"That was embarrassing. I just sat down next to the wrong woman."
Discovered: Wednesday 24th March, 2010.
Location: The train from Coventry to Euston.
Circumstances: Man sits down next to his wife and tells her what just happened.
Excuse(s): He was making polite conversation.
Consequence(s): 1 - Wife looks around to see if she can find the woman who supposedly looks like her. 2 - A lot of scowling. 3 - Ignores cup of tea husband goes to fetch for her. 4 - Silence for the next 58 minutes.
Positive(s): 1 - He had two cups of tea. 2 - I didn't have to listen to their Brummie accents.
Action to take next time: 1 - He needs to be more observant. 2 - I need to teach myself not to travel to Coventry.
