I’ve met all my friends on the dibb because when people meet me in the flesh they think I’m a mentalist and don’t want to be my friend😢

the south is weird too. last time i visited, i said hello, how are you doing to someone on the train and they replied "no thank you" and walked off to another seat - he must have mistook my slightly scouse accent.

later on at the station I was looking for the underground entrance and i asked a well dressed gentleman in a suit and bowler hat. i think he didnt speak english as he simply turned right around and walked off.

We know better than to trust strangers on a train!
Not so sure about the second one though, that was rude.
