A very, very funny Byline (no pun intended) to this story. this girl was from a town about 4 hours from the city we live in. this weekend we were visiting another couple in their home town, a town not far from this "unicorn's" home town. we were out enjoying a band with the other couple, when lo and behold, the "unicorn" strides in the door of the pub we were at... what are the chances of that???
she caught mr p's eye first, and he asked Mrs P "is that the chick we were supposed to meet a few weeks ago?" Mrs P took a second look, and confirmed it was. we didn't pay her any more notice, until the man of the couple we were meeting with got up to go to the bar (the unicorn and her friends were seated directly behind him).
with him gone, she noticed us, the colour drained from her face, she wispered something to her friends, and they all RAN out of the bar, never to be seen for the rest of the night. Mrs P and I were on the floor laughing at how juvinile the reaction was, and thanking our stars that more didn't come of the intended meeting... we definately think we dodged a bullet there.
now in this town, the bar we were in is the only bar open after midnight according to our hosts (the incident happened at about 1am), so basically, the unicorn and her friends cut their night very short just to avoid us. we probably should be offended (we're surely not that bad
), but we just find it so amusing. our hosts did too. when we saw them the next day (they were very good hosts, ensuring we weren't left "bored" in their home town.), everyone would just erupt into laughter about it at random times.
So in short. Bullet dodged, lesson learnt. A friendly, down to earth, considerate, hospitable couple are worth spending time with. pretentious unicorns? forget it
