"Old enough to be...."
I was in the passnger seat driving with a friend along Baker Street. It was a very hot day and everyone had their windows open. Stuck in traffic, as one tends to be along that street, the lanes on either side would occasioanally move a bit quicker. To the left of our car you could hear horses feet, I turned to see a horse drawn carriage pull up and I made eye contact with quite a stunning bride. She was very beautiful, all fairy tale dress and flowers. So, of course I just had to say “congratulations, you look very beautiful”. She demurely smiled and thanked me, and so the bloke at her side (in my defence at LEAST 30 years her senior, although my conscience may be exagerating here) turned to see who she was speaking to “Congratulations, sir, you must be very proud, your daughter looks stunning”

“I'm not the Father, I’m the Husband”

God, I really wonder if I just totally ruined their day...neither looked even remotely amused..I was so shocked, my friend had to close the window remotely as I was just frozen with embaressment

I changed my username
Just because it was the first thing that came to mind when I read this.

(Similar, but not quite as amusing, thing happened when I was getting a flight a couple of weeks ago. And old man, possibly having had a recent stroke was being wheeled onto the plane along a busy airbridge when the cabin crew said to his companion, "you go ahead of your Father".

more than once i have been happily singing aloud to some seriously shit cheesy music
to remember far too late that the top is down on the car. although once an entire bus queue of schoolgirls joined in with "time of my life", so that was quite amusing.

We're you fiddling with your rosaries at the time?

No, but
I did bow my head with great respect and Genuflect! Genuflect! Genuflect!

I drew the line at making a cross on my abdomen, though.

I was once married to a chap 20 years my senior.
We were celebrating our 3rd anniversary at a restaurant in Broome and were doing the cheesy champagne-toast-thing when someone from the large group at the next table asked "Special Occasion?" and my companion smiled "Yes! It's my wedding anniversary!" And I chimed in "Shame his wife isn't here!"
hahahaha.
Every female in that restaurant wanted to kill me. But I was a bit cunted on dizzyade, so it wasn't my fault. Apparently.
