Weird things that have happened..

[azekeil]

Starting with the most weird:

• Getting mistaken for a fruit and veg seller while waiting for hauntedunix outside Goodge Street station and handing a punter a blue plastic bag and being asked about mangos before I recovered enough to respond that I didn't work there (just as the stall owner appeared and said the same thing at the same time)
• Setting off a smoke alarm briefly in my hotel room with post-dinner gassiness
• Realising that the music being played at breakfast was the theme from the Lord of the Rings movies. Then they started playing the theme from Harry Potter...
• Being in central London but finding myself in a really quiet part of it..
• ..quiet enough to realise that the regular periodic rumbling I could hear in my hotel room was probably the underground, which struck me as bizarre

Being in central London but finding myself in a really quiet part of it.

You're in central London and you didn't mention it to me? I'm wounded ;)

Whereabouts are you?

Now I'm back in Cheltenham.. sorry, I haven't really been thinking straight recently.

Getting mistaken for a fruit and veg seller

this frustrates me. Not being mistaken for being a fruit and veg seller, that's never happened to me. No, but what does happen - and it happens a lot - is being mistaken for an employee when shopping.

It didn't bother me to start with; but between Sainsburys, Tesco, PC World and Toys'R'Us bearly a week goes by without some little old dear or otherwise person who should know better, acosting me for help with something as earth shattering as where all of the sodding Potatoes are.

I've asked real employees if I resemble any member of staff, or if I've got a particular look about me, and they are all as baffled as I am. Clearly I just have one of those "shelf-stacker" faces!

Maybe you need to take a basket round with you...
