I just indulged myself in 3 minutes of Englishness.

I’d love to hear her version of the encounter. “Some weird bloke in today, mumbling about sins or something” 😂

No criticism, but I can’t help but notice that neither of you appeared to mention that you ‘can’t believe it is December already’ - I find it’s always a good one to fill any awkward silence 👍

I once had a conveyer belt loaded up with cat food & the cashier asked me if I had cats??? 🙄 I said no.

Yep - that’s me. Don’t know how M&S staff are trained but without fail they pick one item from my basket every time, hold it aloft, read the title and say Ooooh Lochmuir Salmon (or whatever) - is that nice? (sometimes varied with that looks nice) I must try it. I normally go to great lengths to explain why I like it and why they should try it but can tell I’ve lost them and they’ve moved on not needing an answer because they’re only trained to ask not listen to me wittering on. See I’m even doing it now. 🤦♀️

Honestly as an autistic person I have these kind of conversations all the time xD I will then replay them in my mind for eternity

I was at a kid's 6th birthday party last weekend when after the happy birthday song finished my brother in-law jokingly shouted "SPEECH!". the grandmother was standing next to us and turned and said " oh wouldn't that be a lovely miracle".... the kid is heavily autistic with speech developmental delays and doesn't talk... he turned to me and mimed 😵🔫

A random strange man said to me in supermarket queue , this time last year (23rd Dec), I broke my right wrist and without thinking I said, that must have left you very frustrated over Christmas and then I noticed cashier had dived under the counter.

This is the type of awkward encounter where the monologue haunts you at 3am while you’re laid awake with a horrified face 😅

sladage :
In the US the cashiers are trained to make small talk at Trader Joe's and they always pick one item to exclaim on as if it’s a revelation. Some introverts really dislike it. I don’t mind it at all, every version feels like an improv skit. Now I have “for my sins” as an emergency line!
