“From Awkward Slips to Epic Fails: Unforgettable Tales of Embarrassment That Will Leave You Cringing!”
I thought a bartender was asking me out when he asked for my email for an email receipt. I pointed to my ring finger and said ‘I’m engaged’.
It was the first time I’d ever been asked for an email receipt, if that’s any excuse. It haunts me to this day.
It was the summer of 2012 and Carly Rae-Jepson’s ‘Call Me Maybe’ was f*****g EVERYWHERE.
It was only a matter of time before it started to be used as a pick up line and sailing so, my friend Luke was in his mind, the first and only person to have this thought.
Smitten with the cashier in Holland & Barrett he fumbled his way through the transaction, then decided he had to take his chance.
Instead of asking, or thank f**k…Singing this, he decided he wanted to leave it as a little note. The first issue being, neither of us had a pen.
So he goes back into the store and asks the target for the pen. She’s weary at this point but nonetheless gives the pen as Luke leaves with it. Second issue. We’ve no paper.
Luke goes back in a second time (Third if you count initial visit), and asks for some paper, again. Alarm bells ringing in this poor girls head but she prints off a piece of till receipt and hands it over.
Third issue, Luke follows inspiration from the song but f*****g butchers it and writes down
“Hey, I just met you.
And this is crazy
But my name’s Luke
and here’s my number”
Which pretty much negates his entire plan, but whatever.
We both go in, this poor girl is now reluctant to return to the till but a queue forms behind us so she is now contractually obliged to put up with this absolute nonsense.
