You're in the local CO-OP and you see a custy.  Do you hide in the cereal section or the frozen department?

No never, always give them a smile    they then hide if they see me again in the cereal section or frozen department.

I wouldn't be seen dead in a CO-OP!

Hi,

You have lost me on this one. Custy as in custard tart or custard cream?

Funny psychological thing, if you see someone you know in town who is not a 'friend' but an associate through work, quite often they pretend not to have seen you.  I always say hello to anyone I know through cleaning window or even giving a lift in a taxi to but have been quite dissapointed by the number of people who pretend not to know me, even though I know they do...if that makes sense....may it is a case of 'merely the window cleaner'

ww has the right idea
if you don't want someone to sit next to you

Just smile at them and tap the seat that they might have sat in
psycholgical really who wants to sit next to the local nutter

I bite my left shoulder and wink at them with    this also does the trick

Only brought this up as I do meet custies in the COOP from time to time (sorry poles apart!) and I grunt the usual 'who the fk are you' kind of grunts.  Anyway, I was in a Tesco Express for some reason (getting yet more bl00dy diesel   ) when I saw this ex-custy.  Well, sort of, she sort of an aquaintance of Mrs Rosy*, and she was damned rude by hardely ackoneldeging me there!  Rude old German, I thought, but as she didn't have any luftwaffe markings I thought  better of the confrontation, as she could have been mistake for a partisan in disguise.  I escaped across the Balkans (nearby suburbs).  Close shave.

* meaning yet another maquis

Bumped into a custy in a local shop as the misses was buying rubbish as usual.  I said "hello", with a smile, quite a nice custy that always tips at xmas. She didn't reply.   Anyway she walked away and was stood behind my misses in the que and the custies friend said "who was that?" and she replied in a he's a  scum bag  sort of way "just the window cleaner"  My misses heard and reported back to me what she said and now she is an ex custy.  If they cant be bothered to speak when out in public then balls to them, snooty old feks.

[Andy@w.c.s]

there is a plus side
if they owe you money just watch them squirm
then they are as nice as pie
"o hello how are you "?
yes isn't the weather bad at the moment
and by the way I've put a cheque in the post for last months ok see you"
heard it all before lov as she walks away

Not winding up at all,LJ!  I oviously need sky.  I found some mags years ago with tons of Nam stuff and that was amazing - lots of gore guns and guns and gore - right up my street.

Cheers for the tips re Sky.

[Wayne Thomas]

I always wave to a customer in the street if I recognise them and vice versa. I'm good at remembering faces but lousy at remembering names. The only problem I have is when someone waves to me who I can't place and then it bugs me trying to remember who the hell it was for days

[Tim Rose]

It begins to worry me when they knock at your back window at 10 o'clock at night.

[L.J.Thorpe]

its not really the gore for me  but i do find it interesting and as for guns go down your lbrary and get a janes gun guide out oh and i always say hello to custs even the prats

[xxmattyxx]

I was just off to work yesterday when a car went by, the person in it waved at me, but too late, I didnt recognise her through the tinted glass.....was one of me custys. She must have thought 'hmm, ignoramus, didnt even wave back at me'.

I thought afterwards I better stand outside the same time tomorrow to be sure I get a wave in when she goes by so she doesnt think about binning me for being rude
