ThatNiceMan asks: Have you ever been talking with people down the pub when somebody throws such a complete curveball (Sample WTF moment: "I wonder what it's like to get bummed") that all talk is stopped dead? Tell us!

In 2008
I was going through the waiting process to get my green card, which meant I couldn't leave the US. So of course my dear old mum had to go and bloody die and thus I couldn't go home even on emergency travel papers.

A month to the day after she died, I got confirmation that my green card was approved and excitedly rushed to the pub (the same pub we'd had mums wake at in absentia) with the news.

One guy who'd stood up at mums service (I had one for her here as my mates knew her) and delivered a hilarious story turned around with 'oh, you can go back to Hull to see you're mom then'. Silence. Followed by 'oh fuck' as he turned around, picked up his coat and walked out the door.
