coffee and tea. Anyway I see a plate with a few bagels on it and I'm rather dismayed as the bagels have raisins in them and I really don't like raisins but I'm hungry and figure I'll just have to suck it up, pick them out and eat the bloody thing. So I take a bagel off the plate when again a hand reaches in.....dammit I did it again!! Some guy had left his plate lying around while he went to get some coffee and for whatever reason I assumed it was the bagel plate. He laughed and didn't seem to mind however I was pissed as I was stuck with this nasty bagel when there was a large quantity of non raisin bagels at my fingertips. I couldn't possibly put it back or worse yet place it back on his plate though I really really wanted to. Can you imagine "here you go sir, you can have it back now I didn't want this one anyway. "

LOL Those stories are funny.
I've been in the opposite boat where someone has stolen my beverage at a coffee store, and then taken a drink, so I had to wait for a second one to be made for me.
The lady at Winners was nice about it, I think. I couldn't tell 'cuz all my friends were laughing at me. :)
Once in teachers' college a girl stood up in class and said "Did anyone take my black coat? I have the wrong black coat here, and I can't find mine." I sat there for awhile, then checked my coat pocket and pulled out a lipstick that was not mine. I was the coat thief. At least she was nice enough to take mine for me.
Last night, my family attended a showing at a funeral home. My mother and I went into the lounge to get some water. My father followed us in and began to reach his hand into the tray of timbits.
"Whoh, Dad. You can't have those."
He looked at me with a dumb face.
"See that sign. Those are for the xxxx family."
"What sign?"
"This one that says 'The timbits are for the xxxx family.'"
"I didn't see any sign."
"It's right in front of you."
"Who's the xxxx family?"
"Probably some other family mourning the loss of a loved one."
"Oooohhh."
There seems to be a pattern here as you must be careful when eating out in public Miss Ash. Ha. If not, one of these days, someone is going to get very angry when you assault their food with your own intentions.
hahaha..the shoe one really cracks me up for some reason...I can just picture it. lol
Christielli, I always find Starbucks to have drink issues every now and again....how can someone not remember what they ordered???
WIGSF, Ha! Did he take one anyway?
2DP, true true but do note there was a good 15 or so years between incidents of non intentional thievery.
JLee, I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often.
I loved the McDonalds story.
Not quite the same but a while back I was in a supermarket and I took a box of ceral from the shelf and could see that was leaving all the rest of the boxes looking very vulnerable. I walked away and someone else took a box and of course the whole display fell to the ground making a loud noise and a great big mess. I shot into the next lane as fast as my trainers would take me.
When I was in college I was in our library and went to the librarian to get a book. She said, get a tissue. I was so embarassed. I quickly wiped my nose with the back of my hand. She said again, get a tissue. I was mortified.
Then it dawned upon me, she was saying, 'get it issued.'
I seem to get myself into awkward moments like that all the time.
Hehe these are great stories!
I can't think of anything to share! Damn it.
LLCJ, Ha! You should have stayed around to help for shame lol.
Yrautca, she must have wondered why you kept rubbing your nose!
BB, you know what, I can totally picture that. You should dedicate a post to such stories.
Rawbean, that's a good sign, perhaps you haven't embarassed yourself infront of others.
I was out dancing one night with my girlfriend at the time. I left the dance floor to got to the bathroom and came back to see her still out there.
I go up behind her and put my hands on her hips. She starts grinding me in a fashion that was unlike her, but I went with it. She turned around and started getting really freaky on the floor. It was then upon closer inspection that it wasn't my girlfriend. In shock I apologize which confused her. She just thought I was some random guy hitting on her.
My girlfriend observed this and was none too happy at the moment, but laughed about it later thankfully.
