Twitter is like a Pandora’s box for amazingly hilarious stories. Twitter will make laugh out loud for real with most of its content. And this story below is another gem found from the treasures of Twitter. It is a story like no other and one that will teach you to choose your words wisely in the future or you may end up in the same jumble as our main character.
James Roberts, our hero of the story, took to Twitter to recount his tale of how he accidentally ended up asking someone out in a supermarket no less! You’re gonna be weeping tears of laughter after reading his encounter.
Here’s how it all began!
So I just very accidentally asked someone out. >

And then the “heroine” enters the scene…
There's a woman who works at the checkout at supermarket and we always have a chat while I'm packing away my groceries (see tweets passim).

Friendship begins to form.
Topic wise, our conversations aren't that wide ranging (mainly grocery-related), but she's funny and we have a laugh.
— James Roberts (@jroberts332) July 24, 2017
Good that he made this clear!
To emphasise: It's not like I make a beeline for her checkout. Contact is sporadic and by chance.

Ooh, where do I sign up?
Now for an important detail: this supermarket has a loyalty scheme and if you're a member you can get a free hot beverage.

Of. Course -_-
But you have to collect a cup as you buy your groceries. And sometimes they stop 'serving' after 7pm.

And then here comes the twist!
Today, I was being served by this person and we had a laugh; and it was because we were chatting that I forgot to ask for my cup.

Cliffhanger…
I'd bagged my stuff and paid; and when I remembered the free beverage and realised it was after 7pm, I looked at this poor woman and said:
— James Roberts (@jroberts332) July 24, 2017
Oh no!
"Sorry if this is awkward, but is it too late to get a drink?"
— James Roberts (@jroberts332) July 24, 2017
*Silence*
And she looked at me for 9 hours, the awkwardness seeping into her soul. And the SECOND I realised what it *sounded like* I'd said >
James Roberts (@jroberts332) July 24, 2017
Awkwaaard.
she smiled (a pity smile) and said, "I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend."
— James Roberts (@jroberts332) July 24, 2017
The end
And that's why I am never speaking to anyone ever again.
THE END
